i'm leaving tmr morning and i haven't packed yet.
haha a really bad habit of mine, always doing last minute packing
i shall do it later while watching "guess guess guess" haha

today i was super early for huay kuan haha! yay.
i was the first girl there, when i went in, zhong laoshi and zuyou were watching some dance cum singing show.
HAHA ZINA TAN I"M STILL EARLIER THAN YOU.
class was funny, huay kuan people are nice people to be around with! haha
but my left pelvis is hurting, not aching but hurting, which is quite bad cos every develope i do its pain. i also don't know what is it, its like internal pain. i really hope that it will recover soon..
we finally did ti1 tui3 today, and when we were going the pian4 tui3 thing my left pelvis was going "cluck" every time i do one and it kind of hurts sometimes, whats wrong man..

after class went for elizabeth's church BBQ, it was quite okay haha, food was nice and we played this game called "1,2,3, jump" chatted, ate and then went home haha!

I still can't acept the fact that i'll be missing Dinghong laoshi's class and "ballet under the stars" tmr, I WANT TO GO FOR CLASS AND CONCERT!!!

i hope i don't have to go to school next friday.

-------------

i'm not sure if its the weather,
but today for once after a long time, i felt good about going to NAFA.
maybe its because this week i've got the mood to go for trainings and NAFA just happened to be the first training of the week.

lesson today was quite interesting as well cos we didn't do the same old boring stuffs in our grade syllabus, tried different stuffs and even though i couldn't do it all perfectly, but i felt good when i was doing it, not because of the music or the people, its just me, i felt like i've improved, so i'm glad. I think that lessons now at NAFA is more fruitful than a few months ago where we will just do all the grade stuffs slowly one my one, its just too boring and its kind of difficult to improve a lot that way.

did mainly all the tiao4 zu3 he2 today, and i like to do jumps haha. i can really tell that zls is really paying more attention to me and pointing out my mistakes like every single time. i'm kind of stressed by that, but i know that its good for me, better try and get everything right before going to HKAPA and get scolded more badly there. I'm really in the mood to improve myself recently, i want to keep practising so many different things (:

My parents like super impromptu asked me to go for a cruise with the both of them this Sunday and we'll only be back next thursday. The whole decision was so sudden, but i'm going.
The only thing that i'm kind of feeling regretful about is that the cruise is early morning on Sunday, so i won't be able to go for Dinghong Laoshi's class and i can't go and watch "ballet under the stars" with elizabeth, jiayin and agnes when i paid for the tickets already! and i was so SUPER looking forward to got for the show with the three of them, i really really wanted to go ):

anyway, today my dad sent all the documents for my admission to HKAPA. The admission letter was filled with a whole chunk of forms, so my dad and i spent the whole of last night to get everything signed and sort out. haha efficient eh? cos we'll not be in Singapore from Sunday to Thursday and the letter has to reach HKAPA by friday, so we only have today and tmr. hahha but we've already sent the letter today so its not too big of a problem.
Oh but we haven't settle the medical form yet cos i have to go for the medical examination first and i'm actually scared of it cos they'll have to take my blood for testing and i'm freaking afraid of needles.

i hope i don't ache too badly tmr, and i'm still in the mood to dance!

-------------

waitED, finally.

THANK GOD REALLY.
a while ago, someone came ringing the doorbell and she is from speedpost!
thank you for coming again

I GOT MY ADMISSION LETTER ALREADY! (:

-------------

wait and wait,
and still waiting

i was really hoping that i will receive the letter from HKAPA today.
cos i checked online this morning about the speedpost delivery before i went to school
and the shipment history of my letter said that the letter has arrived at singapore at 4:38am
so i was really really hoping that i will receive it in the afternoon.

BUT.

when i went home, i checked the shipment history and it says:
Date and Time : 24/07/08 14:11
Status : Failed Delivery
Reason : Delivery attempted but no response

i was like what?! and then i found out that at 14:00, my maid left the house to run some errands so no one was at home.
great.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME AGAIN TMR COURIER PEOPLE!
i so badly want my letter

-------------

i love the weekends!

anyway, was late for huay kuan today, and zhong laoshi was totally glaring at me when i entered the dance room haha! jokingly of course. but zina came later than me!
then i just joined in, cos i was only bout 5 mins late so i pratically didn't miss anything.
Class today was okay for me. MY BUTT IS ACHING IS LIKE CRAZY! i think its cos of NAFA yesterday, today i woke up and i totally wanted to lie on my bed forever.
and my pang2 yao1 is aching too. da bian i'm so weak lah.
little bit then ache here ache there liao.
and surprisingly, i kind of enjoyed doing barre in huay kuan today, although i was really sleepy haha! and i was panting much more during class, see i told you i'm weak, but i'm sure i'll be stronger in days to come (:

my aches are killing me!

