quality time is precious =)

2008-09-05T23:09:00.002+08:00

Damn late for work today...tireds! By raining doesn't really help me to get out of the house even more. Waited for a damn cab for half an hr at 3 diff locations near my area BUT ended up taking the train cos there was not a single green flashing vaccant cab at sight!! Grrrr.... reached work only at 9.40pm.

Rushed for a meeting with Chinese Xiangqi Association Chairperson and committee for a good whole 2 hrs!! Dang! My mandarin super can't make it lar... was kinda impatient to a certain extent cos maybe wasn't in a very good mood to handle them when i got so many things to settle for PF 2008 in 2 days time!! Rushed a few emails out and off i left office for my family quality time!

Met up aunts,mum and sis @city hall & went to Spore Fyer's Kenko Fish Spa!!! =)
damn fun experience...super ticklish! sickening sis still ask us to spread open our toes to let the lil fishes feed btw them!~! Ultimate ticklishness.... haha

after 5 mins of "fish-foot biting" we got used to it and started watching how the fishes work and taking pics of each other..lol

Anyway, went to many places today!
1) Haagen Daz for ice-cream chill out after "kena bitten"
2) Esplanade's roof Terrace
3) Walked over to National Musem
4) Cathay Cineplex in Dhoby Ghaut
5) Ate in "Ri BEn ChUn"
6) Walked to Singapore Arts Musem
7) Back to CityHall Mrt
H.O.M.E.S.W.E.E.T.H.O.M.E.

Fun and laughter is what describes my day today! enjoyed this short quality time and will anticipate and organise more of such outings.. hehe. (picutes be up soon.... )

Random note: B.E.A.U.T.Y simply means BadEvilAwfulUglyTerribleYucky

How does that sounds huh? IT's Art i would say... =) How do u see it?

2008-09-01T23:26:00.004+08:00

" There is never NO TIME for Anything."

"No time" indirectly means "death" cos only people at the verge of death awaits and count the no. of days (time) they are left with ....
Then again, even these people PLAN their precious "given" time to fulfill whatever they need to, and achieve before they'll never get a chance to.... ...... ............ .........anymore

So for people out there who thinks that u have all the time in the world, think again.
Simply, if you don't plan for your own, u're none better than a dying person. Rather a dying man deserves more respect than a healthy living soul.
So for those who does not plan for their life, needs, wants, likes, aim, future etc... my advice is START NOW! for: -
" TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN"

Fact:
We have 24hrs a day
We need 8 hrs of sleep
We work a minimal of 8 - 9 hrs a day

Created fact:
We have 24 hrs a day
We don't sleep for full 8 hrs (majority)
Most of us don't work more than that stipulated timing if possible

But we always complain that we got "NO TIME" to do this, do that etc.... Why? Cos we spend most of the time thinking, WHY do we not have enough time!? Cos the fav phrase of "NO TIME" is nothing but plain excuses....

"Time is dead. Humans are not."
"Clock is inflexible. Humans are not."
We can't turn back time that's for sure, so enter into the race - 'The Race Against Time'

Random note of the day: "Electronic devices in this technologically-advanced world such as Hand phones does makes the world smaller, but makes the gap greater between you and me."

*Think abt it. And ask yourself... Can you leave a day without your HP? How would you feel then?

N.Y.D.C

2008-08-31T22:31:00.004+08:00

"Thumbs up for n.y.d.c!!!" hmm.. i nv fancied n.y.d.c after a bad experience some years ago cos i ate something horrible, small portion and expensive! erm.. but i couldn't rem what was it =p

till today when Jia and I couldn't decide what to eat for lunch at Bugis, i ironically suggested to eat in n.y.d.c Lol... Was so so so happy with my order! Very nice, u guys sld try it!! haha their pizzas are not bad tooo... Yums! Oh, plus they're famous for their mudpies! Yet to try them.....

2008-08-30T23:50:00.003+08:00

I'm currently addicted to this song: http://www.sinhuey.com/

Song title: "我知道我变漂亮了" by 石欣卉

This was the theme song for "Perfect Cut" - 《一切完美》Just 'click' , wait a while, listen & enjoy. Has very meaningful lyrics. Amazingly, it's written by our local Sin Huey herself =) Nice voice and catchy tune!! I've been repeating it for 2 whole days on my mp3 and comp...Lol...

oohh... anyway, BE prac finally resumed after exams and I led class today. Rene's body conditioning and a little Jive techniques could slightly "kill them" i guess. All tired faces after that....including me!!! Brought my running gear but decided my legs were too stressed to carry me further, hence.... i went office to WORK!! -_-" Left office at 7pm and met sis to buy her Saucony running shoes!!! haha... the sisters bought running shoes together! =)

Random note: I don't bloody understand how ladies can occupy a single toilet cubicle for so damn long!!! I'm talking about public toilets in shopping malls and Mrt stations esp! Super irritating... waited for 2 damn cubicles in CityHall Mrt toilet for at least 15mins!! I think someone who has menses+shit+urinate at the same time DON'T even need THAT LONG!!!!??? super inconsiderate ladies.....Grrrrrrrr feel like just kicking the door open to see what are they bloody doing, taking their own sweet time....in a toilet???! *Plus my encounter today was so damn quiet... no sound in the cubicle at all and even the SHADOW on the floor did not move! SLEEPING OR SERIOUS CONSTIPATION?! ...pissed...

My Red ASICS running shoes!!!

2008-08-27T23:03:00.003+08:00

yes!! I'm like so damn happy today cos I've finally laid my hands on a pair of running shoes that i've longed for.... so long. ASICS! =) iT'S OnLy $90! HAHA....Well, it's not like its the newest model or a fantastic pair of shoes. In fact it's a Youth not an Adult model, cos i've got feet size way toooooooooo tiny to fit into ANY adult model of ANY brand.
Nike, Adidas, Fila, Asics, Mizuno, Saucony etc... U NAME IT, THEY DON'T HAVE IT!

till i'm so pissed at times that i can't seem to get any shoe of my size and no one ever bothers to recommend or find an alternative for me! Darn sales person!! Till today!!! Whatever it is, i might sound as if i got the world's best running shoe........... well, i think i'm happy enough, contented with what i have! =) That's to MY expectations cos i can't run for NUTS anyway...jus that i need a proper pair to train .... so POOF! here it is.... My aim is still to get my inline skates~!!! Yeahs!!!

will try to "test-run" tml hehe... hopefully the erotic weather permits me to do so! LOLZ...

random note again: darn busy period for me now !! Polyforum, OBS, lunchtime concert, Orion, Kelantan Trip and more invited performances!! Go go go go..... Rene can do it! haha... i love to get busy! I will still train and dance, skate (erm...soon) and spend quality time!!! Will work towards my studies AIM soon................

tml is OT day for PolyForum!! lalala....

Rekindled sport???

2008-08-27T00:53:00.004+08:00

http://k2skates.com/en

Yes... I want to resume leisure skating!!! Have always wanted to replace my old pair that is not even in proper complete condition. The buckles my major problem when it snapped a few months back and replacing 1 buckle is a good whole $15!!! i have 9 buckles mind u... means i gotta spend a good whole $90 just for the buckles to be changed?! No Shit! NO ONE in the right mind will ever change it instead of getting a brand new pair... unless its still in tip top condition la....

chatted with the sales girl for pretty long and got to know so so much more abt skates. Had a free skate education, which will benefit me asking around for skates. Yupp... shall fill in more once i've done enough research on the skates.

Ate Ramen with Jia at Central =) Nice nice!!

tireds~ nights!

Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony

2008-08-24T21:27:00.012+08:00

BEI BEI.JING JING.HUAN HUAN.YING YING.NI NI

It's 930pm now while posting in this blog entry. Well, not really an entry.... just wana say a few words while in the mids of watching the Olympics Closing Ceremony.

"amazing, astonishing, breathtaking, dazzling, dramatic, elaborate, fabulous, fantastic, grand, magnificent, marvelous, miraculous, sensational, splendid, striking, stupendous, theatrical, thrilling, wonderful......... TOTALLY AWESOME!"

What more can i say? China has nothing more to offer than HUMAN BEINGS!! having millions of volunteers for the closing ceremony! OMG!!! Everything was plainly human visuals! a night of a human creation of visual effects thats all.. Well, thats the ONLY resources they have anyway... what can u expect from CHINA!? But............. the damn shout-singing for so god damn long is even worse!! Totally spoils the entire ceremony..........

~humans......~
~humans...... more....~
~humans......it just doesn't stop ..... more humans~
~ and even more humans ...till even if 10 falls off and dies, no one will even notice.....~
Well, i dunno abt the Opening Ceremony cos i missed it =( Dang! (it's ok, i'm sure i'll be able to get it..) Right! back to the television now!

A little random here.......I HATE JADE SEAH TO THE MAX!!! WHAT A PAIN IN THE ARSE JUST TO EVEN HEAR HER DAMN VOICE!

Btw, who knows the song of the NIKON advertisement that has been broadcast over the tv sooooo often. I like the song! (the ad with former Mediacorp actor Chen Chuan Zi) =D nice ad and song! )
*okies back to tv!! heex*

Alrights lazy to type already. Short and simple abt today.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

2008-05-15T13:38:00.004+08:00

haha... managed to do an EQ test from a link i got from my friend's blog!! Thanks Jacqueline aka GAO GAO (tall tall) =p

haha i steal the link from ya blog...lol
Readers!! Try it too.. =)
Mine's in fact very TRUE. (I really can be part-time counseller liao!)

Your EQ is 147
You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.

You are warm and open. Even when life gets you down, you're unafraid of the world and its challenges.You are comfortable with who you are. And you accept your weaknesses - as well as the weaknesses of others.

While you are quite stable, you don't respond perfectly to every bad situation that comes up. But you have enough emotional intelligence to know when you need a course correction.

Yeah, I'm better than Meixian liao...haha

Anyways, apologies for missed blogging for some time and i guess everyone wld've guessed the reason lar...yupp I'm busy and tired and which eventually caused laziness =p
I'll try to get back to blog ya? Bit by bit on many updates so ......
STAY TUNED...lol

Currently working on Graduation 2008! Just had a SHOPPING spree with my dear singers and Edelweis! Too bad Bennerick could not make it... Was a fun one to Taka, tried on dresses and shirts etc.... Walking to and fro taka-wisma & wisma-taka so many times! Lol..
everything done in 4 hrs!!!

This week will be an entire week of loving NYP's Auditorium for late Grad rehearsals and next week will be an entire week of loving A.239 Dance Studio for the actual Grad where we'll be spending most of our time in.
IT'S THE "NAI MAS" IN ACTION FOR ALL STUDENT PERFORMERS AGAIN!! =)

(it's okay, P.bag! we can learn and dance R'n'R kie? Hammy will teach u...hehe)

Actually, this week is kinda low for me as I was down with the common virus that's been spreading like mad lately! Well, that happened last week and I was practically away from office for 1 WEEK! Fever went up to 39.4 Which means, i got loads of emails to clear, things to follow up etc for this week. Just feel lethargic and stuff. Oh well, just hope things will slowly pick up again and I'll be happy.

Virus Link-Chart
MASTER SPREADER VICTIM 1 VICTIM 2
Benji --- Rene --- Zhiping

Oh by the way, wana say a BIG "THANK YOU" to all those who were so concerned abt me when I was sick. Xie Xie ni men!! =) HUggies for all!

Also feeling kinda emotional after a sudden news on Sunday. ="( Shocking and sad. Although after crying here and there from everyone, it only worsen the feeling. Sigh... But somehow, in just someway i feel that U'll be back. I dunno why. Nevertheless, yes i agree with the rest that things will nv be the same as before anymore but we'll still continue to stay strong and be motivated and carry on. I will always remember ....... Make a STATEMENT! Thank you for all u've given us. Love ya! =)

Alrights, I'll stop here for today. Gotta rest early too.. NItes all!

last swing lesson

2008-04-06T23:23:00.004+08:00

Today's swing lesson was fun but was a casualty session too. Many casualties due to the stunts like "frog leap" given by Sing. My darling ZP even had to be sent to A&E by Peter cos she injured her left hip joint when Konrad leaped over her and she gave way as a support due to the forceful push.

But luckily, after X-ray and all, she was diagnosed "A-OK"! The only sad part waaaas she'll not be able to perform for ClubCrawl. Konrad is so gonna feel darn lousy and bad abt it. However, generally, I still like today's and enjoyed to the max cos I SAW MEL! haha happys.. kinda miss dancing with Mel.

Rushed to S&G for our tech class.........late!!! Did Chacha today. =) Oh well, it was a very detailed and informative lesson today. Just hope that i can spend more time dancing.... and dance and dane and dance and nothing else..haha.

Tml's gonna be the start of the entire busy week again!! =) Jiayou!~!
It will be P.Bag's 1st day of work too!! All the best bag bag!!

Busy busy busy...........

2008-03-26T21:35:00.002+08:00

This has been a crazy hectic week of work! been staying back in office everyday just to try and get things done. Well, OBS leadership camp was one rushy one but heys, i guess response still wasn't that bad. But i think i'm kinda inefficient that's y i needa stay back to do all the admin work. Geez.... admin is so so much more tougher than the actual event itself. No wonder Some admin asst. are being paid so high in the commercial world.

Anyways, with much more of other big and small event coming up, poly's holidays are the most most jammed-packed for us!! It's our chiong-ing period. So nice to see everyone back, rushing here and there in the office. No one walks in the office anymore, we are all practically either brisk-walking or literally running from place to place within our cosy office. Just feels good to work together like this, helping one another. Well, this is what colleagues are for =)

Lina, as usual being the most busiest person can like have 7 meetings in a day, back to back! With students pouring in, numerous briefings and etc doesn't really make our days any better. Lol.. But still , more work is always better than u got nth to do!

NAPFA Tester's course TEST!!

2008-03-14T17:38:00.003+08:00

Stop the rain and bring some sun..... " rain rain go away, sunshine sunshine on the way..."
(rene's MSN nick)

And finally this came TRUE today!! After an entire week of rain rain and more rain, it finally shined on Friday! TGIF!! But din get to swimmmmmmmmmmmm...... Argh!!!!! So frustrating! Jinlong wanted to "throw" (javelin) during lunch break too but we can't do anything during lunch as we are needed to mend the front admin counter and following that i got a 2.5hrs meeting with SU again for ClubCrawl 2008. Tiring!! So many things undone!

Well, anyways left at 3pm for my NAPFA testers course in SSC. Test was pretty straight forward but a little tricky too. Well, bound to pass for sure i guess. Just that it'll take 1 month before the results wld be released to us!! Crap... so inefficient lar..

Cabbed back to NYP after that, thinking of a short dip and catching the last min Sun before it sets but dark clouds drifted in fast the moment i laid my foot i Blk G! How lucky can i get man! Alrd had my bikini on lar.. Sigh. In the end went to BodyWatch aerobics rm to prac a little with the rest.

May the Sun pls pls remain its heat and shine! lol....

Question: how many of u guys (as in REAL MALES) out there can cook?

not just fry an egg....
or cook a packet of instant noodles....
or frying some overnight rice to make it your so called fried rice..

Well, wads above is probably all those that i can do =p

I'm talking abt real cooking now. Something like CALYPOT rice!!

Benjamin made his way up to SAO with a pot of warm self-cooked CLAYPOT RICE and its really nice!! Without even adding the Sweet dark sauce yet. even when everyone who ate it. none added any extra sauces.

Plus point: its not very OILY
But the ultimate part was the layout of it!!! A standard reaction of every single one who opened the claypot cover goes eyes wide open and "Wah!"

U'll see what i mean =) Enjoy.....
(pics soon to be posted* sry =p)

Next on the list was chicken and pork porridge! Super tasty and nice!! 3 big pots of it! Biggest eater was Chin Kwong who ate 2 big bowls of it! Benji even prepared his own grinded pepper and fried onions as a spice for the porridge. Best! No doubt the entire 3 pots were licked cleaned.. hehe.. next up for menu will be Pizza and pasta!!! Anticipation..... *giggles*

Darn, i feel so ashamed! I wana learn how to cook too!

I'm learning how to Swing!! haha

2008-03-02T23:15:00.005+08:00

BE just started with our very 1st swing's basics from Peter. taught us some basic partnering work, lifts and prep work. however, all these happened only after he whacked us a whole good series of stretching, toning and warm ups!

So felt like back to SA Jazz times again. Sigh... kinda miss it, or rather miss Jazz!

