28/3/2009 - present

Air at last!!! But what about the 2 reports, 1 assignment and 2 quizzes due next week? Mid sem break has begun, so ill see to my studies soon enough... after i get my @#*^%&$ SLEEP! For God's sake a mid sem break is a time for you to catch up with the happening HD students in monash. I beg to differ. After spending the last 2 weeks or so under pressure beyond my tolerance, this and only THIS is MY time to uhu glue MYSELF to MY bed.
Lets recap...

I've only recently started to appear online again and managed to check out facebook which has been sending me tonnes of updates to my poor hotmail account. Well there's always an explanation. Between the 28th of March til the 3rd of April was without a doubt my toughest week of uni so far. Within that week, the average hours of sleep i got was between 3 to 4 hours per day and sometimes even 2hrs. 2 reports were due on 30th, 1 quiz on 31st, 1 essay assignment due 1 - 3rd, 1 dance performance on 1st and finally a presentation on the 3rd of April. You're probably thinking "cehhh I've had this this that and even more things to juggle". Well it IS manageable... But! with our dance concert practices burning up our free time til 10 - 11pm on our free-er days so that we can "burn the dance floor" for our audience, do we really have time? Could the so called technique of 'time management' advised by the uni to help cope with just about everything assist us with the weight on our shoulders? What if I've spreaded my work load for the week but dont have the energy to carry it out? That was the whole problem. Time management should be paired with energy management aka getting enough rest and this is starting to sound like some therapy session, okay CHUP! Anyhow that was one hectic week which costed me my overall well-being and headache for the next several days. To top it all up, there was a period of social turmoil that led to depression in some including myself. What was a slight misunderstanding snowballed into a friendship-on-the-line issue. Many a time there were struggles to bring it all back together, tears were shed, voices were raised and hearts were tainted.
Im glad things are more or less steady now, although i wished things were like before which is why i say "what happened to the good times?" Sigh... Things change, people change, if only we were humble enough to forgive one another and carry on with our lives.
Anyway, the big night (9/4/09) is officially over!! So happy!! here are some pics of MDFC's Extravaganza concert:




and finally the post-concert... of course there were a lot more performers.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all dancers, FANTASTIC JOB PEEPZ!!! All that hardcore training T.T, the scoldings, the eye-bags, the carpet burns, the bruises, the stinky dance room, the tears, the bloodshed and most importantly the time spent together will always be treasured in my mind, heart and soul...
