dec.
hello everyone :)
i havent blogged for a reaaaaally long time. busy i guess. or mayb just lazy to do so. haha. during these few wks i performed for njc prom 2006 (with 6 other wdancers), had youth camp, and went for a kelong trip in malaysia.
njc prom 2006 - a midsummernight's dream (3rd dec)
i was ill. horrible. e aftnn at swissotel CRAWLED. snifflg and felt quite miserable. but e performance was not bad. apart frm technical errors at e beginning of e dance, everyth else went pretty smoothly :) shall get amanda to upload e video soon.
youth camp - life's codebreaker (5-8 dec)
i didnt get any better on e 4th, so i arrived in church on e 5th stil feelg ill. but running ard in e aftnn for games helped. felt much better aft tt. next time, i shall go jogging when i have a bad sore throat and flu. had a time management talk in e eveng, aft dinner, before debrief and zzz.
this yr's camp is abt how to succeed in life, with its slogan 'if life is a game, are you playing to win?' so throughout e camp we had talks on time management, study smart, financial management, bgr and stress management.
on e 2nd day i missed games and talentime, cos i left for dance prac. returned at around 10 20pm. cold shower. freeezg. haha.
on e 3rd day we went to pasir ris park for games, but it rained, so kinda defeated e purpose of gg all the way there. but in e eveng a pastor we invited came and gave e ultimate talk to breaking life's code - e gospel. we had sharing aft that, and then our final game for e camp - dark angels. whee. green exit signs were freaky. game ended around midnight, got in grps to enjoy pizza tt ailing ordered :) showered close to 1 30am. brrrr. then wrote encouragement cards with ziling, kaixuan. stumbled to dorm at ard 3. haha.
last day.. we had debrief, prize presentations, photo takg.. and cleaned up. went for dance prac tt eveng. terribly tired when i got back.
HAD BALLET E NXT DAY. sighh. i basically embarrassed myself, my mind wasnt workg.
kelong trip (14-15 dec)
e families gg met at SIX AM. goshh. i was totally not awake. took a mini van all e way to a jetty in malaysia, i slept most of e way. frm e jetty took a motorboat to the kelong. i must say i was kind of taken aback upon reachg e kelong. it was basically a large room, housing e followg: double-decked beds, a few large round tables, and a kitchen. this large room was on a large platform, made up of planks placed horizontally, side by side. toilets were located outside e room, but on e platform. think a photo frame. room is e picture, e frame is where u fish. yupp. well i basically watched them fish, got bored and went to my bed to read. went out occasionally to look ard. then it started RAINING. so everyone went back into e room. and drew e curtains (at e doorways) to prevent e rain frm coming in. best part? electricity only comes in in e EVENING. so much as i want to read, i cldnt. too dark. nxt best thing to do? sleep. haha.
well in e evening, we gathered at the 'borders' and talked. e breeze was really cool. if there were things i missed there, it'd be e cool breeze and soft rippling of e waves. slept ard 1.
nxt day, we went to e beach of pulau sibu. rode waves! wheeee. it was exhilaratg. although i went under accidentally twice, and throat hurt frm e saline water. but it was GREAT. :)
aft tt, lunch, and headed home. e mini van driver was so nice to try and play e 'superman returns' dvd so we wont feel bored. unfortunately, it turned out to be in black and white, and volume was so soft, i had to strain my ears. aft awhile, i gave up and slept :P got home at ard 7.
yupp tt's all for my very long update. ALOT OF WORK TO DO. somehow v restless. not doing hol hmwk. although i'm supposed to. :S
lookg forward to christmas! speakg of which, go to my wishlist? :P
okay, til e nxt time, take care guys! :)
