Some Drama Mama going on in this blog huh!!
well.. here's a line that I'd like to share with everyone who reads this blog, dancer, ex-dancers or non-dancers...
"If we cling on to our past achievements, we will not be able to progress any further!"
Take care, dear girls

hey..
deborah, thanks a lot for that message.
however, i'd just like to mention some things.
i'm glad that you enjoyed your experience in sizzle and that you treasure it so much especially since it was your first time. (and also cos it makes me feel a lil less guilty for being such a slave driver. haha)
and i'm also happy that the you always remember your time in sizzle..
but i'd just like to remind you that although sizzle was the champion last year, sizzle does not exist anymore.
it's not that i want to be a wet blanket.
just that i wouldn't want all of mr tan's efforts to have gone to waste.
we don't want anymore domination of teams.
if you are unclear abt this, you can always ask tengming or kyna about it but i don't wish to broadcast it online.
yes, at this point last year, we were probably celebrating or rejoicing over the fact that sizzle won.
but it was NOT OUR triumph.
it WAS and ALWAYS will be IJ'S triumph and glory.
sizzle was just the fortunate one out of the 3 to achieve that for IJ.
Being champion in the past won't make you a champion in the future.
So my point is this: When we completed danceworks 2004, we should have walked away with good memories of the competition and the qualities required to achieve success in the future.
But what we should NOT have walked away with is a false sense of pride in ourselves that WE have received glory and that WE have triumped in the competition.
As for me, even though i was the team leader, i never considered Sizzle as MY team. Getting first was never MY win or MY glory.
i was merely serving my school and it has always been in my mind, IJ's team, IJ's win, IJ's glory.
in my mind, Sizzle was just another team sent in to do the school proud.
of course i'm proud that sizzle did well but at the same time, i am not too happy that you want to remember this moment of triumph because i don't think it would be beneficial and useful to the school.
Remember that all you do is supposed to be for IJ and not for yourself.
so for the sake of the new dancers who just came in and for the sake of IJ DANCE ENSEMBLE's future, we'll always remember sizzle as doing the school proud, not forgetting Jam and Fling, as well as this year's teams but we won't have special dates or events to commemerate the day of the competition.
we will just remember it in our heads and hearts as the day where our hard work paid off and when we managed to do IJ proud.
It doesn't matter whether or not you were a dancer in sizzle, jam, fling or not in ANY of the teams... by winning that competition, we have ALL won.
so put aside names and past groupings and face the future with determination and lessons learnt from the past so that IJ DANCE can once again achieve something for the school.
this message goes out to everyone in Dance ok? all the best for the syf.. i'm sure ya'll wll do great. x)

Danceworkerssssssss!! u guys so totally rock my sockiesssssss!! :):):)
my god, u guys did so well! :) hahas, poison and flair so exceeded our expectations! good job everyone! :)
please please please stop thinking silly thoughts and condemn yourself to misery because a) u didn't claim first prize, b) u didn't get into finals!
Like helloooooooo~~~ we said that u guys just had to do your 200% and your very best best best right??? i kinda feel like all my saliva had been shooting past your ears hahas! overshot! =P
Since u guys have already given your all, there is nothing to worry about. Because we know that u have done your very best and also that u guys have done so well in the competition! It was very impressive! Think about it, most of u are still juniors. And it's your first year competing! Nobody can just jump to first place without experience. EXPERIENCE. Now that u guys have it, u know how a competition feels like. the electric atmosphere. the suffocating smell of millions of hair sprays. the excitement and the adrenaline rush. I hope u guys have enjoyed it and feel that it's a memorable and meaningful experience! come on, learn new things as u grow! :):) Let's all make a comeback next year! there's always another chance for u to grab! It's sooo not the end of the world.
Just cos u guys didnt get to finals this year, it does not mean that u guys are forever doomed not to make it! You know what ij gals are made of. What DANCE girls are made of.We are not definitely not weak. Are we going to let this competition bring us down? The answer is NO! WE are stronger and more resilient that that. Don't ever let anything bring u down. U alone know your self-worth. Are u really so easily defeated? You can always stand up again on your own feet. Believe in yourself and most importantly, stay true to yourself. Keep in mind that ure not doing this for anyone else but yourself! That should be your motivation! And as long as you've done as much as u possibly can, move on and strive to do better next time. Life is too short for regrets. :)
We believe that guys can do it. :) And we know that u will. You guys have got what it takes. Never doubt yourself. You need to believe in yourself before other believe in you. Nothing is impossible if u've got enough nerve. Although you have to work hard to get the deserving results, sometimes, because of unforeseen circumstances, it doesn't work out. All that u can do is to suck in anything that life throws at u and continue moving. Just take it in your stride. Always strive to do Better.
For everything that u do, you can always do better with the extra effort. :) the whole dance ensemble is supporting u all the way! :) Never think that u are alone.
Last but not least, i'll like to thank jenna and kristy for taking our their time to choreograph for us. :) thank you. :) u guys did a good job!
And Corinne, Rox, Sam and pinky for coming down to support us and even helping us with the preparations! :) all the make up and explosive hair! hahhas! :)
Thankewwwwww!
Deborah, Majella, Rui Wen and Sin yee. :) u guys were good leaders! Thanks for taking your time! It takes experience and courage to be a good leader! Work hard! :):)
Dance Ensemble can do it! And we will never let anything bring us down.
We'll always we here for u.
Love you alls! :)

POISON:
You guys did great today ok!!!
im very very proud of what you all did.
i know i wasn't there to witness the actual thing
but the short span of time i was there, watching
your rehersals and putting on makeup for you guys,
I know for a fact how much effort you all put into
the dance and how much you all really wanted this.
To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven ...
-- Ecclesiastes 3:1
you guys kick their asses next year.
period!
i love you guys.
keep on flashing those cheesy smiles.

solely just to WIN or get into the finals.
Im glad that through this journey you all
gained experience and had exposure,
and that's what is important,
NOT THE OUTCOME BUT THE PROCESS.
you guys kick their asses next year.
period!
i love you guys.
keep on flashing those cheesy smiles.

the same way that i have the utmost confidence in all of
you guys to put in your best and do your best for Danceworks!
For a lot of you, this is also your first time competeting and
thus the millions and kerbillions of butterflies in your tummys.
But when you are on stage, i just want all of you to know that
right there, smack in the audience, we are ALL behind you all the way.
we will be cheering for you, we will be screaming for you,
we will be clapping for you and we will be there being PROUD of what you've put up.
and no matter what the outcome is
(although i really want to see you all at the finals)
know that we all will still LLLOOVVEE you
and that the world goes on.
your blood,sweat and tears will be recognised and embraced.
i shall try and come down sometime this week to look at all
you hot babes shake those booties during practice ok!!!
(i got nooo SHCOOOLL!!!! YEESSSS!!!)
