Learning ballet is wonderful for children even if they never become dancers. It is wonderful because it teaches discipline, grace, and manners.

I often admire those who're actively involved in outside school activities, like learning piano, dance, art, music, etc. It makes me a little jealoused because aside for studies, these people have something they're good at, they have talent.

Talent -always remind me of the times I learnt ballet, back in primary school. Not so much because I was exceptionally good at it, but just, something that I genuinely loved doing. I remember how excited I was receiving my first ballet shoes, sniffing at it cos it smelt funny in a nice way. I remember loving the smell of the studio- it smelt like ballet shoes. I remember pointing my toes so hard my calf hurt, I remember losing patience practicing at the barre cos I hated all the warming up stuff. But most importantly, I remember the sense of achievement and joy I had then. I miss such times.

Moving on....

I've always wanted to be something more. I think I've mentioned to some before, that I often wished I'm an artist, musician or just someone with talent. I'd get up and leave, go wander around the world, doing things I'm good at and most importantly, passionate about. Sounds so dreamlike, and yes, I think I've watched too much TV and read too many books. I just can't stand life like this. I really wanna lead a carefree life! But back to reality, I'm not talented in any field so..... happy dreaming me.