-------------

Had the student council commendation at the St.Andrew's Cathedral today
actually i kind of like it, its something different lah.
although some parts are so boring but i can tell that everyone has put in a lot of effort
its kind of interesting having the whole SAJC JC1 cohort taking the mrt from potong pasir to cityhall 9am in the morning.

I think St.Andrew's Cathedral is so beautiful.
and i simply love the College Hymn.

After that, we went for lunch and then walked around the mall
then we went to esplanade there and we sat at the pier there, the wind was so nice.
it was relaxing and i like sitting there, haha, talked and sort of slack
then i decided to go home cos i need to go get my NAFA stuffs from home.
Looyee and i decided to take the same bus, so we sat at the bus stop waiting...
and we waited and we waited....and the bus just didn't come.
So looyee went to check the bus board and we realise that both of us were waiting for a non-existant bus. haha!
anyway it was okay cos we had a looong chat (:

then met limin and joey on the bus to NAFA.
well, class was okay lah, it was kind of different today cos we did other stuffs that we don't usually do during class.
anyway, i realise that sometimes i just love ya4-ing tui3, like when i'm in the right mood and my body is feeling good, i feel so shuang3 even though it is suppose to hurt.
zls got really angry with the class halfway, kept scolding. but aiyah i'm just so used to her anger. Sometimes i don't like the way she scolds us, like as if we are primary school kids.
I think its so much better if you be strict and use reasoning and be stern, instead of shouting here and there cos seriously it doesn't do any good. Oh man, don't mind me now cos i think its just me who is unhappy.
anyway, we did across the floor ping2 zhuan4 today and it was fun,
i love ping2 zhuan4.
oh and i don't like fan1 shen1 zu3 he2, i don't know why either.

today i was really in the mood to go out with the XMCD dancers, like when i see joey and limin, i realise how much i miss them, and i'm really looking forward to go out with them on 1st August where we'll watch the NYCD concert together, and celebrate nicole's birthday. I simply love them. It feels weird cos everyone is so busy with their own life already, i just hope we'll go out more often (:

I feel like dancing again.

-------------

halfway through the week already.
and i'm not gonna receive my letter so soon,
cos hkapa say they haven't send it yet ):
oh well, waiting is not new to me anymore.

took class photo today, its for the year book haha.

anyway since there was no cca today, i went out with my mum after school.
we went to chinatown, and once i got out of the mrt,
i was totally "oh how i miss this place"
i think now i relate chinatown to Honglei dance and the dancers in Honglei and Theatre Arts Troupe.
Although the performance at the temple wasn't a huge thing, but i enjoyed the whole process.
I love the dance, love the teachers, love the dancers.


i'm only dancing three times a week now, so sad lah!


anyway, i'm quite bored now..
okay, shall post some dance videos.


This is a Dai Zu exercise and i love the music!
i love the dancer too, her abs are so nice!

Next is "Kong3 Que4 Fei1 Lai2"

I love both the dance and the music, nice! (:

I love Dai Zu Dances.

-------------

today was good.
lian4 gong1 at Dinghong laoshi's class in the morning,
and i felt that today was nice, even though my back was aching like crazy, i could still feel the momentum and motivation to keep on going one zu3 he2 after another. it was refreshing for me.
and my turns today were okay, i felt relatively stable today, aiyah but my turns are always so unpredictable, every day also got different story one haha.
The music for the Glissade Assemblé zu3 he2 was so fast and i couldn't catch up, my legs are so stupid.
i'm kinda sad that we didn't do any across the floor stuffs today, i want to do ping2 zhuan4 and da4 tiao4! and i realise that we didn't do any ti1 tui3 today too..
but oh well, the lesson went on really fast and it was really short, i wish that the class could last longer, but can't cos there is rehearsal after that.

