well, it's the last day of the year again. time for the traditional reflection.
in a way, it feels like i've lived two different years. one was before i started uni, and one after i started uni.
the year started at such a comfortable pace. long holidays, teaching tuition three times a week, reading as much as i wanted to, shopping, catching up with loved ones. enjoyable, but didn't feel quite right, i think my body cannot stand this sort of pace for too long.
then, i started official work at INCOME. then i became the efficient workaholic who stayed even later than my supervisor on MY LAST DAY AT WORK -.- but i realise i enjoyed it. i think i will be a workaholic next time, because i take pride in my work, and i like making myself busy, it takes my mine off things.
first realisation of the year, i am cut out to be a workaholic.
then, i quit to prepare for SEASON OF BLOOMS. this was really important to me cos it allowed me to get to know my juniors and make up for the two years in jc where i neglected NYCD. oh how i missed it. missed laoshi and the way she constantly takes care of us, missed the camaraderie of NYCD dancers, missed the stage. i admit, i'm a stage whore. i missed the discipline of being a dancer at NYCD, i missed how much people cared for laoshi. the night itself flashed by in a blur, i remember thinking before going onstage for dongtian (which was the second last item) "omg where did the night go?".
admirable spirit: there was a sec 1 who went onstage with a pretty high fever. fiona had asthma but continued dancing. really lives out what laoshi says: 死也要死在舞台上。i have been inspired by them. also amazed by how the sec 3s didn't get pissed at me for 黄孩子，i think i was quite annoying for making them repeat and repeat and repeat, and dance at the weirdest places. and how we forced out the lift.
while preparing for seasons i took one week off for WKWSCIFOC 2008. and i don't regret it one bit. what i took out of it was a bunch of great friends who made life in CS so enjoyable. i think i'll hate being in CS if not for the camp and ravis, i'll feel all lonely and left out.
so here's a huge thank you to all fellow ravi peeps and seniors alike (: and for all the invaluable advice and help that the seniors so willingly dispensed (:
Uni life isn't easy, in fact i think it's harder than jc. i think cos there's more things to worry about/handle in uni. but it shows the people whom u've to treasure, because there are some people who are always willing to help you, support you, or just be a listening ear. it makes me treasure my friends more.
for dance, well NTU chi dance was disappointing, i have to say. but now, it no longer is (: i think it helps that i've formed a closer bond with many of the dancers, and i'm more comfortable being myself there. and for this whole entire holidays, i've only been in contact with my fellow dancers. so we're much closer, and the better for it.
i've missed HCCD, but the food trail made up for it. i miss people like yanyin sigh. and i so badly want to shop with her. come back quickly!!! and i've to start making my parents accustomed to thinking i can go overseas by myself with my friends in order to be able to visit liting in australia nxt hols. please please please.
my results just came out, and they're pretty shocking, because i didn't work hard and i got a GPA of 4.4. well, 4.39 if you want to be annoying about it.
1. therefore, i will work harder and attain first class the next sem. hopefully.
that's the biggest resolution i have for the next year.
2. but i also want to work harder for dance and NEVER allow myself to get back to the imba low standard i was after the exams. omg that was the ultimate worst i've ever been.
3. i WILL LEARN at least JIVE AND RUMBA. year two sem 1 i'm joining DSA with meng ai (: can't wait!! i want i want i want!
4. i will be nicer to my friends. i think i've neglected some of my closer ones like ZL cos i got so caught up with all the things i've been doing.
5. i will EAT LESS JUNK FOOD. fengjunie will be laughing at this hoho. i'll probably get suanned for the whole entire next year because of this too. but it shall be a resolution nonetheless. (:
ok i shall cap it at that -.- too many resolutions will make things very difficult for me next year. this shall be it!
