D-Day: OP day

Omg, my last post was in August ._. Oops ahaha sorry, I was too lazy and busy (standard excuses). But seriously though, finally got the time to sit down and type after Final Exams and PW ended :{ Okay I shall get to the main point of this post hahha.

Woke up feeling nervous and the first thing I mumbled to myself upon opening my eyes was "alternative confidant" (that's part of a line in my script and I couldn't pronounce 'confidant' properly :c I still can't believe that it's pronounced as CON FEE DANT so weird :c ). Then I went to wash up, had breakfast etc, reached school and shit because I had coffee (and i think that's TMI but let's move on). Everyone gathered in the LT, orderly collected our name tags and moved off to our venues respectively. Up till there I was feeling jittery and slightly worried about forgetting my lines but overall still coping relatively well. 

That didn't last though. When the first group begin presenting, I started getting really, really, really nervous. And that was bad, it made me forget my lines causing me to panic even more. I was legit just at the corner having an internal panic attack (if that made sense). Deep breathing and smiling actually helped me to calm down like legit. And thank god that we're not the last group to present if not I'll prolly just gonna die from nervousness.

Finally it's our turn. We were supposed to do a short skit to kick start our presentation but apparently we haven't start yet but I went ahead and then I realised we haven't start. I had to laugh at myself which calmed my nerves kind of haha. My turn came and went quickly actually now that I realised, and I forgot a few lines but fortunately I didn't freeze there phew. I kind of feel glad that I'm in charge of Ami because the teachers and the audience found the bear really cute haha. Oh and it 's really comforting when the student audience nods to what the speaker is saying, it kind of helps the speaker calm down (aka me). Thanks to the S01 girl!!! ^_^

For Q&A, I'm really damn heng ah because the question that was posed to me was something that we had thought of and crafted an answer for. Hopefully, I answered it well. :/ OHYA I WAS ANNOYED THAT THE TEACHER PRONOUNCED AMI TO AMY HMPHH

What was left was just to listen to the last group present and we could leaveeeeeee. I kind of really liked the third's group's third strategy actually!! I hope it'll be implemented in real life actually haha. During their Q&A, a really difficult question was asked to one of the guys and all of us are literally "wts what kind of question is that?? Good luck bruh". But imo, the guy answered really well so good for him!!! :DD 

WEEEEE OP is finally over!!! But we didn't actually feel much la haha we just went to the typical-background-that-looks-nice-on-insta wall to take some group pictures. I suggested doing a video showing us tearing our name tags off our shirts and Jed failed so damn badly I cannot HAHAHA first time seeing someone tearing off name tag also can fail XDD 

To SA088: 

From the very beginning when we got to know the members of this group, I already expected that we won't become close and have those long-ass dedi post on insta like our seniors. And I was right haha, We didn't have the smoothest journey and we only started getting our shit together 1 week before WR, cramming and OT-ing to compile stuff into WR. That is the first time I actually see us working hard for PW lmao haha. I'm still really surprised at how we could increase a WR that has only 20+ pages of only words to one that has 80 pages with shit loads of pictures (with substantial words) in just a week haha. Good job to us during that period!! Also really glad that we decided to do the booth and although both CK and I had to spend long long hours on that shit, it turned out quite decent and I really hoped that it impressed the teachers!! Overall thanks for the experience!! 

To Mer:

Thank god there's you in the group man. You really did a lot for the group: video-making, compiling stuff, allocating roles, shopping for supplies for the booth and finding that awesome lamp etc. You're the real MVP :)) 

Now, we're just left with I&R final and GPF and we're officially done with this shit. (Please don't pick us for the re-presentation for filming omg I don't want to go through all that again). Let's pray for at least a B grade? hahaha 

So yeap, that's the end of the PW part of the day. Next post I'll be talking about post-OP celebration :>> 

The Jubilee Year; Singapore's 50th

First of all, happy birthday SG!

Kick start the day with a morning jog and i was pleasantly surprised to see that there was quite a number of people exercising and most were the elderly :oo I greatly respect them for bothering to stay healthy and fit even in their senior years wooo.

Just finished watching PM LHL's speech about his father, SG and Singaporeans. Indeed, SG has came a long way, as they typically say, from the kampong to the prosperous city it is now. As much as i have a lot to complain about SG on a daily basis, recently i began to be more appreciative of what SG has offered its citizens: a relatively clean and safe country, prosperous and increasingly well-known globally (thats why I'm able to go for BB concert ♡), a quite religiously and racially harmonious society and fair education and employment opportunities (I believe so??). Sometimes I'm very glad to be born in SG 'cause of all this.

