When a dancer is on the stage for a performance, one will feel weightless and just like a flying swan in the air. Despite stretching all parts of your muscles or how demanding it can be, you will look just as graceful and it will seems easy and effortless. You will be able to tell a dramatic story without any talking or singing.

After learning it for 12 years, taking the 10th examination, I finally completed all my graded examinations. For the latest examination, I was awarded a merit. Now, it mark a new starting point. The steps and movements are getting much more demaning than I was expected back then. I will really sweat and feel the muscles really stretched and locked tightly together.

I don't know is it still as enjoyable as before or is it coming to became a stress, a buden to me. Should I really sit down and reflect? Is it I really didn't put enough effort? I am wondering. What should I do for the upcoming major examinations? Last night was the second time I cried for ballet. The first was when i'm still in grade1, doing a dance. I just couldn't get it right and was asked to stayed back. I felt I was lousy and cried instantly. This level of stress is weighing me down, is coming back.

Just like any other dancers, it is the passion that keep us going even though there is much pain and perfection requested. It is real painful but JIA YOU! My girls too, JIA YOU!
