8009

Wow, for the first time I actually even bother to write down a last post for 2008. Maybe because I promised my daughter that I’ll do it.

Promises, that is something that I hold on to very dearly. All humans err, that’s why I try my best to keep all the promises that I’ve made. To you whom I’ve made my promises to, I might not fulfill those promises very soon, but I’ll definitely keep my word. Even if I realize that the promise I made is beyond my reach, I’ll definitely make it up to you. And if you realize that I have forgotten my promises to u, give me a hard knock in the head cause I only have 400MB of memory left in me. (a new promise for 2009, I will be more open in my blog)

2008, has helped me to realize my dreams, well not all, partly. I have finally realised my inner passion for the sea. I took up dinghy sailing courses and have enjoyed every second of it. Getting closer to my dream, I learned to sail on a keelboat, a J24 to be exact. My soul simply flew everytime I’m on the yacht. Along the way, I met new friends that I wish to established a stronger relationship with.

Realising new dreams and new passion didn’t make me forget my old flame. Dancing. I danced my way through hard times towards the end of 2008, and it made me a happier person. Well I thought that I could totally give it up, but who can throw away their dear heart. Well, I guessed I should stop trying to totally throw it away and embraced it’s presence in my little heart.

Swimming, yes, I have finally took it up and completed it. Through swimming I have also made new friends and strengthen old ones. Hehe..

2009 is going to be another chapter, another journey. Thunderstorms may heading towards us but as they say, after every dark thunderstorms, there’ll be that new ray of hope in the sky. To all my friends who I have known and yet to meet. I wish everyone a better year!! It might not be very good, but it’ll definitely be better. Forgive me for all my wrongdoings and lets start afresh.

Cheers to 2009!!! See you soon!!

Loves,
Noorin

Something is bothering me and i have no idea wad it is.

Recently, me, bryan and seth went to sentosa to tan and just let looose. (not that i need to get any darker). Something totally not positive happened which i will not mention coz it really breaks my heart to even think about it. To wrap our sentosa trip, we found a verry very good spot to just scream our lungs out to the sea. It was then, that I found out smth unknown is bothering me. Till today, I dunnoe wad izzit.

Quick Update..

Sorry all for not touching my blog for a very longggg time.

Basically nothing big really happen. It's only that I just came back from a camping trip at Pulau Hantu with a lil bit of sun-burn.

If ya'll dunnoe, it's still in Singapore waters but you'll need to ride on a boat to get there and tt's wad i did!! It's been yrs since i've been on a boat and the feeling was exhilirating!! It's a very simple island with the only modern technology you have there is, the toilet, no lights no nothing. However, there are TONS of coconut trees and i drank and ate the coconut till i had to shit. Partly cause i ate it in the morning.

It may be simple, but the activities there are endless.. Here's wad i did to fill time:

1) Learn to climb a coconut tree, in a dress. (ended up with scars)
2) Snorkled and swim around the island. (the water is so so so clear)
3) Fishing. (i'm just the spectator)
4) Put a net at the entrance of the lagoon to catch fish. (managed to get a few including, a small shark and a crab)
5) Cross the sea to get to the neighbouring island. (not as amazing as it sounds. the seabed is so level that even at high tide, i can cross the sea w/o swimming. When it's low tide, the entire lagoon has no water at all)
6) Night swimming. (we swam ard 10pm onwards)

I'm very entertained by the simplicity of the island. When swimming cum snorkelling around the island, it feels like paradise. I got to see the various sea creatures, including starfish, small swordfish etc.

But one of the highlights of the trip was definitely the sunset. It was beautiful.

AItez, i'll come back soon enuf and update!!

so nice...

