went to school today for rehearsal
had quite a nice time
i kinda can't remember all the steps so fast, but its okay cos its fun!
and i'm sure i'll be fine with a little bit more practise and partnering
its fun playing with the chairs and all the exagerated musical thingy..

later on some of them went to join the GYDP contemp class, but some of us felt quite odd cos we weren't exactly allowed to join.
so some of us just sat outside the dance room and talk. for a really long time.
and i felt nice cos we've been able to share so many things with each other.
then after the contemp class, everyone of us decided to join the African dance class.
it was fun! and weird for me, but who cares, its just something different.
and i think i look stupid sometimes, which really makes me laugh lah
haha but there is always a first time (:

then we just slack at the usual place at the bridge.
and we had quite a lot of heart to heart talk, it was nice
i think i must really work harder here, cannot slack too much! (:

met Zixin later on with jensen at Zixin's hotel
talked about staying together and everything, but i don't know also lah..very complicated
anyway nice to meet her, so there is another malaysian in HKAPA liao
welcome to the family!!

i wonder when will another Singaporean come to HKAPA
i'm like the only Singaporean here
lets hope another one comes next year (which technically is this year) :D

i still haven't got the white shirt for the choreographic showing on monday.
but where to get leh?

Dimsum tmr before watching the guy's performance!

tmr is the last day of musical theatre dance.
i'm gonna make sure i enjoy it, no matter how tired or slacky i feel in the morning.
and i hope that we'll do the "dance at the gym" well
must go all out all the way!!! yea!

rep audition tmr.
i don't even know what we are expected to do..

today during chorus,
we sang really nice songs!
and we kept repeating them until my voice wanna die.
but it was fun.

when the teacher came into the class in the morning, he was holding an orange on his hand and we were like staring cos he kept holding on to the orange throughout the lesson.
he also dun wanna tell us what he want to do..
then when we were allowed to sleep, he off the lights and we were like all lying on the floor..
then a few minutes later, we all smelt orange, like the whole dance room was filled with the orange scent lah. and everyone just burst out laughing lor! cos the teacher was like eating the orange! omg lah..so weird, and we kept asking him to give us one piece but he refused to.
and when we woke up(actually we didn't sleep cos it was just bout 5 mins and we were busy laughing at the orange) there were lots of chocolates on the piano, and everyone just ran and snatch the chocolates hahahha, so funny lah. but yaye thanks to him for the yummy chocolates (:

during acting today, we finished the "luck be a lady" song.
yaye left the grease's " we stay together" thing
and i hope we'll have time to finish it next week.

and i'm happy today cos i got to eat my bringal! and yesterday got ku lu yok
been waiting for so long and the canteen finally cooked it hahaha.
shyt i'm eating too much lah.

and i'm so envious of Singapore's 24-30 degrees weather lah

bout one more week to go back.

next week ballet will replace musical theatre dance.
i'm gonna die in that 2 hours lah.
ahhhhh. why can't they put like chinese dance instead of ballet??

i can't wait for summer holidays.
which is like 5 months later.

the start of the second week of winter term.

time is passing too slowly right now.

haha and yesterday we were supposed to go ice skating together,
but we ended up watching a movie cos we were tempted by the cinema that is just right beside the skating ring.
but its okay, i'm sure we'll have other chances to ice skate together.

i must be crazy, i'm freezing to death here and yet i wanna go ice skating haha.

i think i like cold weather for a few days, like for a holiday.
but i hate it if i have to live my life here like this, for months in this freezing winter period.
argh i miss Singapore's weather.
i miss the Sun
miss wearing shorts and t-shirt out.

hate to be wrapped with so many layers of clothings or huge jackets.

and today during jazz i hurt my toe again, it was so painful and now its abit bruised.
i hope it'll get well soon cos i can't walk properly without feeling painful.


