Flashing at its Best




Performed with the SDZ Go Green flashmobbers on Sunday at Zhenghua CC.

On. A. Sunday. Morning.

Actually, for our first performance together I thought it was pretty good and definitely a job well done. We didn't expect ourselves to be that neat and watching the video Shiying took for us using Jevin's DSLR shocked us but oh well! Really proud of us, especially since we're all juniors in SDZ. Go Flashers!


So on Sunday I had to get up really early to be at the CCK LRT platform by 10am. As usual, only got there around 10.10am or so? Need to start being on time. Either that or be earlier.

Once we got there we took the LRT to Segar!



First ever LRT ride! Well okay I think I took it once as a kid but I don't really remember if I did especially on the CCK side so I'm counting this as the first.

Walking to Zhenghua CC.


We decided to put on our jackets outside because we were all wearing our green shirts, so it was pretty obvious we were performers! (This was supposed to be a flashmob)

"Veli hot..!"











Shiying's super cute here!
And God knows what Azrul's doing..

Azrul getting sabotaged by Ben

And he had to dance on stage with the emcee. HAHA



Her stomach fats are fake, btw. If you were there it would be pretty obvious.

The emcee had no shame though. She kept making people guess her weight and saying that she's heavy and all that. You don't do that to yourself??
But it was all good, she provided us with fun and laughter.

"Dope, dope!!!!"

The typical dancers' hand sign which is an indicator that something/someone is dope.

Other indicators include:
1) Throwing of shoes
2) Throwing of caps






Bboys doing their thang!

Jacob why are you the only one that's blurry?

MORTAL KOMBAT







Now it's fogged up..

..and suddenly it isn't!

This really amused Inez and I. We never knew that the LRT's windows could do that! Apparently Rach/Jasmine?? told us that it's because of the fact that the LRTs are located so near the HDB flats, and the government does this to protect the privacy of the people staying in those HDB blocks.

That's pretty cool.


Cute baby we saw on the LRT back to CCK!

Adorable thing kept smiling and making these faces. Major aw moment!

Time Crisis 4! I definitely prefer playing TC 2 and 3 but the arcade at Lot 1 doesn't have the older versions of Time Crisis :(

Jacob!

Been feeling pretty down lately. So many problems and worries on hand now but I'm thankful for those around me, especially the dancers. Love y'all very very much!

New short hair!

Thanks to Janice from Toni&Guy for the haircut! Had my hair coloured by Jackie. Did this last week and am pretty much loving it right now, think I'm gonna keep it like that.

A video for you to enjoy! QWOP-inspired hahaha.

Teenage Kpop Dance Battle 2011 Finals

Hey y'all!

So I took part in this year's Teenage Kpop Dance Battle with Rustique. Even though we didn't emerge in the Top 3 I didn't feel disappointed or anything cuz the process alone was really rewarding. Being in the Finals alone was pretty awesome itself!

Gonna post up the rest of the photos some other time. But for now here are some of the photos taken while announcing the winners:










Zack's face.. CLASSIC.



Your 2011 Teenage Kpop Dance Battle Winners: MORE THAN FIVE


T'was an amazing experience overall. Felt the SDZ pride thing going on due to that More Than 5 are all our alumnis. Watching them dance was truly inspiring.

Can't believe I complained so much and even thought of pulling out of this. Who knows how much I would've regretted doing so.

Well it's currently 4:38AM. I've to be up at 7.30AM to get ready to be in school by 9 cuz Rustique's gonna be performing at Changi Airport T3 this weekend and we have vetting to go through tomorrow. Just when I thought I could take a break from all the hardcore dancing.. sigh here comes another week of it.

Monday: Training
Tuesday: Airport perf vetting
Wednesday: Training
Thursday: Flashmob training + Waves item training
Friday: Flashmob training
Saturday: Airport performance
Sunday: Flashmob performance

Well done Gwen, well done.


Dancing so much actually makes me miss the sea.

I really miss my sailing days. Bonding with the sailors at the "Opposite Coffeeshop" after our trainings which ended late, camping out at sea waiting for first warning signals during regattas, the feeling of my byte hitting the waves when sailing during strong wind, my fear of going downwind due to the fact when I first started out in sailing I turtled on the downwind (strong wind) a lot of times...

..and then eventually overcoming that fear when I was in secondary 4 because I learnt how to pump (heehee I know it's illegal!) and to catch wind pockets. Even though it makes you go faster (which = more unstable), I felt more comfortable, surprisingly.

I really miss putting on my booties, UV suit, and my torn and tattered pair of track pants.


Then comes the part where I miss my secondary school days in MFSS.

I sometimes wonder why I never treasured my secondary school days more because those were honestly some of the best days of my life. I made the truest friends there and had the best and worst experiences. No wonder they say secondary school is prolly the most happening and life-changing part of most people's lives.

Life in poly's just.. different.

I have to say I'm extremely thankful that I'm in SDZ. Definitely the best CCA/club to be in IMO. Everyone's family there, and I've made a handful of decent friends there and I can't tell y'all how much I love them.

This passion for dance we have just drives us to work hard at dance together. Prolly why we bond even faster.

Waves training's officially starting this week for Zul + Unkle's item and I'm terribly excited for that! Can't wait to experience Waves for myself after seeing how Inez went through Waves15 last year. Watching it made me want to go to SP for SDZ and I hope Waves16 would inspire more kiddos to do that too!

Ah well. Off to bed I go! Early morning vetting tomorrow, here's hoping that I won't be late (which I prolly will be).

Goodnight y'all!
