Guys and girls, this is it.
This will be the day that decides my next two years.
It's not choosing subject combi, (Meh screw that heh.)
It's STREET DANCE AUDITIONS.
As far as I know, I'm PROBABLY going to get in, but i'm nervous as heck.
Mike's gonna play the cool dude role, and since he does it so well no point competing. I'm going to play the smiley interacter role, then hopefully be able to wow the judges.
I really want to get in. I just don't see myself juggling two clubs only, or even in something like Archery or Recre Badminton. Just not my style.
--
I'm pretty optimistic now though, a couple of my questions were answered in my dream, and I hope that my subconscious is really better at guessing the future. (:

Dream Journal #4
-----
Dream 1:
Had a dream about breakdance. I think it was after the auditions. It was, somehow, nighttime, probably 7-8ish? Me and mike were at the crossroads at J8. There were of course other people there waiting for the light. Somehow i decided to break at my traffic light. I think mike did too. I remember having this incredible routine, but on hindsight I realised that whatever i did in my dream, the steps, the moves, the freezes, are all what I can normally do already, just smoother, better.
Then the light turned green and i walked across.
I was wearing my white shoes in the dream, and I take it to be a good sign that i SHOULD wear them for the auditions. It's a hard choice, knowing that I've never danced in them before, but I'm going to use them.
Dream 2:
Seems to happen on the same day. I remember wearing my dance pants. And possibly a green shirt. The ORA one? I'll consider wearing it later.
Anyway, I was walking home, on an overhead bridge. It reminded me of the old overhead bridge that was dismantled in facour of the new one, at the RJC carpark side. There were still trees there in my dream.
Anyway, I heard Mrs Lim... (Wtf right?) at the base of the overhead bridge, i think she was scolding someone in her distinctive way. I can' t imagine who though, seeing that it was, too, at night, and this time it was really pretty dark already.
I was pretty apprehensive at first, but I met her heading up the stairs just as i was going down. We chatted a bit, and I immediately felt at ease as I started talking to her. She wished me good luck and went off.
Does this have anything to do with how my fears are unfounded?
I hope that just like the dream, I'm just worrying about something that isn't actually very scary. I hope that just like the dream, my fears will vanish when it's time to face them. (:
-----------
GOOD LUCK TO ME, GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING FOR STREET! LISHAN, SITI, MIKE, MANFRED, VINCENT, I CANT REMEMBER WHO ELSE, BUT GO GO GO!

Oh and Stitch is online after ages of not being online. It's definitely a good sign seeing a breakdancer, and an Idol, online. Shall ask the master-cool-guy to wish me luck. (:

Well, it's a good thing that us Scorpios can enjoy solitude.
Thank god for happy songs on my Ipod. (:
---
Hmm, day was pretty okay I guess. Went to library in the afternoon, wanted to borrow any of the books recommended for GP, but all of them were horrendously rare. All far away in places like Choa Chu kang and crap.
Found a couple of books that seemed decent, but just as I was going to borrow them I realised they were reference material. Decided to stay in library and make some notes from those. Only managed to write down some examples regarding language as a medium of the America vs terrorism conflict. Then had to leave, was running late.
So instead I got some other books that well, I wasn't sure how they would help my GP. But they look like they can make me smarter, so yay.
I've been quite happy nowadays, cause guitar's improving, and there's free time at school to break, plus there's now more breakers to practice with. (:

Dream Journal #2 was almost exclusively about bee, so don't think i should post.
---Dream Journal #3--
Quite a choppy dream.
Dream 1: I woke up mutiple times at night. Was talking to my father. he asked something about school, message him or talk if anything is wrong.
Dream 2: Another dream, we were riding a train, a real steam train, with first class carriages, on a holiday. There were sparkling lakes, rolling green hills and sparse dots of trees in the horizon. It picked up speed, and rushed through the hills, the scenery zipping by faster and faster, and finally it derailed at a sharp curve that bent away from a large lake. The train flew over the water with sheer intertia, and a great black brick wall, stretching as far as the eye can see, loomed up at the edge of the river on the other side. The track would have entered within the wall though a hold dug specially for the train. But we were derailed, so we flew straight, head-on into solid wall.
The front of the train crumpled into the wall, but luckly that i was at the back. The back of the train, in the water, was sinking, so i climbed out, and went to a point further up front of the train, and climbed in. Fumbled abit with the luggage section, opened it by mistake. (i'm thinking of luggage section like those on coaches.)
There was another tour group there. I told them not to worry, this type of shit happened all the time. In fact, last time i came here, we smacked into the wall less than a hundred meters away.
Somehow, the train went back on the track. The driver/conductor was abit pekchek at me, cause the luggage compartment was open, but he continued driving anyway.
Next thing i know, i'm going up some stairs to eat a "bamboo rice" meal.
Dream 3: I have a dog. I spotted $1 chewing gum for dogs at a pet shop. Bought it. I didn't have dog food too, so I wanted to buy. But i couldn't afford it. I was quite sad, because I knew i wouldn't be able to return to that shop to buy.
Dream 4: I was looking for hip-hop based clothes to go with a blue/white cap. Yaknow, those trucker caps that hiphop people wear?
----------------------------
What does these all mean? i don't know yet. But abit busy to find out now.
Will be guitaring and dancing tomorrow! wheeeee. :D

