Ushering in the New Year 2013

Unsure if anyone still comes to this blog anymore but since I see the pageview counter has a number bigger than 0 every day, I guess there is.

This space has been neglected for way too long. I've attempted to revive it, but it merely took place in my mind. Too much has happened in the short 25 days of 2013 so I'm just penning them down somewhere.

2012 was a really good year. It was the first year in my life I could say I was financially stable & I met so many people, most of whom I'm glad to have them come into my life. But with new meetings also comes problems. Trying to accustom myself into new environments has never failed to be the toughest challenge.

Anyway, a good year is a good year but it's in the past and it'll be stacked safely at the back of my brain with 19 other years of memories.

The biggest takeaway of 2012 that I'll be bringing forward to 2013 would no doubt be Dreamwerkz.

My 1+ year of being in the dance team has been no less of a whirlwind of emotions. Once again, a new environment and 0 friends proved to be the worst combination when taking on a new genre of dance after 6 years of Contemporary dance. But I'm so glad I pulled through and grew a lot closer to the entire team. To think I almost quit the team last year... Oh how glad I didn't 'cuz that'd mean I would have missed out so much fun. 

Looking ahead into the new year, I foresee a busy dance year. Competitions, production, organizing and leading. These aren't new, but the experience will be. I won't hope for much 'cuz everytime I put my hopes up on a pedestal, it ends up falling flat back on my face. This way, with my hopes placed "there", the returns I would be reaping would be far greater and satisfying :) Jobs, studies & relationships aside, I do hope 2013 would be the year I greatly improve in dance. I have so many opportunities for me to improve. I gotta put on my dancing shoes, tighten those shoelaces and brace myself for all the endless dancing I'm gonna do. Afterall, if I don't put in the effort, what am I saying now? Then all these 'hopes' will just be words forgotten.

Apart from dance, there's always studies that I hope I can finally manage properly. Dance & studies, I pray my motivation will keep me going and prove to people (especially) my mum that I can do it. Time to pull up my socks. Prelims & exams are 1 & 4 months away respectively. Time to pull up my socks!

Cheers ^^
