Shanghai Concert (6th Aug 2006)
First time I saw my students perform live on stage! A very different feeling as compared to when I was the one cheorographing. I feel like a parent watching my kids dance and I'm so proud of them.
I appeared at the VT backstage after JE classes and everyone was so overjoyed to see me. I saw all my students and Mindy! So overjoyed that I can take pictures with them all.
I enjoyed the show but felt that Singaporean students have a lot to learn from students in China.

Major decision
I spend close to 4 years in auditing and ballet teaching. Had a good taste of the corporate world. Learnt a lot of things but I feel like moving closer to the world of ballet and develope my expertise in this field for long term. But haven't decided on a date to move on yet.
More classes are definitely in the cards. More classes would mean more coaching classes and it has come to a point when I do not have anymore weekday evening slots! I only have Thursday nights free now, which is totally crazy. Most probably will be sending exam gals in March 2007 to ease out the crampness for Nov 2007 exam.

Evaluating ballet career
Singapore ballet market is getting more and more saturated. My goodness. Look at the number of major gals produced by Ms Lee. They are all up and coming teachers who are going to dominate. We are kind of losing bargaining power. Gosh.
I wonder if KL market is that saturated. I hope I'm one of the pioneers and they seriously lack teachers over there. So excited at the thought of it. Urgently needs the TC to accomplish that.
Think 2007 will be a major turning point in my life as it has been safe and stagnant for a while. Its time I get out of the comfort zone and move on. I must be brave and take the first step. Otherwise I will never know how is it like to be a full time ballet teacher.
