Dear guys
I’ve experienced a lot throughout this Genting trip. I realized some things/facts.
I never have had such great commitment to NVMD before. To admit, I don’t really have 100% passion towards dance too. Initially, I only take dance as an interest. In the past as a junior, I’d feel tired to come for dance practice. It’s up till now, only when I realized time has passed and I’m stepping down, I started treasuring the times I’ve spent during dance practices with Ms Zu, the seniors and you guys, the juniors.
After coming back from Genting, I couldn’t stop thinking about those fantastic experiences gained over there. There’s a moment when I was thinking seriously, should I take the path to become a dancer in the future? I guessed; is my passion for dance starting to burn from now on? Actually I don’t really have an idea too.
Now, let’s come back to the focus of those internal conflicts happening in NVMD. I do understand that you guys are probably still feeling uncomfortable to hang out and talk to people who are not of your race. But this problem is getting serious. NVMD has taught me to become a person that is not racist. I’m very glad about this. Initially I’m so amazed by the seniors being able to become very great buddies with one another. They have learnt to go over their boundaries and make friends with the other races. That’s when I also tried to portray their hearts and thinking. The juniors are very obvious in only hanging around with people of your race. I can always see you guys getting around into small groups of Chinese and Malays. I don’t wish to see that. Please be like the seniors, go over your boundaries and pep around with any other one from NVMD.
As a team, being bonded well is very important. But I don’t feel so among the juniors. You guys are only bonded, for e.g. only during a performance/competition. Like what Ms Zu had said, she wouldn’t feel happy getting Gold with Honors, what if her dancers were not bonded as ONE? I agree with her. It sounded logically.
I really couldn’t stand it. I actually don’t wish to say this, but afterall I think I should. You guys the juniors, are thinking, acting and behaving very selfishly and like a kid. You all are lacking of SELF-DISCIPLINE and I could not tolerate this. I have many examples. After using the NVMD room or a place where we had dance session, the place is always dirty and you guys don’t give a damn to clean it. This is a super duper irresponsible act. I see litters all around. You guys don’t even bother to throw away used tissue papers or empty bottles, even if it’s yours.
We all know that you guys were giving a hard time to our costume manager, Indah, during the trip. Please do not always leave things hard and tiring for her. I mind you, this isn’t a simple job!
Please juniors, don’t be so selfish, and do help one another out. I don’t really have any ideas how you guys are gonna be bonded and how long will it take. I’m going to leave you guys to solve the problems. The conflicts should and MUST come to an end as fast as possible, by hook or by crook.
And please do not keep giving Ms Zu any troubles. After the trip I’m very glad that I’ve known Ms Zu in my life. She’s a great teacher that has really earned my greatest respect. People who do not know her will not respect her (I was one of them in the past). You guys should feel honorable that Ms Zu is our MD teacher, who has given all her heart and passion for us. It does hurt my heart when I saw you guys abusing her love and trust towards you. Please stop this. One day you will come to feel the same like me. I bet you, if not you’re absolutely one heartless brat.
I know I’ve written a lot, but those words are not craps. They came from the bottom of my heart. Juniors please read this and reflect about you. Please wake up!!
Love you all, from Celeste(Btw, I've also gained my respect for the flippers. Just to tell you juniors, even though the flippers only joined MD for a few months, they knew how to cooperate well and better than you guys!!)
_______ life is our stage.
