Dance camp was good, amidst all the fun and laughter, we did learn a few things ( petits battements, Jeté battu ) and bonded with each other. Night games was good as well, my group was like ravenous for clues and we completed 9 out of 10 stations, pretty great an achievement ain't it :]
Of course, showcase was hilarious ! My group lost the station games and couldn't choose a song we wanted, hence we were assigned to this hokkien-cheena song which nobody ever heard of and understood the lyrics of the song. Anyway, click on the links if you want to catch the videos of my group, Jacky's group and Jeslyn's group.
I've lost my wallet and my handphone's confiscated. I suck at my school work and cca. What can be more tragic than this ?? I hate this, it's as if, everything chooses to go against my will. And so many a time I try to expunge those gloomy thoughts off my thoughts, I fail miserably. Then I'll feel extremely dopey and insignificant. But oh well, in life, we have to face such demise, we can't expect a smooth-sailing journey anyway. Besides, I haven't been putting in effort in anything I do, so I guess I don't deserve any reward.
I've got a busy week ahead, and many more weeks to come. Till Street Fest ( SO EXCITING :D ) and Aristal. Looking forward to streetfest, ahhhhhhh ! NJWD LOVES !
My always and forever My sunshine On my mind, constant Think about you all the time You're my everything You make the sun come up on a cloudy day You're my number one, you're my special thing
The remedy to all emo-ness ! Well, all the fun has to go and lessons has started. I just flunked my chemistry and econs test today and there's much more to come. Dance has been nuts, there's dance everyday this week. And I've got a completely insane schedule till Aristal, plus many many things going on and tasks to be completed, I officially declare JC life as an outrageous derangement.
And the risk that might break you is The one that would save A life you don't live is still lost So stand on the edge with me Hold back your fear and see Nothing is real till it's gone
Hold on before it's too late We'll run till we leave this behind Don't fall, just be who you are It's all that we need in our lives

HAPPY HAPPY EASTER ! Such a joyous day today, one of hope and victory.
Enrichment week is coming to an end, I am going to miss it, because during this period I totally condemned my studies and enjoyed full out. But oh well, I guess I can't do that anymore, if not I'll retain.
Pictures speak a thousand words :]
Here's some Soler for you ! I like this piece its like, unique and soothing, the tempo is steady and has nice melody spread across both hands. I guess some baroque pieces are nice :]

"... and bowing his head, he gave up the spirit."
This is Jesus' love for his people. The very people who cruxified him, spat on him, tore his clothes, crowned him with thorns, whipped him, tortured him, embarrassed him. This is the Passion of Christ, God's agape. His unconditional love.
Lord, by the suffering of Christ your Son, you have saved us all from the death we inherited from sinful Adam. By the law of nature we have borne the likeness of his manhood. May the sanctifying power of grace help us to put on the likeness of our Lord in heaven.
It's Good Friday. A day of fasting and a day of prayer. I will try to abstain from the computer. I WILL TRY.
A thousand times I've failed Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again I'm caught in Your grace Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fame
Your will above all else My purpose remains The art of losing myself In bringing You praise Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fame
My heart and my soul Lord I give You control Consume me from the inside out Lord let justice and praise Become my embrace To love you from the inside out

He guides me along the right path; he is true to his name. If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear. You are there with your crook and your staff; with these you give me comfort.
Sometimes you suffer setbacks after setbacks, though they come in many different forms. They assail you, deride you, revile you.
I'm a failure in whatever I do. Yet, the Lord my God is always there, and I must strive to follow His ways.
The Lord is my Shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my dropping spirits.
I miss st nicks. Daily prayers, weekly masses, singing of hymns, RE. I miss the catholic environment. Tell me why didn't I go to CJ or SA ? (BUT NJ ROCKS TRUCKLOADS)
An old song, the panacea to a sombre mood that is inscrutable, and alleviates one's pain. Just like friendship :]
Where is the moment we needed the most You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost They tell me your blue skies fade to gray They tell me your passion's gone away And I don't need no carrying on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee you go You tell me your life's been way off line You're falling to pieces every time And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work on a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day Oh, you had a bad day
Sometimes the system goes on a blink And the whole thing it turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong

