i finally get a day off to myself and so i happily wake at 12pm. haha

before i plunge headfirst into the mound of readings and work that has been accumulating, i shall update photos!

bought a groupon and went to tastings rooms with altron for lunch (:
i do love trying new places to eat. (:

bruschetta with tomato and mozzarella gratin


mushroom soup with truffle oil. it was seriously very very good!!!



the serve a little soup in a huge white plate. i was pretty convinced it's used to intimidate ppl on dates, cos they would be paranoid if they dripped soup on the corners of the white round rim.



i think i only ate the chicken and about 10 strands of noodles. too full.


earl grey creme brulee and banana cake (:



altron and truffle fries (:

went to salsa social yesterday with some of the viva people (:

during the performance, summer and i were swooning over the hot guys who all have nice muscles and relatively broad shoulders.


but we couldnt social much, so after a bit, some of them went to eat tau huay, some went home.

so eldon and i decided to go to Le Danz, cos there was a latin social that night.


the cover charge is really not very cheap, it's $38 per head inclusive of 2 drinks.
eldon treated me though.



anyway, i digress a little:
in fact, i think i am a super super pampered girlfriend. he practically does everything for me.

like after trainings, he will come round to shower at my hostel before heading home. and he will boil water for me, clear my rubbish, sometimes even mop the floor for me (actually, he also bought the mop for me)

he stocks up my food supply in hall for me to the max. i always have food and cereals and drinks etc now.

okay, listing things like that out make me feel a bit too spoilt :/

cos the only nice thing i did was to wash his dance pants for him and blowdry it.

i will do my own house keeping later :/

where did i find a boy like that? <3



ok, anyway, we were quite pleasantly surprised that due to an external party that day, Le Danz was completely empty :D

means we could choose our music, have the whole place to prac and have like 4 people waiting on the two of us. haha

and it was really a nice and big floor! (:

so we trained for a bit, and unfortunately i had like 3 cocktails, and i got a little tipsy cos im bad with alcohol. and i couldnt spin properly anymore, so i was super off balance and couldnt train properly. haha

but anyway, it was real fun (:



lovelove!

This is when these little things start. ❤

Tossed in the raging tempest
My heart, fragile as glass, unyielding as steel
Emotions fly with the wind


Little sighs
Too tired to try.

This is when these little things start.
Goodnight sweetheart.

Judging someone does not reveal who they are, it reveals what you are.


i really like that quote! i think it's really true.


i'm almost done with reading my proverbs, and i think it's really nice that all these supposedly laws and rules are actually really all for our benefit, and to keep us out of trouble.

and i started on my names of God book today as well.

today i learnt about Elohim: God the creator.


actually, thinking about it, it's really cool that God creates. that's unique to God, because no one else can create something from nothing.

God is not constrained by anything. how wonderful is that.

(: i love Him (:

and the best thing is He loved me first!

eldon played for cell prayer meeting (: awesome boy (:



dinner at ricciotti because it was eldon's birthdayyy (: i loved the pasta! and the super yummy wedges!!


drinks afterwards at clarke quay (:


i made him a card which i was rather proud of (: i was a little enthusiastic about the ribboning though


presents i bought my boy


cake (:









dinner with the gymmers (: nice catch up session with them too!


i took a pic of this cos i think the star shaped egg is super cute



eldon n i bought 2 pints of ice cream to gobble! <3 it was super yummy (: i love doing simple silly things like that with him (: it makes me happy

dinner at over time (:

was supposed to have mexican with eldon today, but the queue was way toooo long!

