You cant stop the beat!

Now I cant stop dancing. Haha I am SO SO SO SO glad to join dance. You have no idea. And this is all thanks to...

GODWIN TAN!!!!

Haha I cant believe I'm actually writing a thank you post on him. But still, it's him that made everything happen. I have always always had this passion for dance (I was in Chinese Dance in my primary school in Hong Kong, and now that I looked back, my competition costume then was TERRIBLE. It's TERRIBLE. I WAS A FARMER. HAHAHA. The others were pumpkins. HAHAHA!), but after leaving primary school for Singapore, I did not join dance cuz I thought everyone needed ballet to enter.

So this impression has always been with me. No guts to try out for secondary school's dance, and AC's Dance Society was totally out of the question. January's audition went by, then came March's. I have THOUGHT about going, but but but, well lots of buts were going through my mind. I told myself, OK, I'll put an appointment alarm to remind myself about dance audition next week. But on that day itself, I didn't even bring my change of attire to school. After dismissal, I just sat around and played bridge with my friends.

After a while, I saw Godwin, who's in dance. Out of curiosity, I just went over and asked: "Hey Godwin, so how's dance audition like?"

He told me briefly how it's going to be like, and asked if I wanted to try out.

"Well yea, I kinda thought about it, but I think dont want la."

Then surprisingly (yea, surprisingly), he started encouraging me.

"Why! Just try la! If you dont you'll regret. Just try!"

This went on for quite a bit, and it was a much needed boost for me. I thought, yea, if I dont try and dont find out how it's like, I'll regret it forever. So, I quickly went home to get my stuff, and went back to school for the audition. Good thing it starts late in the afternoon.

----------

I thought I didn't do all that well for the audition. I went home a little demoralized and discouraged, and the next day, I left Singapore for Thailand. For days during the holiday, I didn't receive any email from Janice, who's supposed to tell me if I got into dance. Then I was like, that's it. I didn't get in. End of story.

But when I returned to Hong Kong from thailand and switched on my phone (thank goodness for auto-roaming), I received this message:

"Hi Jane, this is cheryl from Dance. You got through but you didn't sign beside your name on the list, so I was wondering if you still wanted to join dance!"

I was like, OH.MY.GOD. Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg. Then, I was like, shit. How am I supposed to contact her?? It was nearly midnight and I'm on the car leaving from the airport. I was panicking, what if she thought I didn't want to join dance anymore cuz I didn't reply??

Ah then a little drama here and there but that's not really important cuz I just realized this post is supposed to be solely for showing my gratitude towards Godwin. Haha :D So here goes...

GODWIN THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU REALLY HELPED AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS MEANT TO ME THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
