Before i forgot our hip hop group pic:

Another year is going to pass soon in a matter of days. And again, this year is one enriching and memorable one. In this 365 days, I experienced a spade of events, some of which were recorded down in pictures as well as in my blog. The recent one was the salsa congress. It wasn't as nerve-wrecking as last year. I guess it's due to the numerous dance performances I did. The final day which was on boxing day seemed to be just another round of practise. haha...simultaneously, on that night i went for chalet too. But it was not as fun though. Partly because not everyone was there. There were only less than 10 sj people turning up.

Anyway,speaking of the salsa congress. We(sh,keith and I) turned up at Victoria Concert Hall around 1pm. Though we were early as the area was only opened to us at 2pm, we could have reached there earlier. However, the Lee shao4 ye1 was half and hour late, thus the Wong and Ng nu2 bi4 had to wait for him for half and hour. sheesh!! In the hall, we did one dry run with costumes and the rest of the time was for us to make-up and prepare for the night. Making use of the time, I took several pics.



Wanyi(left)and Ya Lun trying to avoid my camera. Unfortunately, while running off, they allowed me to capture an interesting shot. haha.




Dawn and I (the bottom of my eye sucks. the glitter on my eye reflected light causing those white lines)



The all gals pic.


Wanyi's girlfriend(don't know her name) and I. I was planning to take pics with everyone one. But my cam was running out of battery.


I guess i don't remember most of their names. hizz...


Our hip-hop teacher Bianca for our dance this year. She's one crazy person.


Dawn and I and the guys of our hip hop gp.



Keith and Shi han amazed by the Fullerton building with their backs faced me. nice pic.

Salsa congress was really memoreable. love it much.
Anyway, Dawn and I seem to have another project up next before sch starts in the matter of days. haha and i'm looking forward to it.

Now as for the sj chalet, it was pretty boring. Quite sad though. I went there with keith and sh. Not sure what we were feeling but i bet the 2 of them were still suffering from the salsa fever. I want to go to thumpers. The xen people were going there to party. I want to see the new place. Too bad we can't. Hizz...

I ended up teaching the 2 of them neck drop and death drop. (Dawn, did u jaws just dropped out??) Keith was mainly the guy while sh was the gal. hehe... So when sh cant bend low as he did the neck drop, I let keith try on me. Surprisingly, it was comfortable. Even though we went slow, I could rest nicely. haha...

After that, we spent the morning playing cards till about 4am did we sleep. The next day was just an afternoon in Escape. Following that, some of them left while amanda and nat decided to stay in escape to play further so i went off with the guys where they so wonderfully swam in the cool swimming pool. I was so tempted to swim too but didn't bring enough clothes. Can you imagine watching others swim and not feel hot while you just get stuck on land, all sticky and hot. hizz.

However, fatique was overcoming me. Anywhere I went, as long as i have peace, I would start dozing off to sleep.

Today, I went for life-guard duty and I think I got myself sun-burnt. The morning sun was hot and was never cool. Got to know some new people. Sometimes I feel it's hard to initiate a conversation. It's always the same few questions being asked. Furthermore, I'm pretty SHY like some others too. So it's hard.

2008 is coming soon peeps.

This is Dawn's and my dance for this year (discounting tan min and amanda so sad). Hip Hop cum jazz cum salsa dance. Yes i know most people will think that the ending is at the part where i shoot Dawn down. In actual fact, there is still a salsa part. Too bad we cant take that part out since it's for a salsa congress so there have to be a salsa part in it. Aww... i'm such a good guy when I lead Dawn. haha....Dawn ah, you must buck up. I'm a better guy than you. haha



And this is the group performance of the year. Last year was some dumb name called 'funky monkey' but this year there's no name haha. Shall we call it the angels haha...

My spinning was way off at the end. Stupid. At least the previous dance performance, my spins were quite stable. But pian1 pian1 this time when it's on youtube, it's so ugly. hmm

Soon... on boxing day i'll be performing so any last call for TICKETS???? haha...i doubt anyone will buy it.

Talking about yesterday, the eve of christmas, i didn't excatly dance so vigorously. Met Dawn for like half an hour in xen and she rushed off for church performance. Then comes keith and sh. At least they were there to entertain me. They are quite lame actually cause they went to xen but didnt stayed of the hh practise. Thus they left with me at 5 plus. We had some nice chat in the studio. haha. was quite interesting.

Following that, I met up with another group of friends and we went to play pool for a short while followed by bowling. Talking about pool, it's my second time since like 3 years ago that i did that. On the overall, it can be quite addictive if i played longer. I still didn't get a grip of it at that single round. Bowling up next. As usual, on my second game i tire out. The damn 9 pound ball just weigh a ton when i hold it. Too bad the lighter ones just fit my thumbs nicely so i didn't take the risk of using them lest i get my thumb stuck in the ball. Had dinner at Pizza hut and all were treated. ha. thanks to DF for the bowling and BY for the nice dinner. hehe...

Wee...

MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

This week is another packed one with activities from day to night (literally).

I also started my job as a lifeguard on tuesday. At first i was kind of nervous but not scared. However, it was really enjoyable in the end of the day. Christ was there to teach me. She, same age but more experience, taught me what i should keep watch for and etc. Larry orientated me with the compound as well as the first aid room where there is the blue bag. The other lifeguards were very friendly too and had a nice time chatting while working. haha...