anyway, since agnes didn't come today, i replaced her in the hua4 die2 dance
but agnes is so tall and i'm like super short, so i look even shorter standing with all the tall people,
and today laoshi went on to teach the mass couple dance part. and each couple is suppose to consist of one tall dancer and one taller dancer, so agnes is suppose to be the taller one.
but since i replaced agnes for today, its so funny cos my partner who is suppose to be shorter than me is taller than me by a lot. i was totally looking out of place lah.
then there is this part where the shorter one is suppose to run to the tall one and the tall one will have to carry her and turn on the spot.
so my partner came running to me and i was like "NO! I CAN'T CARRY YOU, WE"LL JUST FALL!!" it was so funny lah, wah i wish i was taller man...hmm on second thoughts, i'll just be shorter, cos i want people to carry me and turn hahah

i like the hua4 die3 music, it gets stuck in my head after rehearsals.

and i'm looking forward to watching"ballet under the stars" with elizabeth, jiayin and agnes haha.

i want to dance everyday, i don't want to go to a junior college.
i'm really dreading school tmr..

-------------

weekends are here!

i think today's huay kuan's class was fun
i didn't felt bored or anything,
just that my back is really really aching and it super sore now
this morning i woke up and i didn't feel like getting out of bed cos my back aches
i think its cos of yesterday haha
i didn't warm up enough then went to do that stupid wu3 zi1 thing
and now my back aches!
then during huay kuan, as usual we did a lot of yao1 stuffs
i was like trying to ren3 already haha!

anyway, it was great.
halfway through the class, me and ebird was talking to jiazhen and yongxin about lasalle and dance
know a lot more about the life in lasalle and about their plans for the future.
and they want to come to hkapa either next year or the year after next, so well, wish them all the best.
and i hope elizabeth will come next year too! (:

i think it was funny when elizabeth and i were toturing each other during the side split and "frog" pose thing. although it was hurting but still i kept laughing lah, dunno for what reason. and when i help elizabeth ya1 the frog thing, she claims that i had some ulterior motive of wanting to break her kua4 so that she can't dance, and i'm like "what?!"

huay kuan dance is like one big family and although i only know those who comes for saturday class but i feel that being in huay kuan gives you warmth. like today when i see all the boys trying to do stunts and they were all like examining each other and helping each other.
like how everyone is so passionate about chinese dance and encouraging each other cos we're going to go on a professional dance route.
like how we would all try to do other cool stunts during breaks or after class and try lots of new stuffs.
ofcourse there are times when i think that huay kuan is too draggy and i don't feel like doing anything, but i still want to go to huay kuan dance.
and zhong laoshi is more like a senior who guides us, yes he is our teacher and i think we still have a lot of respect for him, but he is really like a friend and he certainly knows how to mix well with everyone haha!
so the atmosphere in huay kuan is always relaxed and everyone will do our stuffs properly because we all want to improve. sometimes i feel very motivated when i'm in huay kuan haha (:

nafa yesterday was normal,
i think it's really weird but i think i'm starting to like yunnan hua1 deng1
not very good at it but at least i sort of got the xiao2 wan3 right.
i remember there was this particular lesson when i totally cannot get it at all, and zou laoshi was squeezing all her brain juice and trying so hard to teach me but i just cannot lor, then she was like "why cannot??" and i'm like "i don't know..just cannot!" hahaha. that was a really confusing lesson. but anyway after that lesson i got it right! she didn't say me ler yay haha, actually also must thank ebird for helping me.

but i still prefer classical chinese dance to chinese folk dance haha
i have this strong feeling that hkapa focuses more on chinese folk dance than classical
oh man, i want to learn more classical lah!
i want to learn han4 tang2 too!
the BDA girls does all the han4 tang2 dances so beautifully!

there is Dinghong laoshi's class tmr.
but i have to wait for elizabeth to finish rehearsal after that
i hope i get to help replace someone who never come in the hua4 die3 rehearsal tmr, then i can dance haha, hua4 die3 dance is nice (:
but poor Dinghong laoshi was so stressed last week when she can't remember what were the steps that she choreographed for the dance last time, she was so tired after that and she still had to rush directly to TAT for another class.

and anges can't come tmr cos she sprained her ankle,
anges please stop injuring yourself! haha
really hope you'll get well soon and come back for class!
rest well yah!

okay my back is feeling more sore now haha!

