had a huge argument with peter. broke me down, tore me apart. the pieces are still being threaded together. really slowly. it'll be awhile before the whole thing absolutely doesnt bother me. it was nice to have someone there. nice to not be alone. i needed it anyway. not that i'm suicidal, but everyone could use a shoulder from time to time. esp in times as such.
so here's my two cents worth on the whole thing. we've lost an instructor, and as much as many of us want to think differently, we might have very well lost a dear friend. we've become very close, some of us closer than others. and it sucks that the last conversation was a verbal war. honestly, i wouldnt be where i am today if it wasnt for him. and for that i am eternally grateful. but at the same time, things got out of hand, and no one is to be blamed for it. shit like this happens, it never really is anybody's fault. most of the time, it's everybody's fault. so what do we do? we pick up the pieces and move on. and prove to everyone that we practice what we preach. that we can run the club on our own strength. that we can be a well-organised and well-run student club.
why i havent sent my gratitude? simply because, i know he doesnt read this. he hates to read blogs. so this will probably never get to him. an email will, and right now, more than half of me is still mad at him for the things he said. for the allegations he made. for the tears that poured because of him. and the part of me that wants very much to sincerely say thank you for everything that he has done for the club, and more importantly for me, cannot supercede the anger and pain that needs time to settle itself. i'll do it eventually, i always say goodbye.
one of the dragon boaters who died in cambodia, is my dad's pe teacher in njc. if you've heard the news, you will know who. and i actually met him once. at the cvc anniversary dinner, back in september. affecting my dad alot. my dad liked him. "hardworking guy", my dad would always say. we see all this on the tele and go life's not fair, their all so young. one of the guy's who died is 20, that's how old i'm gonna be next year. he had at least 50 more years of his life mapped out that he was looking forward to. it sucks the most, when you know the guy. i mean, i met him once, and i feel sad. simply because i knew him. he was 31 btw. it's scary, when you realise how fragile life is. how thin the line between living and dying is. it's scary indeed.
right, so that was a long post. but, like i said before, apart from a couple of issues, it's been a good week. one of the few weeks in a year where i dont look forward to the end of it. but weeks come and go, and the new week starts in abt two hours, and in some countries, the new week started 22 hours ago. heh. SA meeting tmr, let's hope something good comes out of it. let it not be one with opiniated comm members thinking of their own well-being. heh. and may the new week be as good as the last one, somehow.

sinfonia was surprisingly not as much of a chore as i thought it out to be. i actually had quite a fair bit of fun. and as for tc, he is really nice when he has to be. and that's more than enough for me.
here's the album from sinfonia. knock yourselves out. and a few of my faves below.
sinfonia 2007
now that week is gone. three ica-s done. three more to go. need to get up to speed with efma.
the studio is looking good this week. fun monday class. what seems like it's gonna be a huge wednesday class. and a small thursday class, but at least there is still a class. and if things carry on like this, we might just supercede the set goals. maybe. another 9 weeks to exams and 9 weeks to knowing my placement results. like i said before, i say again, this semester is flying past way too quickly. way way too quickly.
when the cat's gone away, the mice come out to play. haha. she's playing alright. definitely playing.
river valley pri has by far the cutest kids. very naughty no doubt, but that's by word of mouth. i only went there once and they were adorable.
mee toh school has the most guai kids. i call them abnormally guai. haha. but their really nice. and intelligent. and the teachers are really helpful too. weird huh?! did you even know a school like this existed?
been unforgivingly skipping class. i promise to start diligently going for my classes. besides, i dont really have a choice anymore. heh. 10 more weeks to the end of the semester and to exams. heh.
spent tuesday at jason and jerinne's house. did tutorials. ate sausages cooked by jason. and chips and alcohol. jason being a bad influence. then jerinne came back and i watched korean drama from the dining table. that was also when i stopped doing my tutorials. haha. i also ate korean food for dinner at togi and had gelare waffles and ice cream for dessert.
i went to JB on thursday. with jason and jerinne. had very nice bak khu teh. and fried stuff. then went to a shopping mall that has really nice clothes. and extremely inexpensive contumes for everything. literally. saw some really nice stuff. i want to go back and bring money so that i can buy and buy. haha.
i had to take mc on friday, coz i had a quiz that i missed coz of work. and didnt go to school the whole day.
then came the weekend. and it was a quick one. sadly. i have work in a few hours. and i need to sleep. but i want to watch bleach first. then i'll sleep.
i forgot to mention. i'm the emcee for sinfonia 2007. gee.
lunchtime performance was a success i guess. alot of heartache but we pulled through in the end. i made mistakes though. haha. but it was pretty ok. pictures will be up soon. as soon as i get them. NEA performance was pretty good too. and i still love DC's item. and my mummy says i dance very well. but as far as within is concern, i look like a frog. hmmz.
it's all over, i get to rest for awhile. but monday i have to finish my obssession choreo, preview is on tuesday. erm, i think can lah. rest today and tmr. what are weekends for after all, right?
i had billy bombers just now. asked my mummy to bring us there for dinner, and i had my milkshake and so did andrea. i ordered milkshakes for mummy and daddy too. and the vote in eunanymous, billy bomber's milkshakes are the best. oh oh, did you know, billy bomber's was first opened in america by a pilot after world war 2. he named the diner after his bear, that's why there are so many bears in the diner. interesting huh?!
and my mummy bought me boots. whee, i have my first pair of black boots. and i think they look really nice. i still want those heels from charlse and keith and i saw so many nice shoes in mitju. my mummy has also acknowldged that i like big bags. mitju has some with pretty lasting material. my bag now shld last for abt another month, so i one month to save up for it.
my bootsies =)
i came across a really amusing hotel. the NEW SEVEN STOREY HOTEL. it has a website, www.nsshotel.com. nss stands for? new seven storey hotel of course. haha. and it really only has seven stories. i was very amused. very very amused. and i still am. haha.
see see! this is a very jing wei hotel. hor jw?
lasly, i'll be going for ym camp. yeaps. havent been for a long time, but i shld start making an effort to be more involved in ym, i guess. and if i can save up the cash, and if all goes well, i shld be going for malaysian salsa festival next year. how cool eh?! but must see how. besides that, all is well in the house and i forsee a good rest-of-the weekend.
note: dansflavastudios is starting another round of salsa 1A. tag me with you're contact/email if you want to learn salsa. [i advertise everywhere possible huh?!]
