Psalm 18:34 It is GOD that girded me with strength;
that made my way perfect
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours
Who Am I

didnt blog for about 1 week.wahh. it seemed like ages. i had a busy week- loads of stuff. blogging, i can say, is kinda of 2nd priority to everything else.
sad to say, i didnt go to get the free scoop at b&j's today. I STILL LOVE THEIR THEIR ICE CREAM. not going doesnt make be any less loyal to the brand. i cant find strawberry cheesecake in tubs! dont think they sell them. sadd.
had grade6 ballet exam yesterday. my arches hurt terribly and i was trying to stretch it whenever the examiner was writing remarks- its hard being discreet when i was so nervous and sticky in the sweltering heat. (for those who dont know: we dance without air-con =p ) just hope i get distinction..
i was disappointed over my 2.4km run. i wanted a better timing! shessh. the run is such a mental thing- i didnt exactly feel tired, its just that i wanted to give up and start walking..aiyah.anyway, i m just aiming for 30points again. my sit-ups are terrible: we do crunches during dance, but somehow my stomach muscles seem to be non functioning.blah.
there are no major tests this week. wohoo. at least i get a break from mugging.
just realised that UK LIT TRIP is like 3weeks++ away. and i havent really studied my packing list and done enough research about that wordsworth person/writer/poet. shall just start junking all the stuff into a luggage bag and then start organizing later.
i hate being such a last minute person. but i cant help it. my geog test yesterday was so screwed. dont ask me how it went. i just scribbled and sketched some diagrams here and there..i was too distracted about my ballet exam..
its so scary when you have such smart and intelligent classmates. our class rep got full marks for bio test.ahhah.and like 16 pple recieved full marks for the last amath test. dont get me wrong, my class is not the competitive kind..but its just so scary when pple get 85% for emath which puts you in the bottom half of the class.
anyway, life is not all about academic work. there is more to that.

these few days has gone by in a whizz.dont even know what i m doing these days.
grade 6 ballet exam was today- cant say if i m going to do well anot. made a few minor mistakes here and there but anyway, its over. love my lilac-pinkish leotard colour, really subtle and pastel..MRS LIM is going to let MS CHEAH take over. i dont want her to retire so soon! crap. she is such a nice ballet teacher! she taught me for like 5 years already? i m not saying that i dont like ms cheah or anything..but i rather do graded exams then focus solely on majors. majors are good for technique and all, but where's the fun in it?sigh.
and i think i flopped my geog test today. my brain was just so BLURRY. there were so many diagrams to draw, and i think i just roughly sketched a few: now not even sure if its correct. i will just hope that our geog project will do well enough to pull up my marks
and i ran the horrid 2.4 km last tues. i realised its not very tiring but its mentally challenging..seriously, 12 rounds around our 200m tracks just beckons us to start walking at the 8th round or so..going in rounds 12 times just discourages us from striving forward.i got an A grade, it may seem good, but i think i could hve done better. aiyah.its all about setting personal standards.
i must say i enjoyed Sunday's medleys a lot. those were some of my favorites..its really nice and enjoyable singing those songs for service choir :)
its ben and jerry's promotion- free scoop thing tmr. dont think i shall make time to go though.
we had an invited guest speaker, Dr William Tan, the man who did 10 marathons in 7 continents in 70days. he was giving a talk about reaching our fullest potential. anyway, i cant really say i felt REALLY inspired and energized, but it was enriching.
my arches of my feet are extremely sore.
IF BALLET WAS EASY, THEN EVERYONE WOULD BE DOING IT.haha.

i just switched on the aircon in my room for like the 3rd time since i shifted in..have to spend more money on electricity just because of the annoying mosquitoes that have mysteriously appeared again. THEY COULD HAVE JUST MOVED FOR GOOD. for starters, there are like 3 itchy and swollen bites on each foot. i need to find a place safe from the buzzing insects so that i solely concentrate on my work without having to sacrifice one hand to ease the itch on my legs.
and SC won the hollaback competition! WHOOPS. theres an article of it in LIFE! today.. no photo, but at least there is a mention of the winners. the trophy is huge. maybe abt 50cm or so. anyway, this proves that SC has dance talent!aha.
my printer is on another long holiday and i now have to climb stairs to use my parent's com to print my lit trip script and stuff.its no joke working your hamstrings and calves when climbing stairs especially if u use your legs vigourously 5 times a week, 12-15 hrs a week dancing your legs out.

