Pioneer Residents' Day 2006
And so went by, our very first salsa performance, at some unassuming little residents' fair all the way in the far West corner of Singapore.
The first performance was apparently much less than desired, but strangely enough I felt that I managed to do the shines a bit better for the first one. Abit wobbly during the second one, could be because this rostrum was almost completely blocking me HAHA or maybe because not warmed up enough due to a long duration of sitting and stoning. But feedback was that the night one was pretty good. I hope it's true!
The day was spent waiting; and Crystal was inspired by the man giving out helium balloons to the little kids not far behind us, which resulted in this:
A pretty string of colourful balloons up into the sky!She happily told the balloon man that she was trying to reach the sky :)
Crystal looking gleefully at her string of balloons haha.
With Gupson!
The performers.-----------------------------------
Feel strangely introspective all of a sudden on this dreary Monday morning/early afternoon. Suddenly occured to me that my first year in university is technically over and I haven't actually done anything substiantial at all. If I could come up with grand and workable ideas which I was passionate about perhaps I could do something to make an impact, to effect change or something, but I haven't got any yet. And I think, perhaps, in some ways I'm really not ready yet. In terms of thinking, intelligence, maturity, everything, I wish I could develop more as a person. I do believe that experiences do shape the person, and I guess I need more of that.
Envying others who have done great things you wish you could do or had done, probably doesn't help, and you need to really just go and find your own. Even if I could do it, which I think perhaps I could, it doesn't seem enough to be doing what others have done before. And I guess some things like the strongest bonds of personal relationships can't be found, which sort of find you instead.
It's strange how lives can be so interlinked and separate at the same time. Dynamics are always changing. Well. Determination and passion can be a great driving factor. Hopefully, I can find these before the end of my stay here at SMU, and even if anything is less than desired, your environment is what you make of it and what you make out of it, so I do sincerely hope that I have a fulfilling university life that rivals or even surpasses that of what I had in AC, and try not to get sucked in by the general apathy of the student body.
But of course, like everything else, easier said than done. Sigh, try. Need to stop lazing about and drag myself to school too. Boooo. Kinda grumpy today.
