If there's one thing that the crews at The Big Groove showed us, is that nothing is impossible. Many moves or stunts I thought wasn't humanely possible, they pulled it off perfectly.
I guess we're inspired now, to be better dancers. But I wonder how long this motivation will last. I notice that, for me, and maybe some Emixers, inspiration and motivation come in spurts. It takes a mind-blowing performance for us to be awestruck, and then feel encouraged to be better dancers. But somehow after a while, we forget or lose this drive, and end up stagnating, until we come across another dance event or workshop to spur us on again. Maybe it's because we get distracted and preoccupied with other stuff along the way.
Less the 1 week to New York, and I wonder why I feel like I still have a thousand things left to do.

what I've been up to
Yes I've been missing in action for a while. Not that I've been terribly busy, but somehow for the past several weeks I've filled my time doing other things rather than writing.
For the past 2 months, I've been occupied with:
- work
- dance
- Shiwei :)
- NYC planning
and other random stuff. Hmm I don't know how 2 months flew by me just like that.
Work has been fun most of the time. Having been in this industry for a while, I've realized that the girls are not as mean or bitchy as people think. Some may be quite ah lian, but everyone I've met so far were nice. Just don't back stab or bitch about people and nothing will happen to you.
Dance. I had my very own sharing session a couple of weeks back, and it's nice to get the chance to finally step up. Had a series of fulfilling workshops by local choreographers, followed by the dance battle a week later. I don't care what people say, I still think that event was stupid and pointless. Shall not harp more about it, but I had a really bad day that day. We're preparing for NY (which is less than 2 weeks away), Vivace and Convoc now. I've come to not expect much for our NY performance, but rather learn and enjoy everything else instead. My choreography is one of those that will be used for Vivace, and it's great to be taking ownership of my creation! :)
Shiwei and I will celebrate our 4th month today! Pretty fast huh! He's away on a cruise now, so we'll go out after he comes back.
School's starting soon, and I have mixed feelings about it. I told myself that I'm gonna play hard this summer, and when school starts, I'm gonna work hard. I'm looking forward to a new semester of dance and learning new things, but I know I have to apply for jobs, which I'm so apprehensive about. Still haven't figured out what I want, other than the fact the I like to meet and interact with people. Will probably have to go for a bank first by default, but gosh, how am I suppose to work and fight for a job when I don't even know what I'll love?? How did the people in my spot make career decisions?
Is there a term for this? Quarter-life crisis?
