The definition of DANCE i found online which cannot be wrong.

I loved dance. And I still love it. I have been dancing since 5 years old and I'm 15 years old now so if you do your maths, I've been dancing for the past 10 years, and this year is the 11th year I'm dancing. It feels just like yesterday that I have started dancing. I'd listen to a song and dance to it, thinking of dance steps, watching dance videos and everything else. When I dance, I can forget about everything else-- troubles, homework, school. I feel happy when I dance. Come to think of it, my dance life have been a really great one.

Ballet, especially, had always been a part of me ever since I learnt it at 5. The gracefulness, the music, the steps, it all attracted me when I watched ballet shows on tv. I would mesmerised and watch till the end. And I learnt ballet. Pre-primary, primary, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-- and I stopped. People say it would be a waste. But it clashed with other commitments and now I'm in a dilemma, stuck to choose whether I want to continue ballet or not. All these years, ballet had been the foundation which trained me to become a better dancer. But now... it's a different story. I've quit for almost half a year now, I'm so not flexible anymore and gaining weight at a high speed. So.....
Flashback 2005 and 2012. In 2005 we had our first public performance, CROSSROADS. When we were one of the few youngest dancers so we didn't have anything really really ballet-ish, our item was called "the little maids of eden" and many would laugh at it. But that was when we were young. Memories were made then within the ballet dancers of our grade. And last year, our second public performance, VOYAGE. As we have moved up to a higher grade, grade6, we danced a piece entitled Grande Valse Brillante. It was 5-minutes long and it took 6 months of practices and extra practises for us to perfect the steps. That pretty costume everyone had always wanted to wear, we were finally wearing it. The feeling when our song ended at our last performance, the tinge of sadness because we know, that that was the last time that we were going to dance that piece. I miss VOYAGE 2012 especially the dancers of GRAND VALSE BRILLANTE.

When people ask me what was my CCA in primary school, I'd answer honestly, Indian Dance. And they will be shocked. Well, what's wrong with dancing Indian Dance? Being in WRPS Indian Dance and getting the Gold/Gold with Honours awards during SYF, school performances, public performances are parts and parcel of memories... in dance. You know so I don't only learn ballet, but I learn Indian dance too. Well I think people just find it unbelievable that I was from Indian Dance CCA. It's an experience, isn't it? Dancing a dance which is completely different from what people would expect.

Moving on to Secondary School, I've joined International Dance, where we dance different types of dance. There's be wushu, ballet, and other culture dances too. In CCHY ID, I had been given the opportunity to take part in NDP2012, live, on the floating platform. That was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. Performing for our nation, Showing our Singapore Spirit, our national pride. Performances in school and all, learning the steps and bonding. The really really good friends I made in dance (you know who you are) who will make my dance days end on a high note. Who will stretch with me and study with me and dance with me. My dance friends, a few of my bestfriends, I love them. they are the ones who make me excited to go to dance. And they allowed me to have a greater and stronger passion for dance.

Growing up dancing, dance has always been part of my life and it always will.♥ I won't let anything stop me from dancing and my passion for dance will always stay strong, forever.

Prayer night today was awesome.
A W E S O M E.
Well before that we had combined worship with the contest and had a 5-minute fellowship. Talked with one campus person, Puay yan (?) Who kinda knows us like babysat us or something. Hahahah cool we had lots of babysitters when we were young.
We had kind of like a different style today, like praying as a whole group. And our group was so small today hahaha but aWESomeT Cl9ud :-)
Really really hope friendship in the teens will grow stronger and stronger together. It's been nine months since we joined the teens and everything is so great. There's awesome lessons, fellowship and friends. Planning for post-exam hangouts already hehehe. ♥
I love Central Chrisitian Church Youth Ministry. I feel really blessed to be part of the big family in Christ.