oh i just remembered that today during acting,
we played some gambling thing hahha, it was fun!
cos we are doing a scene from "Guys and Dolls" for acting class and its a musical about gambling and stuff like that.
so we got to play those olden days gambling stuffs that you play at the gambling den. ahha super vintage but it was fun!
with all the papaer money and all.
just to get the feel of how we should act in the scene.
but everyone was like screaming and trying to win as much money as possible.
well i gained profit! but 50 bucks only..
a lot of other people made more money, but there are also a lot of people who were left with zero dollars hahaha.
fun game.

slacked in school afterwards..as usual.
its kinda funny how we have so much time left after school cos we are ending too early, only 4.45pm leh

oh and there are repertory auditions on friday.
i'm so dead, i know i have to face a million auditions like these for my whole life
but i don't exactly quite love them...

i don't know why
but ever since i've been back home for christmas
i feel like i want to stay in Singapore forever


i really miss home so much.


and its so weird.


i remember the few days before i went back to Singapore, which is the last few days of semester one in APA,
i was kind of reluctant to go back because i was so happy being in APA, being with my classmates and just feeling the warmth of my friends in Hongkong. The last few days were the funnest days i've had with my class and teachers.
and i thought, i'll always be happy, both in Singapore and Hongkong.


but then i went back to Singapore,
and this time when i come back to Hongkong, my heart still seems to stay in Singapore.


and i don't know why i'm feeling this way.


yea i know i still love my class and i'm still having a lot of fun with everyone,
in class, after class, and outside of school.
i think i'm really lucky to be able to meet friends like them.


but i don't know.
i think of Singapore everyday, i think of my home, i think of my family, my friends.
and sometimes being alone here isn't really that easy for me.


argh its just another one of those emo days,
and no i don't want to live my life like that.


i don't know why its so difficult for me this time,
and i'm just counting down to the day that i'll be back for chinese new year.


which totally sucks cos i told myself that i won't want to be someone who keeps thinking of going back when i was the one in the first place who made the decision to come to hongkong, to come to HKAPA.


i really wish ebird was with me in APA, it'll really make me feel better.
not anything within my control, but i'll pray for her.
and i really hope that its meant to be.


hah but don't worry,
i don't regret coming to APA at all.


it just one of those days that i really miss home.

i can't believe i actually stop blogging..when i used to blog every single day back then.

well its winter term now
and there are no technique classes in APA for us
we are doing musical this term!
so there is musical theatre dance in the morning (which kinda kills)
then chorus after that
and acting to end the day.

and our class is working on doing something from the "westside story"
haha i'm kind of looking forward to doing something like this..especially with my class

my left thigh is aching like crazy cos of the duet thing that we learn today but ahh i'll get over it soon.


the weather is getting cold here, haha i'm glad i'm going back to Singapore for chinese new year, which is supposedly the coldest period here.
i miss Singapore, and although i've been back for christmas, it doesn't feel like i've been back.
i miss my bed so much and my home.
hahha partly because half of my holidays were spent in Malaysia and i only had one week in Singapore, but better than nothing i guess.

and i ate my you4 mian4 gan1 at the xinmin coffee shop! yaye.


okay but actually i miss home cooked food the most.


the next time i go back, i wanna spend more time at home and not go out so much, cos i really miss being at home.
haha easier said than done.


soooo..........
for musical theatre dance we are basically doing jazz
and on the first day, i was like dying from the sit-ups..i'm so weak lah omg.
haha but the combinations and everything that we've learnt are quite fun.
and working together with everyone to produce something is something that i really like to do, who knows after winter term i'll miss doing this with my class, so i should really cherish everything now.


and for chorus, we are basically learning songs..haha its a first time for me in a chorus class so everything is kinda new for me, but the singing is enjoyable so i'm fine (:


acting is fun with lots of games, more like a playing class to me haha.
but there's lots to learn from those games too.
oh and my teacher went to Singapore to study for two years to study at the United World College, so its so cool that she knows Singapore.

have been ending early everyday, around 4.45pm
the earliest since i'm come to APA, cos usually there are electives until 7pm and i'll be so tired by then.
but the schedule now is fine, i don't feel tired or whatever, maybe just a little bit or aches here and there.

and i'm still so uncertain about what electives i wanna take next semester.

i hope Elizabeth comes and audition soon.
