This is a short post about Christmas
‘Tis the season to be reminded that quality time with your loved ones are the best gifts you can afford, which no amount of money can ever replace. Cheers to all the old souls who will never be too old for log cakes, stories by the fireplace, midnight cookies and milk, and all of Christmas’…

Music and Endless Wintering
“Music brings a warm glow to my vision, thawing mind and muscle from their endless wintering.” ― Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World Last night saw the revival of my 7-year-old iPod (above), opening an emotional floodgate of memories tagged to songs from another lifetime. Despite being in a badly scratched…

Keep Calm and Jive On
So in a day we picked up jive, and performed for the SIA Group Long Service Awards. Extremely thankful for this bunch of amazing seniors with loads of experience, and a lot to offer. 4 days, 1 jive and 1 hiphop item later, we were nothing short of muscle aches, bruises and for some, swollen…

A Tinge of Nostalgia
Reminiscing the days where I was still an insanely active dancer – and decided to upload the choreography collabo piece which Rasul and I did for NUS Dance Blast’s 2011 concert!! (When I was still in year 2 going on year 3 and had a hell lot of time to dance.) Truth is, I think…

#Firstworldproblems
Touched down from Copenhagen in the morning and headed straight for dance rehearsals after a quick nap! Had sooo much to catch up with, plus it’s the last rehearsal for the alumni item today. Wearing our club’s yellow shirt with its (now) faded prints and dancing in the open air in University Town brought back…

Shut Up and Dance
Remember this? My favourite NUS Dance Blast Shut Up and Dance (SUAD) Concert 2011 choreography by Xuzi, Erwin and Kevin. This video was taken (by Ulrica!!) during one of our last few vetting sessions with April Rodriguez, Joesar Alvar and Pat. It was a flurry of costume changes (twice during the 5-minute item), and running…

Dancing to the backdrop of a slow descending grey
Found this picture which reminds me of how I was when I was young (but obviously this kid is so much cuter, thinner, and prettier than I was), in leotards + black tights and pink ballet shoes, (ribbons/bows in my hair because mummy loves them on my hair), stretching in chinese dance class. I miss…

curtain call
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that at the end of my university life, I actually do miss it a whole freaking lot. As I fret over which gown size I should order, or how big my head is so that I can get the right mortarboard etc… I’m transported to the days where I…

the best memories
The best memories remain when the worst are forgotten. None is as great a peacemaker as time, that simmers sharp pangs to a dull ache of the heart and wipes all slates clean when the pain comes to pass. The best memories upholds the smile when the tears are gone. A gunshot with its reverberations inadvertently…

if you can dance with wildness
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. ― Oriah Mountain Dreamer

162. urban picnic
Introducing, the best things that happened to me in the University: Gardens by the Bay is really pretty! Just less so in the hot sun and erratic weather, thus we consumed the picnic goodies beside the ticketing booth like a boss. I need to go there again in the night with the lights up! What…

154. Six Characters in Search of an Author
“But can’t you see that all the trouble lies here! In the words! All of us have a world full of things inside of us, each of us his own world full of things! And how can we understand one another, sir, if in the words I speak I put the meaning and the value…