(Okay recently I've been obsessed with the beanie-like thing and taking half the face hahaha I actually have more pictures buty phone auto-deleted them away oh no! :o)

"If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?" One of my few favourite recent songs. And and and I'm in love like literally with a couple of other songs too like Marry Me (Jason Derulo), Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus), Show Me What I've Been Looking For (Derrick), Beautiful Soul (Jessie Mc Cartney), BEST SONG EVER (ONE DIRECTION), Clarity (Zedd) (the lyrics up there), True Love (Pink) and like so many many more. That's because I've been listening to 98.7fm recently when I should have been studying for EOYs.
So okay I'm posting this blog while my sister and cousin are busy uhh..... watching a butterfly's cousin die. I have absolutely no idea why I here man I'm supposed to be studying for emath paper1 tomorrow but, I am so screwed man. Like Sec1 sec2 work will be tested and I have forgotten literally everything????? And did I mention I don't understand some topics of this year's emath T.T /cries a river bc/ ah sigh. Papers started on wednesday which is yesterday and we had history, english paper one, ss and chinese paper one. Andddddddddd these papers are really no hope one la. Omg. I really...... don't know what to do right now. If my EOY results are terrible and horrible, that's literally the end of my life.
And so I was wondering how bloggers like Naomi Neo, Peishi, Xia Xue and Qiuqiu get famous for blogging. Probably post some meangingful things and all. (I read a short <idk what word> on Naomi's instagram or something) Even if I want more people to read my blog, I honestly have no idea what to post about because I'm a major sucker at talking about deep stuffs. And because of all the boring crap I blog about, I doubt anyone reads it LOL. Because I only.... blog about my life and what happens to me and me and me and me (omg so self-centred) AND also because my english vocabulary is really really limited and all my blog posts will contain same words LOL.
ANYWAYSSSS Monday was Saikang Warriors' 400th day and last friday was our one year one month! And what did we do on our 400th day? Share unglams. HAHAHAHA. Still love you all. ♥ sadly its just before EOYs so we couldn't have a celebration. But we actually planned post-exam-celebraotion for Saikang people hahahah. ♥ love the saikang warriors so much. My best friends in the student council, joking and fooling around, making SC times so fun and funny and awesome. The people who look serious while doing duty, but actually really really crazy on the inside. Celebrating birthdays and all, I'm really amazed at how far we have gone from sec1 when we didn't know one another, till now. I really really enjoy times spent with them. And I hope our friendship will last 10ever and 11ever and 12ever!
Why am I so random now LOL. Okay let's go study. Enough for today let's go study for emath. ANYWAYS TOMORROW IS FRIDAY YAYYYYYY.