- ran rounds in studio

- basic warm up

- splits (left, right, center)

- kicks

- ponche

- develope

- crunches

- arms toning

- "shit" pose - work the inner thighs

Lin, Pauline and I really "deproved" so so much. Well, all these comes with a price.... I admit its all out of pure laziness and I seriously haven't been doing any SA warm up for at least 9 months!! (rene ought to be boxed....ar bish! Guilty guilty) It's all in the MIND! Seriously this warm up session is not even half of what SA usually does and i'm already enduring and trembling like 7.5 on the Ritcher scale!! Lol... Needa buck up! Call myself a Latin dancer! My foot!!

Anyways, after Peter left, taught Pauline and Lin what we learnt for Samba technique class. Lin's lower hips are quite good i must say. At least they are natural and flexible. Pauline and I really gotta work on it more =) We can do it k gal! hehe..

Finally collected my hp. Went S&G and din expect to see Belman there!! Prac our routine and taught Mel the partnering work we did today. Left S&G only at 1115pm! Belman went all crazy again!! Playing ard and jumping ard like a MONKEY! lol... and Joy actually broke her thumb nail while doing her Samba routine. Ewww...was pretty disgusting~~ Can u imagine the fake and the real nail just snapped into 2? (its damn hard...imagine how great the force was when her finger slammed towards and against the mirror)

It was so loud that everyone look and for a moment a gasped when i saw instant blood red on her fingers....... then IT WAS HER NAIL POLISH LAR (was so dark in the studio lor) Scared me.

K thats was all for Sat class, Now its the real SWING Class with Sing in Jitterbugs! Coolness! She's so swift and fast with her legs yet grounded and despite being her age now!! *bows bows*

Swing really needs certain styling to carry it out. She's really very nice and makes this high pitch voice when she tries to emphasis something... so funny. 3 hours of Swing ended and went to IMM with zp and Peiru. We ate Long Johns and even took a picture using the new CANON compact printer in BEST DENKI. Was so clear and good quality (of cos la, used a 8.1 mega pixels Pentex cam to take our pic)

Prolly u guys might be wondering y is it so good that we can take this for free. Cos it was zp's fren, Fly who helped us to take the nice pic. =)

Well i can't wait for next dance class again but right now my thighs and hip joints are super hurting like mad.. tired tireds

Monday awaits me.... nights peeps!

lalala... no exercise today! oh no..

2008-02-28T19:20:00.004+08:00

Nothing much happened at work today.

DID NOT DO ANY SPORTS TODAY!!! OMG!

Feels so weird not exercising even for a day after whacking sports for 3 weeks. Hmmm ...but i realised i'm working out too much!! My thighs are homogeneous now~~Eeeeks! *ugly rene now*
My right knee hurts further. My arms and shoulders buffed up too! But i got tanner!! hehe ... i like.

Helped Wilfred out for this trial NYP biathalon after work. Was raining and he still made his students swim and run in the quite heavy rain. MONSTER TOH! lol...
Might take part in this biathalon with him aha... if im up to it. Constant training ba...jiayou!

Went to Suntec to collect my hp. Reached there at 830pm and the FREAKING NOKIA CARE CENTER WAS CLOSED AT 8PM!! DARN DARN DAMMIT! SIlly me nv check! Sianz..wasted my precious time. Anw, went a lil shopping and got myself a knee guard but AIMED so many other stuff that can just look and not buy? Irritating.......

alrights, cant wait for tml to dance again!! SWing!! Here i come....... haha

i can save hearts now..... lol

2008-02-27T19:56:00.002+08:00

CPR and choking practical test today! flustered abit but assessor said i was good, not bad =)
But for the next section on "On-spot given situation" Mine was so damn tough la!

Case study :
"a student was hit by a reversing car in a car park, suffered a twisted ankle and a severe crushed left thigh, bleeding profusely. was unconscious. " I was the 1st aider and i took abt 20 mins la! Darn! However, i still did pretty ok and passed =)

awarded a First Aid Cert and yay! we graduated a 20 hour 1st aid course. Hahaha... i enjoyed the course and of cos its helpful! ^^

swam after course for abt 4 laps with 2 non-stop!!! So so so so so happy!! Finally! Ytd was my 1st achievement of swimming non-stop for one lap!! Really an achievement for me after so so many years haha. I'm that bad in running and swimming but I'll improve =) In fact, i am slowly improving. Hope this consistency and motivation stays =)

Tks to Wilfred who corrected my strokes abit and advised me on other ways i can swim to exert less stress on my knees and hips. But then it was damn "xiong" la! my thighs ached after that haha... weakling Rene. And i thought my thighs were strong. lucky my inner thighs are pretty ok. hehe...felt so so good after the swim though tired.

Did some work.. dozed off abit. Is it cos im back to work, stagnant activity again or cos im really tired after the swim? hehe.. i dunno ya cos i hit the tracks again after 6pm and ran my 2.4km with Uncle Guru and Jinlong. Was pretty good to jog with them 1st time, keeps my motivation gg on although my darn thighs were already aching from the swim! My thighs are gonna grow so so big! Eeks!

oh ya, another this is... i have been controlling my bad eating habits as mentioned earlier and i think i'm doing pretty fine. Reduced a lil on junk food and constant mouth-itching to eat and eat and eat. Slowly cutting down on my favourite CARBO too! =( Just a bit la...haha

Jaiyou Rene!!! Determination! Return to what u used to be and be even better! haha..

Back to office, that's what im doing now..... blogging...
Gonna be down to see DanzInc.'s Danceworks team!! So sorry that i can't be there to watch on Sunday for ya comp as promised cos it's our 1st Swing's lesson. Timing clashes so yeah... =( But i'll support morally and spiritually kie? Hugs to all!

All the best to Jess, Nick, Amin, Hui fang, Jingwei, Charla, Le Xiang and Ervinna!! Love u all!

HeartSavers and First Aid Training Programme

2008-02-25T19:35:00.003+08:00

back from my run, cooling down in office now. hmm... did not run the tracks today cos there were too many ppl (erm of cos darn good runners) plus kayakers are having training. Don't wana go there and "xia suay" myself haha. Anyway, not really the case la. just like to jog alone kinda thing, the most 2 person. it's just me...lol. ran only 1 round the campus which is only abt 1.6km lor.. haha kinda lethargic after sitting for the entire day, doing nothing but listening to lectures. LECTURES? did i mention lectures? haha yeah ... will talk abt it soon. ^^ Anyway, still did my crunches. feels good ^^

took up a HeartSavers and First Aid Training Programme held in NYP itself for Staff. It's gonna be a 2.5 days course. Duration: 9am-6pm & 9am-1pm(Wed)

How interesting it was! but the most interesting part is the feeling of this course that consists of lectures, practicals and test. MAKES ME FEELS BACK TO A STUDENT'S LIFE ONCE AGAIN! Awww ..... totally miss that.

Scary part was.. we started off with a 20 min pre-test! haha no one knew anything and i could predict that i'd fail that paper! well, not surprising too cos i'm not supposed to know anything (theoretically) else I'd wouldn't be having my arse seated here to learn abt the course.. hahas.

we learnt the basic theories of all the types of first aids with of course diff lecturers/Dr./speakers to deliver the lectures. although it was all theory, but the lectures were not "dry" at all. maybe cos 1) we had 3 tea breaks prepared for us 2) the speakers were all interesting, informative and fun 3) able to deliver the lecture well. I wasn't tired or dozing off at any point of time for the ENTIRE day (which is a darn miracle cos DOZING OFF is what Rene is most famous for... hahas

7 lectures in total, back to back with only in between toilet breaks! Wow! i did not even experience a crash course like this when i was studying as a student. I really really wish to go back school again! Sigh...

anw, the human body is such a wonderful and amazing thing. what it can do and all... absolutely amazing! kinda interested in this area now..haha. So fickle-minded and wants to learn a bit of everything. Rene is TOO GREEDY! Well, greediness is part of human nature.

At least im greedy for a good cause
- To learn as much as possible.
- Never say die!
- Continuous learning till the day your last breath can take you.
- Age is not a judgement or limitation to learning and FINALLY................
Learning never ends!

alright peeps! gg home early and be a good girl for dinner. Mummy cooked chicken rice! ^^
anticipation for tml's practical!

nights all! bites ^^

IKEA shopping

2008-02-21T23:43:00.005+08:00

Yays! Edel is back to work today. But as usual, she's sick again. Always happens when she's back from trips due to weather changes. It's the last day of CNY so we had an office feast again!! Special delivery by Joan and Mr Wee, we had GIM POH's catering food service to satisfy us ...hehe (Joan's mum family biz)

Prawn rolls, fried rice, curry, mixed vege, chicken, Yam paste, KFC and Yu sheng were our menu of the day! Totally filling lunch and very very nice food esp the curry!!! ^^

Left at 2pm (half day leave =p) and met Joyce at Queensway Ikea. It's been a long time since I've last been there. We had a fun time and bought some stuff too. I just love looking at furniture and decors =)

i finally got to try the Swedish meatballs for the 1st time!! Rather, its our 1st time ^^ So nice!! Yummyz...... oh, there was this toddler in the restaurant who cried so so loudly for at least a good whole half an hr! Strong lungs i must say..... till it got to a point that its sooooo loud and irritating that u just feel like giving one tight slap to stop it (gosh i love kids and this is bad to say, but its really that irritating) The mum was just sitting in front of her kid and trying hard to coax with a smile (obviously not knowing what to do) and her sickening husband was just sitting beside READING NEWSPAPERS and doing absolutely NOTHING~!~! IS he DEAF or something? Gawd! What is happening to parents nowadays??

The sickening thing today was I forgot to bring my Digi cam out!! Darn... actually it was left in my sis's bag from ytd's steamboat gathering in Szehui's house. (hmmm maybe i'll just post some pics of ytd's FUN steamboat ^^)

Feeling bloated after eating so much, decided i must must exercise later! Went back abt 6plus and off to my Aunt's place for dinner again!!! (ate only a few mouthful of rice) Played with my cute cute nephews! Omg! So so adorable ^^ Then i went for a short run by the canal, sit ups and stuff. Felt really good! *at least i don't feel so guilty now...lol*

Well, a day well spent today and gonna anticipate for Sat's arrival! Dance, swim and dance again! ^^

Work's gonna start getting busy busy too! Many event's and things happening this year! Planning planning! Studies, work, dance,future!! Go, go Rene!

*Ooohhh..... i also attended an interesting workshop on Wed called "Handwriting Analysis Workshop" at Civil Service College. Will try to blog abt it if i'm not too lazy =)*

Gonna get back into shape =)

2008-02-19T16:32:00.004+08:00

What a super restless day i had today.
Totally can't keep myself awake. Eyes refuse to open and i kept dozing on and off in front of my comp. For 45 mins!!! Till i can't take it, stood up and chatted with Agnes, then only i felt abit better.

Normally i'll load myself with countless of junk food in order to perk up but this can't go on! Anw, it's unhealthy after all. Must control my bad eating habits and curb my diet! hehe..

then decided to go for a jog at the stadium during lunch. This is the best period to utilise campus facilities cos its exams period!! No ppl! I got the entire stadium to myself.

Feels great to jog when your only companion is the Sun, wind, trees , track, grass, birds and music. However, today i lacked a lil motivation. Jogged under the hot sun for only 5 rounds (can't even force myself to complete at least a 2.4km) Darn! Still did my sets of sit-ups and hit back to work after a nice cool shower!! Shiokness!

Ate a lil for lunch with Benji then met Zp to get the application form for BA (HONS) RETAIL MARKETING. Hmm... still deciding if i should pursue what i really like or this. I wana get myself back on books again!!

Graduation meeting with the big bosses of each School at 315pm. Wad a darn timing lor....the laziest and sleepiest timing of the day... *dreads dreads* Thank Goodness it ended within an hr, else my head would have hit the table.

Sleepy! Now im back in office blogging...lol. Needa keep myself awake and apparently i haven been updating. Sorry peeps, esp those frequent readers hehe (are u guys smiling to yourselves now? haha)

Am anticipating for my swim later after work and maybe dance too! hmm.. haha must get back into shape, train, tone and be fit!!!! Am gonna sign up for my 1st and ever Registered Run called "PASSION RUN 2008" =) Peeps!! Those interested pls go to http://singaporepassionrun.com/ and have a look =) Reg date closes end of March 08. Yeah, Zhiping has agreed to take the 10km route with me and we gonna train together. So cool right! Apparently ZP can run ok!! Don play play ar! lol.. haha a huge challenge for me lor cos i can't run for NUTS!! Dunno y am i doing this also... haha

Alrights... i'll surely be tired today.
Good, wld be able to slp soundly tonite... like a baby... ^^
I will try to update my blog and hopefully change my blog skin SOON!!! =)

Bye peeps!! ^^

2008-02-18T23:35:00.002+08:00

Did i actually put on weight after CNY? I get comments everywhere that i became smaller size, thinner, this and that. But i also got some comments that i grew a lil meaty now. My face and arms. But i feel that my tummy is expanding too!! Omg! Worst of the worst area la! My clothes are also tighter, esp the shoulders area. Cos i became more built? Sigh...i totally don know man. I'll look like little man! Plus, I've been eating and intaking carbo like nobody's biz. My weight remains though...

But whatever it is, I'll just continue to exercise and stay fit and healthy. Must make full use of my lunch time. I must discipline myself to either, swim, jog or run during that hr! Of cos must control my "Carbo Monster" diet lor..

Its time to svc my hp. Happily left work at 6pm. Shared hor fun with my Canteen Mummy and met ZP at West Mall. The dumbiest thing that can happen is............. Y am i in West Mall M1 shop when i need to svc my hp that is under warranty???? I SHOULD GO TO A BLOODY NOKIA CARE CENTER LA ............ My gosh!

That was like the silliest thing that can happen and i din even realise until the lady at the Q-service counter told me "Oh Ms, this is a M1 shop for plans and hp purchasal, not service center". Surprisingly, all those who alrd knew my im gg to WestMall for servicing also din felt anything amiss. haha they are equally silly lor. YAY!! lol...it jus din occur to anyone la i guess. Darn! So so i gotta wait till this Fri then i can send for servicing again. Wasted precious time!

Disatisfied with my stupidity. Zp and i decided to binge on food. haha went to Pastamania and ordered a 7 inch pizza. Intially we wanted to order 10 inch, and lucky we didn't! haha... quantity was just right for us. It was our 1st time trying pizza at Pastamania! hehe nice nice...

Had a gal talk, laughed and joked and took pics! hehe was a fun dinner when we finally left at 9plus. Walked her back to her house nearby bus stop to wait for 187. OMg! We waited like 20 mins till the bus finally arrived! It's been quite some time since i last waited so long for a bus!

Oh well, enjoyable day today ^^

Hols over, work resumes..

2008-02-10T23:52:00.006+08:00

Hmm ..... CNY 2008 has somehow ended for most of us i guess. It officially ends for me. No more visitings in relatives houses. Now would just depends on friend's houses to get more Ang baos!!! lol.. Stayed home till its time for SAMBA technique class again! Gonna get killed..haha

But hey at least can shed of some calories out of sinful snacks, soft drinks and BA KUA!!!

As usual, class as aching but shiok! SAMBA is just so coool... i hope to train my upper half to be less stiff, more flex and lower half to be faster and cleaner in my steps and of cos to have CONTROL of my whole entire body!! It's tough la but determination's there to assure me no matter how long it takes. =)

Went to Samuel house for his 19th bday party after tech class. It's only the few of us BE who attended. Benji, Tim, Peiru, Victoria,Terry and I. His house was big and nice but located in a darn "wu lu" area. Well, all private houses are like that lor. His mum is a paino teacher and his elder bro plays the piano well too! So envious! I've always wanted to learn to play the piano or at least keyboard. Sigh.... after the day at my cousin's place when he played his keyboard at my request and i sang. Pestered him to teach me a few chords and the urge to learn again flooded me. Ate our fill there and left shortly at 10 plus. Slacked at a nearby playground and HOME SWEET HOME!

Did some thinking lately and felt like I've wasted my life away. I have not lived to the fullest yet. Or rather not spending my time wisely and poor management. I ought to do something abt it and yes i will start from picking back what I've used to do before than slowly upgrade myself. So yeah! I'm back to reading books again! Tks to Joyce who borrowed me 3 romance novels. =) Now i'm kinda glued to it haha.

Read till 230pm and reluctantly forced myself to turn in. If it hadn't been work tml, I'd have read thru the night! lol...Well for the past 3 days of visiting, i'll just let the photos do most of the talking! (actually uploading of pics are also a chore! Oh well, rene is jus beiong plain lazy la..haha we'll see)

Ratty's New Year Eve:

Anyway, she even cooked Kimchi Maggie mee for me and served me Yakult drink... lol! Good service huh? Lol ....

