Losing that fire...

Somehow my mind feels very weak at the moment...It's just so hard to remember all those steps in dance...How do the rest keep up so well? I guess I have a very slow mind and an inexperienced body...But I can't complain cuz I don't dance every day like how some of my friends do...I just don't have that passion to...I say I love dance but I don't put in as much effort as so many other ppl do...Sometimes I even dread going for dance because I have to memorise the steps... But I feel so good dancing M's steps sometimes. Is that what I was calling my passion? Does that really count? Dance is just so beautiful...I guess I'm feeling quite conflicted with myself at this stage...Do I really love dance? I think I do...Just that I really need to put in more effort and rev up my head too...Those voices in my head r just irritating me so much these few days...Always making me feel so depressed and all... And another thing. I don't know why I still feel so consc...

Français nouveau

Je rêve de visiter la Russie de découvrir la culture! C'est parce que mon idole, Rudolf Nureyev, est né en Russie. Également, ballet russe est plus belle à mon avis. Par conséquent, je voudrais vite des ballets bons quand je suis là. J'adore la musique russe aussi. Mon préféré compositeur est Tchaikovsky et la musique ballet beaucoup est par lui. Ils sont trés dramatique! Oui, ma passion est la danse. C'est trés belle et expressif. Moi, c'est Eleanor.

J'apprend français :)

Bonsoir! Tu vas bien? Je m'appelle Eleanor. J'ai 19 ans. Je suis singapourienne. J'etudie les sciences biomédicale et médecin chinoise à l'université. Je parle anglais, chinois et un peu de japonais. J'aime les animaux et les arts. Je suis danseur contemporain à l'université. Je travaille jeudi; j'enseigner une fille secondaire un. Je ne sais pas quoi écrire et je ne sais pas exprimer mes pensées. L'apprentissage d'une langue étranger est trés difficile...Numéro en français particulièrement! Quatre-vingts, Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf, soixante et onze, soixante quinze... Pourquoi "J" toujours? Pourquoi ne peut pas toujour? Hai...Je vais écouter des chansons françaises. Je veux mercredi venir plus vite parce que je voudrais voir mes amis, C et A! C'est tout! À bientôt, bonne soirée!

That lonely feeling

I just realised how long I take to open up to people. For a while I always thought once I started talking to someone, I opened up. Because I always laugh (uncontrollably) at what they say or do. I really thought that meant I felt comfortable with them. But recently I've discovered laughing didn't mean anything. One, because I do that quite frequently, and two, because there are so many secrets that I don't share, even with my closest friends. Well, it could be a measure of how frequently I myself change- as in how I see a friend in being able to understand, keep a secret, etc, so that I feel safe enough to share a part of my vulnerability. At the moment I believe it is. That's why I see myself as an anti-social being. I do talk to people and care about my friends. BUT I don't hang out with them that much. I don't hug them that much. I don't console them as much as I should when they're not feeling fine. (maybe through sms/ social sites tho since I feel...

2 more working days

to the end of working at K9 *sob sob*. Off on Mon & Wed so that means I'm working on Tues and Thurs for the very last time there (unless I do part time, which I really doubt I'll have time for...but we'll see how it goes!) I've been working since 8th Jan 2013 and I've learnt incredibly much in the 6 mths and made awesome cool friends:) My K9 harvest: 1. I know how to tell if food has gone bad. (Unless I'm sick and my nose is powerless. But there're still ways!) And I know how to store food. 2. I can open a 3kg coffee bean tin. (MUAHAHAHA SO STRONG) 3. I can do latte art. 4. I can frost cakes. 5. I can tell if food has been thoroughly cooked. 6. I can control stock. 7. I can handle the pressure when orders pile up. 8. I can communicate with my boss (LOL). 9. I've made friends with kiki & nana. (Y) 10. I've made friends with the customers' doggies^^. OMG I'll freaking miss K9 ): TTFN

Setting priorities

Image
I'm nearing the end of my post-As holidays so maybe that's why I've been thinking about how I should spend the last 1 mth of it. You know, like last time when we were still in sch, the last week/day was always abt rushing to finish homework (for those who cared lol). Now I have a MONTH instead of a week! Anw! I don't think I've "wasted" this long holiday entirely, but a lot of the time I've been on the Internet doin stuff that distracted me from the original things that I planned to do. Like, my room is still sort of a mess:/ (But I did clean up a little!) So I've been thinking a little about my life and how I should use my time here on Earth. (Wow that escalated quickly- from spending my last mth of hols to my life!!) I know I don't wanna just be a nobody. I wanna live my life with meaning and when I really do leave this place, I won't be forgotten. Or maybe that at least my work here has had some impact. So here goes my life priorities ...
