AYG Opening
Asian Youth Games Opening Ceremony.
They said we are the very first and thus most important item for the opening ceremony, but judging from the media coverage on our item, i highly doubt so ha. Whatever the case, it was pretty cool to be able to perform in the Indoor Stadium. I mean, usually, we would be at the audience seats watching a performance, how many times do we get to be on the stage itself? The view from the stage was pretty spectacular, i never realized how close to the audience we actually were, i could even see the faces of the first few rows clearly!
childhood idols
Not too many pictures taken because i wasnt too hyped up for this event, costumes were not exactly pretty, the waiting time was too long and i was bored, and most of the 100 dancers were from other dance groups (eg. Ensemble, chinese dance etc) or juniors of Blast! who i dont really know well.
And with my last year in NUS, im starting to wonder how many more chances do i have to perform on stage again...

Psychology observation program
So, 2 weeks of the psychology observation program (POP) at IMH has come to an end and i know i will miss it. It has been an enriching experience which gave me the opportunity to gain new insights into this field and what it entails, learn about various forms of psychotherapy, interact with clinical psychologists and observe live/taped consultations and interviews with patients, and of course made some fabulous new friends.
I really enjoyed these 2 weeks and im more sure than ever that this is really what i wanna do in my life. It is a very challenging yet rewarding job, and with the new and interesting cases that clinical psychologists encounter each day, it'll never be mundane and boring. Hopefully, i'll be able to get into the NUS Masters of Clinical Psychology program and be on my way to becoming a clinical psychologist!

The last update of my USA travel as i wanna save the best for the last :)
The main highlight for me in New York City was the Broadway Dance Center! I was so thrilled about going for Luam's classes!
my idol choreographer !*squeals*
me and LUAM! She is so humble and patient and nice and im so in love with her choreography!
the standard of Dance in USA is really much much higher compared to Singapore. I could only make time for the advanced beginner class and at first i thought it would be rather slow paced. However most of the dancers there were advanced beginners NOT! They were more like intermediate or pros! Especially the japanese and the blacks...they were really strong dancers. Even the warm up was like x2 the pace of our warmups here. Lucky i didnt go for the intermediate classes...i would be so lost! Nevertheless it was a great learning experience and i've really learnt a lot from her in that 1.5hours. I wish i could stay in NY and go for her classes every week!
And now i cant wait for AYG to be over so i can go for sheila's and bryan's class again!