In the end still went to Orchard to get my white pants! Yay! and im done with my entire CNY last min shopping. All thanks to P.bag for helping me spend sooooooo much! haha...kidding! I had loads of fun together! =)

Bought Subway back for dinner, for mummy and sis too! 1st time me trying Italian BMT. Din really enjoy it cos it was soooooo salty and there wasn't any Honey Mustard left when it was my turn to order! "Temporary Out Of Stock" sticker was pasted on the signboard. =( So i tried the Southwest sauce. Still prefer Honey Mustard =p

Managed to do some last last min clearing of my cabinet too. Flipping thru all the greeting cards, letters and wishes that was like since 1996 i kept till now!! Gosh! Can't believe i kept till now.. I smiled at all the silly things being written when we were kids. Those were the days =) Memories.... haha

Back to work tml... for half day! haha... slack slack mood. I will update my blog more often... hopefully as my sleeping spells are kinda wearing off....hehe

Alrights, all set for CNY! "Gong xi fa cai"!! =)

2008-01-29T15:58:00.000+08:00

Feeling so tired in the morning
Just too lazy to wear my lens so i went to work with my purple specs!!
Amazingly, got many comments that i looked better with specs.... hmmm..
(or maybe just becos i'm wearing a matching purple top?)
Anyways, for my eye's sake, i might rotate ard my specs and lens too

Also managed to arrange some of my work today and kept myself occupied
Everybody like friends, dancemates, frens that i haven seen for a long time all said that I have either slimmed down, shrunk and my butt have down-sized!! Omg! Is it good or bad?
But my weight remains at 42kg and i still feel fleshy on my tummy.....

Benji just said that he realised my thighs became smaller too
Is it cos I'm finally engaging the right muscle group and dance or cos i haven't been dancing much? Anyway, i still eat and eat like nobody's biz + today's lunch was Joan's mum's cooking. The chicken was so so good! Yummy!

As i was telling zp abt my crazy thought of stopping dance, I was shocked myself to have this thought too. What's gotten over me? But till i voiced out, din know zp also shared the same thought. Sigh..
A Dancer's life is so complicated..lol

Celebrated Wilfred's belated and Puay San's advance bdays! Eat again!
Shortly after that was 6pm already
Still did not feel like gg home
Am i too used to not being home thats y im feeling this way or i just needed to be occupied?
I don't know...
So it was B.R.B again
Talked crap, ate and do stupid things .... well at least there was something to do
Hmm ... and i squeezed myself into a locker, big one of cos at SHS Block

Went home with Benji and ate dinner at home
Yawns...

Absolutely crappy day today

2008-01-28T17:58:00.000+08:00

Still feeling quite sucky when i woke up, thinking abt stuff and can't stop reprimanding myself..
Didn't had a good night slp..
In fact, I don even expect a GOOD slp... i only hope for a pleasant short rest
Cos i know i can't rest my mind at all

Noon was better....
Had lunch with Benn, Benji, Nick, Zhi Ping and Fly! (weird group huh? heex..)
We packet our food up to Blk E to eat
It was quite a nice feeling to eat there
Quiet and peaceful ... cooling
Shall be my consumption area for the next 1 year.. lol

~ Benji and his macaroni!~
~ NICK LONG AND HIS MACARONI!! MIRACLE FOR PRATAMAN....LOL~
~ And Me and my Macaroni.... sigh! did i really shrink or what? look at the visible bones =( ~

~ Bennerick eating his lunch, he must lean by the pillar cos he can't sit straight! He'll fall back! lol... That's what will happen if u have too tight muscles all over ya body!! lol...

~ Fly and his lappy... stoning~
~ "I'm cam shy! Don't take me" ...... MY FOOT! haha ping will nv be cam shy lor~
~ hahaha funny... Fly on floor and ping holding her slippers. hmm...trying to whack Fly? lol~
~ Nick listening to all the lameness going on~
~ One of my fav choc now! =) Thanks Teng Chung for helping me buy it. Like i said i'm always not fated to buy RitterSport choc! ~

A healthier diet!!
Nick, Benji and I came up with a little eating-control itinerary
Duration: 1 month
With effect from: 28 Jan - 28 Feb 2008
Agreement terms: STRICTLY NO PRATA (in or outta NYP)
Mac- twice a week
No soft drinks

Then we'll slowly cut down on carbo and eat more fruits and veg.... Slowly
1st time ever i see Nick eating MACARONI SOUP! It's a miracle...lol

Well, lunch was so entertained by Fly & Nick when they both crapped and have never ending cold LAME but funny jokes to tell! Laughed our heads off but of cos the ULTIMATE clown was still ......ME! (darn...)

Was so so so slow in catching one of Fly's irritating dirty joke. The famous ant, cave, snake and venom joke! And all my silliest moments and plain blank facial expression was all captured down on video by MR NICK LONG! And i seriously agree that u must really learn how to control ya laughter. haha..

Went back to work and managed to clear some of my work as planned. Finally.... =)
I need to occupy myself.. i seriously need to.. I'll go mad!
Managed to get 3 days OFF IN LIEU to do spring cleaning for sickening CNY. Sigh..

Stayed back after work
For what? I dunno initially..
Then i just got my heels down to dance.. then Anna came and we talked. Anyway, actually i din feel like dancing too.. Weird.

Then something upsetting happened too...
Sigh..
All these are eating me up...
Series of unhappy events happening one after another
Like a never ending chain reaction that goes on and on and on...
Till i can't feel my own emotions anymore..
I can't feel right...

I wanna run away

From everything else

and be alone...........

Alone... right maybe i should

its so irony
As much as i hate and dread being alone, i realise i need to be alone too... *sniffs*

I'm staying!! Hooray!

2008-01-22T23:53:00.001+08:00

Hey peeps!

My contract as a ASDO has been renewed! Which means I'll have another year in NYP! Hmmm....long service award huh? lol... Well, it seems that I've grown to be so attatched to NYP. Hey, I'm a sentimental person kie.... =p

Agnes and Edelweis was so excited when they saw an A4 sized envelope from HR to me. Got me to immediately open the envelope and when they saw what's written on it, they exclaimed and went "YES!!! Congratulations!" and i was hugged by Agnes. haha... i admit almost had happy tears but it seems like they are more excited and happy for me! Heex... i couldn't stop smiling.

Mum and sis was happy for me too when i broke the news. Although i rejected Szehui's offer for a position in her company, she was happy for me too cos I'm happy! haha.. I'm mad. Well, i guess everyone else is happy for me! Thanks all. And i believe the rest out there are also in a way happy that i'm staying! lol.. okies!

Nitey!!

1st BE outing at ECP!! Fun!! =)

2008-01-19T23:47:00.000+08:00

Feeling all so tired in the morning. Couldn't open my eyes! Body refuse to move, legs refuse to walk, brain refuse to listen!!

For the 1st time, Rene skipped BE prac!! It was a "nua-Waltz" lesson today. I reached only at 11am and class ended at 1130am...hehe. The only Sat that I nv dance at all! OMG...its a MIRACLE! But its kinda cool...come to think of it! Finally, a break.. ...

Class ends and its time for a day's playout in EAST COAST PARK! Yays!

~ Nice weather. Looks pretty dark and cloudy but thank God it didn't rain*smilez*~
~ Yay! Group pic with our little bicycles and skates! hehe ~
~ Another group pic! Taken when we were all done cycling and abt to return~
~ Lin and her 2 body guards! Ooooh..how lucky..both left and right. Lol~
~ Lin learning how to skate! Taking baby steps hehe ~
~ Hmm... starting to get the hang of it. Actual fact: Lin is clinging on so tightly lor!! Lol~
~ Guess whose legs are these? Samuel and Rene! ~
~ Whoa! Look at Lin's face! She was abt to fall lor..hehe~
~ IT'S HUMAN THROWING TIME! 1, 2 , 3 .............into the sea!! ~
~ 2nd victim on the way!! Poor Lin... hehe~
~ No use screaming gal... I can's save you too! Almost got myself thrown too! Lucky i had my electronic devices with me. My digi cam and hp! Heng ar.............Lol~
~ And Lin Lin is on her way fast...... see the sea? ~
~So is Ms Fishball (Peiru) Wow look at the 4 guys carrying her..looks like she weighs a ton lor haha~

~ "help...... i'm so helpless!! lol...~
~ Preparing for the big throw!! Holding Peiru up high. Look! She's elbowing Benji's head!! ~
~ It's Ms Weilin's turn...haha~
~ Peiru trying to retrieve back her slippers.... haha~~ How can Peter miss out throwing anyone to the sea? Gotcha Weilin!!~

~ pouts! We are all WET!! ~
~ Lin Lin and Me!! ~
~ haha Mr Pressi Bennerick..... big head small body. Look like tweety bird haha...~
~ Wow..looks cool huh. Biker! What's in his bag? His gear? haha...its all his BBQ stuff...lol~
~ Attempting to catch hold of Peter and throw him in the sea! HE'S LIKE A WORM,TRYING TO WRIGGLE HIS WAY FREE! looks like he is doing some kinda stunt. Crazy man!! haha~

Benn and I reached 1st and we spent an hr by the rocks in the sun, sea and breeze, waiting for the rest to arrive. It's been a long time since my last visit to the beach, relaxing like that. Nice feeling!! =) We had some great food at the ECP Food Center (near the water-sports arena) And of cos...not forgetting the corny techno CNY songs!! so funny lar...lol

It's exercise time!! Everyone else rented bicycles and I'm on my blades. But ........... my buckles snapped! *sniffs* Rented a pair in the end $10/2 hrs. Quite worth it. I was Weilin's blading Shifu for the day....taught her and she learnt really fast and well! =) No doubt she fell a few times and hung on to Samuel and I real hard and using us to support her entire weight!! OMG.... i think Samuel and my arms were more aching than our legs!! lol...but its damn fun! The skaters of the day was ........... Rene, Benji, Samuel and Weilin! (Bennerick was supposed to be one of us but he went home halfway to change and back with his bicycle instead!! Grrrrr.......)

Played some ball games like beach volleyball and "land-water-polo" haha. So fun!! Benn and Peter were pro at playing and rcving it singled-hand, well at least compared to the rest of us...lol.. Was so nice and cool! And the disaster was Weilin!! Screaming away and giving all sorts of funny poses! Benji was right to capture snapshots of her whenever she catches the ball. haha so funny la. Hmm...Partner Mel did not come and join us cos was raining at his side and my blades broke so can't blade with him. =(

Highlight of the day was........ Throwing WEilin and Peiru into the sea and attempting to throw PETER into the sea! See the pics to get a better picture! =)

Evening arrives! Slowly all left...some to S&G, some back home. The survivors were Me, Benji, Tim, Samuel and Konrad. Went to eat Subway and then Star gazing at one of the beach rocks! All of us laid down and talked cock. Was kinda cool!

Went back office to get my latin heels for tml tech class and went home. I got sunburn!!!!! hehe.. Next week Rene is going to start keeping fit and tone up. Gonna swim, jog, stretch etc.... =)
Tireds... I guess tml will be aching and all...

Rene enjoyed herself totally today! Tks Bennerick pressi for organising! More to come.......!! Nites! Hugs and bites to all...... Zzzzzzzzz

Sniffs

2008-01-16T12:06:00.000+08:00

Rene is feeling so rotten.. bad and... .... ... upset
She is angry with herself too....
She has fallen...
once again...

It has happened before
It is happening again .... maybe a more serious one this time
At a lost....
What to do?

Can she deal with it this time?
Not fall and be strong?
Or be strong after fall?

She is fearful and uncertain. Sighs......

*Let time tell and heal the pain*
"ming tian hui gen hao" =)

It's Christmas Eve...

2007-12-24T15:33:00.000+08:00

tick tock.... tick tok.... tick tick tok...
Time is slowly passing by...
It's Christmas Eve..
To Christmas....
but..... It's just another day.....

Here i am sitting in front of my lousy computer, posting my entry for the fufilling weekend i had.
It's gonna be a real long entry......
just felt a sudden gush of emptiness, flashbacks of previous Christmas, happy and unhappy memories .... sigh... what made me feel this way? thinking abt so many things now...
was a rough 2007 for me. seems to get worse every year. i hope to get a 360 switch for upcoming 2008..... i'll continue to hope for... =)

jus an sms made me feel so bad again... i'm still the cause of everything .... i still feel ...
an encounter that might turn my life ard for the better or worse in the long or short run...
an argument that can really sets me off.....
a competition that caused much happenings ......
a decision that triggered the happenings....
All these from a person... who experiences it all this moment
Myself.

Kies... i admit. I'm so so worried for 29Dec comp i don't know why. Din even feel this way for LION CITY. I know i've put in much effort and time in this. I want this to happen. I wana do well. I know i will ... jus not up to what i expect. I wana do well for Peter, Belman, Myself, Mel and BE! I hope i won't disappoint anyone... I will be greatly affected by the outcome of this comp , whatever it is ..... but then again i think again...why sld i be? Stop contradicting yourself Rene!

No worries peeps. What was written above may sound as if something serious has happened to me but nope.... jus felt like venting out my feelings now and always trying hard to describe the indescribable feelings that i always have. What am i saying? lol.... This is me. Full of nonsense... Pardon me..

Alrites, back to my day today! Mel is finally back from VIETNAM! With no wife!! yay!! haha...Well but was really sad that i couldnt prac with him cos he has plans. Sigh...worried! Enjoyable mini pot luck Xmas party in office today =) Mini one yet super filling!! Look at the pics later..haha. Also rcved many pressies from colleagues! Loved Chin Kwong's and Agnes pressies best! A Lime green mini pillow from IKEA and a T-shirt that reads "Men have feelings too (Just kidding)" Thanks! I love all the pressies =)

The person that made my day was little Larissa! So so adorable and she likes me! haha...totally fun playing with her. Tks to Mel, Benn, Lin, Dex and Pauline for clearing up the food! Lol.. Met up with Peter, Konrad and Zhiping in Orchard for some lil shopping. Din get anything though...so freaking crowded! Giving me a headache and Zp and I left at 7plus. Ate dinner with Mummy =)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

It's a PH! Yay!

2007-12-18T22:29:00.000+08:00

Another day of prac in S&G! Good prac we both felt. Environment is better and we got practically the entire studio to ourselves for both Monday and today. There were so many little kiddy couples today! SOOoooo cute! I'm gonna send my kids to learn dance from young man!! hehe... Bennerick, Yee Shan and Peter came too!! =)

Belman is one crazy MONSTER!! He teaches the kids like a loud lunatic! Screaming at the top of his lungs with enormous killer eyes and body posture that's gonna kill any moment. Using an umbrella to chase the kids and hit their little legs during their routine. OMG!! but it works lar...and at the end of the day, the kids still LOVE him. Just love watching him teach!hehe... Oh but this sickening man crushed my water bottle! So sickening! Still licked my entire bottle head and threw it at me! OF cos i donated it to the dustbin.

Then he wanted to fart on a student of his and tried to burn Melvin with his lighter yesterday! He's is one mad fellow!!! lol...but was quite happy with the comments he gave us! =) And good that he looked and fixed our rumba in styling wise. Phew~!

Mel left at 6pm and i was freaking hungry!! Ate in Long John with Mr President, Bennerick! Sick still wana steal my fried chicken and eat! HAha had a good chat and laughed like crazy again as usual.

Sigh! I feel for Peter, I blame myself so much. I dunno why. I think i was the cause of what triggered the matter to happen ,and yes ..... leaving NYP. Yes. Benn was right ( i know u are reading my blog) I was affected. But what's done is done. This could be one of my biggest mistake. Anyway, I'm glad Peter is still with us, me .... and will always be.

I wana do well in this comp and not disappoint him! I WILL and BE will do it! =)

Went to M5 Collection again and saw so many nice dance wear! I wana go shopping soon and buy many dance prac skirts, tops and accessories!! hehe.. Must start to look more professional in dance liao... what Belman told me today. Commented on my nice top (which Mel side i look like a crocodile! -_ -") but look shabby cos i wore a sports bra inside! KNS!

Went Office to settle some stuff! Quarrel starts again! Sigh i.... dunno wad to say! Well, just smile RENE!

Rene needs to get a desktop com too!! Stupid com sucks to the core. Anyone has any good and affordable recommendation pls let me know! =) Guess my bonus is gonna be well-spent this time. Sigh.... When can i ever save up???

I need to start thinking of getting a Life, say a more interesting life instead! Not that i don like mine now but it just revolves ard DANCE. But definitely I'll not forgo dance to pursue something else. I'm gonna add in some more spice in my life, trying out diff things and not hesitate! Not getting any younger. LOL...i mean if not now, then when? Life is too short, live hard and play hard! Not when u are old with sickness and all!! =)

Entry for the weekend

2007-12-17T02:21:00.000+08:00

So pissed with my home comp.... its now 230am i the morning.....

