lyrical is in the limelight. many seem to be doing it. ok in fact almost everything everyone does is lyrical be it hip hop jazz or lyrical. and seems like mainstream music is offering people chances to explore their creative potential. good good. i wanna dance in more lyrical stuff. and work on my technique hopefully. it better be soon cos my dance career wont be for long. i'm gonna let my inner thigh muscles undergo disuse atrophy and get myself an arthritis or two. and get fat. so people even if it's dancing to twinkle twinkle little star lyrically, let me knoe, i'll watch and not dance.
and for those who wanna optimise their lyrical potential, might wanna check out ryan tan;s lyrical jazz classes every monday. check out o-school website.

speaking of which many blast members have been sweating it out in AS7 n contributing to the stench. and somehow like everyone is finishing up their choreo for the sake of vetting this coming wednesday. my opinion. but everything looks good and i see more people sprouting out of nowhere. i like caleb's item. maybe cause it's completed. i'm looking forward to shut up and dance.

and decided to join the tri-fac bash competition to do my fac a favour and join the dance comp cause no one else is joining. i hope i dont exert myself too much. after all these are over, i'm gg to study, i really am. i wanna grad and practice some decent medicine and surgery.

i need sleeping pills...

it's been a hectic past month and getting more hectic soon. dance and dance everyday. even national day. speaking of which i dont feel the "patriotism" like i usually do. the last time i thought i did something proud for my country was during 2004 NDP i think. we did the flag stuff. in front of a crowd of 60,000. ok maybe also when i helped by not littering, smiled at tourists and giving them directions. just to put singapore 'there'. like we kena force to also. i saw this ad on a double-decked bus some time ago about some smile singapore campaign, come this september. i'm not surprised cause they have like delegations from around the world coming for the imf meeting. we have to be told how to behave what to do and what not to. but i thinkthat's normal for singaporeans, at least for the majority. why question policies that if questioned might be career ending or be made to believe that one is being persecuted. never mind. i'll leave such things to the bothered.

dance is getting crazy. i think i will get chronic fatigue and hypo-studyemia if i keep up at this rate. damn. but so far the short postings have been good to me. they are not so demanding and the timing of SIP would be just right. right after DR and the Next Wave. i'm doing caleb's, idil's and jiexiao's item. different styles and music. so can get to explore and i enjoy them in their own way(s). i think this yr's DR would be a choreo explosion. from the very experienced to the young choreographers who indeed have substance, i think it's going to be a night of hip hop overdose! but may have it's drawbacks. maybe i talk about it post concert la. not nice to mention things now. and the prganization of the rehearsals, administration and conduct of DR stuff have been seemingly smooth and good. kudos! CFA should make us dance jackets! for every group. brings about some sense of pride and identity. or better we make it overselves. looking forward to both.

currently doing geriatrics. letures were boring. tutors were telling grandparent stories (no pun intended). some even mocked the old people! yes there are evil doctors out there. beware! haha. and nowadays they keep telling us to practise safe medicine if we dont want to be famous. by famous he/she means not to be advertised in straits times front page. which is true. but the emphasis is somewhat misplaced. maybe it's how they deliver the message. medicine in the first was never meant to be an unethical practise. it's just i think we med students have sometimes been misguided. ok maybe not misguided but certain things are not emphasised during ward rounds or clinical tutorials. like basic ethics of approach, treatment etc. which is the art of it. and some doctors r truly bad example of what a doctor should be. poor clinical manners and students passively pick it up. thinking it's normal. hence we are a self-perpetuating bunch, like it or not. but again, i'm not in the position to revamp medical education and yes i am a rebel myself and sometimes i dont like the way things are done in medical school and yes i am at a lost. but i have no choice, everyone i think feels like that some time or another.

the rest of NUS would be starting school soon. not that it matters. lalala.

yes anyone with a rapid weight loss suggestions, regimens, techniques pls let me know. in person or via email. i need to lose some weight(ok maybe not some).