I'm pretty sad that Mr LKY is unable to witness the 50th year of SG that he so carefully and painstakingly built up. I don't know how his policies might have caused some of the seniors to suffer but from what I'm seeing (from a humble perspective of mine), I really think that he really had worked hard for SG.

Still remembered the time I went to queue the entire night and going nearly a day without sleep to pay respects to him. (Wanted to blog about it that time but never got to it LOL) Seeing most Singaporeans being caring towards one another and persevering to pay respects to Mr LKY was really heartwarming. Also, those who braved the rain to see his last journey were really admirable. Anyways, when I finally got in to see him, I felt a surge of sadness for that few seconds as I bowed down. Really regret not bowing longer 'cause I really obediently followed their instructions lol...

Sigh, if only he could get to witness the 50th year :( This year's NDP is gonna be really epic. Sian and I have to spend today doing pw -_- ahhhh okok I've spent enough time resting, need to go study liao. Byeee.

Gabby's bday celebration!!!

So yesterday after dance, I had to attend Gabby's surprise bday party!! Joshua, Trevor and I went to have lunch at the kopitiam before the mrt station. omg we were starving??? 

(BUT SIAN I PLACED MY WALLET ON THE TRAY BUT THE TRAY WAS OILY AND MY WALLET WAS OILY EEWWW) 

We then took the train to Serangoon and while Joshua and I were deciding on where we ( or I) should go, Trevor went home first. I decided to just go NEX with Joshua first while he waits for his friend to reach NEX. We went to change first cuz I was literally sweating buckets during dance. 

(the dance studio was under repair so we had to dance outside the GO which was super duper hot T.T) 

We went to the food court to study for a while before I left to meet my other OG mates at Braddell at 3pm. I was late for like 7mins cuz I underestimated the time to get there :x But I only saw Kaiming but no Isaac who claimed he reached. Yall know what? He alighted at Bishan and thought that was Braddell XDD the joke of the day hahha fmll. 

KM then brought us to the condo to meet up with Shalyn. We had to wait till 3.45pm then we could go into the function room. Initially the room was hot af then it got cold af wts ;____; We kind of decorated the place up then studied while waiting for the rest to come. Everyone else = Gabby's pri sch mates, sec sch mates, pw mates, classmates and hweeling and gabby himself. 

When Gabby finally came, he was blindfolded and we led him to the poolside. We were like at a loss of what to do cuz we didn't really planned this out so Gwong just went out and pushed Gabby into the pool XDD hahaah happy birthday :bbb  Finally it's time to eat. Shalyn ordered pizza (14boxes omg but they're the 6 slices kind la but since we're feeding a huge number of guys ya ) and y'know what, at the party there were only 3 of us girls with a whole lot of guys ..... kind of awkward but nvm we just kind of stuck to our own group of friends. Ohya Constanza came to the party too!! ^^ 

 Then comes the cake part!! Sang the song for him, cut the cake blablabla. The cake was nicee but I felt really fat that night cuz I ate 3 slices of pizza and then 1 slice of choc cake (rmb I had a really filling lunch on Sunday if you read the previous blog post) We just chilled there while I wait for my phone to finish downloading the update. IT STARTED FROM 4PM TILL 9.30 PM SIA SIAN BUT YAY OMG I FINALLY GOT MY LOLLIPOP VERS HEHE DAMN HAPPYYY 

Before we left we took solo shots with Gabby and at that time I guess the bees/hornets decided it's their time to party lol there was a lot of them on the floor ;__; We quickly fled the place (no la not just cuz of the bees, it was kind of late ler and I was scared I will miss the last bus) Took the mrt with Alan, Gwong and Joshua back home and ahha Joshua and Gwong stayed at the same area XDD 

Some of OG31 !!!

Glutton Gabby HAHA jkjk

Free ad for Canadian pizza?

With da bday boy!!