~ Madeline and I!! Taken in Funan IT Mall's KFC~
~ Close up one... SMILEZ!! Taken by Partner Mel! ~

Sunday (16/12/07) : Slept till 10plus today! SHIOK! BUt entire body was aching like mad....feels like i'm an 80 year old lady. Ouch! Updated up my resume for better future job opportunities =) i could then finally eat a simple home-cooked lunch b4 gg S&G for dance prac. Gosh! I couldn't rem the last time i had home-cooked food. Tasted so good!~
It shows..... Bad gal, Rene!

Practice was not too bad as we nailed down things to work on again. Then came along this kid couple whom Belman named them "Chicken & Duck"(so sickening la he....but funny hehe) They were at most between 6 to 8 years old! So freaking cute and GOOD! They were like little energy-bunnies and danced all 3 dances back to back non-stop! Mel and I cant even do that lor.... *throw face* Belman named them the "next rising world champion" Lol.. Belman really has a way to deal with any individual. Be it gender, age, sizes, character etc.... he deals with them. Watching him using stickers to stick the kid's face,hands, legs and all while dancing to remind them of looking up, standing up straight and getting rid off flimsy hands was just so funny.

Technique class was abt "shaping" today. Good and beneficial lecture.
1) MAke a statement
2) Shaping is how u CREATE a step to something else
3) To shape creates a meaning and purpose of doing it, it MUST make sense

Many more theory but I'll just state the main ones.. Lol... So much to work on!
Went to KFC for dinner with Mel and Madeline.3 of us purchased "Student Meals"! Lol...sickening Mel said we tried to "act student" Was a super fun dinner as we chatted abt dance and all. Madeline is so funny in the way she talks.......... SO RANDOM!! OMg! Mel and I had a good laugh man! Ooohh and we came across this really nice and cool shop that sells very very nice skirts and dresses that can really be Latin costumes or any performance costumes!! Prices are quite affordable too! Gonna buy some stuff from there soon liao!!! =)

Damn computer is still pissing me off. Delaying all my work that i gotta do during my long leave! Sigh...nth i can do abt it. I need to slp now! Time is 3.22am now!! YAWNZ...

*Shall continue Sat and Fri entry soon...... Funny blog entrys by silly Rene right? To blog past dates...Lol cos i always got either no time or energy to blog daily.......I'll die......... *

2007-12-11T01:37:00.000+08:00

Yes it almost 2am and I can't get to slp yet... though feeling tired
Hmmm... back to work after a long weekend from last Thur till Sun (right after Orion)

~I NEED A BREAK~

Consolidating photos for OpenHouse 2008 poster design today. Lina was in super high crazy mood today. Going mad after getting a cute Jay Chuo's song from Jinlong. haha...went to PS to get her 4-leaf clover and ate LONG JOHN SILVERS!! Very 1st time I ate LONG JOHN SILVERS with Lina and Joan! Was out for almost 3 hrs!! =p

Prac today was hmmm... dunno what to say. Salsa i still needs alot more work esp my shines. Then Peter did rounds with us. All Tertiary couples, team-match couples, Grade E, D and C. Upon completion of our 3 routines...felt that it was crappy. Sigh... can't wait to see the video to know how cock we look. But then, of cos we'll IMPROVE from there!! Left at 1120pm from school. Shared cab back with Peiru and Tim.....so so ex la! Abt the same time too...will nv wana take a cab outta pure laziness again!!
DON'T BE LAZY RENE!

Yawnz..... tireds..... ZZzzzzzzzzzzz........

I have duck toes!! lol........

2007-12-09T22:58:00.000+08:00

Was late for prac in S&G today...reached only at 315pm and prac for 4 hours only. Fun and beneficial prac today I would say =) Thanks to Peter again who came and enlightened us for Rumba. His guidance always helped and has immediate effect for us to work on. Hmm... mostly for Mel lar, (cos he always aims guys der..lol) But at least the pointers really helped Mel looked much better!! Not like a log anymore =p whoops~~And Peter was so excited abt his new toy, iTouch. It's really soooooo cool!! Showing us all the functions of it and all his pics....like a little kid lor. Lol.. That's our Peter!

We left at 830pm and ate Subway for dinner! =) I LOVE SUBWAY
Grandpa came to stayover for a week. Means I'll have to be banglah and slp on the floor (of cos got mattress la...) hehe but nvm, I quite like it..hahas

Sat: Did "Salsa Clasequando", partnered Mel and just "smoke" my way all thru the whole dance!! haha totally forgotten, never learn and just let Mel lead.. haha but still needa learn my shines! No problem lar....!! Small case! When Peter called for us to do all 3 routines, I freaked out! Dunno why. Was freaking pale white after i finished our Chachacha. Gosh! Scary. Bad performance for all 3! No stamina, no energy. Sigh...how to go Grade C like that?

Peter called 3 cabs for all seniors for our Slow foxtrot lesson. Was late!!

WM was quite fun too. Although never prac Ballroom at all since previous week. I thought I'll forget everything, but still quite ok,managed to catch back. Ate at hawker center then went Library to wash up again!!! hahaha Caren followed us and the 3 of us crapped together.

Went to 5th storey of Brass Basah Complex to slack!! It was an opened area playground plus it so windy! Nice weather to compliment a big compound! What more could we ask for for a slacking session =) Just a few kids playing away nosily. Had a great laugh when Mel tried to balance himself to slp on a narrow plank of balancing beam at the playground. Kept falling off!! Was so so funny and Caren mis-pronouncing Jesus as "Jee-chers" LOL...Mel and I laughed till our tummys hurt!!

Finally!! 630pm! Prac nite at S&G begins. Wasted no time and danced. Whacked our routine and invited many "spectators" watching us when we were "killed" by Belman again. in Just 10 mins on fixing a particular part of our chacha routine was enough to kill us! Sweat like crazy. My thighs, arms, shoulders, neck and toes were already sore. But was all SHIOK! We can do it!! By the end of prac nite at 1115pm! Mel and I left the studio with duck toes. So red and distorted...haha.

Fri: ~ Off in-lieu ~ =) Came for prac at 6pm till 11pm. Peter checked our Chacha routine. Benefited from it again. But needa really work on alot alot on it. No accent in walks, messy and unstable legs, not sharp enough, playfulness, connection. Sigh! But no worries Rene, just Jiayou kie! =)

Tragedy... Life is so fragile..... deeply saddened

2007-11-26T12:42:00.000+08:00

The news struck me.....
The confirmation shocked me.....
The feeling saddened me.......
Deeply............

Knowing Reuben was one of the 5 dragonboat rowers who passed on in the Cambodia tragedy really was an undescribable feeling. A person whom i've idolised since 2004 "A musical journey through time" Always the best pianist in my heart..then and forever.

Reuben was such a fine young man. Tall, dark , charming, fit, cheerful , talented and easy going. Although i've only known him for a short period, he's such a nice guy, always smiling. Looking at the posters designed by Reu outside my office saddened me..... tears just flow down my cheeks. Atmosphere in the office was "stale" and quiet.

Back again...

2007-11-25T15:02:00.000+08:00

Preparing to go Jas po's hse for make up for tonight's event, our poly classmate, Amelia's wedding at Marina Mandarin. And of cos our make up artist is none other than BENJI!! U the MAN! =) Looking forward to this wedding dinner with the good food and meeting back our group of friends =) Just one darn thing that dampen my mood.... a freaking big pimple on the left of my nose!! *eeks* Lol...

Wet back to NYP with Jia to get my heels for tonight's dinner! Darn, i seem to leave every single thing in office. Like my 2nd home, in fact 1st home?? Lol.. Took Benji's make up kit home. Freaking heavy la.. Mum's so funny when she saw me holding the kit and said " Why u became magician le huh?" It's for 2 days of being back together again after a month, probably the only last shot to work things out. If things works, then good for both. If not, then it's gone for good. No one can predict the future so we'll see.

Prac was good in S&G and we managed to see some "light" in our tough routine. Trying hard to link and dance out a story line. I jus hope that we can feel each other more in our dancing esp Rumba. I can't seem to engage with Mel on that, just a weird feeling. Sigh.. Felt kinda bad not gg over to junior Victoria's bday as promised. Guess i really label dance on top of everything else. Dunno why i feel so shaky for this comp and not confident at all. Sigh.. just hope all our efforts will bring us some results. Jiayou!

Peter broke the news to BE today abt his term with NYP ends. Making Sat (24/11/07) his last official lesson with us. I have many mixed feelings to that. I admit i'm kinda affected by it too. Guess only Josh will understand how I feel cos we've been thru together the transition period from not having Peter to having Peter and lastly....."losing" him again. Why must things in life always be having one matter to off-set another?

Anyway, it's been a really rocky and "turbulence-experiencing" year end for 2007. What's ahead is still very vague and can only take things slow to see what happens after every step.

Feeling rotten

2007-11-22T23:31:00.000+08:00

Went for a short 4 rounds jog at the tracks with Benji and did some stretching after that. Wow..revived again! Shiok! BUt then, ate 1 plain and 1 kosong prata for lunch!! hehe lol... ALL NO MORE LIAO, OFFSET what i've burnt off =p

MEt up with Victor (sis fren) at city hall and went s&g to settle private payment. Bought a novel for just $2! Cheap =) Then after settling our digi cam issue, we went to Marina's foodcourt for our dinner. NIce jap food they have there and most imptly....it's at a reasonable price!! =)

My day was okay till a phone call spoiled my entire day. It's Peter's last day in SA today. I was shocked when Allison told me out of the blue.

Yes, although i know this will happen sooner or later, but i didn't expect it to be so soon. Sigh.. i duno, seems like its so hard to accept. And i think it all escalated to this verdict was ALL BECAUSE OF ME! I brought this upon things to happen this way. It's just so sucky. Am feeling so so rotten now.... Is not a good feeling at all.

Totally affected.........

Rene, this time u are a big screw up!!

I seriously dunno what to say anymore

Orion Auditions

2007-11-21T22:19:00.000+08:00

I've been feeling so so tired lately, having probs waking up...
Why is it so?
I've been trying to turn in early, in fact by 1am but still I feel like I can't wake up
Why is it so?
..... like my body is telling my brain not to wake up

Ended up kept reaching office late these few days esp ytd when i reached only at 10am. Well, cos Mon's BE prac ended abt 11pm and i reached home only at 1230am! LAST TRAIN.
BUT..... prac was so so so shiok! Perspired till my whole top was drenched!!!! (wore my new heels again =p) Too bad can't really prac much with Mel already cos of his school work and projs and all. Sigh...oh wells, can't be helped! But cannot SLACK, Rene!! BE DISCIPLINED AND PRACTICE YOURSELF!

Orion auditions went quite well today i must say, despite the last minute decision and not really well prepared planning and limted manpower. Got quite a few quality singers and I'm so proud of quite a couple of my Stagearters juniors! WELL DONE to Amin, Shakirah, Eunice and Espall!! =) All the best for your results! Anticipating for the next round of auditions this Friday!

Ate prata with Lin and Pauline after 6pm (so lucky to be the last one to order...hehe craving for PRATA) Went to Bishan with Joan and bought SUBWAY back for Mummy to eat!! Hmmm feels so so weird to be taking the train back at such a hour. So early to be going home but hey be a good girl for once, Rene! Mum needs company too! Yupp, i must not be selfish and neglect my loved ones. Mummy, I LOve U!

Aim to slp early tonight By 12am!!! Let's see.... =)
Nite and Bites peeps......

Entry for 20/11/07 (Tue) : Crapped with Belman
It's Bennerick and Caren's private lesson with Belman for their Chahca routine today. Hmm.. went over to S&G with them to see if I'll be able to see their routine and help them in any way or not. Self prac also!! I must say overall their session was not bad, could see improvement though pace was a little slow. Caren, don't be stressed!! It's all written all over your face! =p BUt Belman was happy so yeah...jiayou!

Did some self prac, basics and weight placement. Hmm.. mood wasn't really there so i decided to do some stretching. Sickening Belman caught me off-guard and came over and literally sit on me when i was doing my leg stretches!! OUChhh!! And he happily sat on me and continued counting "2,3,4....1" for Ben and Caren's routine. Grrrrr........ And he continued doing that for so many times....Darn! Split in 2 weeks time for Mel and I was the goal he set for us. -_-"

Sat and chatted at a coffeshop downstairs with him and Caren too. Showed us video of him filming himself practicing at 3AM in studio!! MAdness!! Then he pulled out all his certificates, report card, pics and newspaper cuttings of him last time for us to see. Gawd! He really can't study, failed almost all his subjects!! Hehe...got to know so much more abt him and what an interesting life story/past he has. Darn Funny too! But some really unbelievable and creepy that Caren and I still dunno whether to believe him or not. hahas..

One stupid thing was while we were chatting halfway, he suddenly said "All day i dream about Sex"
I was like....."huh?" and stared blankly at him
And he goes "Yeah look, you're wearing it" (points to the jacket i was wearing)
On my left breast pocket was Adidas which means:

All
Day
I
Dream
About
Sex

OMG! Lame right!! But he keeps saying that's how Adidas got its name. Was by a lady who thought of this name. Now it's your call guys.
Do U believe IT?

Took a train back with him and we invited many stares in the train too. Hmm generally was a relaxing time to get to know more abt my instructor off dance. =) Lol... He's still a crapper lar... And he's only one yr older than me but still looked like someone in his thirties! Well, Caucasians!

Enjoyable and fulfilling day spent

2007-11-18T23:11:00.000+08:00

3 quality things i did today!!

1) Yupp i slept till 10am!
2) Yupp i finally trimed my hair!
3) Yupp i bought my 3rd pair of Latin heels from Cindini! (Finally a 2.75 inch,dark reddish brown and most IMPTLY........ it's tight and FITS) And it costs $105, including heel protector!
*Sigh.. can eat grass for 2 months liao

Jia accompanied me to Cindini, then ate Mac cos we're rushing for time! Sigh...just recovered from my sickness but we're left with not much choice of eatery near the station.Weird thing now is that, things are taking a step to another level & i'm actually feeling differently. Not sure what that means but yeah, we'll see how things goes.

Private lesson with Belman again!! RUMBA!! My favourite =)
Got a total of abt 25 bars only and both Mel and I felt that it was pretty tough in the beginning cos of the tricks and stuff.

Belman said " This has never ever been done before, TRY IT!"

He's always thinking of crazy stuff for us and make us do things out of his own creation... oh well, but it's all looking great so we'll try our very best to do it! It's a pity that we ended 1 hr sharp cos he still had class after us. So cool when he tried to describe the "story of our routine" to match our movements (eg. the coming towards and leaving, away of the male and female role) But its so freaking funny when we tried to "relate and link the story" ourselves. We were pratcically commanding each other with words like "Come in! Away! I want..... I don't want!" before each move. So idiotic la..lol...but at the same time fun. Well, this is what i like abt rumba cos u gotta feel it to dance it, then create it and move together with it. It's tough.... well isn't what's that all abt? IT'S DANCESPORT! =)

Mel left early with his fren but left behind MEE FEN for me!! Lol... but guess it was left out for too long and turned kinda sour. But HECK lar, was freaking hungry after Belman's technique class! Plus my legs and toes were freaking painful (my new heels =p) Everyone in studio were like commenting "Oh my god, smells bad!" "What's that smell?" and Belman went "Gosh, the studio smells of stinky socks" -_ -" WTH! Still i finished the entire pkt. hahas...

Fun part was when I was abt to leave studio. Belman shouted my name "RENE, come over here" And in i went into his class of Ang Mohs that are all freaking TALL. He needed an assistant to help him in his Salsa and Jive class so i partnered him. SO funny lar, i'm basically dancing with his chest all the way!! Eye level mah..haha. HAd FUn and he led me for Salsa and spun me for his so so so so so many rounds till i really couldnt stand on my feet! Sickening!

What an enjoyable day spent! =)

Sinfonia 2007 was great!!

2007-11-16T23:14:00.001+08:00

I'm Sick sniffssniffs*

2007-11-15T14:41:00.000+08:00

Darn, what a day! Really fell ill. Down with a dry throat, caught a cold and slight fever... Sighs..

Feels horrible... totally got no mood to do anything at all. Recently, have been feeling so so so cold anywhere, everywhere. I'm not a person that is afraid of the cold. But now i can practically sleep thru the night without turning on the fan at all. This is SO NOT RENE. Lol....

Very agonising day and not only me. Lina and Ivan were also starting to get sick and showing symptoms of sneezing and coughing. Totally got no mood to do work, speak or anything. Sigh..
Actually was supposed to have private with Belman today but he called to postponed to Sunday. Hmm... guess it was a better choice too cos i doubt it'll be a very wise idea to stress my mind and body at this state.

Sinfonia rehearsal in Audi and being Nai ma for my dear singers Farhanah and Shahirah. Sigh.. need to have a good rest today. Yupp! Pop a medicine, slp early and yeah...BRAND NEW START TOMORROW!!

