To Love or Not To Love?

[man... so many relationship issues goin on nowadays... probs the lack of school, too much free time and we're at that 'horny' age? =P ... bwahaha... guess i've been thinkin too... soo tiring though... hui hui]

Couples. Relationships. Love. Lust. Enjoyment. Compassion. Trust. Loyalty. Dependence. Provision. Care. Time. Sharing. Joy. Sadness. Memories.

I guess with nothing much on our hands other than the holidays, this is the most talked about issue that it boils down to- the issue of love. Looking for Mr. Right? Finding that perfect lady? Waiting for a miracle? Believing in love? Giving something a chance? Now, soon, later?

After talking about recent events, reactions, precautions and actions; and after watching Goong (Korean drama), the desire of sharing that special connection with that unique someone really hit hard. Every time I watch some sort of Asian drama, this feeling just knocks on my door uninvited, and totally invades my thoughts and imagination. Can it not!? I guess I don't mind it too much, it keeps me occupied (sometimes even preoccupied...). Anyway, what is it like to have that awesome someone to lean on?

I won't be able to find out until something does happen, I guess. I will just have to keep on waiting... waiting for that day that was meant to be, that was scripted in fate.

Fate & Friends

[just came back from Oz Concert performance! ^^... man it was FUN AS!!! no joke! the ending to the night was a bit... sad though... way to go to start aust day... NOT! =P... neehooz... been thinkin bout this a lot.. just thought I'd post it... hui hui]

Fate
Supposedly the "thing" that decides whether something happens, whether you meet a certain person, whether you were supposed to own this thing... I think fate exists. A lot of things cannot be explained other than trusting and believing in fate. Meeting new friends at the right place and at the right time; going into a shop where the "sale" sign is hung everywhere, but one just cannot find the right sized shirt... events like this make me believe in fate.

Friends
Making friends is one of the biggest event that is affected by fate. How can you explain that just at that specific time, this certain person also enrolled at your school, joined your club or even just bumped into you... and your friendship is the constructed and then built upon. I find this absolutely amazing. The way two people can connect with one another, enjoy each others' company, talk about anything and everything- absolutely beautiful. I appreciate this type of fate so much that it is inexpressible.

One of the best things that happened to me in life is meeting all my buddies and spending time, sharing with them. Nothing, can ever take the place of those memories that I share with them.

A Dancer's Life?

[wooosh... there goes the weekend, and all i've done is dance. XD ... LOVE IT TO THE MAXIMUM! XD XD ... nehooz... just came up with a few thoughts about the whole dance thing in my life ^^ hui hui]

*Following the conversation at that time*
Hui: Yeah, and I dance, and dance again the next day... but I love it!
Nono: You have a dancer's life...

"A dancer's life". It sounds awesome. What does it really mean though?

Continuing to ask myself that question- I actually have no proper answer for it. My imagination of a dancer's life would be a lot more hectic, stressful and skillful than mine, where everyday no matter one likes it or not, would be bombarded with rehearsals, more rehearsals and performances. Professionalism. Passion. Commitment. Enjoyment. Entertainment.

Professionalism is definitely out of the question. Once-a-week-rehearsals with fairly few extra hours unless performances require, I'm far away from being professional. Passion? Definitely. Anyone would know about how big a part of my life and time is dedicated to dance, and how much I absolutely love it. This goes hand in hand with commitment and enjoyment, where it's a two way cycle- I'm committed to dance and I obtain enjoyment from it, but I also love committing to it first, as I absolutely love it. Then comes the smiles on the audiences' faces that adds the icing to the cake, the entertainment factor. It feels inexpressibly awesome to be able to share my passion with family, friends, relatives, strangers, acquaintances... to see how they are as entertained as I am during each performance.

A dancer's life... is it all just about professionalism, passion, commitment? The enjoyment and entertainment? These are my thoughts about it right now... I'm still not quite sure if that is the whole story. Maybe there is no answer to my question. It would largely depend on one's view of the subject; and for now, this answer- I am content with.

Not just another week...

[whoa... seems like ages since my last post.. but only 3 days after =S ... work wasn't too boring after all, had stuff to do in the end =) ... nehooz... more thoughts and ideas this time... hui hui]

Whilst working (doing scanning and binding- for one whole week), a few thoughts hit me all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but ponder about them. Here is the random list that just flowed endlessly:

1 What happens when you leave a place that you've lived in for the past 7 years? This means leaving your family, your friends, your acquaintances; your home, your affiliations, your work place...

2 What would happen if I pierced all 5 holes that I want in my ears all at once? Would that be too many foreign objects in me at one time that I get poisoned, so it's totally fine- just that I can't flip from side to side anymore when I sleep?