-------------

its gonna be the weekends soon,
which means dancing!

today i sent all my stuffs to hkapa already, i really do hope that good news will be coming my way, and i really pray that my letter will arrive soon.

School has been pretty boring,
lectures are more or less the same.
but at least i've friends in sajc to keep me company.
and there's suppose to be a class photo-taking tmr, but its postponed to next wednesday cos i can't make it, woops =x
got to go down to yishun to support the rhythmic gymnastics team, i hope they win something!

i want to do nothing at home and wait for my dance school to start.
i hope i'll get to do that soon
and i'm seriously broke now, i have to pay for so many things and i don't even know where to find the money.
this sun have to pay dinghong laoshi too, oh man, i'm in need of money haha!

i feel like having more dance classes!
but haiya, no money also...

anyway, GO FOR SINGAPORE'S HOKKEIN HUAY KUAN DANCE PERFORMANCE! (:
[elizabeth's blog for more details]

-------------

this week is totally da bian.

i haven't received the letter from hkapa yet!
they were e-mailing me asking me to send some more stuffs bout sajc and xms
so i had to ask mr tan for some document stuffs
and i've already sent some but mr tan can only pass me the documents on friday
so i can only send them again on friday.
the thing is, they need all the documents before they can sort of access me and see if i can go to year 2. and i was suppose to receive the offer letter this week but since now i have some weird document problems, i have to wait for who knows how long more. and i am getting so impatient!
i want the letter to come now, come now!

then there is my dad who is making me go crazy.
if you don't want to help me find a place to stay,
then fine, mummy and i will try our best, okay.

i'm totally alone in this kind of situation, there is pressure everywhere!
but i guess things will be more or less like that in hongkong alone.
no one to depend on, and even though you know you have friends,
but everyone is so busy with their own life, and there are just too many things that you have to depend on yourself.
i just need to pick things up by myself.

i feel so insecure about my place in hkapa,
i really really hope that the offer letter comes soon!

i'm really trying to stay calm and everything.
to try to think positively
to not get so impatient.
but its really difficult.
i can't concentrate on any of the lectures and tutorials
cos I"M FREAKING SCARED THAT MY LETTER WON'T COME ):

but since i've waited for 3 years, what's waiting for 2 more weeks eh?
i just need to learn to be patient.

-------------

i think by now most of you already know that i got in HKAPA.
received a call on monday in the middle of physics while they were giving out exam papers haha!

been finding a place to stay in hongkong,
hope i manage to find one soon.

well, this week was quite slacky in school haha
lectures everyday,
on wednesday i went back to XMCD
it was kind of weird for me,
cos i didn't really know all the juniors
and i felt quite out....and old hahaha
but its okay
cos i really do miss XMCD,
so i should try to go back as much as i can before i don't have a chance to eh?

told zls about HKAPA and she gave me some *arhems* advice.
but at least she didn't totally disapprove of it anymore, as long as i try to come back for the november NAFA concert, but i really have to see the situation in HKAPA before i decide.

then i don't know why, zls suddenly tell the whole troupe about it, and i was super paiseh lah..
don't know how to react also, so just smile lor haha

i haven't received the letter form HKAPA yet! i hope it comes soon.
oh man, lodging is really a big problem lah..

yesterday was college day
08A03 did balloon sculpting for the carnival
it was fun! but we burst a lot of balloons,
so it became fun-ny, haha
had a great time learning and twisting all the balloons.
then during our break, the few of us went to the haunted house, it was more funny than scary! we just left the haunted house laughing hahahah!
and i had to sell the bear-hugging-flower balloon that i wanted to keep for elizabeth for 6 times lah. and then i thought that i couldn't give ebird liao cos it was all sold out. and tada, we realise that there's one left!
so yay, met ebird after that to have lunch and passed her the balloons.
wanted to go for a walk, but i had to go back to school for the college day ceremony
but I FELT CHEATED, cos when i took the trouble to go all the way back,
the person there told the rhythmic gymnastics girls "oh, your teacher-in-charge didn't tell you that you don't have to come anymore?" and we were all like stunned hahaha
but i felt like it was a total waste of time lah.

so i ended up going to ebird's house to watch tv and slack around before going for NAFA.
wah, i'm abit scared to go her house liao cos her mum is kind of scaring me..i hope they aren't angry with me about the HKAPA thing lah..
took a looooong bus ride to bugis, ended up being late for nafa =x
but hey i wasn't the latest haha.
two new students in our class, both from RJC, and one of them recongnised me lah, cos i went for RJC's open house last year and i left my name at the chinese dance booth and that girl was the one who was at the booth haha. small world eh?

