Having MBS lesson now. Damn dry....boring...might as well use the time to blog about yesterday's happenning.
LOADS of thing happened yesterday. And i wonder if it's a blessing.
Went for Danny's locking class. And quite a fruitful one because he talked to me about my weakness again. Kind of understand the technique better.
Alrite, share with you guys. Learning point of the day for dance:
1) Always do moves small at first to get the feel of it, understand which muscles to use, because sometimes when we start with a big movement, we might use extra muscle, causing the move to look awkward. It improves in accuracy and execution of moves.
2) Strob first, and don't hit on the beat first. Train on relaxing body muscles.
3) When doing popping, there's upbeat involved. making it look more groovy and less stiff.
Yeah, will definitely train on those. Work hard. Soon will be a dope dancer one day =D
-------------------------------------------
And after class went session with FlairNation, along with Gary, Jonas n Harris. Yeah! Fun to the max. I really love sessioning with them. Don't know why, maybe is their passion and attitude towards dance? They are all very nice peepz. And somehow, i could feel the family aura of the team, closer than anyone. It might be somewhere where i can put my soul into if i open up enough.
Can't wait for the Audition to come. Let's hope i can get into FN. =)
------------------------------------------
May offered me a performance opportunity for Business School, which is the Business AGM 2008.Ii don't know if i should take it at first, because of what happened previously. Those who involved should get what i mean. But in the end i still accepted the offer anyway. Haa. Well, i don't know. Part of me just want to make it happen. =) And there's nothing to fear, if i got dancemates like them with me. Those that i really trust and can depend on.
Let's see who's with me? I got myself, baby, Jonas, Harris, Lav, Pearl, joel, RB, Kevin and May.
My first time choreo-ing for such major event. So, let's work hard together alrite? if i missed out any details, PLEASE tell me ok!? hahaas. Im damn blur sometimes.
hoo. LET"S DO THIS! -----------------------------------
And last thing. Jae from Music Garage was discussing with me with a music project hes doing. And in fact, he is aiming to establish a boyband for Music Garage. he asked me if im interested to be part of the boyband project.He said that he saw my passion n attitude towards dance, which to him, a rightful candidate for it. They will provide free vocal class, harmony, beatbox , dance class to gloom me into one.
WOW IT'S lIKE A DREAM COMES TRUE TO ME. I always have this silly dream of me wanting to start a boyband, to sing and dance, just like DBSK. But now, the opportunity just decent to me like a falling star.
i don't know if i should go for it. =( This boyband thing not gonna be easy if i really choose to walk the path. How can i juggle so much committment at the same time. The current ones already killing me. But i will give him a reply soon. Well, perhaps after Dream Concert, i will give him my decision.
TO BE HONEST, I WANT IT VERY MUCH. How many people can be so fortunate like me to get this kind of offer. =((
Sigh...hope god grant me 48 hours a day. Then i can have everything in the world with me all the time.
Some time for her...some time for dance....some time for vocal....some time for school...sometime for everything i want.
Because i don't want to have a life full of regrets.

Been at home sleeping for the past 24 hours. Don't ask me how i actually do that. LOL. I just feel damn sleepy and sick, woke up once every few hours, and then took a few rolls and doze off back into my dreams again. Im sure you guys got that kind of day too once in awhile no? =D
Never go for dance training today. And i did woke up at ard 8am to prepare for it. But decided not to when im bathing. I can't even stand still for a shower. I seriously need the rest. I am too exhausted from everything.
Really Sorry to those who worried for me because im like MIA today! hahas. Thought i emo over what happened yesterday right? Nah. =) That' nothing. I mean, it means something, but the hurt is nothing itself as long as i take it positively. Don't know how, but i definitely will work on it, till it's presentable =D --------------------------------------------
Firstly, Happy Birthday to Samuel!! Sweet 18 yo! =D Wish ya a great year ahead bro!! We owe each other a kbox session!! =P SOON ok? Really soon. After Dream Concert, i will definitely get the class for a Kbox session. Aite? Heh
----------------------------------------------
And then, i have to apologise to some juniors. I tried my best to help, but it seems like things doesn't work out like how we expected it to be? With all the risks and obstacles ahead, i don't think it's a good idea to just force our way through this. Sorry. At the very least, i won't do it if i were in your position. Yet, there's one thing i really admire you. It's your perseverance to reach for what you want. =) Don't know if you guys will dropby here. But i really wish you guys all the best for the show.
And biggest thank to everyone who work so hard for this few days. Im sure everyone learnt something out of it and it's not totally fruitless ya? And FlairNation, you guys rock. Without you guys coming all the way down and guide us, we might just cui away. Thanks Fadz, Luqman, Azmi and Datou Mervin!
It's been great sessioning with you guys.
Continue spreading the love for dance people. Dancers rawk. ------------------------------------------------
Baby baby, my poor little baby. =)Know it's been hard on you this days when all the miseries just came crashing one after another. But seems like things starting to get better for you finally. So no worries alrite? Just chill and stay positive. I want to see you smile again, just like how you smile when....erm....i don't know! Just like how u normally were when i play with you. All the childish and act-cute moment.
Now the time's 5:13 am. Just finished talking to Jonas on the phone not long ago. And i couldn't sleep. Look how messy is my life now. Don't even have a regular sleeping time. BAD SIGN. Im getting everything out of control.
Can't be stucked like this for too long. Got to find back the balance.
A more controlled, more prioritized, more healthy lifestyle.

