Hey.
Don't lose the passion alright?
Take a break, take a break from dance, so you don't get sick of it, or over burdened by the way you deprove when you lose the passion, and then you deprove more because u lose more hope etc. It is a cycle and we should avoid it!
Sec 3 life is hard yes, but i am sure that we'll miss it very soon, so treasure every bit of it!
sorry i'm a lil tired....can't speak coherently....
but don't lose hope.
dont' push yourself too hard. take a break dancers, rekindle your passion.

Rawr i hate sec 3 life
many people do
many people are suffocating and choking under the pile of stupid proposals/worksheets/revision for tests/whatever and their deadlines
bye bye
i want to study because i don't want to be last
okay let's hope we manage to get through fine (:
okay i guess hern is not suffocating. although she's human i strongly suspect that she is SUPER human (: let's all go steal hern hern's intelligence/resilience/time management/efficiency/smartness et cetera
one good thing happen and that was ESIP test was quite easy! they obv. used the booklet before and as a result some people could see what the previous people wrote for as their answers for some of the questions -__-
i want my therapist back ):

hello everyone.
because if you have tried logging into blogger you'll know that you have to log in with a googel account instead!
well i've conveniently used my hotmail account so account username is now
angels_forgotten@hotmail.com under the NEW blogger,
and the password for blogging will be the old password, plus an exclamation mark! so it's like ______!
=D
well. the only way to deal with things is to think positive.
and i've just convinced myself to love sec 3.
Yeah not all things go the way it should.
but ignore those things, solve them step by step, and look at the better things in a new perspective.
Treat it as a challenge, a chance to prove yourself, to the world, and most importantly, for yourself.
We can't go back to Sec 2, so why brood over it?
Besides, isn't sec 3 more exciting in a way?
Convince yourself that it is.
For me at least, my commitments IN school will be cca, council, academics.
People see it as stressful(when i have other commitments out of school).
I'm a GEP student, expectations of me to score well isn't any less than scholars and smarties from 301. Even my classmates' expectations of my academic results are high.
Council, frankly speaking, i'm aiming to be in exco, because i'm willing to give in my very very best.
CCA, many of you will know that there was this period of time when laoshi kept praising me. and just suddenly i've lost my forte, i need to work hard to get it back, and i got scolded by laoshi too. I'll need to adjust my mindsets, to motivate myself to work harder.
So am i stressed? am i heavily burdened?
I sure hell am.
Do I cry and succumb to the stress?
I sure do. but i keep it controlled. Why? partly also because everyone thinks i'm mentally strong. But i tell myself, everytime you challenge your own limits, everytime you tell yourself not to cry, not to
waste your time mulling in self pity, you're getting stronger. The stronger you are, the better you cope with it the next time round.
What am i expected to do? Continuing mulling in self pity? well i'm telling you, NO WAY!
isn't that just stressing yourself out? Aren't there people suffering worse things? Aren't there people out there, people in Nanyang, doing their best for something they love, aren't there peopel out there with greater stress and more impt things to worry about than just, school life?
I'm not going to think it's stressful. I'm going to work towards being a SUPERWOMAN yay. but coping with your own commitments that you've
chosen, coping with your life isn't exclusive to a superwoman. I'm sure all of you can do it as well.
Look at it this way, look at your commitments this way(since i presumably am one of those with the most commitments and expectations to fulfil so far, excluding my OWN expectations for myself):
This is an opportunity given to you, either by your wonderful academic results last year, or by teachers etc.
Do others get this chance to stretch themselves?
Not everybody get this chance to develop themselves.
If you don't haev council work, if you aren't in one of the best classes, if your stress seemingly comes from CCA, think about it. Do other CCAs have this great(though stressful) expectation to fulfil, a GOLD WITH HONOURS and an opening ceremony or a closing ceremony at the least?
Do they have this chance to have enjoyed the prestige, the BRANDING of belonging to Nanyang Chinese Dance?
i'm not trying to promote our own cca to the limit, but to raise an example, even Gary Tang/Mr Kuo vaguely knows how much we have to put in together with laoshi to enjoy this RESPECT.
Not everybody have as many chances as you.
So instead of getting too burdened by them, work towards them. With the support from friends, teachers, you look forward to having them fulfilled, having them achieved.
Appreciate them before you regret.
Always remember,
it's Mind Over Body.
oh and it's hern hern here, and hern hern there -points downwards- xD

hello all.
i know we were promised full of surprises in Sec 3, i know we were warned of the leap in academics.
different people have different perceptions of our sec 3 life,
but it's rather evident that many of us a are rather glum nowadays....even during cca.
so thought i wld just post...
and say,
HANG IN THERE!!!
everything will eventually be fine(:
look on the bright side, and make life easier for yourself(:

i may not be going for that stuttgart ballet thing...
i am waiting for the rehearsal times to see if it clashes with anything or simply takes up too much time...
it's just to go and be an extra, as a merchant. no ballet background needed, just stand there for a few minutes on stage. so it's basically like a free theatre pass. plus you get $100 for transportation. all you need is to be at least 165. can pass lar if you are 164 like me :D anyway yah and you only have to attend to rehearsals. one after the audition and one b4 the first day of performance. there are 2 night performances and one matinées. plus stuttgart is one of the best in the world so it would be really shuang to go.
then anyway for those who are interested there is a stuttgart ballet master class. i dno when though. didnt bother to remember since i dont even qualify. maybe Anna can (: it says at least 15, Advanced. It's free but by registration only. should be really good (:
you see it's quite stressful and sad to be in a class full of SMARTY PANTS. and you will just feel like a fool. plus my table partner laura lee always complete so many ws before the teacher even asks us to. and it always isnt very successful when i try to revise a bit before 7. i will definitely be last in class lor ): for the last chemistry quiz i was like at least last 4 or 5 i think. never put bracket, then saw wrongly ): always making these dumb mistakes. oh well. then math i haven't been doing as much exercises like last year so it's sure to deprove ): me being a not so efficient person doesn't help either. so i shall strive to be more efficient (: oh and i have figured out that i simply CANNOT study with Liwen. No exact reason as to why but when i do work with her...i complete really little work ): i miss my 'homework partner' who is also y^2. i miss my last year teachers. especially the one who scolded us the most ):
haha i haven't done my bio ws which is due in 2 days time ): plus my yue4 du2 bi3 ji4 thing so bye bye

Sigh didnt manage to go dance studio today although i was in school ):
helping my mother pack stuff for teachers workshop and i thought it would only need a few hours ...in the end it was like nearly 6 hours ): i got so sick of hearing the noise made by the plastic bag. because i was suppose to pack stuff into these er bags
haha i'm aching! my hammies, shoulders, biceps, inner thighs, neck etc... hammies quite bad but the rest arent as achy-ish as expected (: my hammies are pathetic! my biceps can do 2-3kg but my hammies cant even do 1kg properly continuously ): they are lousier than before )): deprove alr!
oh yesterday i wore ny pe tee during physio, then he suddenly noticed after so many sessions that im from NY -__- yay he said he knows it's quite a good and smart school (he's not singaporean okay!) then he asked if it's all girls....so obviously i said yah then he said 'less fun but also less trouble' i think it's less noise! okay not necessarily. nvm it doesnt make a difference to me to be in a all girls or mix school (:
anyway chua hern hern i dont think making announcements here are very effective ): because not many come here!
i want to gain muscle and flex! i havnt touched my back for ages.