and we are going to have some sort of NAFA class outing to watch NYCD dance night at esplanade. hahahha, which means no class on that day cos we were suppose to have class, but zls is gonna give us a make-up lesson lah, so its fine (:

and da bian, i need to buck up on my technique liao, if not i'll just die in HKAPA
have been slacking too much, so must train more!

somehow i realise that, now when i look at things, i have this feeling that i should look more and do more things in Singapore now cos when i don't have a chance to do so, i'll really miss it. So now, i wanna spend more time with people, do more things in Singapore, have all the fun that i can have.

great man, i think of the tests and PW thats happening next week, i'm super sianned,
especially when it doesn't concern me anymore, but cos i haven't receive the confirmation letter from HKAPA, i still have to go to school...and go for tests....and do PW....argh..but i shall try and enjoy it, cos it my last few weeks in SAJC already. spend more time with friends! (:

and thanks everyone for the encouragement this week
its been a roller coaster ride!

-------------

i'm leaving tmr morning and i haven't packed yet.
haha a really bad habit of mine, always doing last minute packing
i shall do it later while watching "guess guess guess" haha

today i was super early for huay kuan haha! yay.
i was the first girl there, when i went in, zhong laoshi and zuyou were watching some dance cum singing show.
HAHA ZINA TAN I"M STILL EARLIER THAN YOU.
class was funny, huay kuan people are nice people to be around with! haha
but my left pelvis is hurting, not aching but hurting, which is quite bad cos every develope i do its pain. i also don't know what is it, its like internal pain. i really hope that it will recover soon..
we finally did ti1 tui3 today, and when we were going the pian4 tui3 thing my left pelvis was going "cluck" every time i do one and it kind of hurts sometimes, whats wrong man..

after class went for elizabeth's church BBQ, it was quite okay haha, food was nice and we played this game called "1,2,3, jump" chatted, ate and then went home haha!

I still can't acept the fact that i'll be missing Dinghong laoshi's class and "ballet under the stars" tmr, I WANT TO GO FOR CLASS AND CONCERT!!!

i hope i don't have to go to school next friday.

today was good.
lian4 gong1 at Dinghong laoshi's class in the morning,
and i felt that today was nice, even though my back was aching like crazy, i could still feel the momentum and motivation to keep on going one zu3 he2 after another. it was refreshing for me.
and my turns today were okay, i felt relatively stable today, aiyah but my turns are always so unpredictable, every day also got different story one haha.
The music for the Glissade Assemblé zu3 he2 was so fast and i couldn't catch up, my legs are so stupid.
i'm kinda sad that we didn't do any across the floor stuffs today, i want to do ping2 zhuan4 and da4 tiao4! and i realise that we didn't do any ti1 tui3 today too..
but oh well, the lesson went on really fast and it was really short, i wish that the class could last longer, but can't cos there is rehearsal after that.

anyway, since agnes didn't come today, i replaced her in the hua4 die2 dance
but agnes is so tall and i'm like super short, so i look even shorter standing with all the tall people,
and today laoshi went on to teach the mass couple dance part. and each couple is suppose to consist of one tall dancer and one taller dancer, so agnes is suppose to be the taller one.
but since i replaced agnes for today, its so funny cos my partner who is suppose to be shorter than me is taller than me by a lot. i was totally looking out of place lah.
then there is this part where the shorter one is suppose to run to the tall one and the tall one will have to carry her and turn on the spot.
so my partner came running to me and i was like "NO! I CAN'T CARRY YOU, WE"LL JUST FALL!!" it was so funny lah, wah i wish i was taller man...hmm on second thoughts, i'll just be shorter, cos i want people to carry me and turn hahah

i like the hua4 die3 music, it gets stuck in my head after rehearsals.

and i'm looking forward to watching"ballet under the stars" with elizabeth, jiayin and agnes haha.

i want to dance everyday, i don't want to go to a junior college.
i'm really dreading school tmr..
-------------

weekends are here!