I went out to sea last tues and wed.. not exactly out to the high seas, but I went on-board a yacht at the marina.. well i wished it was mine.. haha.. coz the yacht is soooper sexy can!! and the skipper (someone who drives the boat for a profession) who was on-board was pretty cool too, he was very friendly, therefore very easy to chat with him.. haha.. anyways when i was on-board, and standing at the bow (in-front), i just feel so calmed.. it's a sensation that i really cant explain, and my passion for the sea came rushing back, it's like it's being awaken from a deep slumber.. probably not many people know, but I have a thing for the sea, just like my never-ending love for dancing, i have a never-ending love for the sea too.. itz only that, due to busyness, i have lost contact with the mermaid in me.. haha.. so people, if you see a darker me, you should know why..

M&M's

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.
Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one
as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one.
I have the opportunity in my hands, but i'm not utilising it to the fullest.. i'll change, i promise..

A MUST TRY!!

Listen Up Ya'LL!!! To all daring food eaters, there's one breakfast that you must try, and try it quick before it dissapears.. and thst's the Mc Griddles!!! ooooo, its awesome.. i absolutely LOVE it!! ok, lemme tell you more about it.. It's like a burger but with a twist.. it contains sausage, egg and melted cheese but get this, its' buns contains maple syrup.. when u take your first bite, u feel that syrup oozing out to your tongue.. itz a mix of pure sweetness and tasty meat.. sounds disgusting?? well, i tried and i love it.. why dun YOU go ahead and have a bite at it and tell me wad you think about it.. as for me, i hope Mac makes it permanent on the breakfast menu :)

CARS!! ep.1

a few days ago... i think it was a Friday.. i had quite the time of my driving life!! haha.. well, i got in contact with chong ts, a long lost fren.. haha.. and i managed to test drive one the coolest car on the face of the earth.. the TUSCANI.. haha, were ya'll expecting a Ferrari?? well, this tuscani was modified till it really look like a racing car.. it was modified to a 3000cc engine but was capped at 2000cc.. how cool was that?? lemme tell you about the drive.. the drive was excellent!! while u are drving, you cant feel that you are actually stepping the pedal harder and that you are goin faster.. firstly because, the car is pretty heavy due to the additional stabiliser.. secondly, the pedal is very very light.. so, with a light pedal and a heavy body, you cant feel that you are actualli goin at at 110km/h or 120km/h.. i could have gone faster without realising if not for my conscience and me frequently looking at the speed-o-meter..

the other car i tried was a little bit more down-to-earth.. presenting to you the Nissan Latio... it's a very nice car.. compare to Mazda 3, even tho it doesnt look as mean as the Mazda, the steering is way lighter and the pick-up is way faster.. Parking the Latio is very very easy as besides the light steering, the height of the car helps a lot.. But if u want to go for looks, go for the Mazda 3 but if u wanna go for a lighter steering and a faster pick-up, go for the latio..

Well, that;s all i can say for now, shall see if i can get my hands on more cars,, hehe

sleek week

ahhhhhhh.... wad a week it has been.. last two weeks, on a monday, the usual few of us went out for a simple dinner and a movie.. we ate at Fish & Co. and smth happen.. thx ar guys -_-" haha.. after which we watched Step Up 2 - The Streets at LIDO.

Well first of all, the cinema isnt as comfortable as cineleisure, probably coz i'm jus not use to it and prefer cine. Secondly, the movie, hmmm, prefer Step Up 1.. storyline wise, the 1st one has a deeper meaning to the story and choreography wise, i prefer the first one coz probably i'm not really into street dance and more into a mix of ballet and hip-hop which than leads to modern, even tho i respect and salute all street dancers out there.. it aint easy man.. also, music wise, i prefer the 1st OST even tho there are some nice songs in the 2nd one..

On e fri, i met rachel and jingyi at vivo to get sheena's present.. They were suppose to hv a show at harbour front but it got cancelled and itz e 2nd time their performance got cancelled.. plus, on tt day, they were ald on the way to the venue when they recv the cancellation call, dumb, waste ppl transportation fee..

