The warmest gifts

Just before I began my trip, I start received the blessing gift from my good friends

Alice - the greatest fold-able hair dryer

She knew I'm going to buy one and gave me this before I have one for myself

Really can't live without the hair dryer as I used to have my hair wash before sleep...

Emily's mum sweater

Giving by Emily as she said she and her mum failed to put this on after her mum has bought it from a Hong Kong trip >.<

Not sure Emily's mum knew this had went to me or not... ^o^

Emily - the inner insulated clothes 

Bernyce, Kok Hong, Heidi & Ken - iPhone touchable gloves

They knew I'm gonna to use the iPhone for the photo

Louise - the Thermal wear

Thanks for all of the blessing and farewell gifts for me

Every time I use it now, every time I recall your name in my mind

This really tricky ^o^

But these the warmest gifts I had have ever~

6th - 8th March Farewell in SG

Until today then only I knew that I haven't write a page for my farewell....

6th March 2014 (Thursday)

We took about half an hour looking for the Arab restaurant located in Arab Street

Well, it's really worth for that

The food and the environment is good (no others customer beside us ^o^)

Thanks for having dinner with me for the farewell

It's time to write down the contacts~

7th March 2014 (Friday)

I knew I will miss Fo Guang Shan's 素燥饭

Purposely came back for it

Because of this, I start to have mushroom for my meals

Ya, I don't eat mushroom at all before this, what a picky mouth >.<

1st time having the Lotus Tea

Well, I will prefer to enjoy it as a flower more than a tea

I really need to finish this book for Bernyce

Totally agreed with the Detachment Morris mean here~

Let it penetrate you, and you are able to leave it eventually

Because everything have it's life span, the expire time

After it has been penetrate you, and you won't keep it in your heart after the expire time

The satisfaction Morris mean here, is what I'm going to practice during my journey~

At night, I met with my CR11's colleagues

The Virgo's mother (Swee Wee) and The sunny girl (Sonia)

Never forget the great mother Margaret

At night when it comes to the departure time in Changi Airport, I have my good time with my good friends here~

1st March 2014 - Alice's ROM

新年回来Alice就告诉我说她要结婚了~

如果她不是水瓶女，我真的会吓了一大跳

当天是我辞职后的第一天，我竟然忘了带出新加坡关卡是要用的‘Employment Pass’

>.<

是的，我知道有passport就可以，但问题是我的指纹很浅，一般都不能通过的

结果当然是被卡在出口了，被关卡的警员领到一旁去，等了10分钟都还没来帮我处理出关的事

最后情急之下，我告诉关卡说我要结婚了，请赶快让我过关！！！

有惊无险的，我们赶在中午12点前抵达新山福建工会的婚姻注册所

Alice & Nicholas

神圣的一刻

礼成，在此正式宣布你们为合法夫妻~

有人说，婚姻是爱情的坟墓，我倒觉得没有婚姻的爱情，连个坟墓都没有，要死无葬身之地，那岂非更可怜？

有了婚姻，人就开始有担当、有兑现承诺的勇气、有怕死的心情、有甜蜜的负担、有勇于磨合的耐性，这是一个成长，是埋葬你天真的时刻~

我对每一个能踏入婚姻红地毯的朋友都抱着羡慕的眼光，能在这茫茫人海当中找到自己的另一半，并决定携手共度人生的下半辈子，那是多么不容易的事啊~ 

因为我知道不是每段感情的付出都会有所回报的，或许我是个比较容易付出的一方，但最后我还是希望有人会给我回应，哪怕是很微弱的声音也好~ 

所以能为好友做他们的爱情见证人对我而言不是见证了一段承诺那么简单，我还见证了我们的友情~

水饺告别餐

22-Feb-2014 My Last Working Sat with CR11

很快的，下个月我就要起航往北了
本来今天约好一个已离职的同事说要一起吃个午饭，就当是饯行的，谁知他临时有事（又不早点说，明明一星期前就已经问过他了的）... 最后还是若男比较有心，邀我上她家吃午饭~

不过说起来，我跟若男的交情，比其他两位深得多，至少我曾帮若男搬过家，她孩子满月时我也去探望过她，所以别人对你的好，也得看他跟你多深的交情啊~

上到她家的时候，竟然发现她和她老公（正义）在包饺子

 

第一次看到真人示范包饺子

若男的手法很熟练，饺子的形状也很好看，和她同年的我真的要自惭形秽...

