This is it, the very last lesson for the Grade 13 in NAFA.
Hmm, where do i begin?
(This post is mainly gonna be about my times in NAFA, gna be pretty lengthy. You can not read it you want to. (: )
NAFA has always been a part of my life.
I remembered how 邹老师 brought me in.
It was during Primary 1 in FMPS, oh gosh I was soooo blur then.
I think it was a dance audition, and I got in cuz I was quite flexible then.
And yeah, after one or two lessons 邹老师 told me to go her some 南洋艺术学院.
I did.
It was 30th January.
Through my times in NAFA, I've had some ups and downs.
I remember when I was around 9 years old I hated to go dance practices!
I would scream and kick and cry at home (yes immature i know) cuz i was really cranky!!
Gradually as time goes by, the tantrums reduced and it became more of a routine for me to go to NAFA every Sunday morning.
NAFA became more than just a place for me to dance.
It was like my second home.
The most memorable times were the classes for 心韵 on Friday nights of 2010.
Me, Litong, Xuejing & Pinxin had to rush down all the way after our dance with NHDS to attend 1h of practice.
It was
worth it. Idk how to put it but, the moment I knew i was in the NAFA campus i don't feel sad.
Dance was always there.
Through NAFA, I've met an amazing group of girls who i know i could always count on.
Always got my back.
I know I can always talk nonsense with them and being with them just makes my day.
They've been with me, through my sorrow and joy.
They are the reason why I stood strong when things, esp in NH, fail me.
I know I can always rant to them and they will always make me laugh by making silly remarks.
I love them, so much.
& of course, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for 邹老师.
She's amazing.
Under her guidance, I've learnt so much.
Honestly, without her I wouldn't have even gotten into Nanhua.
She never gave up on me, I'm really thankful.
She's always so strong, so cheerful.
I love how she always digress and talk to us about her life stories and her views on tv shows and all, it's funny and then she'll always go “哎哟，说了那么多。反面！” and we'll have to continue the dance.
She's been really supportive of me.
I'm not a good dancer, yet she's always giving me opportunities to shine in her dances.
She made me feel so confident, so proud of who I am because she believed in me.
She's always teaching us new things, the dances from her training times and they were all so pretty.
She often told us to learn as much as we can because it's all for the benefit of our knowledge.
I. Ah i'm crying rn I can't really process what i wna type.
I love 邹老师, she's been with me for 10 years now and I can't believe this is my last lesson with her.
Thank you 邹老师, for all your love and guidance.
For all your faith and trust in me,
for making me who i am today,
for your love for Chinese Dance that has ignited a passion within me,
for sharing life's little joys and experiences,
for helping me to find a way to be happy when i was sad,
for everything, that you've done for all of us.
邹老师, 谢谢你。
I'll never forget my amazing journey in NAFA.

Posting this is making me cry.
It's also making me realise how blessed I am.
I mean, I have a complete, loving family who's always so supportive of me.
NHDS ; the one place you know your brothers and sisters are always there, and you'll never be alone.
410 ; most crazy, weird, awkward class ever. but that is why i love them.
NH school mates ; people who are like the stars in my sky, can't see them, but they are always there.
FMPS babes ; girls who love me no matter what, even if i haven't met up with them in eons, they never fail to call me to every single meet up they have.
And whoever reading this, thank you for being part of my life, one way or another.
I'm so thankful.
:')
