2012: Truly, a Year of Change.


At the beginning of 2012, i told myself that this year would be a year of change.

And then had just 3 days, 3 days, to practice around 14 different routines..formations and all for the Genting show! 

The first time HyperActive Crew performed together. =)
Thus, the birth of HyperActive Crew! =))
was there for a whole week.
And it was a really crazy week! never danced so many times in a row before!!
Super tiring.. but it was all worth it!

Genting was the period where we started getting fans from all over!

Had the opportunity to get to know some of the members from Katoon Network btr.. =)

Ber-bonding moments in Genting.
Precious moments that i'll always keep close to my heart. =)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So yes, totally didn't plan to upload any pictures at all into this post. But it ended up becoming this really longggggggg entry. haahhaa. But i guess it'll be nice, even for me, to look back at all these highlights. =) Like i said, 2012 has truly been a change for Me. A big big change. 

Both Good and Bad.
But I choose to look at the Good in Life.
These are just some of the big events or highlights of my 2012. But there were many little...little moments in my 2012 that summed my 2012 into a year i'd never forget. =)

Alot of my dreams came true this year. Alot of my wishes were answered.
I finally got a car that i have been saving for since I was 15 years old!
I finally got to go to Australia, the country that i wanted to visit so badly as a Kid. Well, coz of them kuala bears and kangaroos of course! =P Been saving for it! and finally, the opportunity came when Air Asia had those cheap flights thingy.
Performed in Genting! Was quite a big deal for me! Because i've always heard stories of my friends performing there and all..and this year, i got to experience it myself!
Found a crew that I could really dance with and stay with. Was one of my wishes to Perform more and to join more competitions this year!!
I got my first smart phone as a Birthday Gift! :O
Not forgetting an awesome trip with the bestie! FINALLY.
and everything else!
and recently.. I had the opportunity to answer yet, another wishlist of mine!!

I've been saving for a DSLR for a long time now. =)
U guys prolly know how crazy i am when it comes to photography. =))
And so! an opportunity came to me on the 26th of Dec! Friend bought the camera for his photography class in uni.. and after one month when he was done, he no longer had any interest to continue photography..and so, he decided to sell his Nikon 3100 to me for a really really good price!!! :O! Yet another opportunity, given to me.

To be honest, all these things that i've got, all these wishes answered, it all came true because doors opened up for me. I waited.. and slowly but surely, it came to me in the end. And hence, why i believe that Good things come to those who wait! And this i know is true! =)))
I Am Truly Blessed.
Wouldn't trade my Life for any other.
Wouldn't want to be anybody else either.

Just wanna say THANK YOU.. to each and everyone of you who played a role in my Life in 2012. You guys made it a year to remember... =')
Super duper much muchs Love!!!
xoxo.!


Memories will be made. Memories will always Linger in my heart and thoughts. But i will look forward and brace Myself for what 2013 has yet to offer!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! =)
xoxo.!

A month ago?!

Hello people.

Yes, an update! Finally!

I've been wanting to update this blog for a very long time..with pictures and all.. but i've been extremely busy..its quite crazy how busy i've been in these pass few months...

So where did i left of? Yes, The HyperActive Dance concert!
I would upload pictures.. i keep telling myself that i will update when i have the time to upload all the pictures along with the post.. but i guess i'm just too busy to do that at the moment. SO.. here's a brief update. =P
Coz some people keep complaining about my blog being dead! hhahaha.. But yeah, a month is quite long for This blog. =P

Anyways, the HA concert was a success! T'was indeed an awesome night!!
We had a super duper long day. We barely had time to rest.. or make up, etc. We were just so busy practicing and practicing. We practiced really really hard for this concert. The turn out was great! it was overwhelming.. =') Was so happy to see all my friends, family and fans there. =')
Thank You all so much for coming!!! :))))

And on a personal note, i went home, with no regrets. Didn't do any mistakes.. managed to conquer all the difficulties and challenges that i was facing.. The concert was smooth sailing for me. =) It was a happy night.. All my hard work and effort, it all paid off!
It was a night to remember. =)

Right after the HA Concert, i headed to Cameron Highlands for 4 days to teach dance in a youth camp. Held the dance workshops and was a facilitator at the camp. =) It was a good 4 days.. tiring as well tho..and challenging..because i was so bz with the HA Concert, i only got to meet up with the camp committee a day before camp. And i had to choreograph 4 different routines in 4 days..on the spot itself.. to cut the songs..choose the songs and choreograph. So it was really challenging.. really tiring.. and really rush! But i managed to get it all done i guess.. otherwise, i met some new friends.. it's always so nice meeting new people.. =D and it felt kinda weird being back at this camp as a dance instructor and a facilitator when i used to be a camper myself. hahaa.. How time flies. But anyways, it was a nice get away for me.. Even though i was still pretty busy there.. i guess it was nice being closer to nature..away from the city. =)

After Cameron Highlands, I was pretty busy spending time with my family.. coz i've been MIA for so long.. and sissy came up to KL with the nephew and niece as well.. so brought them around and stuffs. =) Matt (friend from Aussie) was in KL as well.. infact, he was here even before the HA concert! i guess u can prolly imagine how busy i was.. Of course, i wanted to spend as much time with Him whenever i can coz he came all the way just to spend time with me and a few others.. but i had dance pracs at the same time.. so yeah..pretty crazy. Anyways, sissy left, matt left, but Shelley (Matt's sissy) came to M'sia right after he left. So another 2 weeks of touring and food. (fat fat fat~) T_T On top of that, I was still having classes. Yes, classes. How u tell meeeeee.?