Went to sheena's prformance at NTU auditorium, first of all, it was a very nice performance and i have to say, they have a good choice of songs.. well sheena, after this, take a good good long break and redeem urself.. u deserve it... get ur life back first than perhaps u can pick it up again :) btw, excellent show..

oh well.. just got back frm visiting my parent's friend in NUH, hang in there uncle!! i chatted with them and got to know ALOT about the circle of friends that my parents have... scandals, gossips, past, present, future... u name it.. got to know alot.. and got to know alot of dark secrets that entertainers will always have..

Movies!!

Cool!! On wednesday, went out with Rachel, Brandon, Jingyi for a movie at cineleisure. We watched The Leap Years. Its a really heartfelt movie and you won't leave the cinema without shedding at least a single tear. Even Brandon almost did (isn't it Bran?? hehe) The production is really good. It doesnt actually look like a local production. The story line, th flashback, the costumes, the locations.. Itz like watching a foreign movie where the locations are all too familiar.
I like Ananda's character, to me, he's the type of guy i would love to have. Artistic, adventurous, fit, good-hearted, mysterious... hee, srry, sidetrack a lil..

Today, friday, watched a totally different genre. The EYE!!! ooooooo.. scaryyyy... haha.. Itz the hollywood version, starring Jesicca Alba as a blind musician. The storyline is the same with the same scry scenes that haunted me for quite sometime after watching it for th first time. The hospital, the lift, the zoom-in woman, reaport card boy, chicken rice stall... urghh.. itz like relieving my nightmare again.. I bet Franz was enjoying the screams.. *humph* haha yea, watched it with jingyi and franz.. Franz said it was his first horror movie with us so he requested to sit in between as since there were VERY little ppl ard, and we were the only ones at our row, he felt a lil insecure, and so he said. But in the end, who was the one that screamed most of the time? ME! haha.. the girls behind were not helping either since they scream at every litlle thing.. haha

watched very good movie with very good freinds.. hehe..

(P.S: The Chicken Charbroiled at the korean eating place at B1 is good)

Post PP

The post effect of PP was horrible. After we came back from the airport, i was damn tired. I lost my days and time. But, that wasn't really the problem.

The thing that hit me the most is the realisation that I have already did my last dance.

Throughout the week, seeing my costumes bundled up in one corner is really a heartfelt for me. Itz gonna be the last time i'm gonna see and smell soiled costumes. Damn, it just brings back memories.

Throughout the week, i was so disorganized, i didn't noe wad i was doin. I felt very very lost. I guess tis is wad it means to live a life without dance. If it wasnt for the little trips to orchard for movies or just shopping with the gals, i think i'll go crazy.

So wad i really need now is.. A shoutout to all musicians out there, PLEASE enlighten me and tell me why making music is as beautiful as dancing..

PP 2008

Heeyoz!!! Been quite some time since i've blogged.. Itz been a pretty hectic week for me, BUT it was all worth it!!! To me, the PP was a HIT! ok, maybe not from the amt of audience, but the quality of the show and the type of dance we presented, was excellent. My fren couldn't sit back and relax coz it was too exciting, my mommy didn't find a single item boring and everybody ended the PP with a humongous smile :) and deep down inside me, all I can say, I had the best ending to a chapter in my life that anyone could ever have.. thank you god for that and thank you to the people who made it all possible.

Besies being the BEST PP i ever had, it was the most chaotic and havoc and energy straining PP I ever had. Firstly because I had 6 items (i noe itz a lil greedy, but itz my last chance to try those dances, hehe). The following are the items in order and the ones that are in red are the ones that i'm involve in.

1. Wave
2. Hao Ri Zi
3. Dai Zu
4. Le Amo
5. Seduction
6. Dance of the Wa tribe

- Intermission -

7. Mei Ah Li
8. Nan Hua
9. Choices
10. Tibet Dance
11. Fan Dance

WooHoo!! Havoc rite.. But i really owe it to those who helped me to change esp between the 1st and 2nd item.. yan, meizhi, meimei, meiyan.. you should see it.. it was fun in a way but pretty tiring.. itz like, before you could even recover from the first dance, you have to go out for the 2nd dance with a big flawless smile on your face.