mum just left for melbourne to attend her ex-colleague/good friend's wedding.sigh. as expected, charlotte cried buckets and yelled alot.i have really no idea how she is going to cope without mum for the next 4 days.. think i might need ear muffs or something. poor thing. hope she gets a good night's rest- she might just tire out soon. mum had better call back every single day!
haha. anyway, yueyun sent me a b&j e card- regarding the free ice cream scoop! ahh..the website looks super funky- all the hilarious labels and links!
just realised i dont even watch tv except for one show: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. thats quite sadd. but then again, look at all the adverts and shows nowadays..really influential on our actions and behavious.
there is a stack of TYSs at home, or shld i say FYS? now our books are quite pathetic...and all the teachers are complaining we wont get enough practice with the books half the thickness as compared to the previous years..
haha.

proud to announce that i have watched my first chinese theatre play! ahah.
it was called mao1 ren2 or catman. surprisingly, i didnt have much problem understanding the play itself, only that the topic/purpose of the play was confusing- that says loads about my chinese language standard..anyway, lao shi was so pleased with us : on account of being on time, not making a fool out of ourselves in public and being polite that she gave us
50 DOLLARS.
couldnt believe it. and she told us to get ice cream from the canteen as a treat for ouselves.
and guess who are the winners again? 3 SINCERITY! whoopies. we won the best class award for term one. seeing that classroom cleanliness will be included this time round..i have doubts abt winnning. our class is really filthy. and the duty roster is just being stapled there collecting dust.
channel news asia came today to do a documentary on BIRU- the upcoming young talent! haha. yup, as expected, hsien fa put on his best character and demostrated the excercises in front of the camera. and when they interviewed him abt biru, he was giving these short laughs that sounded so weird.. biru is a good dancer okay.. no wonder hsien fa can say all these good things abt her without feeling fake at all lah.
hope to see SC Dance on channel news asia sometime soon!!!

i m desperately trying to complete a task- extremely last minute thing.
PROJECT WORK COVER PAGE + BRAINSTORMING IDEAS.
if u know me well enough, i always tend to leave this sort of unimportant thing until its really necessary. (and i m the group leader).. have an assessment tmr, and i am now trying to adjust the layout so that it wont be so unsightly- i have ZERO creativity and designing skills. not to also mention- i am terrible at using photoshop. ahh.
so what may seem to be an easy task is super fustrating for me to accomplish. then again, putting up the product of my hard labour (horrible content page) will be much to embarassing for me.
haha.
and guess who got full marks for her math test again. duh. RHEA TAN! smart pig. she never fails to surprise us with her perfect scores.
if everyone was as smart as her, we wont need to study already.
sad to say..i am nowhere near her intelligence. :(

lalala.TODAY WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL DAY!
three things happened.
1. MY CLASS, 3 SINCERITY '06 won the class championships..and alot of credit goes to our dear athletes: carrie, daphne, clarissa, charlene, lab partner; emelyn!!you guys were superb. anyway, we were rather enthusiastic and excited over all the events esp 4 by 100m relay!! 3SY rocks. i mean, it was really the first time i was so rarr rarrh over sports day! i love my class- ever so united and competitive! wohoo! cheering; "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE SCHOOL"..
2. Dance won 2nd place for the 8 by 50m relay..and we didnt even have an official part in the event in the first place.. guess the school kinda forgot abt us dancers. hsien fa's long classes probably paid off, we have all improved our stamina and speed!! haha. we were all so high after we won, we did like grande jetes for 100m on the track. ahah. and watching biru run was super scary lah..yue yun was like: "if we tell her that ms clarke loves her, she will probably run even faster!" that was super hilarious. =)
3. and toa payoh stadium is just next to the table tennis association, there was this huge poster of li jiawei and then yue yun was looking at a group of ladies walking, and then she was going: ISNT THAT LI JIAWEI IN THE FLESH? haha. super coincidental!! i didnt actually recognize her at first- she has light dyed hair.that was quite cool!
and we went to eat ben and jerry's today after sports day. COOKIE DOUGH! ahh. so nice.

had dance today again. and today's class was even worse than yesterday's. my hamstrings and calves were really sore and my developpe a la seconde + grande ronde de jambe en pointe was horrid. and my pirouettes were totally off. also made too many mistakes in the grande allegro section. and i still could see hsien fa watching me at the corner of my eye!! argh.
quite irritated over not getting the style of nevermore right lah..haha. and janice taught me how to do the stomach contraction thing today..the way she described is so funny..i hate auditions. and hsien keeps on postponing nevermore auditions..that makes my so super nervous. ahh.
and just before i was studying bio this afternoon..i took a short nap. and guess what. I DREAMT OF HSIEN FA AND HIS CLASS..This seriously implies that taking his classes and rehearsals are seriously pressurising and traumatizing.haha.
oh dear. think i will try even harder to work on my technique and expression for the next dance session.
and i do hope i will get like over 85 for my RAD grade 6 exam. i think i might faint of shock if i dont get a distinction.
