I LOVE YOU!!!! You are amazing darling and I love your new blog layout. Its’ clarity and simplicity really reflects the beautiful, calm and dignified person you are becoming. ( But you’ve always been very beautiful. Now you’re just truly making beauty your own )
I love you so much that it pains me that you’re so far away! Will come to London to visit you. And I love that quote fr Levi you just shared. Am using it for a blog post now!!! 🙂

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if I was going to go this super minimalist direction but I guess it will do for now 🙂 We will definitely meet some day don’t worry! I’m going back for Xmas. If you’re going back you could probably meet Tyas too 🙂
Aww Babe. Thank you for thinking of me and sharing this on Twitter and all the what not. I wish I had answers for you, I wish I had some semblance of hope for myself to succeed in this field. I think I will go home this Xmas and stop by London and maybe fly back to Malaysia with you so we can have a long ass chat. What do you think???
you sound like me, love. I just quit both my jobs recently and I’m a bit financially constraint at the moment too. It’s okay to reach the low points, life is somewhat of a sine wave isn’t it? I’m sure you’ll be coming up and about again. You’re doing so well, just think about it. You have so much going on for you and I can’t wait to catch up with you when I come visit!!!! *major hint…
AGREED !!!! I go to my other classes and I’m so bored, unstimulated, just ‘existing’, not even ‘breathing’. The moment I step into dance class, I immediately start working on being more present, on channeling energy to others. Movement is such a visceral experience too and we are so lucky to be inspired by such beautiful bodies everyday.
I say dance, and work for dance. Because the visceral returns and immense self satisfaction are far greater than the momentary returns any high paying economist could get. Movement = Life !!!
In all honesty I failed myself for having a result by not even going through process. I am not close to how well you are doing though, Steph! And what is that MAJOR hint about!? When are you coming!???! I just moved and have a bed enough for two! ;)) Thanks for encouragement!
I went to a jazz dance open class Thursday evening. Only 6 of us but all at a fairly good standard so it was like back to Celestar where people are keen to learn in class. The teacher said, “Dance for your soul, don’t dance for me! You look blank in the face – where are your expressions? (how familiar is that?) Tell a story with your dancing!”
We dancers, and artists and choreographers, know what are the things that touch our soul and make us human.
ai yoh la alexa…suddenly so sappy 🙂 thank you for sharing this beautiful song nevertheless. ” The soul afraid of dying that had never learnt to live” – that line really struck a chord in me. I love your love story with Tyas, I’m sure upon reflection, this love story is especially poignant after all you’ve been through.
1) Agreed. Gyms are awful. I go though sometimes when I feel like bashing myself up.
2) KAZUO ISHIGURO IS GENIUS !!! I’ve cried through that book dozens of times
3) I’ll send you some good stuff on that. Check out slideshare.net for quick learning on corporate/non profit SM
4) You made my day 🙂
I don’t know what theories the power plate company itself uses to market the product, but I feel it’s because if you do exercises that require stablisation, it takes more work to do those exercises ie burn more calories.
Not like sauna where you just sweat… No such thing as free calories loss!
I ask the same thing of myself all the time. I ask myself…why am I working so hard for such few moments of glory and even fewer moments of clarity and inspiration? But every time I watch a performance, I’m reminded of how powerful and transforming art is. Every time I dance and pause after, I’m reminded of how blessed I am to be able to move and create art with my body in the precious few moments I have. We’re so blessed to be artists and dancers because we know how truth, love, and compassion really feels like. Art is effective, transformative, and essential for our collective sanity.Â
We try to hold on to those values where we can see ‘physical’ evidence (aka with some history) but often neglect the greater/more important value known as ‘the now’. We are all still learning 🙂
In reality and practices I don’t care about labels, but when it comes advocacy and standing our ground, we can’t just pluck out statements that we think refer to us but we are not even minutely close to it. I won’t disagree when people say that artists (or dance, or theatre industry) are inward looking, ignorant and self-obsessed.

indeed. history cannot be erased, even if time make us forget them. it’s sad but it has to be accepted.

Love kazuooo!! Read ‘nocturne’ and loved it. Tracey Emins… Planning to go southbank to see her stuff soon 🙂
The Southbank exhibition was the only reason I picked up that book. It is not that easy to read though.
 good luck!!! thumbs up
Thank you dear.
does it really shake the fat out? what is the science in that?

hmmmm no credit for tim… ;(

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you ever regret 🙂
Nope. My life revolves around art, be in watching a movie, dissecting a painting, feeling fresh air in a run…Art is life, life is art.Â
I ask the same thing of myself all the time. I ask myself…why am I working so hard for such few moments of glory and even fewer moments of clarity and inspiration?

I’m more afraid of not having creativity.
I want to read! Just because it’s password protected? And why is that not our anniversary? I am saddened…

You actually mean you want to marry a rich guy right? Hahhaah
We try to hold on to those values where we can see ‘physical’ evidence (aka with some history) but often neglect the greater/more important value known as ‘the now’. We are all still learning 🙂
The word ‘creative’ is such a vague term tbh. We never use it in the same way as others do.
In reality and practices I don’t care about labels, but when it comes advocacy and standing our ground, we can’t just pluck out statements that we think refer to us but we are not even minutely close to it. I won’t disagree when people say that artists (or dance, or theatre industry) are inward looking, ignorant and self-obsessed.