Got a one-to-one lesson from Danny today.
It's damn good cos he taught me according to my weaknesses. And it feels as if im going to the next level very soon.
I see it coming. I really do.
Give me abit more time. Im getting there.
Things i got to train on for popping : 1) Relax all my body muscle when im not hitting ( No problem, just need to pract) 2) Alignment n variation for hitting( Yeah more youtubing) 3) Always on beat ( I can do it!) 4) Don't use extra muscle ( Understand my body more?) 5) Muscle are relax instead of flexing when doing waving ( that's easy) 6) When strobing, need to keep in mind it is a continious motion, not supposed to make it look too pausy ( This is hard, not easy to control, but i'll try) 7) Strobing is a relax motion 8) Make my popping angle more rounded instead of squarishy
Things i got to train on for locking : 1) Wrist twirls! First half of the motion use biceps to pull up, and then the twirling motion is only the wrist doing the job. 2) More groove 3) Again,relax motion, don't use excessive strength or muscle
And he taught me about the 'Rock steady move' taught by AnAn. It's not Rock steady, but it supposed to feel like one. So yep, body supposed to be in relax motion and strength were mostly on the butt and body. Groovy is the main aim rather than sharpness.
Between, just a side-note, my locking is worst than my popping. But seems like at my level of locking, i don't have much to change cos' i don't even know the moves yet! LOL.
Yeah. Guess that's more or less what i learnt during this 1hour duration. DOPE. It's a DRASTIC change from my old style of popping. But it's ok!! People changes for the better. I just have to take a few steps back, and do it all over again. =))
------------------------------------------------
Before i hug my pillows to sleep. I would love to say, i love my baby much. ;)
Good night all.
AND! I pick up a new popping component. It's tutting. Heh heh. Things getting interesting now.

It's been awhile ever since i hang out with non-dancer friends.
-------------------------------
This morning, woke up early for MBS project. Thought im late enough to be punched, but ended up the second to reach. LOL. Ken was late for almost 2 hours! And hes the one who set the time for the meeting. idiot! We should had make him treat us lunch or something. DAMN. ;P
And Teresa was like keep scolding the boys for slacking around too much. but what can we do!? LOL. There's only 1 computer and only one person can enter data at the same time. The work's kind of the 'step-by-step' kind somemore, straight-forward. Hehheh. But we shall be the one doing all the data-entry next time. Alrity? =)
------------------------------------
After project, went for dance training at 4pm. Whhoo. Rahim came out with this Backstreet boys routine. Couldn't be any more dope! It's really the kind of dance to be enjoyed by the dancers and totally fit with the theme, FINALE. it was dope. I never get this satisfaction from dancing for quite sometime.
Danny was sick though. Guess too much drilling from NS for him. tsktsk. Get well soon, shifu.
But that gives me time, to hang out with my Week-zero camp-mates!!
-----------------------------------------
All the way to E-hub downtown east, and it was my FIRST outing out of the 'don't know how many' outing of the Business SL gathering.
Half of them were gone by then. Only left with JessyBessy, Johan, Alvin, Janice and Shihui! But it was still fun! All the enthuBSC peeps. Long live to CAESION man. =)
And sad lorhx, Jan and SH left early, if not we can take neoprint together, which we didn't because we felt bad bout it. Touch not? ;P
AND I had a short GAY moment with Johan. LOLS. 'cause we witness this 2 guys holding hands! Then me and Jorhan came out with this crazy idea, doin' the same and walk past a few couples. SICK. Don't ask me, actually im quite disgusted by myself. It just felt DAMN WRONG. gwahahagoosebumps moment.
At the end of the day, went Arcade to end the night off. Johan and Alvin got OWNED by me and Jeslyn. HAHA.
It was a really short gathering, but i had my fun. =)Thanks. it's been awhile, i can take a walk away from all those crazy dreams and ambitions from crazy me.
--------------------------------------
The road of a dancer like me, ain't easy.
Because,
I don't want to be a nobody,
i want to be somebody,
with something.
And when im finally there,
On the stage,
Bowing in the Finale,
Please be there,
please smile n applause for me,
witness my growth,
share my joy.
;)
And i shall show you some tears of joy. =)
Dance with me,
TO BE CONTINUED