Okay so hi guys this will probably be my last post until eoy ends, because eoy starts tomorrow and I am totally prepared and excited. (Sarcasm sensed?) And well I totally can't wait for after the eoys. Already made many many plans like sleepovers, outings, lunches and not forgetting overseas trip!!! Yup so anyway quick updates for the past week. :-)
Last Thursday, Tricia and Dayna came to our house to study. Not one of the most productive days but well A+ for attempt.
Last friday, 13/9/13, Yean was baptised! Yean wanted to keep it as a surprise from the Singaporean teens but Vanthan already instagrammed it the previous day la. :P an so I asked Mara and the next few may be Chhairat, Hour and Chealin hehehehe ;)
And on Saturday, it was Elysia's baptism! Went to church to witness her baptism omggggg. Hahaha so happy for her, my best friend since 4 years old ♥♥♥ (because our mums were close friends since 998629224819 years ago) hehehe.
And well on Tuesday we asked Ms Serena about the vietnam trip and there's a high chance.... that it might be cancelled. I'm like "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" sigh. Ah never thought Sumatra would be my last overseas trip with Student Council. Okay so in sec1 and sec2 I have been to 3 overseas trip eith council. And they are the malaysia camp in sec1, guangzhou, and sumatra. Well I can vaguely remember what we did in malaysia. The water activities and campfire and basically bonding with seniors because our group had seniors, the other group didn't have. Made plenty of new friends like I remember Sheryl was my roommate and there was a toad in our "balcony" hahha. Well having Sheryl as a room mate is fun cos you'll be laughing your butt off. Well. Kinda. Hahahaa. And Guangzhou. A week that I survuved without phone and just sweating, running, doing the activites. Omg the running part would be one of my worst nightmares. But I definitely felt better after the 20+ rounds around the gathering area. Haha. And the soya bean milk which was so. Good. Amazing. Yummy. That we just refilled and rerefilled. Ah so nice. I'll always remember 够力组 and how we easily won one of the games because our cheer was 4 characters long hahahaha. I miss guangzhou and my friends. And lastly Sunatra. Ah sumatra. Theanual work we did there. So tiring. But making friends with the lil ones, going to places with beautiful sceneries, with awesome friends. Is totally worth it. I miss the little kids there....
And so anyways. Back to reality. Yesterday, Wednesday (18/9/13) we saw Zandra and Kexin at backgate after school nyehehehe and walked with them. They were discussing where to eat, ishi mura or khatib and then they chose khatib. So we joined them hehehe. My closest SC juniors and kexin has the same phone as Zandra and she looks like she doesn't know how to use it xD which is so funnyyyyyy. Had a laughter-filled lunch with them and we talked about a lot of things like EXCO and guangzhou because they are going this december (OMG I MISS GUANGZHOU). And because our school was organising a trip to beijing, I was looking at a few photoes of beijing in P5 which is like, 4 years ago. I miss beijing and my primary school bffs.♥ well because most od my bffs went beijing too so yayyyyyy. Hahaha. Reminisce the primary school days. The first trip overseas with school. Uhh.... not really I think 2nd or 3rd hahaha. Yup.
And today (19/9/13) we saw Zandra and Kexin at the traffic light. They were one junction before us and we told them to wait for us hahhah. And they waited! Kexin was wearing contacts and she looks more china like that hahaha. Walked to school with them yeyyyyyy.
And so end of years starts tomorrow and well I saw this quote on instagram which is kinda like an inspiration but it might be a lil too late but here it goes: "don't count the days, make the days count." Goodluck to everyone for EOYs! Already started making plans for the hols but. :P hahahaha ok let's do this. 

And we went up to join the interactive games for upper sec and used the opportunity to tell SCs to write wishes for teachers. And after all that crap was concert segment. :D  before that we tried doing our duties but to no avail oh well. So we went backstage and I took a picture with our dearest president and also listened to Eugina give (not all) the council juniors a prep talk xD and so the concert began after that. Me Kaiwen Sheryl and Joey sat in front foe some reason hahaha. :P the first item was chinese dance and before the item, two crazy fellas shouted "EUGINA!!!" And followed by some 3G girls behind shouting "ROXANNE!!!" hahahah and at the end of the performance we were shouting Eugina's name and she smiled (a little). Then it was the emcees for teachers day celebrations segment and we were there cheering for Daniella and Danish who were our council juniors. :) yay! First item was our juniors' item! Kaiwen videoed them down and we were there all excited for their performance.

And as promised guys, you got standing ovations by me Joey and Sheryl (so embarrassing) we were standing and clapping and shouting hahahaha. COUNCIL PRIDE! And followed by other great performances too! Like a junior playng safe and sound on a violin and Alfred playing Kiss the Rain and River Flows in You on the piano OMG.

And one humorous thing was that the popper couldn't be popped and councillors and teachers on stage were trying to pop it hahaha other than that, all went well. :) at the end, Mr Yap made a speech. And while the almni stood up, we tried spotting our seniors. Saw Zhiyi, Pogsiew, Arif, Kelvin and Sandrina! When we were dimissed, went to take a picture with Sandrina, which was photobombed by Zhiyi and Pogsiew. LOL.
