Finally the string of comps has ended. The next one is gona be in KL end August. Louis and Cat comp - TDA comp - Allan Tan's comp ... Our dancing improved over these 3 comps, and dancing on the floor is no longer THAT tiring, have time to performed and to smile and am able to USE those muscles throughout all 4 dances. That's great improvement! :) Not, it's time to string all those 'new discoveries' together. We always learn something new each comp. From how to look big and how to use the centre, and how not to lose the axis..., and the speed and how not to look flat...if we can string those up, we're there!

I have mixed feelings for yesterday's comp. Happy that I finally made it to Standard Novice finals, and the dancing in the video now looks so much more right. so, I know what to improve in Standard now, compared to not knowing what to do. :P Happy also that we're consistent - finalist in Latin pre-am again. Sad - we're made sixth place again, and I swear we don't deserve that placing. This time, I'm pretty sure and confident. I will continue to improveeeee!

congrats to all winners of the comp. great effort people~

Why do I always lack confidence?
Why do I always think so much?
Why do I have so much pride?
That's why I've lost my smile. :(

Tell me what u like about me.
Tell me what makes me special.

Self assurance is sth I TRUELY LACK. The strength finder test is just so true.

I'm feeling extremely guilty towards my lil ones.

I am making a promise here. Hehe. From tml onwards, I shall walk them every Monday - evening with no dance! Every Sunday mornings I shall bring them out too...! This is the least I must fulfill. And I can make it happen with my busy schedule. :) just a lil more discipline. Things can be done easily.

Pampered myself over the weekends. And feeling good. I simply need more time for myself... So, what did I do this weekend?

- danced on saturday (ok not very happy)
- facial at kose
- walked dogs with mom on sunday morn
- bathed dogs (yeah! I luv to see them clean and smelling nice)
- ride at west coast park with JQ
- caught Korean dancical 'sachoom' at the esplanade
- tea time at max brenner (for free! Cos of the booo booo this waiter made. )
- hair treatment at Ji Won + JQ had a haircut too
- dinner at sakae
- back at JQ place to watch my fav pp stream!

Just completed an issue write-up. Things are getting tougher these days...so many things to do with so little time.

I'm sick, again. Sore throat, fever, muscle ache, blocked nose. Ai ya, common flu la. Had this since last Friday, and self medication didn't help. Made it worse by exerting too much energy on sat training and doing comp on sun. But luckily my hard work paid off, 2nd for three dance and 4th for four dance. We need to keep on improving - in this direction. Gona work on the perfomance element of it now and add flavour to the dancing.

In abt 2 weeks, I will be a year older. :) and hopefully become wiser too. Life has been kind to me so far, and I'm thankful for everything I have now.

My birthday wishes -
1) good health and lots of love at home;
2) our love never dies :) happy 4yrs 3 mths;
3) up up up the rank in dance;
4) happy dogs!
5) gd performance at work;
6) fulfilling lifeeeee!!! In any form keke... As long as I'm happy!!!

I got the muji bag organizer for siew lim and made a special delivery to her house. :) she was so happy and her hubby just couldn't understand her euphoria. It's a girl's thing. I was very glad that I made her day, just by this small little action. And I wonder why i felt this way - then I realize I am happy to do things for my close friends and ppl I treasure.

Friends. I define my friends as ppl who are truely concerned about me, as a person, and who will put themselves in my shoes and say and do things in my best interest. If some things are best left unsaid for the simplest and most basic reason - if it hurts my feelings, i will never get to hear them. Cos it is the most basic form of respect and courtesy.

On the contrary, I have ppl ard me who do not hve the slightest sense of empathy - I mean empathy and not sympathy. They say things knowingly to hurt u, and put u down - even when deep down inside u know that what is said are the untruths. Yet u have enough common sense and not enough time to correct the assumption made. In this kinda of situation, this person shall be put on my watch list. If it recurs - u are no longer on my list, not even on 'watch' status.

my post made me sweat. Haha. But well, if u hv been sincere to me, rest assured u r fine. And I can safely say - most of u are fine. Ting is highly irritable now. Hence the post.

Night

Current location: vivo city.
Activity: pedi
Company: mom
Mood: stoned. Relaxed.

Just sent dogs for grooming. Sunday is usually the only day of the week that I get to choose what I wanna do. And the day always seem to be shorter than the other days. :( happy times always go by faster, isn't it?

So what have I got for today? Meeting JQ for lunch later...and going to try on this ballroom costume, hopefully it fits and I can start bargaining the price and I will get to hv a new look for the next comp (of cos improved dancing too!!)

A friend asked me when I will stop dancing. The answer is: till the day I NEED to stop. Otherwise I will always plan my time so that I can still do dancing competitively. Dance: what is it that keeps me going?
1) keeping my body in shape
2) the desire to move up the ranking
3) the adrenaline rush on the dance floor :D ooowww
4) lastly. I am one of the lucky souls who have found sth I love, and can do well in. So...what's stopping me?

I have little time to think about life. Sitting back...i realize I'm getting old! But yet, I have grown wiser, richer (aha...fei hua. Who will get poorer, so nth to be proud of), found someone I love and who is willing to take care of me, met my doggies who have given life a different meaning... Matured at work, and improved in my dance. What more can I ask for?

Love life.
