    Dance was damn fun tonight!

    Behold the collaboration of a popper and locker! Martin n Justin! bwaaa. And hes dope. HAA! nice groove, nice funk, nice variation! =DDD Lots to learn from u bro!! Session soon again. Can't wait man. bwahaaa.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Hahas. Nothin' about the dance concept will be told here. Wanna see it. Come on the actual day of 'Flunk it' Talent-time! Bwahahas.

    It's so fun sessioning over at Justin's place. Me, Gen, Justin, Darryl and Suffian!! And it's my first time choreo-ing for HipHop.

    ACTUALLY, I ALWAYS WANT TO DO HIPHOP. But somehow, along the way, ppl labelled me as a popper, and then whatever event, i will always be drafted into popping. Awww man, like finally! it's the chance for me to explore the style. : ) n We've got Gen and the rest to help us improvise our idea, so it's all cool. =P

    Dance, dance, and dance....dance all my worries away.

    what awaits me next week, are mountains of project deadlines and Presentation. Yawn* Hope the week end soon, just get it done and over with, and i'm off to HongKong for a vacation.

    YES HONGKONG. It's all about DimSum, shopping, meeting-up with my dope gang, enjoying the nightlife.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------


    Oschool recital on Sunday. Gin asked me to go for CHC service in the morning before that. Lol. Issit because i always skip training, so she thought i need some god moment to readjust my priority and lifestyle? Haaa. It's been awhile, i'll just go tag along and look around.

    Sleepy, drained. Off to sleep.

    Oschool Recital Around the corner. Fighting!


    Dance in the Rain,
    TO BE CONTINUED.

    Date / Time : Friday, November 28, 2008 / 2:54 AM
    Tempted to start a new blog. But im too used to this one! So i guess i'll just stick to it! =)

    -----------------------------------------
    Awwww...man..

    Where should i start?lol i got too much to talk about, too many things i want to share. Events happened in the past, things im going through now, and challenges ahead in the near future.
    Faint* Couldn't express 'em all here. But i'll start off by telling everyone,

    im still alive. Still in one perfect piece despite the longlong absence from here. =DD

    Darn i miss http://www.dancewithmartin.blogspot.com/!

    But i'll rename it to http://www.poppinshin.blogspot.com/ soon! I dunno! like, wtf, what's the diff!?

    Heh. Just feel like it larh huh. =) Implementing soon, when im ready to bid goodbye to the old linkie.
    ---------------------------------------------------

    I miss everyone.

    I realised, when i stop blogging, it's like cutting myself from the outside world. To my friends outside, this is the only way, the only medium for us to know about each other's stuff. Im totally outdated now i guess. Like who's the new crush of urs, new hobby, or i don't know. haa. im sorry.
    No-life dancer like me, can never be the same me back then. ='(

    Sorry im not a good best friend, good close friend. Same old things, nothing new, im apologizing here again, cus im just too absorbed by dance, like some idiot chasing a star, but when i turned back, yall gone.

    But it hurts, looking at you, slowly, degrading, into a hi-bye-friend.


    Some part of me....just want to give up dancing. Im all worn out. Challenge after challenge, and after this challenges, there's another mountain of challenges. This is what people called breakthrough huh?

    Let's see. YJ Art Fusion -> Tdays Perf -> Vibes -> Musical -> Gem 3 -> Regeatta -> JamNHop => DRC -> Dreams -> FTL08 -> Oschool Recital -> TP Bus Talent-Time -> Funka -> Gem 4 -> NewYork dance -> and i guess it will just go on till the day i die.

    The point is, this is endless. There's no end to it. What da hell am i pursuing?

    Hahas, i also don't know. All i know is, it is a passion of mine, and im paying a big price for it.



    Tell me, lord,

    IS IT WORTH IT? cos' i cannot tell anymore.

    Floor The Love 08 Era - 15th Oct - 14th Nov

    Gonna backtrack abit.
    All i could say is that, the past month, last 30 days, was a nightmare for myself. The tremendous stress that I'm undergoing, is unbearable. I felt really helpless at times. Failure, Discouragements, negative comments. I hate to face it, but what can i do? Am i still in the position to procrastinate? Damn i don't have all the time in the world to run away now.
    There was really no way out, but to face them head on, enduring the pain, the frustration and pride. 24/7, trying to remind myself not to fall now, crunch my fist and walk on, and maybe i'll see some light before FTL08.
    We drill on technique, comments, flow, musicality and tag. We just don't want to give up, until the very last minute.

    --------------------------------------------
    FTL08 15 November 2008

    It's the big day, finally.
    haha. and somehow, we made it through the Top16 selection, though there's nothing to be proud of cus there's only like...i don't know, 20 teams? haha! It must be our lucky day. =)And It wasn't as bad as i thought. The battle ground, actually emits a very warm feeling to my heart. It's like..sort of a family kinda warm? Maybe just like what they say, we are all the same. One love, for dance.

    And our battle opponent's Frequence, the KO-night runner-up.
    Some photos taken by Lavone and FTL themselves.




    Whoo. Trust me. I got totally affected by the enemy's taunting. Haas or did they even bother to fight/taunt us? I started out alright ( At least that's what i thought LOL), but it's that split second, when my eyes meet theirs, that killed me. Their expression destroyed me. HAHA. Oh well. Im still too beginner for battle i guess. Tried my best. Been there, done it, fullstop. I leave no regrets when i tagged to Keiths.

    bwahahaa. And twin, i think you did great la! Don't get emo over it alrite? It's a good exposure man! Though we got pwned! But im sure we learnt a great deal the journey down FTL! =DD


    We'll both work harder together alrite?!

    We might lose the battle, but we win ourselves, which is more important than anything else. =D I wish we can do it again someday. ;)

    Nightmare over as i enjoyed the rest of the dope battle.

    Battle of the day it got to be the Locking battle between 'Too Funky' and 'Sunset AlleyCat'. Respect to them, they were awesome! And so's all the dancers and audiences.


    2 words, DOPE NIGHT!
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    TP SchoolLife Era -

    School started for like 1 month already, and now then i blog about it. HAHAHA!

    School just begin and i already got blacklisted by the tutors. Note i said tutorSSSS. HHAA! Seriously it's that bad. I suspect they heard from other tutors about me or they got a record of my attendance. Darn. Thought i can start anew, be a good boy, but now it's not as easy as i think it would be. =P
    AND

    I love my current clique in class!! Dope people, common hobbies, super crappy, perfect projectmates! What's more can i ask for man. Me, Gen, Lun, Jer, Dudu and Matin. It's like a All-Star team sia! hahas. There must be something good about this person. Like for Gen, she sing. Lun she waterpolo, Matin Theatre Art, Jer Basketballer, Dudu Gymer! And im a popper.
    And that's not their only talent. One common hobby we got was SINGING! Haahaha! Cool luh. Love it. And guys! i'll upload the field trip photo sometime tmr. hahaha! yeah man.

    Anyway, i wish the class could have more bonding cus it's like 4 continents! First time man! Class split until so jialat.

    I miss 1B10. =(( That's one hell of a perfect class.

    We got to meet up soon man. heh.
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    And sorry baby. =( i know im not setting my priority right. But trust me, after Oschool Recital and Talent Time, i will settle down for awhile and spend time with you.

    Hug* baby endure for the next few weeks yaa! Study hard worrh. Prove to ur parent u can juggle studies and dance, make them happy and they will give u back your freedom. =)

    Hee. Don't give up. There's a will, there's a way.
    Love you! And when ur lonely, im jus a call away. wink wink* But don't scold me if i doing work. Lol. Im bad in multitasking.
