LIVE WELL WHEN WE'RE GONE

Friday, July 23, 2010

Hello Dancers, it's been a really long time, and like what Jolene said, we really havent had the chance to say a proper goodbye. So now here we are, penning down what we really want to say to you.

To tell the truth, being the President of Cedar Dance wasn't easy. There were times when i didn't want to commit to the role anymore, but seeing all of you put in effort and doing your best into the dance inspired me and gave me the motivation to go on. So listen to Irene and Denise ok! And continuing giving your best! :)

You know, going back the other day to watch you guys dance was heartwarming. All of you were enjoying yourselves, and lao shi was so happy, which makes me happy too! Yea, continue having fun and enjoying yourselves in dance ok, cause that's the most imporant thing. I always believe in having passion for something you do, cause that's when you do your thing best.

Enjoy the process + putting in your heart and soul (really, must feel the dance) = ENERGY!

So Sec 3s, 2s and 1s, when you dance, just dance.
"Dance first, think later, that's the natural order"
At first i didn't really understand this quote, but after an incident, i did. So i learnt to just put all my other troubles aside when i'm dancing so that i can give my best. Haha, i'm like trying to explain the meanings of the quotes to you.

And i really saw improvements in all of you! YAY! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Lastly, I LOVE CEDAR DANCE, cause we are like a family, cause we share the same passion, cause that's how we click. So Dancers, I hope you will love Cedar Dance too! (Yea, sometimes i still blast the music and dance in front of anything that can show me my reflection. Therefore i will always be a dancer.)

So Dancers, work with your new Pres and Vice and Secetary and dance mates and make more memories! Cedar Dance will have GOLD WITH HONOURS AGAIN, not just because we see the title as the most important thing and dance like mad just to get it,
but because we the dance is just like a part of our soul- we feel it and are so immeresed in it and before we know it, here's our GWH. :) (of course, still must work hard for it)

LOVE, Xin Yun :)

Dearest Dancers,

OMGAHHH I MISS CEDAR DANCE SO MUCH!!
I think it's quite impossible to put into words how i yearn to still be a part of you guys :(

Anyway, so Leaders' Investiture '10 was just over and XY and I have officially stepped down..
So, a round of applause to your new sexy leaders Irene and Denise! :D
Sorry we never really had a proper chance to like, officially say goodbye to everyone, time just flies past too fast for us to stop and think.
Everything began and ended so abruptly; from last year's rushed Open house booth and performance, then onto preparations for Dancity which was pushed forward, and I do feel a tinge of sadness I never really did bid farewell to CMD.

So looking back on what we've done, what we've been through, I have some things to say, so bear with me :)

It's been crazy. The early days of 2007 - Do you remember, sec4s? It seems ancient now, those bhangra days, the "OMG-LOOK-AT-OUR-SENIORS-DANCE" days.. and those days where dance prac didnt seem all that great, YET. Not to forget the HSM My School Rocks competition, thanks for putting up with my insane moodswingy temperament, and for not killing me while i was being a jerk. Of course, we've had our ups and downs too, but with lovely memories, how can i not freaking love you sec4s!!!!

2008, and the black-badged juniors set foot into the AS as CMDancers. Initially not all that close, I am glad that we've indeed fostered stronger bonds. With SYF 09, such memories will never leave my internal hard drive. With hair-drama, tears and of course laughter, seriously. You're all IRREPLACABLE.

Then comes 2009, with yet another batch of juniors, and then suddenly XY and I were left to lead CMD. With Open House, memories of us all dancing together kept my spirits high throughout this year in Cedar, and it was a pleasure to be a part of that family. CMD keeps me going. :)

And now's 2010, with another lovely batch of sec1s. Cedar Dancity was a blast and I'm really glad I got to know some of you better, and shared the joy of being in CMD with each other. With the hype about Dancity, I have had a gazillion magic moments with all you dancers, and I'll always treasure it.


Thankyou sec4s, for being the best batchmates ever. :) Thankyou for the countless memories dancing, laughing, crying, mugging, choreographing, and cutting hair together. Never forget. :*

Thankyou sec3s, for being immensely crazy and wonderful to have around. :) Thankyou for always dancing your heart out and bearing with me. :) You guys, stay together ok! Be like the puzzle pieces of Cedar Dance. :)

Thankyou sec2s, for always being sweet and fun to be with. :) Thankyou for always giving your best. Have confidence in yourselves, you all make great dancers! :)

Thankyou sec1s, for always being enthusiastic and lovely to guide. :) You are an inspiration to us and continue to work hard. :)

Thankyou dancers, for being a wonderful family to lead, and to be a part of.
It was a wonderful experience, and i am not exaggerating when I say it is magical.
It IS magical.
:)

Dance is our rythm of life. Live it. :)
Bye, dancers.
This is my last post here.

I LOVE YOU CEDAR MODERN DANCERS! :)
you'll always be a part of me indefinitely.
missing you.


