Gorgeous us!

Today was an awesome day spent at Teenage Mission: Gorgeous You! at Bugis Junction! It was running man style and we worked in couples, and I think me and my couple was cooooool! Like we super got fate one, cuz I was looking through other semi-finalists' photo on insta (those who hashtagged gorgeousyou), and I saw Hanis on insta, then the nxt day I met him at the Youtube fanmeet, and we're coincidentally a couple for the Teenage event!! What can I say, the world is soooo small :) And ofc there wasn't much awkwardness la, it was really fun playing and running around with Hanis :)

 

 

Me and Hanis! :)

 

Haha before I forget, I have to say I'm really sorry for not blogging much lately, especially for my birthday and the fanmeet. Busy busy with school luhh, loads of tests and assignments the past few weeks!

 

 

Anyway, of course I made new friends!! Even though it's just 3 haha, but we were awesome together :) Oh make it 4, there's still Mandi but we didn't manage to take a pic together.

And we accompanied Brice to Paris Miki afterwards so he could get PROFESSIONAL HELP taking his contact lenses out and then learn how to really use them. It was really an enriching experience hahaha we were like having a practical lesson lol! Andddd we totally should have filmed the whole thing down it was so funny I can't even.

 

 

 

 

 

Okay to summarise the whole day, I can only say it was super awesome, filled with lots of photo-taking at all the not-so-flattering angles of mine, and truckloads of fun and laughter. Really a day well spent, and I would say even if I didn't get into the finals, there's no regrets because I've done my best and I enjoyed myself a lot! Oh and I really hope Hanis doesn't think I'm stupid or something because I couldn't play the memory game well and I couldn't remember my lines for the Freshkon ad (all part of the stations during the amazing race). Thank you Teenage Team for organizing such an amazing amazing race for us!! Love love love!! <3

Motivation;

A while ago I saw a post on RV Confessions that this dancer from RVDS felt sad because her mum didn't say much after the SYF appreciation showcase. To be honest, I wasn't really looking forward to the showcase at first because my whole family was to go back to Malaysia for the elections. The teachers kept emphasizing that it was a performance for our parents and it was a chance for us to show our appreciation towards them, but without my family watching me, what is the showcase to me? It was a question ever since I couldn't get tickets for my family for my ballet performance too. What am I dancing for?

 

It started when my mum let me attend dance classes as a kid because she wanted me to have a good body posture. I continued dancing in school, joining dance cca in primary school and eventually RVDS in RV now. It came naturally that dance was all I can do, so that's why I dance. Like it's just a part of me. But recently I've been thinking why. What is the motivation for me to dance? It's not easy like what most people think. Many people think that performing arts is easy because we stay indoors most of the time and we enjoy having air-con. But in fact, we train hard too, just like any other cca.

 

I realise that I want to dance for the family and friends around me. Someone told me that it doesn't matter if nobody is there to watch my performance, I should just enjoy myself. But I just feel that the feeling would be different. I don't want to be merely dancing for myself. I want to dance for a purpose. To perform for the people I love. I actually felt hurt that my mum didn't seem too affected like she would in the past when I told her there were no more tickets to my ballet performance, or when she said she couldn't make it for the showcase. Perhaps she feels that there would be lots of opportunities, since both me and my brother are in dance. But like what sulaoshi said, we should treasure every opportunity we get to perform for our family. Just kinda down that my mum doesn't seem feel that way..

 

But anyway, like what I commented on that post, I think even though it wasn't said out loud, it doesn't mean that her mum didn't feel proud of her. Some parents just don't express themselves in that way. I was really happy that my grandmother came to support cuz she stayed in SG to look after us. Who knows when she will ever get another chance to look at her grandchildren perform for her...

I hope this post doesn't sound too choppy cuz I was working on it while on-the-move haha. Like typing a few sentences while I can when I'm on the MRT and stuff. And I'm supposed to be doing my physics project now but the stuff all still loading so I remembered to come and post this! Shall go back to work on my project now, gonna be a long night ahead.. Byebye!!

 

Xoxo,

P.S. Today Huien and I went for a dance recital audition hahaha. We forgot our steps when we had to stand in front lolol but it was really fun! Like I was really enjoying the dance and music cuz it was really cute, but I think enjoy too much until forget steps le haha xP Results will be out tomorrow evening! It's ok if I don't get in haha, will treat it as a good experience! :)