And also, i would have to admit, the costumes this time round were very nice. the korean dress is sweet..

After the afternoon slot, i almost cried out but i was telling myself, save it for tonight. I almost couldn't take it because it was like, damn, itz ending soon. After the 7 pm slot was worst. When the mentioned me as 1 of the choreographers, i almost cried, worst when my mommy came down to stage to give me flowers (which i tot she would give after the whole show). I really controlled me tears like nobody's business. After curtain call has ended, i was like wah! itz finished, so fast, too fast actually, in the blink of an eye everything is gone. I really couldn't take it anymore when jingyi came down and said, 'your last performance', that's it, i broke down into Niagara tears!! Thx ar.. haha.. Another time when i cried abit was when i said thx to the boys, i was like wah.. shit, couldn't take it, again.

Thanking ya'll is way beyond words..

(P.S: Thx adeline for the cookie and thx gals, for the bouquet)

I'll miss the times when we have our practices, wouldn't know when we'll see each other again, but i really do treasure those times..
Damn.. I'm getting more and more sensitive at the mention of certain words and the imagination of certain imageries..

Depressed.. no one noes how i feel.. and itz hard to explain

Leaving smth for the better...

There's alot of people that i've met along the way..
But this time, i've never met so much talented dancers..
Some already good,
Some still amateurs,
And some a much better dancer than what they used to be..

D3, when we first had our intake, the dancers were all so fresh..
Like a clean piece of white satin...
And now, look what have become of them..
Wild, naughthy, fun, much more energetic and definitely more independent.
D3 babies have all grown up and I'm so proud of them,
Stay insane, keep improving, and pay attention in class..
I will miss all of ya'll..

Dance group..
A place where i was born..
Somewhere that i developed my passion..
A passion that will always remain in my soul..
Thanks to all who have been my teacher and my inspiration..
Thanks to laoshi, who has given me tons of opportunities,
to dance and choreograph...
Without dance group, i would have never tasted DANCE...

Le Amo,
A dream that i thought would never come true..
A dance of love and passion,
A meeting of a boy and a girl,
Going thru intense choreography, just like their relationship..
Lifts that i've imagine and never thought that i would actually do it..

To the dancers:

JingYi - my baby granddaughter that has grown up, frm buttons to this, thank you for being so acceptive of whatever i teach and wearing the littlest clothes in ur life.
Yi Xiang - a kinda muscular looking kind of boy, who's always the one making me laugh, thank you for being so willing to dance in this and u do have a potential in dance.
WeiTing - the 'youngest' child, who is pretty daring too, even if she denies it, thank you for having the 'let's-just-do-it' kind of attitude, it really makes me happy.
WeiSheng - a man who doesnt look like who he really is, someone strong and funny, thank you for being daring and willing to do wadever i've asked u too.
JiaYin - my baby gurl, who have never failed to exude perfect beauty be it in dance or not, thank you for being so passionate and inspiring me along the way.
Brandon - my friend, someone who will never fail to make me smile and brighten up my days, thank you for being enthusiastic and working hard on this dance.
Timothy - my best dance partner someone who's very willing, who have inpired me thru his music, thank you for being strong and nv letting me fall, and also for always being patient wif me.

These are the people that made my dream come true, and from the bottom of my heart, i THANK YOU.

You guys have just Saved My Last Dance.

Rantings

Fuck all of ya'll square-headed people!!! (i'm not referring to jing, yin, and ting who admitted they got square head, physically.. hee) itz to those people who are still thinking in the orthodox way.. Move on you humans!! we now live in the modern world, and for you to be stuck in year 1945, itz a big pity, really. I think u better go for a check-up to see how far back you are.