I just started me holidays! =) Today is my first day of hollie actually.. =)
So yeah.. and oh! i was suppose to perform on christmas eve for this project and big event called the "Majestic Circus".. was suppose to held in KL Live.. and so i've been really busy practicing for it.. Pracs have been pretty cool tho.. coz we were practicing with quite a few of the top top dancers in Msia.. was really cool getting to know each of them better,hang out and all.. Yes indeed, Blessed I am! :D

but it got canceled due to some issues. D: sad sad sad~ was really looking forward to it. We were just 3 days away from it. =( but oh well~ so yes~ less things on my mind now, since hollies have begun = No more classes. Plus, hmm, prolly no more dance performances with HA till next year.. Only dancing for christmas day in church. :D *yes, non-stop dancing, somehow,somewhere,all the time~!*

But i've been so busy, definitely gotta use this 1 week to try to catch up with whatever i left out in my studies i guess. It's always easier talking abt it, but i'm gonna try my best to do wht i can with the time i have. :)

AND........... CHRISTMAS IS COMINGGGGGGGG! JUST 2 DAYS! 2 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!
So excited! can't wait! i got all my christmas gifts wrapped, all my handmade cards, DONE!

Required alot of time and effort.. in some ways, money too.
But i've always been a gift person ever since i was a kid! I loveddddd giving gifts.. but of course, i love receiving them as well! =) So yeah! Exciteds!!!

Also, december has been an unbelievably expensive month for me. =(
So much costly expenses... Haihs. Some not so happy expenses too.. =(
But ah well. Suck it in. This is Life. ;) money comes and go.

OKAY. So.. i am.. super tired now. hahaa. So much more i have to say!
but i guess i should really get some sleep~ My body is starting to reject my bad habit of being nocturnal. =P

xoxo.!

What Drives Me?

Hey guys.

This is an entry specially dedicated to all of you peeps out there who supports me, encourages me, motivates me, to my friends.. and to my family.

The question i always have to answer:

" How do you juggle both Law and Dance? "

A very simple question yet, a very deep one.
I used to be able to juggle both dance and studies.. because i would only have to go to dance class once a week.. it used to be manageable. Till 2012. When HyperActive Zone was born. When we had our first competition together as a crew in February. And now, with HyperActive crew, a crew that is constantly growing and moving.. It has become pretty tough for me. We have practices on a very regular basis.Especially with the upcoming concert, pracs have been down right crazy. It doesn't only affect me physically.. but it automatically affects my ability to focus as well. Body tired = Mind will eventually be tired as well.

I have to travel all the way to cheras from my place and it isn't very near per say.
And so, with the early morning classes.. the bulky and energy brain power draining classes, i have become SO tired.. so tired for anything.. for anyone... not even for my own self. I barely have time for myself. Sometimes, i even find myself being too busy for God.

I have been fighting with time. I have been in a race with time. It's flying... and i'm trying my utmost best to catch up with it. I have a very tough time juggling dance and studies. I keep hoping that things will ease up after the concert. Will it? well, only time will tell.. But i am trying my best. To strike a balance between my studies and dance. Both of which, requires ample of time.. Both of which, is equally important to me..

But my main point is..

I know i have been very busy to meet or see or spend time with any of you.
I really thank you for understanding and staying by my side still..

For those who will be coming for the concert on the 1st Of December..

You have NO IDEA... how much encouragement and motivation you guys are giving me.. I have a list of names of the people who will be coming for the concert. Everytime i get tired.. everytime i become too exhausted till the point where i feel i can no longer push on and press on... I take out this paper and look at every single name on this paper. YOU GUYS.. give me alot of support and encouragement.. alot of motivation in ways, you cannot see.

When i feel like giving up when the going gets tough, i press on.. I PERSEVERE .. because of you guys.

So Thank You... Thank You for supporting me.. Thank You for going out of your way, for making time, for spending some money, Just to come support me. You have no idea how much it means to me.. and You have no idea how much it DRIVES ME.. to continue and to do my best regardless of the challenges that i currently face.

YOU GUYS... YOU DRIVE ME.

I appreciate every single one of you guys.. and i hope to MAKE YOU PROUD! When you see me perform on the 1st of December. Please do not leave right after the concert k?! I wanna see u guys and take picture with u guys! =P hehe. yes.. picture... *ahh typical celine.. * =P shh! Let me be! u know u love them pictures! =P


Much Love!
Celine.  : )