Whoo session today!
Made alot of new bboy friends at Esplanade! And there's me, Joey, Aki, Keiths, Klock and Gary! unexpectedly, Hazrul and KH was there as well! Gosh all the dope dancers.
Lols. It's like, infested with poppers, lockers n bboy there. Though there's a sudden big gang of rollerbladers in between the session, and then a Malay dance group, and towards the end of the session, indian dance. LOL. Haa nono, dun get me wrong, different people got different interest and culture. =) It's fun to see them do their stuff too. ^^
And tragically, i got a long way to go damn it, still not up to the standard. And I HATE the fact that i am still a relatively weak popper. Week by week, crushed by disappointments and frustration. Thought i improved, but everytime when i open my eyes wider, im no where near great.
I am tired, tired of trying so hard.
But belief just keeps me away from falling apart.
Because, i know, one day,
Someone like me,
with no talent,
with no gift,
can still succeed,
with this everlasting passion, hardwork and faith.
---------------------------------------
Yeah, thanks for the session today. =)

EVEN MORE DOPE DANCER I MET THIS WEEK. It's JSmooth from Machine Gone Funk crew in UK. And he's the man who won the UK Bboy championship, beating people like Salah, Gucchon, Kei and alot alot more legends in popping.
-------------------------------------------------
Supposed to go for modern audition, until Danny told me about Jsmooth coming over to Singapore and launch a master class today. I was like, Hell yeah i gonna skip modern for that. LOL. In the end, me, keith and Danny go all the way down to Bukit Timah shopping centre for the lesson.
WE ARE LATE. LOLS.And to add on, I never see Danny panick like that before. DAMN FARNI.HAHAA.
Anw, Jsmooth is really dope, fun and humorous. Love the 2hours to the max.
And i remember that reshuffle move that he taught us. Quite handy to use when im changing from botting to waving or to hitting. =D
And then during the class, he said sth like 'yeah u got it' to me. WAHAA. I was like, going crazy? Though i dunno what i actually did to make him say that to me.
Last note, bought his crew Tee for 25 bucks, with him signing his and my name on it. It's damn worth it can?! I dunno if i should wear it, or pin it on my room. Either way, it will remind me, where my passion throughly lies.
-------------------------------------------------
Grats my PIG for getting in. HAA. Told ya, ur worries are redundent. =P Waste your tears, your time and all. HEE HEE.
So just chill ok? YOU ARE PART OF TPDE NOW. =)
Loves.
But to those who never get in.. Don't give up, don't let your dance journey end here because of a little setback. =D I want to see you guys next year in TPDE. In the meantime, you can always session with me. We kind of always session this days. Heh.
So let's continued spreading the love for dance people.
And one more thing! HAHAHA! the NIHON VILLAGE's Sushi/sashimi was fucking cheap and nice! It's a buffet style, weekdays 2.30pm-5.30pm, freeflow of drinks, unlimited ordering of food including sashimis,scallop sushi, and a hell lot more. On top of that, good customer service. It's located near the Tampines Sport Complex's gym. I went there with Iman today.
SO MUCH MORE WORTH IT THAN THE STINKING SAKAE SUSHI. =P