So we ended up at a nice pub called over time.



iphone is a distracting technology :/ he keeps playing with his forex stuff and not talk to me. hahah


he doesn't drink. but i wanted a bit :D


i think he looks cute here (:


okay, he doesn't like it at all. notice he already switched drinks cos cosmo has a stronger alcoholic taste.


i think timbre has a better cocktail.


he's finished! (: he actually was wincing and all after finishing it, but i made him smile and pose haha










this is seriously a good spring roll. eldon gave me 3 out of 4 of the springrolls on the plate cos i liked them (: such a sweetheart (:



lovelove!!!

comps are really tiring to the max.

and both of us are injured. He's injured his arm and toe, and i've sprained a finger, overstretched one leg and have a pain in my butt (literally)

i need a minor surgery to remove the growth there.

i was really unlucky cos someone hit me by accident and hit my injured spot. so now it's even more inflamed and painful. :/

but it's okay, i loved dancing with eldon, and he takes such good care of me all the time. (:


eldon sweated so muchhh that his number tag kept crumbling, until the last part where we borrowed someone's plastic bag. lol



all thanks to him <3

okay, i am seriously nervous.

alice sent me the program line up, plus all the rules etc.

and my stomach started churning and butterflies were flying everywhere. my hands are cold, and my feet are cold too.

im really lousy -.-


anyway, i printed out the program line up.

and there are SO MANY ROUNDS )))))):


whyyyyyyyy


and partner said he hasnt yet had the experience of not making it to the second round at least, and he was teasing me that he'd put that as his facebook status if we don't


anw i smacked him of course. but he's solid rock and i fell down instead.


))):


okay, i thought talking nonsense would release my stress, BUT IM STILL SCARED.


im typing super fast, the way i start talking like a bullet train in presentations when im nervous.

once in a while i need to search for some inspiring dance photos.

this is so beautiful, i really love it. i love the long lines from both of them.


this is super pretty too. i think i love pictures with girls with skinny long legs


this is why guy dancers are amazing!!! strength in motion !


delicate







ahh, so pretty (: it makes me happy to look at these pictures. i especially like the first one, cos it kinda looks like one of my rumba poses. too bad i can't balance en pointe in latin shoes.

and i liked the feel of the first picture, its as though she was going to float and drift away on her tippy toes, but the man is asking her to please stay.

i'm getting so happy in singapore, i'm getting more and more sad about having to go away on exchange.

i'm so lame i can't stand it sometimes. i'm the one who wanted so badly to go away on exchange, and now that i've got it, i don't really think i wanna go. haha


i just can't help thinking, that if i stayed in singapore:

1. viva wouldn't be in so much trouble, cos at least i'd be around to help out until they can find another person to take over

2. my partnership wouldn't be slowed down/ in trouble

3. i could have secured a place in campus residence for myself (they didn't accept half year applications)

4. can help my sis with her stressful A level uni decisions and applications

5. have my mummy to look after me


the best thing about going to nz though, is that i get to take 20mcs of credit that are ungraded!!
i need my cap to stop dropping so that's probs a good thing haha


3 more days to TDA! we got good comments from our teachers yest, so i feel a bit better.

was so nervous after dancing our first round, cos she sternly walked over to us and gave us a look. i was holding my breath while waiting for her comments. haha


God, please don't let me do anything stupid on the floor on sunday. i don't wanna disappoint my teachers, my partner, and viva!!


until sunday i'm living, breathing dance all day longggg. i love it!

omgoshomgoshomgoshomgoshomgosh.

TDA is sundayyyyyy. i think im going to faint.

so much for being a brave girl. im super super stressed.

cos everytime we prac, everyone is observing us. and i shiver, and my hands turn cold, and my feet stop staying on balance. it's terrible.


and no one even cares what im dancing, cos, according to ppl around me, my partner is 'scarily good!'

):

and he's so energetic and hardworking that he improves really fast. my friends said i will kill myself trying to catch up.


okay, nevermind. ): just be a thick skinned person, and do what i can on sunday. ):


going to AnA later!!! i'm scared they will scold meeee. hahha, im going to eat a cheese waffle later to calm myself down later (:


but. even though i sound so stressed, do i really mind having a partner who's levels above me?