Last week of lunchtime concert!!! Yipee!! =)

2007-11-14T20:09:00.000+08:00

~ Me and my dear student emcees (Felicia and Teng Chung) ~

~ Us again (self-taken by me of cos...lol) ~

~ Hmmm.. this is taken by Felicia (good try) =p ~

~Phew! ~ Finally, Lunchtime concert is over! Everything went well, crowd was there cos mainly it was Foreign Bodies performance slot. Vesper Cheerleading also drew in the 1st batch of crowd by their nice outfit and punctuality. Good! Thanks Amin for buying me 3 BANANAS!! Lol... and also Emcee Teng Chung for your Starfruit juice =) Well, got a freaking bad throat after ytd's SOLID Session's refreshments of chicken wings. I just pray not to fall ill pls, i can't afford to!! Must stay strong, Rene...sighs..

Met up Shahirah and Farhanah to try out some costumes for Sinfonia 2007 this Fri. After much discussion, the girls needed to buy their stuffs ASAP! Brought them out to shop!!!!!!!!!!!! Managed to purchase whatever needed and took a cab back to NYP. Tiring trip plus me not feeling well..sigh. Reached NYP only at 5plus and ate my LUNCH!! Well, reckon that I need rest.. I will go home early to rest today. Yupps! Needa recharge at least a little before our private session with Belman only at 930pm! Still got Sinfonia's reh... Oh wells, tired to update anymore!

Nites all..

S&G craze....lol

2007-11-11T14:16:00.000+08:00

Wow!! 4 days in a row dancing my ass off in S&G. Feeling was sooooo good!! Here goes:

Thur (8/11) : Chacha private lesson with Belman@ 730pm! (after waiting for 2 hrs plus and kena drilled some basics by PETER while waiting... painful la but beneficial! hehe thanks Peter!! =) ) Coolness, managed to complete the whole routine of 42bars!!! *smiles* Both Mel and I were quite happy abt the routine. Just that Mel didn't really like some of his parts cos he feels he looks disgusting. Lol...but seriously this chacha routine presents the ladies more. I'm like dancing all over,moving like a crazy hamster over a "vertical looking wheel" hehe.. but hey it's challenging!! WE LIKE! My neck and shoulder area ached like "siao" cos of a silly but nice stunt that Ding Dang Ren wanted us to do initially but failed. I'm supposed to lie flat sideways (on my right) on both of Mel's legs (with him standing up) Cling onto him (right leg hook on and both arms back-hook to his right leg) body presenting to the audience. hmmmm...sounds weird huh? Can visualise? Can imagine? For those who can, Good. For those who don't, sorry can't help u. That's the best i can describe.

The crazy part was, Mel's supposed to pivot my entire body on his left leg and spin one full round with me (full body weight) on his 2 legs! Madness. Sounds impossible? Nothing is impossible. Cos we could almost do it with Belman's help... erm once. =) But anw, it was scraped out eventually. ~Phew~ Generally, we enjoyed the session and crapped with Belman till abt 11pm then left studio! Pengz! Showed us his Facebook a/c.... haha funny la he. And some really really cool pics of him man! Can see that he really hate SMSes,esp when he gets loads of them after all his classes and has to reply all. He was pissed while sitting at the counter clearing his sms and just said "I HAte humans..... I Hate Humans!" haha....funny can. Mel and I just grinned silently. And when he's done! He just blurted out "I'm HORNY, I need sex!! " *Faintz* So random la can!! GUess he's really stressed, after witnessing his non-stop classes for the entire day.

Oh oh and one more thing..... even after 9 months he's been in Spore, He's NEVER EVER EVER tasted a grain of rice or a strand of noodle before!!!! In his entire life!! OMG!!!

Shagged.... tireds

Fri (9/11) : Prac with Mel during his break in E313 for a short 45mins! I'm glad we did that cos we'd have forgotten and wasted time in S&G later when we prac there. Oh wells, prac went well and we were told to show all our 3 dances in front of Belman ..... also Lin and Dex too. Basically we took turns. Jovin actually commented on our Rumba is better. Hmm.... weird. Wow! Was tiring man!! Gracious Me!! Must train up stamina man! Still struggling with our chacha routine , esp the sickening "on-spot ballerina turn" for 2 bars. Sigh! No worries Jia You! Also left studio at abt 11pm. TIREDS BUT SHIOK!!

Sickening Belman asked me "Why do u wear this?" (pointing to my black leg warmers) And I looked at quiet Mel and ans "Erm...to keep my legs warm? To make 'em look longer?" He looked at me and said "It's good to wear 'em cos they make your legs noticeable." As simple as that, darn. Silly me! Then he laughed and asked me to pull my leg-warmers all the way down to my cover my heels. Naturally, they became shorter beneath my kness and he said "Why are they so short? It should be higher, higher" (to the thighs)

I asked "Why?"

Belman replied " Cos that's the way it should be, that's how leg-warmers are supposed to be worn."

.......... ......... ..........

Sat (10/11) : Was slightly late for 15mins for BE prac. Lucky got Auditions 1st.... Hmmm went quite well. Welcome the 2 gentlemen and 2 ladies to La Ballroom En Masse. Suddenly back to Standard feels a little weird, after doing so much Latin. Even wearing my ballroom shoes feels so weird. Lol..

Back to Michell&Why Pong studio again to dance is so so nice (of cos its all cos of Why Pong Lao Shi!) Big group we had and my partner was Lil Fir =) However still learnt basic Foxtrot with Mel. Lol... After Waltz class at 4pm, we wet to our fav toilet in Bugis, National Library to wash up!!! Lol.. wash face only la! So lame! Locked our bags in locker for less than 5 mins and left cos Mel cldn't find any info on Guardian Pharmacy. Went S&G prac again! Studio was pretty packed today! As usual, we wasted no time, "chope" a space of our own and prac, dance, whack the rest! Lol... "New members" came today! Bennerick (with his new Latin pants and shoes), Paulino (she look so HOT in her yellow spag with that nice tan and Grrr....her sexy leopard print skirt), Tim and Victoria!!(the forever cute couple) heez. Belman then did the usual and splited us into 2 heats, each did 2 rounds of chacha and rumba. When Jive arrived, we were both shagged and can't even kick properly. Basically, 30% strength left to dance. Overall, happy for today and hopefully more NYP couples can start gg S&G to prac! Left again only at 11plus! Ate supper (prata) with Tim and mummy! haha... NYP's prata still better. YAwns.. gotta slp early!

Sun (11/11) : Slept late again till 10plus. I love Sunday mornings! =) Ate breakfast with Mummy then met up Jas Po at 415pm in Bugis! Got my leg-warmers ($15.90 so ex!! From Citrux Sox) but din managed to find a skirt. I'M SO BROKE !!Wana plan to go Cindini sometime next week... Hmm plan to take Thurs off! lol.. Went S&G abt 745pm and made full payment finally!! Gawd!! So so so so damn bloody broke now!! Did some self-prac and basics and left shortly. Always feels better to have your partner for prac. But still must be individually strong! So gals out there, pls pls train yourselves up INDIVIDUALLY! It only benefits U!!! TRUST ME! Sigh.... When can we get our Rumba routine?? Wana fix up our last private with Belman so we'll have time to prac and prac and prac and prac the routine till we're so familiar with it so we'll have no worries ler..money$ money$ money$ again! Really don't know how long can I continue Dancesports. Doesn't look very promising to me. Well, a step at a time ba. Met up with Jia for dinner at Long John Silvers and Home.Sweet. Home!! =)

Wow! freaking long entry here...hahas... gg to listen to all the Latin songs Madeline saved for me ler. High high high!! Nites all!

Happy Deepavali ~ Hooray! Its a Public Holiday! =)

2007-11-08T23:46:00.000+08:00

Had breakfast with dear Mummy today and had a little chat with her. Sigh.. actually i felt kinda bad that it's a PH but i chose to schedule dance instead of keeping her company. Rene, u'll have to learn to prioritise. Family still comes 1st! Esp this crucial period!

Left home at 1130am to meet Mel for prac @DanceArts with Peter. Saw Adeline from UG and her team of dancers. DAmn POWER!!! OMG!! They danced like a whole bunch of energy bunnies!! Showed Peter our Jive routine and reveived quite positive feedbacks and pointers! Jia you!! Gotta work hard!

Mr Josh came and he never fails to amuse people with his "cock-ness" Lol... Peter treated Mel and I to KFC and we had a good time laughing at him and Josh esp when Peter commented that Josh is a "visual disturbance" to humans!!! Hahahhaa.... i know its so so mean to say that lar... But what do do? It's just Peter, and Yes. It's just Josh too. =p SO DAMN FUNNY LAR CAN!

Plus 2 of them were like always saying things out of the blue. SO RANDOM!! haha...oh wells, i guess they make a perfect "entertainment couple" Mel and I were like laughing away while eating lor... hehe. Went to walk abt to pass time after that and off we went to S&G .....

*to be continued.......

Lunchtime Concert for BE!!! =)

2007-11-07T23:00:00.000+08:00

Yays! The 4th week of my lunchtime concert and today's LA BALLROOM EN MASSE performance slot! =) I guess our no. of performers caught the eye of the crowd, nice and flattering costumes attracted the crowd and the dancing stayed the crowd. Chacha, Rumba and Jive were the dances we did. I only did Jive with junior Timothy Seet!! hehe...was happy for this short performance partnership we established. Hope u've enjoyed and benefited from it. *smiles*

Rene made a big silly mistake at the last part of Jive. Supposed to left turn to a "shimmy step" but i did a body roll instead!!But no worries, immediately realised, recovered, SMILE and continued to kick!! LOl...Funny part was, I was in front..... therefore those behind me were stunned. Some followed me but nothing beats Mr Azri, who stood there and stared at me!! Lol...guess he was really shocked. So funny can! Overall, Performance was good, Peter was happy and we were too... Wilfred took some really nice shots thruout the whole show =) Celebrated Paulino's belated bday in studio.

Meeting with DSA and the shortlisted emcees for Sinfonia 2007. After that, had a freaking throbbing headache!! Damn! Tks dear Benji for getting me chicken rice and sorry for waiting so long for me to pack my stuffs. Went over to S&G and waited 40 mins for Bellman, just to get him to schedule our private lesson. Slept there and rested! A 40 mins wait exchanged for a one sec ans by Bellman "Okay, u're lucky. Tml 6pm. I'll see u" That's all...well hopefully we'll be able to finish up 2 routines tml.

Went to KOPITIAM with Dex, Lin and Benji for awhile and left for home. Tireds! Tml will be dance day again!! Yays! *anticipation* Hope Mel will feel better ... Nights everyone!! Will post pics soon.....

Cheers (",)

It's Paulino's Bday!! ~happy bday to you~

2007-11-05T23:43:00.001+08:00

Last technique class =(

2007-11-04T22:12:00.000+08:00

Rene performed miracle! Woke up mentally at 9am but physically at 1030am! But the miracle part was.......... .......... I slept at 1030pm!!!!!! I've never done that in years! In fact, NEVER!! (minus those days that i'm sick la) I felt floaty and dreamy =p Was damn freaking tired after ytd's NEA event.

P'Oi, my sis Thai friend is here in Spore!! Mummy and I went Pan Pacific hotel to meet her. The hotel rm was so so so NICE!! (executive business unit) No wonder people say Spore's hotels are of a certain standard. I totally agree! Met Mel for last technique class at 4pm in S&G.

Class was most relaxing today, did not really perspire much. Both Mel and I felt weird while dancing today, its like we've not danced for a long time and forgot how to actually dance properly. WEIRD! Nevertheless, we paid full attention to Bellman's every bit of details. He even gave us printed notes that he took down 10 years ago!! Funny shit la he.. When he showed us his original 2 sheets of paper he kept for 10 years, it was like trash been picked up..lol (plus full of spelling error) He even said "Hey, i was only 16! I couldn't even type properly that time!" So funny la he!! CRAPPER!

However, another miracle happened too. Mel actually brought biscuits to eat, but this time PLUS MY SHARE TOO!!! Partner Rene finally got to have a pack of biscuits given by Partner Mel! 1st time ever u'll actually bring something for me to eat!! Lol...hahas Anyway, really sorry abt the incident today lar Mel, didn't meant it yar? =p

Ate Subway Club again with Mel. It was so pathetically filled with little meat and veg! Even missed out my pickles!! Not gonna go Raffles City's outlet anymore. Grrrrr...... The bloody guy is so freaking Stingy can!! Cheat our money! Wanted to upsize our meal with regular drink and cookies but Mel actually said "UPGRADE" lol!! Cookies were so so so SWEET!! Dunno how can Daphne eat that every single day. Mummy came to find us and went back together.

Another call that sets me thinking again. Sigh...i'm so tired of all these.. What should i do?

NEA "My Clean and Green Singapore"

2007-10-31T22:27:00.001+08:00

Generally a happy day for me today =)

It's "Da lao ban's" (big boss), Mr Wee's bday today!! Celebrated together with Mr Arshad's bday too! The Prima Deli cake was soooo nice!! =)

Day started with a busy morning to make-up, rehearse item, set-up, meeting emcees, meeting external organisers and coordinating performing groups. ALL FOR LUNCHTIME CONCERT! It's the 3rd week already =) And today is StageArts DANZ INC. slot too, plus I'M PERFORMING FOR "SEXYBACK" =) yays! Generally the whole concert went well, captured a big crowd, sporting audience and well-received comments abt it. Good job for Dance Company too! The new choreo is really nice and its getting neater and nicer after each performance. WELL DONE GALS!! I guess Danz Inc. really put up a wonderful performance and created much awareness amongst NYP students! ROCK ON babies!! Oooohhh... and it was Peter's "virgin" performance in NYP...featuring "Hello" and "Give it to me"

"Within" was everyone's favourite and Salsa hip hop was a breakthru. Nevertheless, thanks to Ms Zelia's "Sexyback" that'll always stay as a signature dance for Danz Inc! Great to have almost the entire office down to the Atrium to support this event =) N thanks to all supporters!! Let's do the same or even better for next week's BE's slot for Lunchtime...jia you!

Practiced Salsa hip hop with Fir for Sat NEA's event till about 10plus. Met up finally to talk things out and sort out each other's thoughts and feelings. 1st time to have such a condusive and calm talk in 5 years. Wells, at the end of it, i also don't know how i really felt. I've seriously changed....a different person now. For the worse cos i relised i dunno what i want at all for anything, everything.......Gosh this sucks! I want to step out of this irritating change of me SOON!! I just wana be free on my own for awhile.... I need space..... i'm really tired

2007-10-29T23:46:00.001+08:00

Waaaaaaaa omg!! My neck is super "suan" and stiff! Sighs....so uncomfortable to sit still at work and work in fromt of the damn PC la! Busy busy day again.. Countless of excuse letters to be issued and Edelweis and I spent almost half the day discussing about ORION Singing Competition. My next upcoming major event. This time the committee kinda can't make it...... Sigh... In the end, WE gotta take things into our hands 1st cos we're really running outta time with many things not sorted out! Gawd!! ............nvm..........RENE, JIA YOU! =)

Anyway, BE prac was as usual, fixing up the routines. Tim is gradually improving plus he's quite grounded (at times not always! lol..) And I think our JIVE was GOOD!!! Tension is getting better! Way to go and keep it up!! Hope the rest of the juniors will start to slowly improve too. Let's do BE proud!! *smilez*

My poor toe that bled was freaking painful! Crap! Dancers have the ugliest toes man!! Anyways left quite late at abt 1115pm! Yawnz! Dead tireds!! *anticipation for Wed performance of SEXYBACK~ yeah!*

2007-10-28T23:48:00.001+08:00

It feels a whole load of difference being able to catch enough sleep. It could've felt better if my neck wasn't so stiff, shoulders so tensed, thighs so aching, back muscles aching, toes soring and hips aching!!!

Nua-ed my day away thruout. Did some thinking and flashbacks. Many thoughts went thru my mind. Sigh.. I'm really such a..... sigh..... i don even know what word to use to describe myself. A step at a time i guess and let time heal everything. Feel like what's ahead of me...everything.. is just so vague and so difficult to visualise.

Anyway, its the 5th Bellman's technique class. More lecture was given today (but no book this time, notes from Bellman...lol he looked so funny holding a book and teaching us last lesson....so doesn't suit him) Another beneficial lesson. Was happy again cos he picked Mel and I out to do the "sliding doors" and mentioned when i danced, i was trying to tell something thru my movements, aiya in another way....got feeling and emotions lar. Koaz! =) And Madeline actually commented on us that we improved alot since LION CITY. Happys!

