After slogging for the past 10 weeks, the 1 week break is FINALLY here!! YIPPEE!!!

As usual, Chinese Dance practice on Saturday is as usual very draining and by 12pm, I'm already quite brain dead. Decided to sleep my afternoon away to recover the loss of brain matter after 4 hours of drama in school. Saturdays usually juz whizz away lydat.. Went to Bee Hong's housewarming in the evening.. I DROVE O! so brave... but hearing Jaron shout AUNTIE JANE the minute the car door opened for him to enter, made everything worthwhile!! ^-^

That little man is so cute.. can't stand him!! ^-^

6 Sept - the Haiyans took part in a dance competition at DBS auditorium.

The venue is quite small, in fact, even smaller than the stage we have in school.

Nevertheless, we worked it out somehow and though there weren't many dance groups, one of dancers from Eunos CC was really quite outstanding, from what I heard.

We won the 2nd prize and I hope that after the debrief, the kids learnt that they are not the best and should not be conceited.

Keeping my fingers crossed for the coming few months till Nov/Dec and will continue to push and encourage the kids to do their best for the competitions next year.

Never knew that it can be so stressful to be in a performing group. But luckily, got Jaelyn, Yeeling, Que Yi and Kaixin around to complain and ventilate and discuss things with.

That really made the difference. Else dunno how to survive all these....

Anyway, the first day of holidays started with us having to go back to school at 830am for a Career Carnival... went to hear more about the Leadership track and really felt that it seemed so far fetched for me.. dunno what's my aspiration...

Muz have vision and action.. muz have a dream... i seem to have none of that...

but I do know I like to be with kids... to encourage them.. to help them achieve what they didn't think they could... but sometimes, I feel that I'm too emotional for my own good.. and apparently, to be a good leader, one muz have self-control over one's emotions.. guess I fail in that aspect! >.<"

After the session ended at approx 12... Joanne, Jeanette, Jaelyn and I went out for lunch @Causeway Pt coz all of them needed to be back in CCK area around evening time..

Lunch was at Swensons and we were all starving by the time we took a cab and reached Causeway Pt... but the lunch was yummy and we even ordered a regular earthquake!! YUMMY!!!

Then we immediately set out to comb level 2 of the mall... SHOPPING!!

I bought myself a denim dress (at a $10 discount coz we purchased 3 pcs in total) and a blouse from Iora (at a 10% discount!! Thanks Jaelyn!!)

HAPPY!!!

HAPPY FAMILY!!

can u feel the tremors?!!?! ^-^

Had wanted to buy myself a bag and a pair of shoes but din manage to... but never mind! after SW finish his exams on Thursday, I am so making him go shopping with me again next SAT!! (p/s: Weekends w/o dance is really SHIOK!!)

Anyway, heard lots of good news lately.. really happy for all my friends and looking forward to having more little ones running around and making Auntie Jane happy!!

I LOVE HOLIDAYS!!!
