Daddy was driving his friend to our house the other day and we started a chat. He was asking what I'm doing now and when I said I was doing dance in LASALLE, his immediate response was "WOAH! GOOD! BRIGHT FUTURE!"
Honestly, it's really comforting to know that there's SOMEONE in Singapore, of my parents' generation, who's very supportive of such dreams instead of the normal "WHAT!" or "WHY?!" or "YOU SHOULD AT LEAST FINISH YOUR STUDIES NOW LAH!"
Studies ain't for everyone, just like how arts may not be for everyone.

FORGOTTEN MELODIES
Away from the main shopping crowd, in one small theatre held a very small-scaled concert. It's amazing watching the fingers move at speed of light. Makes me wonder how fast can a human's finger go.
Benjamin Lim is crazy.

ALL MY FEARS SWEPT AWAY
Hillsong Live - You Hold Me Now
On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of your embrace
When Your love is all I need
And forever I am free
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence here to hold
Let these songs of heaven rise to you alone
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suff'ring You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now
In this life fin'lly stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails
When You're name is lifted high
And forever praises last
For the glory of Your Name
I'll be livin' for the day
When the world has finally cease
All creation rest in peace
Let these songs of heaven rise to you alone
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suff'ring You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now
Was just listening to this song and it instantly brought tears to my eyes. So encouraging, so comforting.

TOO DAMN COOL
I have to say. MY SCHOOL IS TOO DAMN COOL! They had a "Welcome Back To School" party this evening and it started with a...what do you call that..drums band? A bit like marching band but no marching and HELL LOADS cooler with 3 guys at the back lifting the largest drums up and down while playing them. Not forgetting a dance performance by the level 1-3 dance students (which distinctively showed who were the hiphop and non-hiphop dancers) and FREE FOOD. Dessert was pathetic but HECK.
My school is too damn cool. I'm loving it more and more by day.
Even though lessons are 8.30am-7pm Mondays to Fridays and we have to dance for 3 to 3.5 hours a day depending on the days and do push ups while almost-side-splitting.

HOLA!
Oh my wow. I just have to wait another 5 days and this blog would have been left untouched for a month! I stopped blogging halfway through my Sydney trip because I fell sick (to the point of nauseousness and almost fainting) and when I got back to Perth, it was constant packing. 3.5 years of stuff all packed and brought back to Singapore.
As if not enough, when I got back to Singapore I had to pack my room because I was going to refurnish my room (new wardrobe and bed and side table and swivel chair coming this Saturday!!!).
School has OFFICIALLY STARTED! I have to admit I was shit scared. Unlike your normal primary/secondary school, college or university where it's kind of a norm to attend, LASALLE is where every single person fought to get in, myself included. You'll naturally come to realise every single student who made it in LASALLE is fighting for his/her dream and you can pretty much say the whole environment is very competitive (adding on to the naturally competitive educational culture in Singapore).
Yet again, if you choose to look at it in a different perspective, every single student in LASALLE share the same dream; to make people out there realise art is just but another form of communication less used. We come together with the same dream and hence you can say we understand each other better? Or at least, to a certain extent, we often look out for each other for only we can understand each other best (the discrimination and the exclusiveness people think of us as).
I know it's only the first day of school but I do really hope it gets better from here. OR AT LEAST I hope it doesn't get dry. My school's cool. For the very first time in my whole 19 years, 7 months and 9 days of life, I ENJOYED SCHOOL!