Acc Mel to Popular Bookstore and took soooooooo long to choose 2 pens! OMG Mel , really take my hat off u. And thanks for "appreciating" my tasteless barley drink. Humph! Finally managed to eat my SUBWAY CLUB =) Shared a foot-long! Full!! Crippled back home again....

Sighs...gonna face Monday again! Noooooooo...... .... ...... ...... .....

What a tiring day!! OMG

2007-10-27T01:11:00.001+08:00

Stayed over in office again. Woke up at 8am and bathed to refresh myself before BE training starts. Prac started from 9am till 12pm straight. My partner for the coming lunchtime concert is junior Timothy for JIVE!!! haha...gonna get killed by me!!!! Relax Tim, don't stress don't stress..lol.

Din get to eat much from my packet lunch and was busy preparing for some work stuffs. Preview and vocal trainers coming in to train Farhanah and Shahirah for upcoming Sinfonia. Print score sheets, moving fans, getting room keys etc.... Gosh! So tiring! Up and Down block E isn't very fun when the FREAKING LIFT IS "OUT OF ORDER"!! Everything went well and also settled scheduling remaining training sessions with the vocal trainer and singers. Phew~~ What a day. Went back studio only at abt 530pm, pretty exhausted. Took some silly pics with Mel outside TFA and finally finished my packet of unfinished rice! HUNGRY!!!! NOt forgetting irritating Benji kept complaining abt his position in performance haha... Argh! can complain worse than a girl man!! Lol...

Mel and I slept in the train on our way to S&G....... so sleepy! Could barely force our eyes open upon alighting. Dragged our feets to S&G. However, once we reached there.....everything changed. We somehow got back our energy, recharged and danced and danced all the way. We both agreed its the lights, people and music there that made a huge difference. Latin dancers are affected by atmosphere and environment....lol. Mel jabbed me hard under my left rib cage while we did our chacha routine. Sooooooo PAIN! At that moment, was like a sharp jolt of pain shooting past. Was still painful after that. *sniff*sniff*

We did 3 times straight our JIVE routine we got ytd and its like almost total exhaustion!!!!! Bellman made us do the routine in front of him and some other couples. We could barely pick up our feets after tat. Commented that he's happy enough since we got the routine like ytd and we it felt like we're dancing =) *SMILEZ* Tks to Peter who helped and gave us many good pointers in our routine. But while fixing our "drop" my back hit his knee!! Gwad! another injury...PAIN!!

We danced straight from 730pm - 1030pm! Shiokness........ Crippled our way back home. Serious tiredness today.... gonna sleep late tml man!!!

Entry for yesterday: 26th Oct 07, Friday
A mad-rushing day for me.

Woke up at only 830am!! Practically sprang up my bed when my half-opened sleepy eyes saw 8.28am on my hand phone. Reached work only at 10am but hey i did informed my boss for that. Permission approved! Phew~ haha plus am on half day leave today.

So many unfinished and supposed-to-do matters pending for me to clear and remember. Sigh... my life is like a roller-coaster ride now. I'm still hanging on to my seat. Even lunch with Joan was so rushy and quick. Left office only at 250pm, meeting Mel at 330pm. End up he was late instead and we only reached S&S at 4pm. Our private class on started at 425pm... but also ended at 525pm la haha..

Private is really not easy. Physically and mentally challenging and tiring. Gotta think fast, react,absorb and execute steps, timing, styling and all is really draining. But fun and beneficial!! =) We couldn't even rem the sequence of sets given. To a certain point, i felt damn dumb and stupid. Bellman did have a good laugh at us and was actually thinking hard to specially piece out a routine that suits us cos we're just too small. I kinda like our routine actually. Alrights, DONE!! Approx 26 bars in 1 hr! Considered not alot for 1min30sec routine but is alrd enough to kill us both. Weak! Gotta keep practicing!!! We can do it!

Mel left 1st and I prac abit alone. Sickening Bellman call me "midget" and ask me to get donuts for him cos he's hungry but lazy! WTH! haha but he's so fun to talk to and he's also so annoying. Crapper too, trying to speak Singlish by adding "lar" behind is sentence . Eg Cannot "larrr"
(stressing on the word) Met up with Pauline and Lin to Orchard. Waited for them for 45mins! Gracious me! Lucky i have Joan's DS Nintendo to pass my time. Played till low batt =( Had a great time toking cock, taking snapshots and silly pics. Ate dinner at Cineleisure "HOng Kong's Cafe". I went back to NYP at abt 11plus. Thanks Lin and Pauline for accompanying me too =)

Supposed to meet but was too late at night already. Difficulties with security side so didn't.. sigh..din managed a talk in the end. I don't know what'll happen next.... u ask me? i can't think now so ....... i dunno....sighs

Slept in fish tank room at 2plus till next morning. Yawnz...nice place to slp lol....

2007-10-25T22:29:00.000+08:00

Restless is the word to describe my day today. Totally no focus on what i'm doing. Sighs.... When is all these gonna stop?????? Guess i jus want a little time off, break myself free a little, not avoiding nor trying to run away from matters. So i applied a half day leave tml for Bellman's private lesson (JIVE) Even the thought of it makes my day a little chirpy.

6PM!!!!! "Bang Gang Liao"!!!!!! (off work)
Edelweis gave out her custard apple. What's custard apple??!! (i bet lots of u out there have no idea at all what is it right?) It's not a pie, or pastry or anything. It's a fruit!!! It looks kinda like soursop...amazingly SWEET and JUICY. And it's DAMN EXPENSIVE! One of it cost btw $5 to $12!! Omg, it's me and Chin Kwong's 1st time eating it!! Heex...both of us were happily eating it like small kids at his desk... kena taken some snapshots by Edelweis!! haha...

Had discussion till late with students and left office only at 1115pm!! Yawnz, i'm so freaking tired lately. Grandpa was at my place, will be staying over since my Aunt went to KOREA TO SEE RAIN"S CONCERT!! Damn!! I wana watch too!! lol... Sigh I miss my sister..

2007-10-25T00:59:00.001+08:00

Entry posted for yesterday: 24th Oct, Wed

I noticed a change in me, or rather something that's all along in me. Just that i haven't really realised it till something big must happen to make me finally realise...
Well, that's human nature and in fact how queer humans choose to complicate themselves, to circum themselves into situations that they already know the outcome..

Then again , I'm still doubtful...
"Of what?" I asked myself
"I dunno" I replied myself

And that is the whole freakin problem!! I never know what i really want. I'm always unsure, in doubt.. on most of the things. Sometimes i think back, am i too immature or stubborn? Why am i feeling this way? Is it cos of everything that has happened recently that caused all these? See! This are ques that i always ask myself but can never seem to ans.

I don't wana think of anything anymore.

Finally, Bellman called to fix our (Mel&I....not with Bellman! haha...ok i'm lame) private lesson this coming Fri. Yays! happy. Specially took half day leave for it. Well, i needa break too, some time off. We both know that we're gonna get killed in that session, sore feets, mental stress and all but i guess we 're both still looking forward to it! *anticipation once again*

NYPSU had their Commissioning 2007 at the TFA. Was quite enjoyable esp when Mr Wee was been "pulled" up stage to sing along with the 15th Exco Committee - "The Reason" haha... i even took a video. FB and DC also put up wonderful performances. Food was also not bad but i din really eat. Told Chin Kwong abit on some silly feeling i felt.

Had freakin headache since morning till night. Sianz... Waited in office till abt 930pm for Sexyback's rehearsals. Left only at 11plus! OMG! I'm gonna be dying from exhuastion soon.
Wanted to take cab initially but was just too ex (mid-nite) so still took a train back. How tired also must ENDURE!! MUST SAVE $$$

Thanks to the people ard me.. =)

2007-10-23T22:06:00.000+08:00

Things are getting better i guess..
At least for now...
I'm glad and hope that some things will still remain and some will change for the better..
It's a risk again.... Oh well, isn't that what's life is abt? Taking RISKS? It's just how big a risk taker are u, judging on a bigger or smaller scale.

I must say I have wonderful colleagues and bosses! Esp big thanks to Lina, Edelweis and Mr Wee, who were my pillars at my weakest moment. They appeared to be more like a friend than a boss. Golden words of advices, opinions, comfort, hugs are showered. Although after all that happened, i still have my own stand, its understood by all. =)

Friends and some of my darling BE and SA juniors also expressed their concerns. Tks so so much!! I really appreciate everything. Hugs to all.
Apart from thanks, my apologies too to those who took my shit and bad temper. But anyways, better jolly well keep ya distance away from me if there's nothing up.

Left office only close to 11pm, saw my darling StageArts dancers just finished prac. Poor things! To Amin, Germaine and Nic... HANG IN THERE YA! I know its a tough period to cope with now but after all these, U'll have a great sense of achievement and be so proud of yourselves. I will be so proud of u guys too ya =) U know u are good, so go out there and give your best shot!

Anytime you peeps needs a listening ear, Hamtaro's ears will be here for u (if u don mind it's too small la..still can hear lar...lol) Huggiess..

Yawnz..
I just wana NOT think of anything..... can i?
trying to...
try harder rene..

Woke up darn early at 4am to see my dear sister off at 5am. She's leaving for 3 months to backpack!! =( Sis, i'll miss u so so much!!! Wanted to see her off to airport alone but it was raining and transportation was a lorry so i couldn't. Sighs......

"time flies gal, by the time u knw it. I'll be back already." (said sis msg) Yes, i agree... wish u'll have an amazing and wonderful trip. What u always wanted to do for a long time. =) Bon Voyage and big hugsssss!!! MUACKS!

Met up at Ze's void deck to do up "Sexyback". Was a fun session i felt and managed to catch most of the choreo,changes and formation. Well, wasn't that tough lar.. Hmmm... suddenly back to hip hop was a lil weird but i still like it. Would wana pick it up back again. Reggae was fun too!! (learnt abit from Ze) Funny shit from Ze & Jingwei as they did the full MANDARIN version of "Sexyback" ....erm ...or rather sld it be "Xing Gan Bei"....lol...

Left for S&G with Pauline and Amin at abt 435pm, took a silly pic of us eating bananas! Bought one bunch for $1.80, just felt like eating lar. Erm...Amin's self-cam aiming was a lil off lar....in fact SO OFF lor!! hahas.. And YES! We both agree that techno music totally SUCKS!! hahaa..

Met Mel straight at S&G again, was even later than me lor.. Again, u weren't really yaself. Cheer up soon kie, partner =) Madeline was here and happy for her that she finally found a new partner, Lenny (if i rem correctly...lol) Anw, today's valuable Bellman's lesson had a BONUS for us cos class actually ended with him picking Me, Weilin and Karen (Rianto's partner from NTU) out to do Rumba walks in front of every1 else in the studio.

Then he asked "OKay, what was the difference in the 3 of them?"
And majority of the class went "Not much difference"
Then he turned to each of us and asked "How many times have u went thru a break-down counting of rumba walks/technique and for how long?"

This was our answers:
Karen: "A year"
Weilin: "Twice"
Rene: "Once" (which is the lesson today)

Bellman said: "Right, but seriously there isn't much difference at all, so meaning we are all too self-technique conscious that we often/ always forgot to dance." He also added on that we were dancing instead of being so sub-conscious really caring how this and that sld go, arms and everything..sharing with the rest that we actually did our 1st competition ever in LION CITY 2007 and beat the rest who has a few years experience and got into the finals!! Mel and I were quite happy when we heard that =)

To stretch every single actions is crucial! That Si Gin Na really engages every single muscle group. So nice!! We gave him our schedule to take private as well and he gave a rule that he wana make a night off for outing and everyone jus go out together to have fun and dance together!! So cool!! He's so funny and F.O.S as well...lol (full of shit) oh ya! ytd he was telling Mel and I abt his drunk night the previous night...lol and he just took my hand and KISSED it! Was abit stunned initially, think Mel was too. hahas...but yea its nth lar...

Anticipating for that outing to happen! =)

Home Sweet Home after that. Indeed felt better ler....sighs.. tml will be another fire-fighting day i guess.

A most heartached and hurtful day in years...

Entry for yesterday: 20th Oct 2007 (Saturday)

Lin and I only woke up at 830am in the fish tank rm! Tks to Wilfred's sleeping equipments..lol. Made it jus in time for prac at 9am. It's really true that "The nearer a place is, the later u'll get." It's proven.

BE prac as usual, did Jive performance routine all the way till 12pm. Was fun and shiok but fast!! Liked the choreo but really need to work very very hard on it. Gave Peter a big hug before i left 1st at 12pm. Dunno why i just wanted to hug him a lil longer to say im sorry and all but.... yea then again... after what happened... work ....personal and all. It just didn't happened. All i know is i give my full respect to this person and it'll never change. Be it past, present or future, it'll still be the same. Took a cab to Green Banyan, Jurong Country Club for Edelweis's daughter, Larissa's 3rd bday celebration. So ex...sigh.. (no choice, late like mad =p)

Larissa's bday was indeed a joyful one! She's sooooooo adorably CUTE!!! Really made my day seeing her esp in her full-geared Minne Mouse suit! With the ears hairband and even white gloves to go along! She's totally hyper and poses very well for any shots, anytime! Great,smart,cute,pretty and bright kid!! Mummy and sis went too, intro them to my colleagues =) Also not forgetting darling Anna a.k.a Cheese. There were so so many kids that went too. Lina also brought Bryan along!!! He's sooooo cute and handsome! OMG! Larissa even gave him a peck on this lips!! Din really ate much but it doesn't matter. What's most impt is everyone really enjoyed. Took lotsa pics. Really tiring after playing with all the kids. Gotta prepare for prac with Mel later at S&G. Gosh....tireds!

Did not prac alot today but still considered alright. Mood was a total 360 degree change after a trashed out talk with him. Gosh! I got so affected, I couldn't hold it back any more. Finally broke down... I don't want any barrier or awkwardness to surface is all i ask...

Thanks for being there and hear me out....
Embarrassing moment but its only human nature..
Hope things will be the better for both of us soon...
I wana be back to being usual Rene...

I will be!

My endurance is still going on... I thank myself for that.
NOt easily beaten. Thats' me!!

* looking forward to tml's technique class... I know i'll definitely feel much better*

Tough day to handle after taking leave yesterday. Given me a choice again , maybe I'd rather not take it. Whole day was almost used to handle jus ONE major matter.

Had a meeting with NEA ppl along with Mr Wee. A successful meeting i should say but i know things are not gonna be as easy as it seems too. Anyway, its a risk im taking. A huge one..

Work still has to carry on but it seems nothing seem to go on smooth for me. Even printed out 20 pcs of a poster design wrongly! Wasted money! Sighs.... Went for my 1st "Sexyback" prac after so long and jus tried to learn and catch us as much as possible. Although so long nv touch hip hop, so far still so good ba.

Mel came then we prac for Latin awhile and back to "Sexyback" again. Stayed over in office for the night, together with Weilin's company too. Went to bathe only at 1 plus A.M. Had a so called heated up conversation with Meixian. No hard feelings gal, neither was i trying to scold you. Just want u to understand and see things in a wider picture. HUgs.. Did abit of work and slept at 3plus.

Made up my mind too on something too...sigh....My decision. Is it due to stressed work load? Or has it already been dragging all along? Was i right or wrong? I mean does it even bother? I guess i just have to learn to think and grow up someday. Make changes in my life, to be a better person not of other's perception and expectations, BUT YOUR OWN.

Awaiting for next day's arrival!!

2007-10-16T11:42:00.000+08:00

Too many things happening....

Nothing seems to be right...

I can't seem to handle....

Or did I choose not to....

Everything's sucky....

Not one SINGLE right thing is happening to me, my life, my everything...

Focus, determination is fading but ENDURANCE, my strongest factor still carries on...hopefully long enough to last.....

But hence, I'm still disoriented..... I can't think properly

I'm losing sleep...

I'm tired.....

2007-10-15T23:18:00.001+08:00

Rehearsals for SEG Week i audi today. My dear juniors were all on time at 9am in the Audi, some warming up, some practicing, some sit ard....went on well and fast.

Anyways, back in office was a diff case. So many things undone, to be done. Major screw up on a particular upcoming event. OMG! issues arising, unhappiness sets in, difficult position and tough situations....doesn't cound good at all huh?

I told myself "Rene, take a breather. Dance later and clear my mind off for at least a few hrs!" But.....i couln't even focus well on dance!! Wasn't that bad but definitely not my usual self. Guess its pretty obvious to most of them...all sensed a certain tension from me but dare not approach. Nevertheless, I taught the class for chacha changes and some direction changes. Scolded them for not being alert and picking up instructions fast enough and adapt to changes.

