Results
Release of A level results went well. RJ topped the nation again, no surprise there. I didn't get all the grades that I aimed for but I'm still proud of myself. My parents are proud of me too :) I applied for NUS business administration and SMU business management. But I will most likely go for SMU. College fees is an issue but hopefully, I'll get a scholarship. If not I can always take a loan. There's the issue of who will be my guarantor. Nonetheless I'm not letting my parents pay for my college fees. So hopefully I'll get a scholarship/ bursary from SMU. Currently my savings is sufficient for a year of college. I will need to tutor part time to support myself.. sighs money money money...
IRAS
I worked in IRAS for 2 months. It was an enriching experience. I learned about taxes, about how important it is for our country and its uses. More importantly I learned how to help people, solved problems and I will always remember the unpleasant moments of dealing with angry taxpayers. And despite their complains and sometimes their verbal abuses, professionalism always help to deal with my anxiety, exasperation and momentarily make me forget about my hurt feelings. It's all about getting the job done. The pay I got from IRAS is rather low though. Especially since it gets cut for CPF. I'm thinking about getting another job till uni but it will be difficult to apply for one now. Part of me wants to slack, but I need to save up for college :(
RSD AnyBody Can Dance
Couldn't be more proud of Raffles Street Dance :) The journey's been tough for them but I'm glad the juniors made it through and managed to put up 2 awesome shows. The rest of the school got inspired by the juniors' performance and it feels really good that RSD managed to make another huge leap of achievement. The bar has been set even higher for the new batch of J1s. But I'm sure they can pull it through, create another success story, another history in RJ again. Hopefully the pressure is a form of motivation instead of an obstacle for them because they have so much potential.
I'm really thankful too that the juniors invited the alumni to be part of the concert. It was a great experience for me learning from the seniors. It was really humbling because I got to learn from the awesome seniors, and yet we were all dancing together for our lovely juniors, hoping to inspire them as much as they've inspired us. Also I'm thankful to have gotten to know Yiks and Bryan better :) such retarded jokers hahaha
And I was also given the opportunity to choreograph for the juniors! The 'I Got U' item received a lot of praises and love from the audience :))))) awesome job and thank you so much Fu Kang and Lingyi for dancing my item and making it shine onstage <3 couldn't have danced it better myself haha! And the 'Feel so close' item turned out well. I was so scared that it would be a flop but it was ok. Could've been better, I could've handled it better especially with regards to the entire flow, the formations, and even the steps ok basically everything... It was nerve wrecking managing 40 dancers and I couldn't have done it without Yiks and Steffi's comments and guidance thank you so much! The fact that Juliet's sisters said 'Feel So Close' was the best item in the dancical was unbelievable. I was just hoping that it wouldn't flop, being the finale item it carried so much weight. But the results were better than that and I felt so relieved that the audience managed to take home the message from that item and from the entire dancical. If that item went down, it will practically destroy the concert's purpose. So I'm so thankful it went well! I will really have to thank the juniors for making the item work and for bearing with my nonsense throughout the practices haha and for trying so hard together :')
I already miss dancing and working with everyone although the concert was only last friday and saturday!
And I miss hanging out with Boon Yi, Ye Oon and Cheng Yuen. I miss Ye Oon. But it is a sacrifice I have to make, and seeing him happy makes up for it.
Hope to hang out with Yiks and Bryan again! Watched Avengers with them last Monday night. Bloody good show by the way. Then went to eat at Mc Donald's and shared a cab home with Yiks. Had meaningful talks with them too :) Meanwhile I shall try not to get fat now that there are no more practices for the concert haha