i think today's huay kuan's class was fun
i didn't felt bored or anything,
just that my back is really really aching and it super sore now
this morning i woke up and i didn't feel like getting out of bed cos my back aches
i think its cos of yesterday haha
i didn't warm up enough then went to do that stupid wu3 zi1 thing
and now my back aches!
then during huay kuan, as usual we did a lot of yao1 stuffs
i was like trying to ren3 already haha!

anyway, it was great.
halfway through the class, me and ebird was talking to jiazhen and yongxin about lasalle and dance
know a lot more about the life in lasalle and about their plans for the future.
and they want to come to hkapa either next year or the year after next, so well, wish them all the best.
and i hope elizabeth will come next year too! (:

i think it was funny when elizabeth and i were toturing each other during the side split and "frog" pose thing. although it was hurting but still i kept laughing lah, dunno for what reason. and when i help elizabeth ya1 the frog thing, she claims that i had some ulterior motive of wanting to break her kua4 so that she can't dance, and i'm like "what?!"

huay kuan dance is like one big family and although i only know those who comes for saturday class but i feel that being in huay kuan gives you warmth. like today when i see all the boys trying to do stunts and they were all like examining each other and helping each other.
like how everyone is so passionate about chinese dance and encouraging each other cos we're going to go on a professional dance route.
like how we would all try to do other cool stunts during breaks or after class and try lots of new stuffs.
ofcourse there are times when i think that huay kuan is too draggy and i don't feel like doing anything, but i still want to go to huay kuan dance.
and zhong laoshi is more like a senior who guides us, yes he is our teacher and i think we still have a lot of respect for him, but he is really like a friend and he certainly knows how to mix well with everyone haha!
so the atmosphere in huay kuan is always relaxed and everyone will do our stuffs properly because we all want to improve. sometimes i feel very motivated when i'm in huay kuan haha (:

nafa yesterday was normal,
i think it's really weird but i think i'm starting to like yunnan hua1 deng1
not very good at it but at least i sort of got the xiao2 wan3 right.
i remember there was this particular lesson when i totally cannot get it at all, and zou laoshi was squeezing all her brain juice and trying so hard to teach me but i just cannot lor, then she was like "why cannot??" and i'm like "i don't know..just cannot!" hahaha. that was a really confusing lesson. but anyway after that lesson i got it right! she didn't say me ler yay haha, actually also must thank ebird for helping me.

but i still prefer classical chinese dance to chinese folk dance haha
i have this strong feeling that hkapa focuses more on chinese folk dance than classical
oh man, i want to learn more classical lah!
i want to learn han4 tang2 too!
the BDA girls does all the han4 tang2 dances so beautifully!

there is Dinghong laoshi's class tmr.
but i have to wait for elizabeth to finish rehearsal after that
i hope i get to help replace someone who never come in the hua4 die3 rehearsal tmr, then i can dance haha, hua4 die3 dance is nice (:
but poor Dinghong laoshi was so stressed last week when she can't remember what were the steps that she choreographed for the dance last time, she was so tired after that and she still had to rush directly to TAT for another class.

and anges can't come tmr cos she sprained her ankle,
anges please stop injuring yourself! haha
really hope you'll get well soon and come back for class!
rest well yah!

okay my back is feeling more sore now haha!
-------------

its gonna be the weekends soon,
which means dancing!

today i sent all my stuffs to hkapa already, i really do hope that good news will be coming my way, and i really pray that my letter will arrive soon.

School has been pretty boring,
lectures are more or less the same.
but at least i've friends in sajc to keep me company.
and there's suppose to be a class photo-taking tmr, but its postponed to next wednesday cos i can't make it, woops =x
got to go down to yishun to support the rhythmic gymnastics team, i hope they win something!

i want to do nothing at home and wait for my dance school to start.
i hope i'll get to do that soon
and i'm seriously broke now, i have to pay for so many things and i don't even know where to find the money.
this sun have to pay dinghong laoshi too, oh man, i'm in need of money haha!

i feel like having more dance classes!
but haiya, no money also...

anyway, GO FOR SINGAPORE'S HOKKEIN HUAY KUAN DANCE PERFORMANCE! (:
[elizabeth's blog for more details]
-------------

this week is totally da bian.

i haven't received the letter from hkapa yet!
they were e-mailing me asking me to send some more stuffs bout sajc and xms
so i had to ask mr tan for some document stuffs
and i've already sent some but mr tan can only pass me the documents on friday
so i can only send them again on friday.
the thing is, they need all the documents before they can sort of access me and see if i can go to year 2. and i was suppose to receive the offer letter this week but since now i have some weird document problems, i have to wait for who knows how long more. and i am getting so impatient!
i want the letter to come now, come now!

