life with a 2nd dimension

Quote from our dearest dellick "without flare, life would be, wake up, brush teeth, eat, go to school, come home, study, hug pillow, sleep. and then go clubbing on the occasional weekend. with flare, there is a second dimension to life here in Aus, especially for us international students. flare has become our surrogate family. working together for dance, gigs and the production just gives our lives that extra meaning. and this is something people outside flare can never understand."

My my.. how true.. this is what i've always been saying... that i dont wanna be the people outside flare and live a 1 dimensional life. That is why, no matter how busy i am with my vet course, i refuse to give flare us. it's like leaving my family here. i was a very very very sad person when i just came here to Aus. i mean, i loved my collage frens but i've always felt that something was missing... then i experienced rhythmicity... and now i feel like i finally belong somewhere.

i love my vet people and i know they love me too. but i feel that they have their own lives. i dont usually call them when i'm sad or bored coz more often than not, they have something of their own going on too. Shwee has her happening clubbing life, Pris has her bf, Dawn has her collage frens, Jia and Leasly have each other and so do wenwen and jean, and bing and Est have each other also and so on...

this is kinda sensitive but... i sadly know some people in vet course who lead 1 dimensional lives. but for all i may know, they are happy the way they are and dont need a surrogate family in Aus like me. sometimes i HATE the vet course for turning their students' lives to be like this. well it IS vet....

Thru flare, i've made sooooooo many frens. i've never had so many frens in my life coz, i've always been socially awkward. when i jsut started out in secondary sch i had problems, in primary sch, i didn't have alot of frens, in JC.. well things weren't too bad, but flare was truely turned my life one full circle. i felt that i was accepted for who i am, the socailly awkward ning. i didnt have to pretend that i was 'cool' or act extra nice and be hypocritical. and thru flare, i am not socially awkward anymore. not that much i think.. i'm still changing.

Bless you jane khoo.. without this 'asian' dance club, i would have goen crying back to singapore a long time ago...

Ooopsss.. forgot to mention the very person whom i quoted. Deliik ah dellick.. after watching all thoes emotional videos yesterday, i suddenly felt that my video wasn't good enough. as in, it's too damn general lah. so i said i'll pass you a better one. but i'm IT lazy so i'll just blog and you and many others can read it.. hmm, i know we're not that close. but i dont know if you know how much i and many others look up to you as a leader. even mroe so for me because i am your 'succesor' [VP lah..] you were truely an alpha male here in our group. i admire the way you pushed your ideas and revolutionalised flare. the many gigs made us so damn popluar, the hiphop/jazz/contemp practises was so different and good. i dont know if people thought i was as good a VP as you but i though i wasn't. there were many other things i wanted to do with flare but my stupid vet course (blaming it again..) stopped me from even thinking about it. when you lead gigs, meal times, etc etc, everything was smoother. you dont know how empty our gig group felt whenever we didn't have you around this year to do gigs with us. your name would pop up afew times every now and then. so dont eveer feel that we dont need you! also... OMGoodness, you are a true example of what dedication can do. your dancing has sky-rockated from 0 to hero just becoz of shear practise and perserverance. we wil be missing ya dellick! dont fly so high till you loss sight of us...