It was quite an enjoyable party I guess and Shalyn good job in planning everything and inviting Gabby's friends and having to fork out from her own pocket for everything else :// She did a lot for Gabby and I hope everything will be smooth sailing for them ^^ 

Also, I was pretty happy that I was able to chat more with Joshua? I'm the kind that's easily contented when I get to chat more with my new friends/classmates etc so ya haha. Sometimes we click like yesterday but sometimes we don't talk? haha oops hopefully we can talk more andandand I hope I'll be able to get along well with the rest of the dancers for the rest of our time together in the club ^_^ 

OKAY OMG IM SUPPOSED TO STUDY AND I SPENT LIKE AN HOUR PLUS PLUS TYPING 3 POSTS OUT LOL hope yall enjoyed reading (if anyone is reading) okok byeee

Sunday

Suddenly felt like blogging so here I am hahah

DANCE WOO

So on Saturday, the buiz minus del had a kind of impromptu outing to attend Studio Wu's open house free dance classes!! I was supposed to go jog with nik la but it was soooo tempting cuz it's a rare chance soo I had to cancel the jog :b On that morning I met with ster at mac to study for awhile before meeting with pua. But guess who overslept -_____- thanks to burden pua pfft hhah we made like 20+ calls to her and she was still sleeping like a log XD ohwell heng she woke up tho she was late but never mind. Wasted quite some time and got there behind schedule. 

We went to Bugis Cube to register ourselves for the classes first before we went back to Bugis Junction to eat. Pua's friend reached at that time so she had to bring her to register while ster and I went to buy bread from Four Leaves for lunch since dance was gonna start in like 40mins. There was actually quite a number of people who came for the classes and it was like an eye-opening experience for me I feel. The 3 of us buiz, and 2 of pua's friends joined 2 classes together.

Our 1st class was Girls' Style.

We did some simple warmups and moves that we will be using in the dance. We learnt the 30secs choreo in an hour which also included us taking turns in groups dancing the choreo. It was really fast when the music played and my mind just blanked out when it started. I don't know how but it's just like I just relied on my body to do the dance cuz my mind was totally blank like I wasn't really thinking of what the next step was O-O it was really really fun tho!!! ANDAND THE INSTRUCTOR TEACHING US WAS LIKE WOAH SWAG MUCH LIKE REALLY WOO 

Our 2nd class was Street Jazz.

The first thing I noticed was the instructor's colourful hair O.O it's pretty nice and wow she could pull it off haha. Similarly, we did light warmups (but we were already v warmed from the prev session hahaa cuz the classes were one after another) and some moves that we used in the dance. When she taught the choreo I felt kind of out of place? Like I was thinking... hmm I think I don't suit jazz style. But as we learnt it got better la not so awkward feeling. There were some moves that reminded me of the jazz workshop during dance camp last year (omg i miss those times). Also we got to dance in groups and it was abit paiseh for me but at the same time got that adrenaline rush super shiok!!! Pua's seniors took video of this dance (video is on my instagram but...I realise it's private so :bb) And this class there was some guys dancing also and wowww in my group there was this guy in black shirt and orange sleeves who danced with great sass O-O like really!! Got another guy in black shirt in pua's group wah he quite cute siaa :bb plus dance not bad la hehe

Overall, I felt like it was a really good experience for me ah cuz I don't really get a chance to do this type of dance genre so ya I'm really glad that I went and thanks a lot to pua for the jio :* it was somehow a good gathering with them too hehe love them 

waiting for burden pua

ended the session~~

Gratitude and other random shit

On the bus ride home just now, when my dance mate was saying that i should've joined Swiss cottage cuz their dance is v good. And i immediately thought: no. I do not regret coming into Kranji at all as I realised i came to love Kranji alot for all that it has given me over the past 4 years - friends (for life or just that period of time), the memories, the caring teachers etc. Ignoring the poor facilities and the principal, Kranji has been really awesome. ESP KMDC♡ I can't express how grateful i am to have such a caring and awesome instructor (mr peter) and my dance mates (esp piggies/buibuis). The dance journey has been greatly wonderful :(( i could still rmb how i cried a waterfall when Reverie ended 😭😭😭

"i need to rush off but i need my sec4s"  ♡♡

this touched my heart to no ends man 😭 mr peter might not rmb that he said this but i know i will rmb for a long time :')

Time really waits for no man. I cant believe that im alrdy in JC1 and its almost halfway into the year?!?!? I've been wondering if coming to JC was the right choice... it has been so tiring and honestly I've never really understood how or what im learning now will benefit me in my future career?! Except econs and language skills la :// Poly life ain't easy as well but i personally preferred to go to work early as compared to studying more... if only i knew what i want to do in the future -_- if only...

Up till now im still trying to fit into the class. Ofc its partially my fault since i hardly go play with them and i keep studying during the breaks :/ what to do, i have to make use of the time mah.... now they seem to segregate away from us 3 otl..... on the bright side at least i got Mer and Sarah :)) hopefully somewhere down the road the r/s will get better?!?!?

And compared to my class, my dance mates are all so damn friendly??? Im having a much better feeling towards my cca mates than my classmates. Ohwell.