then there is my dad who is making me go crazy.
if you don't want to help me find a place to stay,
then fine, mummy and i will try our best, okay.

i'm totally alone in this kind of situation, there is pressure everywhere!
but i guess things will be more or less like that in hongkong alone.
no one to depend on, and even though you know you have friends,
but everyone is so busy with their own life, and there are just too many things that you have to depend on yourself.
i just need to pick things up by myself.

i feel so insecure about my place in hkapa,
i really really hope that the offer letter comes soon!

i'm really trying to stay calm and everything.
to try to think positively
to not get so impatient.
but its really difficult.
i can't concentrate on any of the lectures and tutorials
cos I"M FREAKING SCARED THAT MY LETTER WON'T COME ):

but since i've waited for 3 years, what's waiting for 2 more weeks eh?
i just need to learn to be patient.
-------------

i think by now most of you already know that i got in HKAPA.
received a call on monday in the middle of physics while they were giving out exam papers haha!

been finding a place to stay in hongkong,
hope i manage to find one soon.

well, this week was quite slacky in school haha
lectures everyday,
on wednesday i went back to XMCD
it was kind of weird for me,
cos i didn't really know all the juniors
and i felt quite out....and old hahaha
but its okay
cos i really do miss XMCD,
so i should try to go back as much as i can before i don't have a chance to eh?

told zls about HKAPA and she gave me some *arhems* advice.
but at least she didn't totally disapprove of it anymore, as long as i try to come back for the november NAFA concert, but i really have to see the situation in HKAPA before i decide.

then i don't know why, zls suddenly tell the whole troupe about it, and i was super paiseh lah..
don't know how to react also, so just smile lor haha

i haven't received the letter form HKAPA yet! i hope it comes soon.
oh man, lodging is really a big problem lah..

yesterday was college day
08A03 did balloon sculpting for the carnival
it was fun! but we burst a lot of balloons,
so it became fun-ny, haha
had a great time learning and twisting all the balloons.
then during our break, the few of us went to the haunted house, it was more funny than scary! we just left the haunted house laughing hahahah!
and i had to sell the bear-hugging-flower balloon that i wanted to keep for elizabeth for 6 times lah. and then i thought that i couldn't give ebird liao cos it was all sold out. and tada, we realise that there's one left!
so yay, met ebird after that to have lunch and passed her the balloons.
wanted to go for a walk, but i had to go back to school for the college day ceremony
but I FELT CHEATED, cos when i took the trouble to go all the way back,
the person there told the rhythmic gymnastics girls "oh, your teacher-in-charge didn't tell you that you don't have to come anymore?" and we were all like stunned hahaha
but i felt like it was a total waste of time lah.

so i ended up going to ebird's house to watch tv and slack around before going for NAFA.
wah, i'm abit scared to go her house liao cos her mum is kind of scaring me..i hope they aren't angry with me about the HKAPA thing lah..
took a looooong bus ride to bugis, ended up being late for nafa =x
but hey i wasn't the latest haha.
two new students in our class, both from RJC, and one of them recongnised me lah, cos i went for RJC's open house last year and i left my name at the chinese dance booth and that girl was the one who was at the booth haha. small world eh?

and we are going to have some sort of NAFA class outing to watch NYCD dance night at esplanade. hahahha, which means no class on that day cos we were suppose to have class, but zls is gonna give us a make-up lesson lah, so its fine (:

and da bian, i need to buck up on my technique liao, if not i'll just die in HKAPA
have been slacking too much, so must train more!

somehow i realise that, now when i look at things, i have this feeling that i should look more and do more things in Singapore now cos when i don't have a chance to do so, i'll really miss it. So now, i wanna spend more time with people, do more things in Singapore, have all the fun that i can have.

great man, i think of the tests and PW thats happening next week, i'm super sianned,
especially when it doesn't concern me anymore, but cos i haven't receive the confirmation letter from HKAPA, i still have to go to school...and go for tests....and do PW....argh..but i shall try and enjoy it, cos it my last few weeks in SAJC already. spend more time with friends! (:

and thanks everyone for the encouragement this week
its been a roller coaster ride!
