contemp jazz/gracomm
Haven't posted photos in such a long time.
In quite a dilemma now because of my timetable. Yesterday I went to town to sign up for O School membership with Ziqi and her classmate Carolyn. On top of the membership I also signed up for a new course, Contemporary Jazz. I've been really keen to delve into this new style for a while now. Before going to US, my previous dance course ended (how timely) and I left the country with the decision to resume dancing after I'm back.
Having finished the course, I was free to go into Open Class in that particular style. That was what I planned to do, only 3 weeks of no-dancing left me back in my state of nerves again :( It took me years to start dancing because previously, I was so paiseh/afraid of starting. I'm a terrible dancer, not like Ziqi who takes to dancing really quickly. It takes me ages to really get into the groove. So in a way, I'm glad I'll finally be going back to dance next week - I'll be going for the Open Class next Wednesday with Ziqi, Carolyn and Cherrie :) Have not seen Cherrie for quite some time too!
So back to my dilemma. The Contemp Jazz class is on Thursdays, at 6.30 PM. It's held in town where O School is. UNFORTUNATELY, my classes in school end at 6 PM on Thursdays (well, 5.45 PM really, if classes end 15 minutes before the hour like they're supposed to). I feel so stupid I can't believe I neglected to check my timetable properly. I referred to it when I was signing up but I thought it ended at 5 PM. I. Am. So. Stupid.
Now I have to rush to town after class every Thursday for 6 weeks (there are 8 weeks in the course but by the time school starts I would have gone to 2 already, thank goodness) and get to dance in half an hour. Which is almost impossible because at 6 PM, it will be peak hour and it's gonna take perhaps an hour for me to get to town!!!! Let's not forget I need time to change into my yoga pants as well :< This is so upsetting cos I don't want to be late for dance. Now I can only hope Gracomm (the last class on Thursdays) ends on time, at 5.45 PM. And, erm, stupid as this sounds, I went to Google "Ngee Ann Mass Comm Gracomm" to see what people would say about it LOLOL and it seems like Gracomm is a pretty stressful/project-loaded/time consuming module.
But I believe the world will work everything out for me if I believe in this strongly enough.
Anyway, here's a photo of Cheeyuan. ISN'T IT NICE?!?! He's smiling so naturally! This was taken when our class (4E4, that is) went Sentosa a couple of weeks back at the beginning of this month. We had dinner at Just Acia (the Dhoby Ghaut branch).
He was using his phone and I called him by making 'ch ch ch' sounds like
how Zhixian and I used to do in Sec 3. He got so sensitive then,
sometimes when we're talking and he hears the 'ch' sound he'll turn
around even when we're not calling him at all LOL.
This is a photo of a Polaroid we got for free when I went to town with Zexun a while back, on the day we went fortune telling. Swatch was having some event and we got approached to take a free Polaroid. The Polaroid's with Zexun now. I was griping about the 洞 (gap) in my fringe. :< This photo is quite nice though, although my face looks a little round.
The day after I went out with Zexun (or at least I think it's this day), I went to watch The Smurfs (the film, not the TV cartoon) with Theodore and Joyce. We think we have a curse, because it rained like the world was going to end. We went to Cathay to watch the movie, which was just like how it was the last time our class went to Cathay too in hopes of watching Kungfu Panda. Similarly, it rained heavily and relentlessly too and we all got drenched. When we got to Cathay, Kungfu Panda was sold out or something but we chose not to watch it and ran back to Plaza Singapura (thereby absorbing more water into our clothes) to catch Pirates of the Carribean instead. This time round, the exact same thing happened, only we didn't run back to Plaza Singapura.
I'm quite surprised cos The Smurfs was better than I'd expected it to be. Whilst waiting for the movie to start, on the screen we saw the movie poster for The Hunger Games, and I was pleasantly surprised that Theo had read the books too. I took a picture of the poster outside the movie theatre (with Theo at the side hahaha) (refer above). We slacked at MOS Burger after the movie for hours and had dinner with Josh at Nando's thereafter, where Weida slipped me a lot of vouchers LOL.
Because my wonderful cousin Shun had spare tickets, we - my brother and I - went to watch the F1 practice matches on Friday with him. It was a good experience :) My brother actually managed to fall asleep there, he had earplugs on, but still ._. He said he was really too tired. I now know a little more about F1 and racing than I did before, kudos to Shun. Above is a picture of a a bun and sausage (which the store owner called a "hot dog") which cost us... 10 bucks. I WAS SO SURPRISED I thought one was $5 or something?? Because they didn't put up a price list.
I have decided to do my best to get rid of my bad habit of procrastination. Next semester is going to be inherently busy (or so I've heard) and you know what? I think that is a good thing! Being too free makes me feel useless and when I do too little things, I always feel like I've wasted my day. I know when I get busy/stressed/pressed for time, I would, in the heat of the moment, lament I wish I could slack and things like that. But I know now that I'm the sort of person who would rather be busy with tons of things. These nights I head to sleep with the nagging thought at the back of my mind that I've wasted my day away. So next semester, I must not procrastinate so I will get everything done efficiently. Then I won't feel like I'm whiling my life away. So, bring it on!!!
All right time to shower!