Finally, after what seemed like several exorbitant practices, Dance Bliss is finally over. Ah yes, such a relief. The j1s' first performance as NJWDancers. (: I will miss the choreography, although it did make a burlesque out of me !
Thanks for the dears who came down and support us ! 14th March was definitely poignant (and disappointing), but I'm glad I have had this experience.
Shucks, school is reopening yet, and I have not done anything ! I need to start studying for VA ! This is terrible, I'm always procrastinating like hell. I'm going to retain, I know I will.
Today's palm sunday, the start of holy week. I shall make it a point to do reflections everyday and if I can, attend daily mass. I going to be a pious Jesus freak :D Because you're the only one that I could live for !
I wish some people could be less biased because I HATE biased people. I have had enough of it in secondary school, I can't believe I have to deal with it in jc.

es So western dance camp was cancelled, and the j1s (vanessa audrey jeslyn zifang sijia daniel jacky and I ) went to sleepover at jacky's place. We also watched Sky of Love at cathay amk hub, which I must say, is quite a romantic and sweet show. Albeit predictable, I think it's really touching !
Those sessions of I Never, gossips, "truth and declaration" and pigging out were great ! And we had 5 hours of sleep, which I found substantially adequate :]
specs + dancers = muggers
Jacky's living room
Braddel View clubhouse toilet !
My schedule for the holidays is INSANE, I haven't touched any work, nor do I have time to.
Thursday: Dance bliss prac, Peter Teo's aristal prac, P&W prac (12pm to 9pm)
I want to get Dance Bliss performance over and done with. All the way njwd dancebliss '08 !
Was it something I said to make you turn away
To make you walk out and leave me cold
If I could just find a way
To make it so that you were right here
Right now I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind

HELLO BEST FRIEND !
Here's wishing you a happy happy happy birthday from the bottom of my heart. Our 7 years of friendship may seem short, but its definitely fulfilling. All those times we spent going crazy at fastfood outlets, Al-Ameen, Loykee, shopping centres, parables meeting and rehearsals have been wonderful. I'll remember every single performance with you too ! Of course, bel you and I are seriously the noisiest threesome in church, but I love being in both of your company :D I'm so glad I have sisters like you and bel, and I really really really want to spend more time with you two. However, as you know, our schedules are nuts (perhaps its just mine ??) and I barely have time to go out. Still, know that I'm always praying for you. Thank you for always being there to listen to me, thank you for being ever so understanding. Sorry for the times I pangseh you ! Yupp, especially last saturday for mass :/ You are so sweet and caring dot ! I hope you had a good time just now, bel and I decided that we should surprise you a little. haha so anyway I love you loads loads loads and nothing's going to change my love for youu (awwwwww :D) You make me laugh, smile and cry. So keep smiling, keep shining, know that you can always count on me for sure, that's what friends (SISTERS ) are for :D
HAPPY 17th birthday DOT !
YAY I enjoyed today very very much, cranium at nebo with jumbo beef dogs and beef fries rock :]
Oh, and victor's N-95 5megapixel camera phone was hard to resist !
BEL
Here's a song dedicated to the birthday girl hahaha :D We shall play cranium again someday :)

And so here I bid farewell to PAE, to term 1.
Which has been nothing but fun, loads of fun, at the price of my studies. That's terribly awful, but who cares ? I love the people in nj, and I should seriously stop lamenting about not being able to be in rj.
Anyway, I'm still phoneless, all because some fuckingbitch who chooses not to believe that I have dance pracs everyday and fuckingtook away my phone. Fuck.
Lord, guide me in my every step. Help me not to fall into temptation. I want to follow in your footsteps, to experience your great love and share them with the people around me. Yet my temper is terrible. I ask you, Lord, to give me the wisdom to make right choices. Here I am, humbled by the love that you give, forgiven so that I can forgive. Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine since you laid down your life. The greatest sacrifice.
Majesty, your grace has found me just I am. I need you.

Emo is shit, so I'm like shit right now.
Yet its no use emo-ing over this shit because I choose my own actions, and I chose to be lazy. I'm going to fail J1. Why can't I just wake up from this fucked-up shit ?!?!?

EVERYDAY
there will be times of ephemeral loneliness, misery and solitude
Wearing that suit of grey really makes me feel that life has no colour. I seriously, seriously miss the pinafore.

I really want a Parables outing sooooooon, pretty please ! I hate to think that I am so busy. I mean, its only my J1 year, and I'm having dance pracs like everyday. So whenever I spend time with my friends, I really treasure those moments :) Anyway, since Daryl mentioned me in his post, I shall mention him too :D Stop being so mean to Junfeng ! haha and thank you for the 'tuition' that day :)
