Almost happy.
Nice weather is rare in Singapore. But, over the past 2 days, I've experienced exceptionally good weather - cool air, accompanied by a nice refreshing breeze, not humid, not hot, and just beautiful. The kind of weather you get on holiday, when you're in a faraway exotic land and feel refreshed, and relaxed. That same weather I felt in our little Singapore, made me feel the same way. When the wind caressed my skin and washed over my whole being - I felt alive. And it's great, to be alive. Despite all the ills of mankind, all our flaws, human suffering and everything, it's still wonderful to possess that spark of life given to us by well... whichever higher being you believe in. Of course, it's always easy to just say these things, especially when I'm not a starving child, a destitute petty thief, an abused prostitute, or tormented in any visible, significant way. But I believe in humanity, and in the goodness of the heart... and I can only hope that it is indeed true.
It's sad to be jaded. But so, so many people are. And I thought I was... but perhaps I'm not. Despite repeated proofs, I refuse to be resigned that it will always be like that. I refuse, refuse, refuse, to believe that people, and life are really like that. So well. As usual, we wait.
Anyway, last Sunday was the ADS Social, 007 Salsa Royale. Was really cool; I think the whole event turned out quite well! Having a large group of swarming paparazzi-like photographers around was quite cool too, machiam like damn big shot event kind hahaha. I screwed up a little in my performances though, but ah well, it was still okay I hope. For some reason, everything just passed me by so fast though; it was as if my brain wasn't registering the events of the night quickly enough. But I do know and realise now, that salsa is really quite a big part of my life now, and that's not about to change anytime soon. Anyway, here are some photos from Sunday -
And - something amusing...
Heh. Taken at home right after I got back, and after I showered and washed up. What a world of difference a bit of coloured powder can make, hmm? :p And guys still wonder why girls are so obsessed over makeup hahahaha. Okay I'm not, I swear! Just for performances la haha ;p Wahlao... I'm jacking myself... (again) haha.
And well, one more little bit of news. I got into the New York BSM! Yayy I get to go to New York, finallly. I've wanted to go there for so long... but well. It's not really the same now... because Da and Crystal aren't going :( And we all wanted to go together so much. And Crystal and I were so excited about going to the Jimmy Anton social too. And Da and I wanted to visit Weiming. It's kinda awful that we can't go together. And they might go on exchange in Y3T1 too, which means I might not see either of them for a whole year, if I go for exchange in Y3T2 :(:(:( But ah well, hopefully it'll be a good experience and all lah, make new friends etc I guess. Ohwell, we can't all have everything.
"Now I'm almost over you
I've almost shook these blues
So when you come back around
After painting the town, you'll see
I'm almost over you......."
