DANCERS! IMPORTANT QUOTE FROM KHOON HUI:
Dear fellow dancers,I don't care if you and I are close.I don't care if I deserve your respect.Listen to me.Call this a morale booster.Call this a crazy speech from a crazy someone.I don't care.Just listen to me.We don't have much time left. We are all, like Sam said, running on a marathon. Yes, of course on the marathon, we slacked and we fooled around. But we are closing the finishing line. We are left with a few hundred metres that's all. We have to finish it at all cost, why not stand by each other and run through it together, pushing each and one of us towards the finishing line?I know. All of us are tired. All of us are sick of dancing everyday. All of us are dancing for the sake of pushing through that particular day. I know that all of us are tired. Physically and mentally. Some might be even on the edge of breaking down. I know and I do feel the same as what all of you are feeling. It's tiring and even stressful for us Sec 4s who tried as hard in coping with our studies together with SYF practices. But since all of us are brave enough to face all rain and torments through the practices till now, why not face it all together as one individual? Yes, perhaps we are not as inclined in our dance as others schools like Nanyang or River Valley. But as Sam had said, what really governed our success is our fighting spirit. The spirit that we showcased to the others. The spirit that we cultivated from decades way before us. What really make us or break us is the spirit we have as one. Sure, to the others schools, it might be nothing. But it's really what sets us very much apart from the other schools.Seniors are a nag. Graduates are here to gloat over us. No doubt that's what many of you people felt. Seniors are no doubt a nag. But they never nag for the sake of nagging. The nag because they want to help us. This goes the same to the graduates. The graduates came back for us. Why do they come back when they could easily spend and enjoy their holidays at home? Because they care. Do you really think we can really do well ourselves without their help? That is a particularly unlikely situation. Sure, our movement might be perfect. But without their emphasis on spirit and feelings, do you truly think that our morale yesterday and today would rise up to our new climax? Do you truly think that you would still be able to feel for that particular dance? Thus, credits go out to the graduates and the seniors is a must.The Enchanted Bamboo Grove is a beautiful dance. At least, it's suppose to be one. Though my first impression of that dance totally disappointed me, it had proved me wrong for the first time today. The atmosphere & the feelings, it was great. It was amazing. Everyone had allowed their hardworking side and inner beast to be arisen. The voice articulated was clear and loud. For the first time, it had climaxed. We all felt very happy for all of you no doubt. The morale was high. This really sparked off many parts of encouragement that followed later in which I've noticed.The modern dance had come back again from their recent down-turned. The feeling is back in everybody. Although, there are still slackers around, I have no doubt that we are going to turn out just fine. The spirit that was once gone had risen up again to take over the whole of us. That's a good sign!In conclusion, I would ask and plead for all of you to not be overly conplacent. The spirit is back in all of you. Let's maintain at it. Let's enjoy the process of SYF items in the making every dance practice. The most fundamental way of loving your dance is to allow yourself to be immerse in it. Feel for the dance. Submerged oneself into the feeling of your dance. Put in effort. You would slowly enjoy your item. Enjoy it, do well in SYF and then leave with wonderful memories at the end of it, especially for the sec 4s, all of us are leaving soon. Instead of tying down to old memories of Innovative Class and NEWater, why not let this memory of SYF preparation sink into all of you?Dancers, Let's us stand by each other hand in hand and run the last of the marathon together! We will get there