Was I too harsh? I don't think so in a way. It's time for a wake-up call for BE. I hope things will improve and my dear juniors can achieve something too. HOwever!! When we went thru our JIVE changes for the final time..... I flared up! Only one thing that really triggered me off. I cannot tolerate ATTITUDE PROBLEM. A dancer with a bad attitude can never be a dancer. No matter how freaking good u are, U'll never succeed with a bad attitude. I hope everone can learn things and see things on the same level, obtain the same learning curve and right mindset and attitude. Only with that will the club be stronger and grow more efficiently.

Sigh... do felt a little bad on certain words that was used but I will only be willing to be judge at a certain level. As for this time, i think a more appropriate judgement should be looked into 1st before judging a person or even a matter.

2007-10-14T23:56:00.001+08:00

3rd technique class in SnG
1st time meet Mel straight at studio, nv go together....hmmm
Anyways our timing was still abt there...lol

Wasn't in a very good mood initially but somehow, somewhat DANCE will always and never failed to make me feel better. Well, i guess for those non-dancers who reads my blog will think that i'm crazy, being so obsessed with dance. As if dance can really do miracle and makes u forget abt everything, anything for that moment? Someone actually told me before to get a life, cos she thinks that i have no life, apart from dance.HEY! DANCE IS MY LIFE!

Dancers out there, only YOU understands how a dancer really feels deep down inside. =)

Another precious session from Bellman again! Ooohhh i love HIM!! hahas..
Bellman's Golden Words:
"RUMBA is 90% made out of purely walks....... just walks."
"Why Asians always lose out to westerners? Cos they have this connection barrier... to get close. Is it so difficult to have eye contact with your partner? If you can't even have eye contact with your partner, how are you going to do it to the adjudicators?" (so true lor)
"Technique is only there to enhance the dance....(forget abt technique.... lol..of cos not!!)
"JUST DANCE IT OUT..... forget abt everything and enjoy the dance"

Learnt how to lead the female today, being able to know when to stop her, feel her, turn her and direct her. Mel and I can't really get that at 1st but slowly slowly start to get the hang of it. *smilez* Eye contact part was the funny bit, at least i don have much of a prob with it but that day was like so sudden that we have to do it so both were like grinning away lar!! Supposed to look with emotions but ended up smiling...kns! But was still good la! SSSsooooooo much better! Suddenly we felt that finally we were dancing! So different!

Prac till abt 8pm. Chacha was good too! Had fun and enjoyed! "Well danced today, partner! Shiok!" (said Mel's sms) I totally agree!! CAn't wait till the next technique class again. But only 3 more to go......Sadz!

Gotta reach work at 8am tml!! SEG Week rehearsals for my dear Danz Inc.
Yawnz... BE disciplined!! I can Do it!!

2007-10-13T23:27:00.000+08:00

"Selamat Hari Raya to all my muslim friends!!" Eat all you want now!! Ramadan's OVER!!
heex..

Sense of satisfaction after clearing some work in office, in the morning. Although its only 2hrs, 2hrs of concentration and quality work is all that counts! Feel great to work peacefully with no distractions. Oh well, i prefer to work quietly, sometimes even without music at all =p

Session of choreo arrangement in Dancearts with Peter today. 4 couples only and drilled quite abit too i felt. Was in a way a beneficial session. Brian, Shiying, Myself went to Zhiping's house to help her out 1st.

IT'S DULC (Dance United Lepak Club) big STEAMBOAT gathering at ZhiPing's House in Bukit Batok (finally somewhere near my place...for like once can!? lol..) (finally somewhere near my place...for like once can!? lol..) Very nice hospitality from Zhiping's family and her father look damn young lar!!!!! I can safely say he can pass off mid-thirties!! Oh man!! Lotsa food, losta drinks, lotsa people and losta FUN!!! The only thing that is insufficient is SPACE!! Hahahaaaa...but its ok, we like to squeeze and be cosy in our own ways. lol...

SA & BE juniors, seniors, DC's pris and the one and only Peter Teo (President of DULC) were all present. Happening!! =) Highlight of the day was: YEE SHAN'S BOTAK HEAD!! (look so cute and clean suddenly...erm but still look like gal lor...haha) I din eat much (regrets regrets) Don't know why just din feel like eating. Was busy walking up and down serving people food, pouring drinks... haha..sounds like im the host instead right? Lol..

Oh well, a few people worth pointing out!

Timothy aka Uncle Seet: Best Eater of the day!! (He is slow and steadily putting food into his mouth throughout, super can eat!)

Shiying: "Udon" by Peter and "Praying Mantis" by Rene! haha.. (Cos everything abt her is LONG... fingers,arms,legs,feet,hair,body and face etc. And pls, stop getting skinnier kie???)

Grace aka "Sotong" : Rare guest!! BE's pioneer batch! Miss ya and the rest loads! Muackies and huggies!

Yee Shan aka "Confucious" : NSF soon-to-be!!

Pris and Benji : An Advance and Belated Oct Babies!

Zee and Treasa: The Black White opposites!

Bennerick aka Mr. BS President: Latecomer of the day...haha (nvm la his Excellency)

kk its gonna be a long list if i carry on... keke... Bottom line is, we enjoyed ourselves and took many pics! Laughed and joked and of course do what we're best at.........BE LAME!!

Everyone was so hyper and crazy even after we left Zp hse at 1115pm! While waiting for Peter to take the lift down, the rest of us all formed a huge circle at the void deck,held hands and stood on 2nd position...on our toes!!

Then the human horse race began! Nic piggy-backed Germaine and raced his way to the mrt station. haha, followed by Benji and ME!!! haha then Peter and Treasa caught up!! haha madness lar!! of cos after 2 traffic lights, all the horses died...... GAME OVER!! LOL..

Night was still young i guess, Peter and some others went for movie but the rest all went home sweet home!! Me too!

Tireds but enjoyable day!!

Happy Bday to Pris(p.bread) and Chee Seng!

Just left office at 1030pm!!
Look at how messy my work desk is!! So irritating!!

haha.. Its WaterSports camp and saw Wen Sheng from Dragon Boat. He just got this cute look la, cos his eyes are sooooooo small!!! lol..

Went for a short jog with Jinlong during lunch. Just 1 round NYP and 1 in stadium and *roars* Started to rain!! Lucky it was after we ran when the rain set in.

Helped Chin Kwong with his Sinfonia concert together with the singers. Finally back to be a "Nai Ma" again for my dear Shahirah and Farhanah. "Ye lai xiang" was well sung by Farhanah!! *claps*claps* Was nice speaking to "LAo Shi"(SO's conductor)

Anyways yeah, my thighs and knees hurt dunno y. sianzz..... Sigh!

2007-10-08T23:55:00.000+08:00

Yays!! NYP Mac has finally resumed business. Looks so bright suddenly and organised. Kinda feels like a hospital but yet a jungle with the 4 huge plants across the whole canteen. hahas..

Took over BE class today with Mel.
I must say dear Weilin really have a weird sense of music!! haha... (k la i know not intentionally la, cos she claims she nv listen to the songs in her mp3.... how true i dunno lar..lol) ok jk jk just in case u are reading this entry..lol

Mel and I were practically trying so hard to contain our laughter throughout the warm-ups. So LAME. Alrights.. I dunno y i'm ever so hyper active esp when it comes to dance. Even after a late night slp to an early wake up call to a busy working day, I'll start my dance afresh like im starting a brand new day! Almost being crazy! haha..

Taught JIVE today and was quite happy with the progress and at the same time enjoyed myself too although i nv really danced much. Taught till 1030pm!! And i wasn't tired at all but i gotta work tml so arghh.... gtg!

Only when i cool down and reach home, then i felt tiredness setting in.

Yawns.....
ZZzzzzzzzzzzz

A very well lesson learnt

2007-10-07T23:18:00.001+08:00

2nd technique class on Rumba today. Was a progression from all the basic rumba walks, transferring of weight and using the floor to a level higher of weight settlement, timing, direction and leading and connection.

What was taught by Bellman today was truly valuable I felt. Seems all so easy to absorb and listen. Almost So lame! But yet soooooo difficult to actually execute it. OMG!! Was a funny session too when he explained the timing connection between the couple too! haha...LAME!!

Initially, didn't really have the feel to dance but after the session was the total opposite. =) Rumba is all abt feelings, connection, timing, direction and dancing out a story. It has to have a meaning for dancing out each step like, what is the movement for and what it signifies? Yet the connection between the couple is all abt feeling and timing. It doesn't matter what you do or dance out upon reacting from what the opposite does, u'll still move together....

Hmm...sounds chim? Well, can't really put it into words though. I don't know how to either.
Therefore................................. JUST DANCE! ooooohhh... i love rumba!

2007-10-06T23:34:00.000+08:00

NYAA GOLD AWARD CEREMONY

2007-10-04T23:50:00.001+08:00

Busy day today !!

His Excellency Mr President S R Nathan was present together with Mr Mah Bow Tan for this special ceremony. I must really comment that Mr President S R Nathan is warm and friendly. Basically, he held each of the Gold Award Recepients's hand after shaking for a few more seconds while spending some time talking to them too. SOooooo nice~

Din get to do much work due to long duration event. Was initially quite reluctant to self-prac with Mel today but he come liao so yeah.. But it was all good prac. haha i sld term it as FUN lar...lol.

Tried our best to get back our competition partnership cos we're clearly losing it. Tension still ok, accent wise and individual work getting weak!! ESP MY BALANCING AND HOLDING~!~OMG! So we made our session enjoyable again by switching roles! I be the guy and he be the gal! We exchanged steps and it was hell lotta fun! (as usual my partner loves to do gals steps..lol)
I lead and lead and concluded though guys steps looks easy, its actually not that easy to lead a gal. But stil l........... i feel the gal has to do a little more job always. Lol.. gals out there, agree? =p

Mel did a chacha turn and guess wad?? He picked up his knee when i did too! ~BIONK!~
Our knees hit each other and it was so painful!! Wrestled each other to the ground till were sooooo tired. OF COS!! The hammy won!! wahahaha...

Breakfast by Mother of 4 today! I got special order... Wan-tan mee!! Hehe Soooooo FULL!!
Hmmm... there's always a "relax-entertainment session" somewhere thru the day.
As usual, my table is always the gathering spot....which i really dunno why.

Discussions, eating, gathering, joking, reading papers, slacking are all at RENE's table!! haha..
Whatever anyone does on my table esp EATING, don't drop or drip anything (even the slightest crumb or a drop of water) on my table!! I HATE IT!!! wahahaha.....

The usual gang was Mr Wee (BOSS), Edelweis (my boss), Uncle Guru, Agnes, Lina, Joan and Ivan. All of us laughed so hard lor... *tears tears* heex, Lina laughed till she got sore throat!

OT in Office today again myself!! haha.. Yawnz!

Oh well, I love my colleagues! I love my job =)

2007-10-01T23:56:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna be lonely! Jinlong and Wilfred will be gone for the entire week to Gnung Stong Expedition.... so cool and fun! How i wish i cld go..lol. Hmm...nvm la, I will also have some peace finally and focus on my work hahahah...

Meetings, meetings...
Discussions , discussions....
Brainstorm and brainstorm...

Pretty much described what my day was...lol

Learnt the formation chacha rumba routine today. Feel so weird suddenly to kinda restrict our styling. Mel and I couldn't do it haha... so we just did it our usual natural way... lol.
Benji was the MAN today man!! Wearing a fairly noticeable white T-Shirt with prints that says "Sex Instructor (first lesson FREE)" Omg! And whatever he said that day was like so relevant to what he wore (intentionally or not i dunno...haha)

Video recorded both routines and it was totally atrocious!! Guess we really have to keep drilling on our routines and basics. Seem to be losing everything. Weight placement, balance, fig 8, turns, compression, point and all were slowly fading! CRAP!!

Work HArd Rene!! Jia you!

~ The erm.. twin Banglah Latinos? haha... look alike right? Almost same colour also! ~
~ Her name is XiaoBai. 5.5 years old. Owner: Huiping! haha ~

Shiokness ..... slept till 10plus!!
Just feels so gr8 to be able to catch more slp! haha old liao.. or else those who know me know i wont say this der cos......... I HATE SLEEPING!! BLOODY WASTE OF TIME! But when u've really overworked, then u'll start to realise that a little more rest really DOES makes a difference.

Nua-ed at home till I'm almost 80% decomposed at abt 3pm! Totally restless alrd. Haiz hate this feeling... made me din feel like moving or doing anything lar! Shucks!

Thought of Bellman's technique class at 6pm motivated me to just get my fat arse outta the house! Met Mel and went SnG early at 530pm. Bellman was conducting private chacha class for Lin&Dex. Wow... routine was pretty tough we felt,but kinda doesn't flow.

Followed by his Rumba technique class, did all the basic fundamentals like rumba walks, basic footwork, weight placement and most imptly USE THE FLOOR!! Every muscle group in both legs were killing!

Went to Esplanade for a short while. Was Mel's 1st time in Esplanade!! OMG!! I almost cldn't believe my ears! Got so excited when he saw the rows of lights by Marina Bay.. haha (like a lil boy) Oh well, at least i was appreciated by taking him out and showed him ard...ahaha =) Oh, interesting exhibits we saw too! Enjoy!! Met up with Pauline, Lin and Dex again at Cityhall then all went separate ways home. I went back with Dex and saw Hui Ping on the train!! haha she and Xiaobai (her soft toy dog) was so cute and lame lar...

Samba samba samba..... lalala hahaha

2007-09-29T23:51:00.000+08:00

~ Cute Pic huh? the one below is a spoiler right? haha~
~ Bumble bee trying to match all its colours..haha~
~ yays! On our way to SnG liao!! ~

Feet killing session again by Bellman .... .... .... ....

Itinerary for 2 hours:
Stationary Samba Walks
Voltas from Right to Left and vice-versa
Bota fogos
Whisks
Routine

That's ALL we did for our last lesson. Seems a little? BUt our feets were So so so so so SORE, aching and painful! At least we're soring happily after that. Was all worthwhile... heex. Then when Peter did the inner muscle thighs training, calves and ankles were clearly declaring an unwillingness to support anymore. Freaking "suan" !! Then did abit of Jive ..... kick and kick and kick!! POWER PACK MAN TODAY'S CLASS!! SHIOK!! haha... Sounds like im totally enjoying the pain & happily toturing my body!! hahas..

Paid a short visit to WM Danceworld with Peter. All 3 of us slept in the cab! Haha.. As usual, seeing Whye Pong Lao Shi is such a pleasant and warm feeling. He'll never fail to hug me tightly with one arm and like to say "Aiyo, hen xiang ba ni bao qi lai!" (meaning "Feel like carrying u up") Shortly, we proceeded to SnG for prac nite. Not many couples MEANS more space to dance BUT less motivation. Started to make friends and talked abit to other couples =) Nevertheless, it still feels good again to dance there. MUst maintain our routines and keep practicing to improve our standard! Peter will give us new things and also a JIVE routine!!

Tml we are gonna start a latin technique class conducted my Bellman! He warned "Good luck, u guys are gonna die" Number one Crapper lar he.......

God bless my legs!! Gonna have humongous thighs!!

Knock-out time!! K-O!!

Wang Lee Hom in the house!!!! - NYP

2007-09-28T17:29:00.001+08:00

Was late for work today!! Woke up late... crap. Reached office only at 850am!! Time passed freaking fast today too. Hmmm... TGIF? hahas..

Had a long meetng with Edelweis on the Arts side, calendar of events, planning for next sem and all... Haiz come to think of it, I'm only left with approx 5 months with SA and that's it, my contract's done. =( Gotta start updating my resume and start looking for jobs. Freaking shit ....can't continue my studies! sighs........

~ Briyani for lunch!!! OMG!! I've sinned badly again.... no work out today too!!! Haha... this is how I know which packet of briyani is mine. (still dunno who wrote that... Grrrr.....) It indicates "xiao xiao huai dan" which means "small little naughty"?? hahas ~

~ Mr Wee trying to be a bartender?? Not mixing liquor but Ribena + 7Up!! (hmmm its nice!! Oh btw, if u wana try it...the Ribena sld be the gaseous one in the glass bottle) ~

~ Isn't this FBT running jersey nice? WHITE!! I wana own one...haha~

Highlight of the day: Wang Lee Hom Mini Campus Concert

He has a remarkable heavenly voice that will melt you right away. Although I'm not crazy fan of his, hearing him sing live is as good as listening to his actual album. Well, some and not many singers can sing live well and that's a fact.

~ His fan club and also him taking a huge grp pic with the entire NYP audience!! Lee Hom faces his back by the edge of the stage and pose!! ~

Nice album, good voice, good looks and built, great sense of humour, friendly and talented is what made his fans go crazy over him. There are even overseas fans from THailand to NYP just to see him!! It's really a pity that he sang only 2 songs... aww..