Before I started this job, i thought that it was a slack job where you just sit there and shake your leg. In actual fact, we have to walk around as the bosses dislike us to sit on those high chairs and not move. I remember on Tuesday, though it was morning, the sun was really hot and i experienced sun-burn when i came home. Luckily the next day was rainy. It either rain or drizzle the whole of the morning. Thus, since I was in-charge of the lazy pool and since the lazy pool was closed due to the weather, I just sat on one of those benches and chat.

It's fun to know more about different people. Most of them aren't really good in their studies, unlike the circle of friends in xen or in sj etc. Thus you get to see the other side of life. Not everyone goes on the normal education route where you study jc and into uni. These poeple choose the stress-free option. They rather lead a simple, trouble-free life. It's a total different side.

And yes i think i am becoming like sh, all curious about analyzing everyone. haha...

Hopefully i can book myself in more life-guard duties. As the matter of fact, I am earning a good sum of money too.

Back to dance. Today I had a gp hip-hop and penguin performance. Xen was super crowded. I was literally shivering after the hh segment. Partly because my 12+ solo spins were over. Never before i felt such nervousness when i do hip-hop. This time round, i didn't enjoy the process of the dance. Instead, I worry about my ending spins. STUPID. Penguin was just penguin. I didnt feel i danced to my fullest. I mean the place is so squeezy and the moment you stetech your hands out, you'll hit someone. And i reached home the latest of all days, around 12+. I bet tomor will be later since we will be performing all the dances. It's pretty instane. Imagine all the dancers rushing around to change in the small area. It's sooo uncomfortable.

Shall end here...Wee...

I haven't been touching the computer so often these days. Oh how much i miss it. I bet tm touches it at least thrice more times then me (haha something random). Anyway, holidays are suppose to allow me to blog more but it seems that i am blogging far lesser than during o levels haha.

The hols revolve around dancing. Not others. This year with have SHI HAN and KEITH to join in the fun of hip-hopping too. Before anything, I would like to make an announcement. PLEASE VISIT DAWN'S BLOG ESP SJ MEMBERS. WONDERFUL THING AWAITS U) Yesterday, bianca finished our group hip hop dance (somewhat) as well as i learnt the whole 3 min penguin dance (now i only have pieces of the dance moves in my mind and i cant piece them up. HELP)

The next problem now is the costumes. By tomorrow I have to get all my costumes and i can hear money rolling out of my pocket. :(

Something else not dance related.

Yaee!!! I am going njc. Though my yae accompanies the 3 exclamation marks, i don't feel as excited. If only dawn appeals in it'll be better and i might change my view on it. DAWN... GO APPEAL. Everyone's been saying that nj is a mugger school. I'm not sure about that. But i am going to experience it for the next 3 wks in 08 and hopefully i'll like it. Maybe in the end of the day, my o level results are screwed and i have to settle with jj.

It seems to be that my hols is filled up and i have no rest days. Even after the big day (26 dec, performance), there is another 1 or 2 more performances. Hizz... never go to the beach and get tanned. haha

Before i end this post,

ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN BUYING TICKETS AT $15 TO WATCH THE SINGAPORE SALSA CONGRESS PERFORMANCE ON BOXING DAY (26/12/07) DAWN AND I WILL BE DOING A DUO hiphop-jazz-salsa DANCE. COME WATCH. CALL ME OKIE :)

My blog is getting so dead. First is because of my laziness second is that our house computer is spoilt so i have to wait till my mum comes home so i can use her office laptop. This is such a trouble.

Anyway, I just came back from China last Friday and had a partial dance madness on Saturday.

Some memorable things worth remembering about China is that on the day before we came home, I saw snow for the first time. Though it maay not be as exciting to some since they have seen it many times, it's my first time. So i am happy.

Another was that i got to swim everyday. The pool in our hotel was an indoor one so Caleb and I made full use of their facilities.

Some points not worth remembering is that in China, people spit phlegm like no one's business. Every moment i can heard the sound of that urges the phlegm out of their throat. YUCKS!! If you look down on the road, you will see the numerous splats.

Another point is that the people there are not friendly at all. There was this China woman asking another China woman for directions and she just push her away without even listening to her. How irritating. Also, it's a norm to get pushed aside if you are in the way of someone, as well as being cut when queueing up.

Saturday, was a partial dance madness. Why i say partial? It's because i kind of stoned in xen from 2 to like 5 watching the semi-pro people practising. Luckily Dawn came like for a spilt moment and we did our dance for like thrice before she disappeared back to church.

At least i was not bored to death since one of my friend came for hiphop so i had a nice time introducing him about xen and the stuff. Basic salsa was super miserable at the start. There was only one Indian guy dancing. Looks like terrance was giving a private lesson. ha...

After that, it grew in number but in such a way that there were only 2 girls : me and another one. The situation was dumb but it was not as bad in intermediate. Terrance spent the next one hour in inter just to teach one variation of touch and go. The speed was slow but i got my share of practising my double spins. Argh... they are getting lousier. I realise that this year's dance isn't as intensive as last year's.

And finally, I get to have social madness. It's been a long time that i socialed continuously without stopping. I think it's the first in this year. Haha... though they made my legs ache, it feels fulfilling.

Yesterday I had a 6A gathering at jp after I when to city hall with my mum and brother. The ambience was strange and uncomfortable. I didn't feel like myself there. I guess it takes me time to get comfortable with people. Look's like i am a SHY person. haha..

Anyway, we spent and hour in the arcade followed by a moive(the golden compass). The show had a dumb ending. It doesn't conclude the movie.

Today, i stayed at home to sleep and watch my cd drama. I think i am falling sick. How nice. Blocknose, running nose, sore throat and cough. Maybe fever is up next. They always come at the wrong time.
