Here's another of my rare but determined attempts to keep my blog breathing.

Last post was before ID 2010?
Gosh I really miss those days and thinking about the preparation process makes me hate how life doesn't have a 'backspace' button.

New additions to my life that I've grown so used to - PULSE.
Words can't describe how lucky I feel.

Other unexpected things that took a turn for the better include my right hamstring healing. I still remember how exasperated I was when I saw everyone's butts touching the floor during middle splits and all I could do was open it to an acute angle before the pain starts sinking in. How cheated I felt when the acupuncture was useless (or was it?) and how numb I felt when laoshi told it would take one year to heal. I prayed hard every night for months and God did hear my prayers, so thank you.

And other things I'm grateful for.
The DJs, Rachel, Xinyi, Cheryl, Laoshi, Peishan, 302 too!
It's as straightforward as that. Nuff' said (:

Besides ID 2010, there was Leap this year. I have to admit there were times I felt left out or just too tired. But Leap was an eye-opener and my world has a new dimension, a new family.
Take a leap of faith.

Hmm what else?
Dance nowadays have been crazily hiong but so awesome (:
Batch 10 stepped down. I guess enough has been said about that. It'd take me long to get used to looking over to the other side of the studio and not seeing their deos and hongzis strewn over the ledge. Or hearing their terribly cute screams, complaints, laughing that we've all been accustomed too. Batch 10 ):
And this monday's farewell is the last farewell Batch 11 has to plan something...
Whenever I feel frustrated over dance, I'll tell myself that.
And it continues to ring in my head like a bell, that maybe my dance journey is ending?

OKAY that's a stupid mentality!

Batch 11 let us bring NYMD to higher leaps, painless splits, steady pirouettes, astounding artistry and evocative expression!

Then comes
Taiwan Trip Dec 2010, 8 days of being a full-time dancer
Leap 2, the hot topic of our little close-knitted pulse family

And the final showdown, SYF 2011.

Right now, I have to learn to find the healthy balance between dance and academics.
Block Test 2 results were frightening.
But each time I sit down and solve trigonometry equations or read about a human's heart,
I wanna get up and improve my centre split to a greater angle or feel the pulse running through my veins.
Someone hypnotise me HAHA