Love,
Jolene.

dearest cedar modern dancers,
it's 20th April and some of us just reached home like, 2 hours ago after dance prac, and yes i know we're all so tired!
omg, my eyelids are like, drooping as i type this, haha.
anyways, i would've liked to text all of you, but my phone is under repair (due to silly damages) and i can't mass text everyone, sooooo..
i'll say it here :)

for those not performing for arts fest:
its 2 more days till your friends are performing,
remember to support them by encouraging them and coming for dance night ok :)
And, always always remember, walls between you and what you want were created to be broken by those who want it badly enough.
you will have many many other chances, and fight for them. :)
(not literally fight ok!)


for the performers:
2 more days till the big day.
2 more days till we hit the stage and shine for the 5 minutes.
for those 5 minutes, we have perspired, bled, fell, laughed, cried or even lost hope.
for those 5 minutes, we have sprained our ankles, injured our backs, hip, gotten countless MCs, endured long practices, endured gastric pains, menstrual cramps.
for those 5 minutes, we could have neglected our other commitments, triggered tension amongst ourselves, lost hope in others, lost hope in us.

but i just want to tell you, honestly, dancers,
YOU ARE AMAZING. (im not saying because i have to, im saying it cos i mean it)
no one is you-er than you.
you're all special, you're all awesome.

what are we?
we are cedar dance.
we can do anything we put out minds to.
we create our own spotlights.
we are worth each and every of the 400 tickets.

the hard work, sweat, drilling and tears will pull off.
and for those 5 minutes of dance, you will finally feel it in each of you dancing toes.
for those 5 minutes of dance, enjoy it.
for each round of applause, you will feel the pride you deserve.


dancers, all i can say now, is
thank you for all your hard work,
and all i want for you now is to
savour the dance, live in the moment.
with each step you take, each move you make, each beat the music plays, each clap the audience applauds,
enjoy the dance.
enjoy dancing.
cos that's really all that matters. (really!!)


HAVE FUN & do your best.
i'm proud of you and you should be too.
jiayou cedar dancers!!!!!! :)


"dance until the stars fall from the sky and fill your hair with sparkle and light."

to sec4s:
i'm not ready to leave just yet, are you? :(



love,
jolene

hi dancers.

I hope you haven't been to affected by the school's sudden decision (and boy, do i mean sudden) decision to cancel Dance Night '10. I guess we're all really disappointed about that, especially when the decision was made, just. like. that. :(

Please don't be too sad, even though I know I am, & especially the sec4s. Don't lose hope in Cedar Dance, and please continue to believe that we're awesome. Cos we really are. I guess this year is really a tough year for the school too, being the first year back at the new campus, with new facilities like the plush auditorium, and new approaches to promoting the cedar arts scene, like Arts Fest '10. Let's not hang our heads low about the calling off of Dance Night. Let's appreciate that Cedar has taken her first step (no matter how little) to showcase and hone Cedar's own aesthetic talents. Maybe you might not have realised, but Cedar Dance has come a long way, and the fact that we were given a chance to have our own dance night at first already means something.

For those who didn't manage to get through the auditions for contemp, or didn't get the chance to take part in Arts Fest, please don't be too sad too. You will all get a chance for SYF '11, and hopefully, Dance Night '12. :) You've tried your best, & you deserve a pat on the back!

Dancers, let's put in our best for Arts Fest, no matter how tiring, or painful. Do we want to do it? I know some of us really want it that bad, and I hope we'll all put in our best for it. :) WE ARE AWESOME.


Thanks cedar dancers, those who try their best for dance, who put in the effort. It's really evident, for some of you, & I really appreciate it. Keep it up! :)

jolene.

Lao Shi's Tickets
Hey Dancers!
PAY UP OK, the dance tickets are $10!

Friday, March 5, 2010

I <3 Times New Roman.

Haha, ok, I've gotten Miss Siew to book the tickets for Lao Shi's concert: One Dance, Three Mutations. The list of people going is in the previous post, updated today, 5 March.
* Tickets have been booked, so don't make changes ok! And there's grant. YAYYY!

And tell you more about...

ARTS FESTIVAL!
It's called Cedar Dancity. KEWL right?
Date: 22 April 2010, Thursday (cannot change date)
Time: Most probably 7pm to 8pm

It's a collaboration with Malay and Indian Dance. The three CCAs will be performing together, and it's ticketed. We'll do our level cheoreographies, that's why it must be ready by 24 March!
But Dance Night will be BIGGER!

DANCE NIGHT
will be AWESOME

Date/time: Most prob 16 & 17 July, Fri night & Sat afternoon (sorry jolene, Miss Siew can't change to 8 & 9, cause there's Meet The Parent Session.)

And your dance tees are in the midst of completion, actually not really, only the design. BUT HAVE PATIENCE AND WAIT OK. :) I'll upload the pic once it's ready. Changed it abit. There's no more 'Dancers in midst', but there's 3 figurines and pulse and a heart. Any objections?

And what do you guys prefer:
1) Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of life.
2) Dance is my pulse, my heartbeat, my breathing. It's my rhythm of life.

Obviusly the second one right?

Bye, XY