But anyway, i'm lazy to upload more pics, so here's a "Before" pic!

Some of my friends are not sure what "undercut" is, when i told them about my hair. I THINK the term is undercut?
So today after breaking took a picute. See the back of the hair? The neck there. Not very clear here, sorry. After breaking, hair's a pretty big mess haha.
Yepp.
Actually, i just wanted to post more than one picture. After all the trouble, might as well upload two. heh.
Had a dream today, I just remembered now. I wasn't trying to have dreams, in fact, i was trying to go for a dreamless night. Was quite pekchek yesterday lah.

Okay, some short tips about how to recall dreams.
It's basically formed upon self-affirmation, you have to keep telling yourself that you CAN recall your dreams, you will accept and welcome any emotions along with your dreams, you will dream, and remember your dreams, now and throughout the day... stuff like that.
There's a Tibetian method, which is to concentrate your desire for dream recall and visualise it as a glowing blue ball at the back of your throat. Hold this visualisation till you sleep. Quite interesting, cause it's the area of the brain stem that's in charge of dream activation. Maybe the psychological visualisation helps to trigger vivid dreams.
There's two water methods, first the "third eye" method, which is to dip two fingers in water, first touch your throat, then rub the area in the centre of your forehead, just above the point between your brows.
Another method is to drink half a glass of water, while telling yourself positive affirmation. Then when you wake up and can't rmemeber any dreams, drink the second half of the water.
Oh, and keep a dream journal. We forget dreams easilly. Just put a notebook at your bedside, along with a small light, if you don't have enough light when you wake up.
------------------
Spent the day swimming, then later at night found out that my shoulder was busted, again. Ouch. Dunno why leh! like abit, frozen, liddat. I went to paste that Chinese smelling patch. Heh.
But i still was practicing popping. haha. Couldn't wave, not with my right hand anyway. Damn shoulder. D:
Yeah, i was reminded of a few new year's resolutions i forgot about making, which are more dance related, like getting moonwalk and related glide motions correct, as well as popping and waves. But since it's not "new year" already, they won't be part of my resolutions. Just reminders to practice them often.
Saw some accident on the way to Angie's house. Well, near there, anyway. Yuwei's house actually. Quite serious. I think, 3 cars?
My chinese "koyok"thingum. Sorry for the face, been a long day heh.
 Saw this couple walking! just seems kinda sweeet.
10:45 PM
My Dream Journal!
I started a dream journal yesterday. Using some self-suggestion and water techniques i learnt from a library book, i started to try and induce dream recall, (ability to remember dreams better, apparently on average a person has 3 or 4 dreams a day, just that we can't remember them when we wake up.) And also the ability for lucid dreaming, which is to realise that you're dreaming, and consciously control yourself and the surroundings, while still in the dream.
Why? Cause it's hella fun, plain sleeping is just boring. Why not act in your very own movie, (or at least watch one) while you sleep? Not like you're going to be less awake in the morning, you were sleeping when you had your dreams anyway. Heh.
Lucid dreaming is difficult, i was constantly waking up in the night because the moment i had any consciousness of dreaming, I woke up.
Dream recall's slightly easier, though for me it's still in fragments. Good for the first day, though.

