Hihi all! Sunday 23rd Jan hear Sophan's story very interesting uh!! Karen may have felt sleepy but I personally like to hear ppl's past experiences. You can learn a few pointers here and there. But the main thing from Sophan's story is what???

DON'T BE COMPLACENT!

However let's not make that a rule when we have practice, let's not make it something that we have to follow and abide by. I'm not saying that we should be, but let that characteristic of not being complacent be part of us naturally. Always saying 'eh dun complacent uh' to each other is a good reminder but you know, we shouldn't be having the need to do tt. Our mindset should already have that in place. Get what i mean? DISCIPLINE is something we need in a crew. I say first arh, I'm not shooting or saying anything here ok, just wanna say tis once more. Just a reminder(:

Also one more thing we need to remember most is why we're dancing. We dance just cause we LOVE dancing. As Ann said before. So let's look forward to trainings, look forward to classes. And by this, let's not give ourselves stress by saying we need to get to finals otherwise very sad. Maybe yall not stress la, but I feel stress. Stress like cannot let the choreographer down, need to choreo something zai for the group. These kinda stuff. So when we come for training. Let's make it an enjoyable one. Let us be both focus on task and yet have fun at the same time. Why? Cause we love dancing and we should enjoy what we're doing. So when we go up each time on stage, let's just treat it as another prac, just with nicer clothing, nicer hairstyles and with more people watching. I want us to most importantly HAVE FUN on stage. Someone screw up, its ok, dun beat yourself up cause of that. Its not something embarrassing cause we all make mistakes. That's what I believe in.

One last thing I would wanna say to your guys is that we should always ENCOURAGE AND LOVE each other. We may scold each other, shout vulgarities, get annoyed at each other. Even though it may be play play one, but at the end of the day let's keep pushing each other on. Some may get demoralize during practice, stress when the date is nearer. But let's spur each other on with words of encouragement during that period of time, so that as a crew, together we can be assured as one. We can feel for each other.

For me that time when I was sick during Danzation, and I didn't come for Friday morning's run. And when I came in the afternoon. I received many wonderful welcomes of asking whether I was fine, whether I was alright by instructors and fellow item dancers. It made me feel very loved, very belonged. And especially when I opened the holding room door and I was greeted with a cohered sound of 'SAMMMMMM' I was actually very overwhelmed at that moment. I was really touched that I was speechless. All I could say was hi hi hi, yea im fine thx. You all made me feel important, feel loved, feel needed, feel really belonged, feel encouraged. And I really Thank God for all of you. I really do. I thank God for placing me in NP, for allowing me through the auditions, and for getting to know each and everyone of you. Cause He has placed me in a very loving family which I love very much. And because of this I really believe the BONDS that we have is very very important. I wanna form deeper bonds with all of you, whether you're in B class or A3 it doesnt matter. That's not a boundary between us that should stand in our way. Dun feel left out, Cause every single one of you will be in my heart. I dun wish to see ppl leaving NRA cause when a family member leaves its heartbreaking. I wanna see us grow as one. As we graduate and ppl go army there may be some incidents that we can't prevent. But nonetheless i hope that we can all stay tgt. ESP wif TAKO! My crew!! No matter what let's always stay together. Its not about bromance but I love all of you and I really wanna be in this little family for as long as I can.

So I've said a whole chunk of stuff. hahahaha. but I just hope we can all be closer with the same mindset with the same love for dance. Let's improve together and push each other on. I love TAKO and NRA!! <3 jiayouuuuu! (:

STAN~