~ My new Puma Bag!! Nice nice? =p ~

Rushed over to Shawn&Gladys for a meeting with the other polys on organising a Co-tertiary International Dancesports Comp.Bennerick, Audrey,Zhiping, Weilin and I rep NYP. Hmmm...wasn't a very productive meeting we thought.

~Catch Zhiping sewing sequins on her Bra IN MAC for her Belly Dance performance.So nice!~

Alrights, tml is last SAMBA lesson with Ding Dang Ren! Be prepared for sore toes again!!! lalala...

Ratty Day!!!

Well, I'm in my shorts and big "No Sweat"T-shirt (hahas sounds like I'm at home rite? =p) Clearing some work as usual. Some of u might think that "Do i really have so much to do?" Actually my answer would be "Not really" Just that I dunno why i can work better after 6pm! Crazy lor...my concentration span is thrice and efficiency is twice compared to noon!! Sigh.. That is just bad!

Well, also my home comp is kinda spoilt so I'll have to use office's. (no choice lor) Sooooo much better!! Above are some pics of the windows, keeping me occupied during the nite hahas.. decided to just blog b4 I leave for home. Wouldn't wana touch that lousy home PC of mine.

Anyway, prac abit of dance today during lunch. Sld just stop jogging for the moment. Saw my disgusting short and huge thighs in the mirror reflection !! Train flexibility is more impt as a dancer so STOP developing tight muscles RENE!! hahas..

Today's a quiet busy day. Too bad i wasn't very productive in my efficiency of work... haiz just what is making me so lazy to work recently??? I gotta fine tune myself back again. Lunch was "nasi briyani" but i didn't order. Tasted a few mouths....damn nice!! Sadz... Control RENE!! ahhas..

Went to swim and tan abit instead with Mel. Hmm...... quite a short session.

Decided to jog my 2.4km after work with Puay San! Went on a slightly faster pace today and clocked 17mins30sec. haha slowly...got improvement la. Increased my sit ups too (50). But at the end of it, my knee caps hurts. Shucks! guess i should just rest for the week cos i don't want to aggravate and get any unnecessary injury symptoms again.When stretching, my left hip hurts again haiz...

Anyways, went Orchard with Puay San to get her friend's gift (a damn ex watch) and tried to look for my PUMA bag =( Can't find!! Anyway, was not a bad 1st outing cum shopping session =) Okies, tml shall be a disciplined working day, RENE ^^

2007-09-24T23:28:00.001+08:00

~ Me and lunchtime jogging colleague, Jinlong ~
~ The so called meeting!! "Fake Meeting" - all kena conned =p ~
~ What is Han doing? Aiming which piece he wants hahaz~
~ The 2 hunks in the office~
~ The gossipers!! When we were being disturbed -_- ~

Rainy wet morning to start off the week. Hmm... emails blasted with Sinfonia 2007 Concert ticket requests from NYP staffs. Gonna add on to my busy load liao hahas.

Felt very very lethargic initially when Jinlong and I dragged our feets to the tracks for our lunchtime jog. Pace was very slow, slower than usual but consistent all the way. We kept talking and jogging at the same time and i realised i wasn't panting as much as i used to. Still could speak on my 6th round and decided to go for 1 more round. When i clocked my 7th , i felt great, not tired actually. WEIRD!! Nv thought that i could run like that (achievement for me la... my running sucks) Decided not to whack too hard, went on to do our sets of his pull-ups and my sit-ups! Improved!!! Feeling was ssoooooooooo GREAT!! =)

Time: 4pm

The entire SA was conned into a "Fake meeting"!! All were sitted in meeting room by 4pm with their pens, notes and organizers, awaiting for the meeting to commence. Edelweis & Mr Wee brought mooncakes in to share and enjoy. All of us thought that this is just an extra treat during meeting cos thats what we usually do. Never did we all expect that THIS WAS WhAT THE MEETING IS ABT lor!! Eating Mooncakes!! OMG!! haha Spent an entire hr talking crap, laughing and disturbing each other. GUess who was the main character of the whole disturbing topic? HAn, Wilfred and ME!!! =( Eeeeeeeee....so irritating lar...haha but it was all a joke lar =p

Fun and relaxing to have this kinda session once in a while to release all tensions and fatigue once in a while.

Today's dance prac was led by me. Poor Weilin is sick again. Of all things, I gotta teach SAMBA!! God, freaking diff! Can't even do it properly myself. Lucky got Partner Mel to help me hahaz. Tried my best and by end of lesson, everyone was like drenched with sweat! Shiok! Continued to dance till 1030pm.FUN!

Time: 11pm

The sky was filled with shapely white clouds and the almost full moon created just enough moonlight to enhance the beauty of the clouds. What a rare sight! And where was this sight? Right outside the the gate of NYP!! Surprised? When Mel and I walked out, I suddenly just had the tendency to look up at the sky and I stopped immediately,awed by the beauty and Mel was like crazy, looking up and spinning in small circles saying, "Waaa... so nice!!" Too bad I couldn't respond or react much. Swear I would have lied down there thru the nite and gaze. If only i could...

Anyway it's almost 2am now!! Wana slp ler.. Tireds after teaching but something made me so awake!! Grrrr.... Nites all =p!!

2007-09-23T23:59:00.000+08:00

What a bored day at home! Well, at least i got to spend some quality time with my dear Amoni (amoni means "mother" in Korean) Heex =) Ate quite alot today!! Supposed to meet Mel and Julian but never did in the end.

Chatted with Cecelia on MSN and memories of the BE most pioneer batch floated back! HOw much fun we had and the bond each of us gained. Po Po Joanne, Sotong Grace, Ideal, Blur Anna and etc.... Haiz I miss all of u so much. Come to think of it, we never really took much pictures together. SAdz!! It's okay, true memories lies in the heart. Huggies to u all! Hope we can organise a gathering soon. =)

Anyways, tml is gonna be a busy day again. Hope to turn in soon, slp well, feel fresh in the morning and a good start for the entire week.

SAMBA FEVER!! wahahaha.....

2007-09-23T01:48:00.000+08:00

~Sister, Cousin Lan, Aunt 1, Aunt 2, ME~
~ Noisy MindsCafe in Boat Quay~ (Peter's fav place too!! haha)
~ Me and Cousin Lun~ hahas
~ Mummy and ME~ (i dunno y is it so blurry...)
~ I got the TCC members card! yays!! ~

~ hehe let's add a litle more picture to beautify it~

It's Bellman's SAMBA class!! One word to describe "TOUGH"!!!! Just the basic technique is a killer! 8 counts per bar and every count is a technique! Gracious me!! My calves to ankle to toes were sore & aching by the end of Bellman's class. Ouch!! haha ...but its totally worth it ^^ Hmmm.. all of us are still wondering what Bellman meant by "Girls! Don't forget your squriting!" When he said that in class, everyone was like stunned and " HUh"?? haha.. Crappy instructor we've got huh? hehe..

Samba fever went on from 2pm till 6pm!! haha...

Let me introduce the Samba-fanatics:

Instructor + choreographer: Sexy Pauline

Injured Poodle : Weilin

Big Eyes: Dex

Wild Animal: Rene

King of Turns: Melvin

Was so fun!! Although it's really really hard to dance it out and all, we really enjoyed ourselves in E313 despite the sickening floor. Not forgetting Paulines choreo for Weilin&Dex hahaa.."The Animal Wild Life Choreo" NOw my toes are really GONE! Ache like mad! All were hungry ghosts after that. BAthed and off we left NYP at 8pm (stupid quarrels again)

Tks Partner Mel for accompanying me to take the train till Dobby Ghaut... haha was shocked! (well anw u've got no plans mah or else i know u'll nv do that der!! lalala)

At MindsCafe:

Family gathering cos Cousin Lan came back Spore for holiday. Mum & sis, 2 aunts and 2 cousins! =) Went MindsCafe in Boat Quay but guess what??? It was far too noisy for my Aunts and all the youngster there were like playing and screaming at their top of their lungs. Such excitement are not meant for the weaker heart i guess.hahas. But seriously it was really extremely Noisy tat even i can't take it (i don't really like noisy environment too =p)

My Aunt even went up to the waitress and said "The table next to us is too noisy, I'm having a headache now." I was like silently thinking to myself "Omg, how embarassing!" But hey, i think the waitress was stunned too la can! It's a games cafe and if u are that one single table that is so quiet sitting ard, U'll be the weird and odd one out instead! It's oblivious that we're having a wrong group in the wrong place. heex.. So we moved on to the nearest TCC (my fav TCC =))

At TCC:
Had a great laugh, jokes, updates, exchanging of ringtones and pics with all as usual. Enjoyable and gr8 to see the bond within everyone. Too bad didn't take much pics.. haiz. Cousin LAn flying back to Australia tml alrd. Bon voyage!! Alright gonna slp now. Tireds...yawnz.....

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................

2007-09-21T21:24:00.000+08:00

Had my ORION committee meeting with students and was kinda disappointed in it. 4 outta7 turned up and it wasn't a very successful meeting i felt. Oh wells, i just hope all my events will turn out well.

Trying to refrain myself from the Sun today! Skin peeling soon haha.. dry dry skin =( No run, no swim for me today!

Prac my Samba alone during lunch and realised how disgusting i look in the mirror!! OMG!! Damn tough!! My spiral turns sucked! Oh well, tml shall be Dooms Day for me in Bellman's class... hahas. Met Weilin for prac again after work. Only Dex and Fir joined us! Pathetic!

I suddenly miss performing! Oh why is it so? Feel like competing again. hahas im crazy!

2007-09-20T23:37:00.000+08:00

Short update today! Nothing much happened. As usual busy day at work and went for noon jog again under the hot sun!! haha... tighs were kinda aching today so only jogged for 4 rounds!! Weakling Rene =p Swam after that....erm ok maybe i should rephrase... went for a dip in the pool rather haha.

Yes yes for those who know me, i can't swim for nuts. I can't trap water i dunno why?? Been learning from so many for so long but still haiz...... Sadz. Any kind soul wana try and teach me?
hahas.. But hey i managed to struggle and determination made me do ONE LAP kie!! (considered an achievement for me already la!! KNS! =p) Ask me to dance?? I can go on for hours non-stop! But swim and run??? Haiz.... My weakest!!

Had prac with Mel after work!! Learnt Samba from him, what I've missed. OMG!! So difficult and i can't seem to rem the steps and get the technique right. Don't understand how the rest cant say it's fun and easy!! MUST PRAC MORE ALREADY!!

*anticipation for Sat class* winks*

Back to Work after long Holiday....

2007-09-19T18:56:00.000+08:00

"SAWADEEKA"!!! hehe...whoops! Back to Spore already!! Hi everyone!!!

I enjoyed my holiday trip in Thailand Bangkok very much. Not because I've nv been there before, Not because the things there are freaking cheap, Not because I shopped alot and also Not because I like the food there. It's the Thai people that made my trip so enjoyable! So far they are like the friendliest & warmest people around. Their hospitality is SUPERB!!

U'll never fail to get a friendly response from any Thai when u ask for directions(provided u can communicate)
They never fail to smile or at least politely reject u if they are not sure of anything.
Thais are very patient people. (despite holding the title of the "Heaviest Traffice Jam in Asia", u won't hear a single "honk" during jams)
Never show disrespect to the elderly. Thais respect the elderly very much.
They really appreciate it when u try to speak their language even if its totally wrong. (so don't be SHY!!)
*I'll go on blabbering if i don't stop soon =p*

Anyways, late for work today!!! Bad start!!
Hmmm... lunchtime was well-utilised for a 2.4km jog under the scorching hot sun with Jinlong @12pm on the dot.. hahas Yes, we are crazy. Got an immediate tan and was sun-burnt on my shoulders and arms!! 1st time to obtain a tan while jogging..haha.

Poor Canteen Daddy Mummy all fell ill. =( Get well soon!!

Update again slowly and on photos too! Clear clear clear clear clear my emails~!! Buaiz

2007-09-11T21:54:00.000+08:00

Hmm... I know i seldom wear nice flowy skirts or girly dresses, cos I'm not those demure kinda sweet gal!! Wahaha.. everyone was like commenting on my dressing lor. Its merely a knee-length skirt with flower imprints. Anw, busy day today at work. Poor Jinlong, was made fun of by Mr Wee and gang!!!

BE's prac as usual today without Peter. I reached at only 7pm and led stretching and body conditioning! Not prepared and felt that the session sucked big time!! Too long nv do already. Forget my sequence of exercise, not organised, unclear explanation etc... haiz. But overall still okay ba. Gotta buck up, Rene!! Left only at 1045pm!! Tireds...

"NUA" day at home

2007-09-09T22:05:00.000+08:00

Lalala... Slept late till 1030am
"Hmm... What should I do today?" I asked myself.
All initial plans were cancelled. Therefore ......
" I shall NUA today.." I replied myself silently with a smile =)

Did some self-grooming, tidying, tv watching with mummy and nothing much. Just in a very lazy mood. Then when I was recalling about my Thailand trip on upcoming Friday.... instead of feeling excited, I felt a little reluctant and disappointment for a moment cos I realised I'll miss the 1st SAMBA lesson with Bellman on Saturday and also next monday's BE prac! OMG!!!

Haiz... I'll just have to catch up and learn as much as i can from Mel!! Or whoever can teach me properly hahas.. Met up with sis at Jurong Point for dinner and did a little shopping ard. Heex... Bought 2 cheap cheap tops!! =) Must go on budget!! Anything, LOOK FOR THE CHEAPEST!! =p Had fun with sis!! Did some stretching too, must be more self motivated =)

Plan well for the week, Rene!! Balance up work, dance, personal space, friends, packing, planning, financial and work out =)

Slp early and be punctual for the week!! Nites all. *Muackies*

Legacy of Goh Choo San

2007-09-09T01:30:00.000+08:00

Usual BE prac today, did mostly Waltz today and Peter taught us some basics of SAMBA after he ended class!! COOLNESS!! Bellman will be coming in next week to teach SAMBA!!!! Totally excited!! I think the most enthu ones will be Mel and I, Benji and PAULINE!! wahahahh... can't wait!

After a bath, prepared to meet the rest to watch "Legacy of Goh Choo San" a ballet concert i Esplanade Theatre. Had a raisin throwing session in my office with Mel and Pauline. hahas... damn funny la with us trying to throw raisins and catch with our mouths. =p

"Legacy of Goh Choo San" was absolutely wonderful. Was my 1st ever Ballet concert I've watched. Totally mesmerised. Took a couple of pics and realised my SA juniors are all CAM WHORES!! Hmmm kinda glad I didn't go n watch Suntec Dance Comp cos the standard (i feel) dropped so much. Well, don't want to comment too much on it too cos it might be I've kinda detached myself off from Hip Hop for quite some time already.

Everything ended only about 11pm!! Went MAKANSUTRA and eat and took Express502 back home abt 1plus. Totally tired.. nights!!

Rene's 1st Pedi and Mani session =)

2007-09-07T21:59:00.001+08:00

Yay! It's Friday again! TGIF!! Supposed to dance during lunch today but ended up having a snacky-junky lunch with the usual lunch "khakis"!! Hahas.. PLus, the main purpose was to have a ghost-story -telling session!! Ooooohhhhh..... ended up Agnes's encounter was the creepiest and Joan's was more of imaginative and entertaining... of cos creepy too!! Fun!!

I need to really be determined to finish my work ASAP and not be always distracted man!! Must be efficient and not "NUA". Tells alot abt one's character. Think it's one of my flaws, so I'm starting to change. =)

Did my Pedi and Mani in Joyce's place!! Wow!! I feel pampared haha..For the 1st time in so long my feets could feel the ground (..erm more i meant) hahas...my dead skin were GONE, leaving it smooth and clean!! Happy =) Thanks so much Joyce!! Huggies & Muackies!!

2007-09-06T23:26:00.000+08:00

I believe in Karma. Do you?

Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others.

Anw, today was kinda bored and moodless initially. Many things to do, all equally urgent. Dunno where to start with. Basically, Sianz... haha
Did some stretching and body conditioning in E.313 during lunch for abt an hr then down to North Canteen with Lina and her "3 children" again for lunch. =) We ate dry Hor fun+$10 worth of chicken!! Sigh... There goes my dance prac just now...... *Boo Hoo*

Had an absolutely enjoyable lunch!! Agnes ate with us too and we laughed, joked and made fun of each other. Real fun really started at 4plus!! A conference MSN laughing session!! hahas was one of the best laugh I had after so long....till i teared!! Joan, Jinlong, Lina, Ivan and I were chatting like mad. Time to release some tension and stress!!!!

Did not go for Jazz today, well guess I'll be skipping it for quite a few weeks or maybe months! Haiz too many things to do.. Oh wells, TGIF tml!! Looking forward to a well-planned weeked ler...heex