她说他们北方人要给人送行是请对方吃饺子的，迎接朋友回来则是请对方吃面条，好贴心的一餐哦~

 

简单的水饺大餐+牛肉+兔肉+蔬菜冷盘

由于我不吃牛肉，所以吃的都是兔肉。这还是我第一次吃兔肉呢~ 话说兔肉也是若男的婆婆从中国进口来的，我也不好意思就这样‘帮’人家吃了千山万水带来给媳妇补身子的食物，草草吃了一些，感受一下兔肉什么口感的就好了。

嗯，味道有点像鸡肉~

加上那是在中国就已经加工烧烤了才带进来的，就像我们在超市买的BBQ鸡那样的味道

 

饱餐一顿之后就步行回家... 挨着高耸的HDB一直走，我不用开伞也不用怕晒，这就是新加坡独有的特色，高楼挡住了大大的太阳，让走在路上的人感觉凉爽，再远的路也能走下去....

我会怀念这些的~

Me & The Pole

My 1st approach the pole was a friend's invitation for a demo class. She wanted to learn the Pole Dance and asked me for accompany, only.

At first, I was just an accompany. As I only heard Pole Dance before and never see with my own eyes. Once I saw the instructor's muscle, it does attract me to know more about pole dance. Is Pole Dance only a dance of seducer?

That moment I was struggled in muscle built, for my tough journey coming in next year to the North Pole side. However, I couldn't find my interest in the gym room.

I like to dance, but I'm too short with my body length to a dance. I learn the international ballroom dance and street dance before, I'm pretty like to move with music. Maybe I should try once in my life, I mean the Pole Dance. The studio only female learner & instructors, that's a little help for me, it's quiet embarrassed to dance in front of guys. I need to built up my muscle and confident at the same time as well.

Dancing is a good sport no doubt, I shouldn't put on my color glasses to the Pole Dance which need a lot of strength to practice. I have such a narrow eyes to the world.

I won't denied that my parents will not like me to learn the Pole Dance, especially my father. Therefore, I learn quietly.

At the beginner stage, I found my body isn't flexible enough for all the movement. The friction between body and pole cause bruises on the body. Legs muscle pain due to over stretch. Hands become dry and rough... I never know all these until I get in.

 

When I finish my beginner and comes to the Intermediate 1, I just begin my nightmare.

I used to sign up 2 classes for 2 hours practice in order to built the muscle. I signed up Intermediate 1 & Technical 1 after my beginner pole & slap classes.

Bruises, muscle pain start everywhere of my body. I can even feel the pain in my dreams. In my first Intermediate 1 class, we start learning the upside down posture, that is my collapse point in my Pole Dance class. Look surround, everyone can do beside me. No matter how hard I try, I still can't get my strength to flip up. I didn't participate in the final performance and decided to retake the class.

Every semester we have different song even in the same level I stayed. The instructor really put their effort on the choreography works. I do like most of the song. For this semester, I had give up my Technical class to Pole Grooves. According to the instructor, it is mostly song dancing class. 

  

5 months after, I can even full split my legs, enjoy the happiness and pain. Dec 2013 I finally take part on the Performance week, with 2 songs in Pole Grooves: 1) Dark Horse & Give It To Me & 1 songs for Int 1: Applause

After this, I decided to stop here and start my journey plan...

Lady Gaga's "Applause" is the selected song for the Intermediate 1 Pole Dancer, my last practical song.

Don't said so certain when you don't know the full picture. The good and bad thing is depends in what is in the mind, not the nature thing itself. I used to be misunderstand by others, but sometimes, I couldn't care that much >.<