HAHA, of course not :D
it's awesome cos his dancing looks wonderful to me, and i have someone to inspire me to work hard. haha


except when im very stressed. and him dancing wonderfully there by himself, makes me feel like he should just do solo and no one would realise any difference.


in fact, he calls our routine 'spot the difference'. cos my time steps and checks and whatever steps look like crap next to his. :/


and picking up ballroom is really really tough work! it's like learning to walk all over again. ):


dancing is hard work man.

how am i supposed to have time to study ?? hahah

i think i'll try defying gravity

my ex partner is currently not very happy with me.

because i told him it's awkward for everyone when he calls me partner still in front of everyone.

i told him it doesnt make sense anymore and he lectured me about not knowing the power of names. ):

i really hate how he treats me like i have no brains sometimes. and hate how he's really seems to be taking all these like a relationship breakup.

he even told me that we should have decided whether or not to keep calling each other partner 3 weeks back. and i was thinking 'wow, he even kept track of the date? i wasnt counting how far back that was, oops.'

but can't say i blame him. just wish it wasn't like that.

why are my dance partnerships all complicated. WHY. ):






anyway, super tired from dance camp!!!

but it was fun! i wish i had a dance school, whereby we just dance and eat!!

and carin is an amazing girl, she doesn't need to eat, doesn't need to sleep, and she stayed up till about 7am having HTHT with me, and she could still dance and teach perfectly well the next day. whereas i completely died. and during standard lesson, i was seriously not present anymore, whenever we went into close hold, i'd just close my eyes and step around, and dont care where we go. lol. and i have these terrible dark circles when i dont sleep, whereas she still looks cute and perfectly normal. WHY. haha <3 her.



moving back to hall tmr! gonna miss having my mummy look after me, tuck me in and kiss me goodnight sometimes, but gonna love being able to do whatever i want, stay out late and dance as much as i like without worrying that she'll worry. haha





It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Too long I've been afraid of losing love
I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!

wicked was awesome! (:

a wonderful way to end my holidays before school, and a super sweet treat by my partner.

i was supposed to be surprised.

but okay, a combination of me being smart, and him being a really bad liar, made me know that he was taking me to wicked wayyy in advance.


he contradicted himself okay. first he told me it's all settled and i HAVE to make it, cos he can't cancel it.
and then, another time, he was telling me it's just dinner and that he hasn't decided where to take me.

so yeaps. he can't lie very well. and i didn't feel like acting dumb. lol.

so he said i'm going to die at dance tmr because i didn't practice for 8 days, and he is going to make me train my jive kicks also ):

but i told him, that actually, if he can make me a better dancer in a short few months, i should be the one treating him. hahaha i'd pay for intensive training if it's effective man.

haha, but yes, anyway, it was seriously sweet of him. i was touched, and wicked was so nice!! i love the songs!! ((: i love musicals!

i remember after watching les mis,i had the blues for weekss!!!



sushi express (:


super yummy miso soup



he was pretending to be asking me how to book tickets, and suggesting we should watch it in future. and i was rolling my eyes in my head, and thinking this picture would make for a good photo for my blog later. HAHA. oops sorry.


he got me smarties!! (:


mickey mouse partner. lollll




:D


thank you (: so much!!!

Was packing camp stuff, realised i have at least a few hundred pins, and a lot of spare lipglosses, lipsticks in all sorts of shades, other makeup, eyelashes etc.

Realised that i have been stocking up since i always need these stuff.

So what am i gonna do one day when i'm done with dance )):

Im going to be really sad.

I only have 6 mths before everything changes ): my best girlfriends in dance are all graduating,

Im leaving.

And i dunno what's gonna happen after that.


It's okay. ):

But i just hope that nothing else changes within the next 6 mths, and i can really enjoy my dance life!!
With my girls, and partner and all my friends );

So for the next 6 mths, i hope i can just happily continue buying eyelashes when i see cheap ones, and be able to tell myself that i still need them. Dont wanna think abt leaving yet


Okie, gonna meet the partner now!!


Lovelove!

love is...

okay i totally copied this off angelina's blog. but... too cute not to share!!