3 Why do paper cuts hurt so much more than bruisers or other bigger cuts? (Not the REALLY big cuts, of course.)

4 With all the money I earned this week, I can almost buy a decent laptop in Malaysia. To buy or not to buy?

5 Why isn't the DVD player at home working?!!?!?!? *#$^#@^$@#&$(&@#...

6 Wonder if Du's having fun in his Sg, Hk, China trip. Hope he sees his relatives and has an awesome Chinese New Year.

7 Shan and Reeny are the sweetest! Love hanging out with them. Their presence is so comforting!

8 Miss Madagascans! The funky parties with Nono, the thumb wars with Laurence, the philosophical talks of Tony, Marie's awesome personality, the cross dressing Cedric (MY Cindy) ... man, the good times.

9 Looking forward to performances this weekend! Jam packed with training, zoo and wedding performances. Should be awesome! Oz Concert is on next week too! LONG WEEKEND!

10 28th... only a week and a bit away. Malaysia, HERE I COME!

The top 10 thoughts of the day. Why are they so random? So unrelated? So different? The human mind, so complicated. I guess this week wasn't just about work, it was about thinking of my situation now, of being in the present, but reminiscing the joyful past and looking forward to the unknown future. What would tomorrow's thoughts be like? Similar; different- life changing? I guess we can only appreciate the now and make the best of the later.

2 down, 3 to go!

[hehe.. still missin everyone from the winter camp... =) ... good times ^^. AND!... enjoyin every moment back in perth! hehe... awesome buds i hav over ere... nice havin u guys arnd! =) ... and... here's a post bout work... coz that's all i do these days... hui hui]

Work... not really. All I do is the random photocopying, ruling up mail register, answering phone calls. Not very interesting, but not too boring either. However, most of the time is quite free... leaving me to do this...

These are the 3 sketches that I managed to do during my two days of work. I'm planning to sketch all Sailor Moon related characters... I guess having so much spare time at work allows me to find my interest in drawing back!

Today wasn't as interesting as yesterday... plus, I have a very sore back from sitting at the desk for one whole day, everyday. There's a price to pay for being paid so generously! I still love my work place though, the people are great, the green tea is nice... and... plenty of free time!

some AweSOme 20 days!

[heyaz everybody! bak from winter camp in china!!!... man.. miss the clean air here... couldnt stop deep breathin at the airport =P... ehhee... and of course.. MISSED EVERYBODY! ^^... glad to be home guys, glad to be home. =). hui hui]

3 weeks... the 3 weeks that I had looked forward to for so long... passed by so quickly without notice. Winter Camp 2006-07 in Guangzhou... it was absolutely amazing! The camp basically concentrated on training us up for an end-of-camp performance; in my case, I chose to do martial arts, which I performed on the last night we spent there. Not only was there Kung Fu classes, there was also awesome singing classes (to learn Chinese the "interesting" way?), craft classes... and of course, the unforgettable-because-it-was-SO-boring history, geography and culture lectures. Not to forget the tours of Guangzhou, Pan Yu, Shen Zhen and Fo Shan. Sight seeing, classes, sport... the combination was so fulfilling and interesting... enjoyable.

Other than the activities, the best part was the new friendships. I made friends from all over the southern hemisphere- Madagascar, Vanuatu, South Africa, Mauritius, Panama, Chile, New Zealand- as well as other cities of Australia, such as Sydney, Darwin, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and some from Tasmania (not sure which city...). As we were split into groups to practice our martial arts, our Perth group was joined with the Vanuatu and Madagascar groups. Here's the list of our one big happy family:

Vanuatu- Anthony, Sophia, Adella (not sure of the spelling...), Ha Tong, Casey
Madagascar- Olivier, Cedric, Freddy, Nono, Tony, Laurence, Melodie, Eva, Marie, Maeva, Stephanie, Stephane, Yudovich, Nichola and Madam Jocelyn (chaperon)
Perth- Cassii, Anita and me

2 other girls from Perth chose dancing instead, la Jazz, and their performance was awesome too. Our one big family had so much fun together, joking around during breaks, mimicking the teachers, taking photos, dancing (Olivier is SUCH a good pop-locker). Even though there was a language barrier between us and the Madagascans (they spoke French!), we still had so much fun together! Some of them knew English or Cantonese quite well so it was all right sometimes... other times... well, cherades became quite handy! Vanuatu people... they were awesome too! No language barrier there... and one of our dinner times was so hilarious that Anthony could not even start eating his dinner! Good times guys, good times.

Guess pictures can say a lot more than whatever I can type here... so... here are some photos for your enjoyment!