Dream Journal #1 (As it appears in my journal entry, with addition of some background information and heavy spell-checking.)
-----
Date: 5th Jan 2010.
--Dream 1--
I have not bathed yet. Tzx (A NUS guy that was with us in the China tour.) is the son of a deceased rapper, and the brother of Erin, the real daughter of the deceased rapper whom i saw on a TV show the day before. He is showing us around his house. His house is very large, and he is speaking well. He wears some kind of red square at his neck, the rest of his clothes are black and formal. My parents comment that he is very polite.
I attempt to introduce my house too. I am wearing black skinny jeans with the bottoms folded up to midshin. A standing light near my kitchen is on, and it has a nice orange glow. A pair of brown pants i have is hung there. ._.
--Dream 2--
A 2D sidescrolling view. There is a high platform to jump onto. I am with three friends, 2 guys and a girl in a long orange sarong..?!? I stack them up in a prymaid, with the girl standing on the heads of the two guys. The sarong is long enough to cover both of them. I then somersault over them and onto the platform....
--Dream 3--
"I am.. Sun Wu Kong?" I recall some fighting earlier, but the memory is faint. Whatever it is, I went to a mountain to find some monks, or something. To train. There was a lot of ladders. I'm climbing a ladder up a recess in a vertical face of a forest-mountain. Plants are everywhere, vines are on the ladders. The monks are way ahead of me, and progressing without a sign. When i climb. i shake loose dead leaves and many other plants from the ladders. There are totally horizontal ladders as well, i have to climb them like monkey bars.
One of the ladders turns out not to have rungs. It is actually a mesh strip. Like wire gauze. I do not have a proper grip on that one, and i slip down. I land on a grassy area and there seems to be a house there, well lighted up.
Somehow I find myself in my kitchen, with the layout of my house. There is a microwave, set for 10 minutes. It is the monk's lunch. I somehow know that I have to find the monk before the 10 minutes is up. Before me, on the kitchen counter, is a variety of stuff, including lime concentrate, "sodium sulphate" in a bottle, and a Sprite bottle which seems to be filled with water. There was someone with me, I can't remember who.
First, we made a lime drink with water and concentrate, and then we poured the "sodium sulphate" into the sprite bottle. both were full 1.5 litre bottles, but after I combined them there was only slightly more than half a bottle left.
Then I made potato salad (?!?!) and brought it to my/my sister's room. She was there on her computer. I gave her the potato salad. I made a joke about how the "other groups" must have stuffed her with potato salad as well. It seems that other groups were also doing this task. It gave me a very "Amazing Race" vibe.
When i went back to the kitchen, my partner was sloshing the "sodium suplhate sprite water thing" in the toilet near my kitchen. the light was flickering there. A lot of little flying bugs were there, almost in clouds in the toilet. I remember thinking how ammonium would dry up the bugs. I was looking for salt earlier, but I couldn't find salt.
Then, there was a pair of white latex gloves that were very stiff. I put the gloves in the lime water and they softened. The monk then appeared, wearing the gloves. He tells me that I was not the fastest group to complete the task, but considering that I spent the first 6 minutes doing nothing, it was pretty commendable.

Watched Avatart twice, once in 2d with Shaun and Shude and Junxiang, and once with 3d with my mum and sis. Bumped into Nelson at Bugis.
And, there's this overseas number that's been calling me for ages.
MRS +919750410***.
Skxawng! You do not learn. You are like a baby! Childish and ignorant.
---
HAHA. Avatar's reaaallly getting to me.
Anyway, this person with the 12-digit number's been calling me over the past couple of days. First day she called about, more than 10, second day about five times, and i'm seeing how many times today.
I pick up, she sounds so surprised that I say hello. Like, she'll go hello? back. And then i say again. Then she'll go hello back again, and then put down. Three times, each in english, chinese, I attempeted japanese, and then english in a hopefully Western accent.
From now on though, i'm not going to reject the calls.
I'm going to start answering the phone with a variety of different ways.
With the help of Russell Peters, (YOUTUBE HIM NOWWW! ) I already thought of..
A war cry, (Like, LALALALALALA!)
Na'vi. (See below.)
Sexy bollywood actor. (Hey, talk to me *in a deep and smoky voice*)
Chinese speaking english. (Heyyt! Whuuuareyu!")
Beatbox.
----
If I still continue getting calls, i'm going to have to learn British English, Hispanic, Darth Vader, and Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
---
Na'vi phrases! Now if only i know how to pronunce them.
Oel ngati kameie ( I see you)
Kaltxì. Ngaru lu fpom srak? ("Hello, how are you?")
Mipa zìsìt lefpom ngaru! ("Happy New Year!")
Tsun oe ngahu nìNa’vi pivängkxo a fì’u oeru pllte’ lu. ( "It’s a pleasure to be able to chat with you in Na’vi." )
Kìyevame ulte Eywa ngahu. (See you again, and may Eywa be with you. )
------------------
HAHA,a few sites that's pretty interesting.
