the lil things i miss ..

2010-01-17T02:59:00.000-08:00

after being in the army for 3 months plus ..
i start to really treasure the lil things around me ..
i guess the saying of people only start to treasure things when they lose them is true ..
this point of my life sucks ..
nver tot i would get so emo, haiz ..

I MISS SDZ!
every single tiny thing related to SDZ, i miss it so badly ..
- climbing the staircases up to the dance clubhouse ..
- taking speakers from clubhouse to MPH ..
- buying drinks from Bang Deli or 7-11(currently Cheers) @ FC5 before dance ..
- plugging in the speakers to the power point using the cheat method(LOL) ..
- opening partition doors in MPH + showing dancers how to open the last partition door which requires some skills ..
- putting bag my down on the side of the studio floor to prep for dance ..
- hanging out with dancemates to eat at FC2,3,4,5 to eat before and after dance ..
- hanging out with dancemates and just laze around in clubhouse with the lights off ..
- cleaning up the clubhouse, doing my other ex-QM duties ..
- climbing the dreaded 3rd level high MPH studio ..
- punching fist with dancemates ..
- messing around with dancemates ..
- being crazy with dancemates ..
- guiding my junior dancemates for the all 3 batches down me, mentoring and having all the talks about taking the lead ..
- sharing my knowledge of dance with all my juniors and current batch ..
- dancing and choreographing with dancemates and dance juniors ..
- seeing all the juniors growing into matured and wonderful dancers ..
- contributing to the club however much i can ..
- not giving up the every single batch of juniors ..
- the pains of teaching dance to 3 batches of juniors ..
- the joy of EVERY SINGLE performance in SDZ
- the pains and joys of every waves ..
- the excitement of going every dance event with sdz-ians ..
- the SAI KANG i do for the club, keep speaker after every pract la bla bla bla ..
- the makan session from jurong entertainment centre, clementi or tiong bahru plaza ..
- the joy of learning something new every practice with the instructors(Daniel, Ryan and AnAn) ..
- the joy of rooting and cheering for dancemates in competition ..
- the idea of just being there for dancemates when they are down ..

there is no end to this list, there will never be, cuz after being in this club for 4+years, there is really too much to be said ..
but most of all, i miss the COMPANY of all SDZ-ians! i really miss yáll during the weekdays and sundays when i book in!! haiz ..

Not forgetting of course my dead SYDC yo!
I MISS SYDC ..

- i miss out humble beginnings in SMU training when we werent official ..
- i miss how i was inspired by every single one of y'all when you all dance or teach a choreo..
- i miss how my eyes were open to a new world/level of dance when i got to know yáll one by one through dance ..
- i miss every lazy and sleepy mornings that i had to wake up to, to get to TSC for morning gongyo and practice ..
- i miss all the struggles we when through to officialised the crew ..
- i miss all the struggles we when through to get prepared for every single performance ..
- i miss all the opportunities we had to perform as crew, the excitement and all ..
- i miss every the times we spent going for dance events and all ..
- i really really miss messing around with y'all and just being crazy with all of y'all ..
- i miss the sharing session everytime we had after dance ..
- i miss the makan session after dance whether if it was at TM, CS, PS, JP!
- i miss rides in Mel's car ..
- i miss how you guys always mess around with me and make me laugh ..
- i miss the joy of having our own personal studio with mirrors in SCC ..
- i miss every performance with y'all ..

no end to this list as well, 4+years just like in SDZ, too many things done together, too many times spend together .. i MISS YOUR COMPANY TOO SYDC!!!

my saturdays, spend watching y'all performing and joining competitions, i cant help but think, will i be able to dance freely and perform again soon? can i hold out dat long through my time in NS .. :'(

i wanna dance again ..

NS Life ..

2009-10-23T08:49:00.000-07:00

haha! back from 2.5 week in Army BMT!
training i would say was more than what i expected to be!
but i really enjoy sweating it out! love all the PT trainings, though it might be quite killer sometimes! haha!
welfare in my company is really good as well! i would say i'm lucky to be in the company that i'm in! haha!

got selected to be the first platoon ic!
there was a mix feeling, in a way i'm excited but another way i'm worried about the responsibilities and punishment coming my way haha! Plus, the command skills are like 3 years+ rusty! haha!

jia you to me and to my platoon! :)

I MISS EVERYONE! AND I MEAN EVERYONE! *loves*

the day is coming ..

2009-10-04T21:13:00.000-07:00

i just spend my last weekend as a boy/teenager/young adult the last 2 days ..
2 more damn days ..
bleahs!

new studio for SYDC!

2009-10-01T12:03:00.000-07:00

HOORAY!!!
we finally have a studio to ourselves(SYDC)!
okok, maybe not all to us, but shared with the other dance cultural groups in SSA!
but it beats the open space outside Soka Kindergarden definitely!
what's best, ITS IN THE WEST SIDE at SCC near Jurong Point! haha YAAAAY!
haha so much space! parquet flooring! aircon! sound system!
haha mirrors! oh wait ..

WHERE ARE THE MIRRORS? haha! no worries, they'll be coming soon, but still might take quite some time! haha! yay! SYDC sessions will definitely be more productive and progressive now that we can use the new studio! really hope our juniors will improve by many many with the help of the studio! jia you jia you! though the flipside is that i'll be going NS in like 6 more days .. which means i cant use the studio as much lol! mel told me LL suck thumb! haha as told me thats one of the first few lingos that i'll hear when i go in the army haha!

cant wait! NOOOOOTTTTT!

damn, it sucks to be going in the army now that i think of it .. bleahs .. i've been doing lots of thinking recently .. and i do feel that i am spending more time training this year bunch of fresh juniors compared to my past 2 batches of juniors .. i just wanna apologise to my direct juniors(Lum's batch) and my grand juniors(Gail's batch), sorry i wasnt able to spend more time with y'all training and passing down what i learn for HH espcially, 2 reasons:
1.) i was still studying and my workload was really very heavy back then, design can be a real bitch ..
2.)i felt i was not confident about teaching what i knew back then cuz i did not think i was good enough and ready to teach ..

but i did pass down what i knew for my genre wise, in terms of locking, popping and bboying, hope that was useful 4 y'all!

after being in so many sessions in SYDC and in SDZ and in the local dance scene, i really learn alot of things in dance, meet a lot of people, learnt from them .. there came a point where i felt i was ready to teach more HH stuff, which was this period of time .. thats why, i spend more time sessioning HH with this year's batch of juniors, so y'all SDZ freshies y'all really lucky this year! sorry to my direct and grand juniors as well that i didnt level up fast enough to be ready to session and pass down what i knew about HH to y'all ..

besides that, i would really like to thank SYDC, especially to Mel, Giffy, Bao, and Kher Xin, because after sessioning, dancing, learning and performing from/with y'all, I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY learnt alot! Especially to Mel, cuz i'm really learnt how to choreo for HH in a new way from learning and watching how you do/choreo all you hiphop pieces! you got me interested in wanting to choreo and explore my hiphop vocab! so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ALL FROM SYDC!

one reason why i'm really contributing so much that i can to SDZ is because, i really felt that, SDZ has given me the BEST 3 YEARS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE so far .. it really has changed me, helped me grow as a person .. i really am thankful for that very faithful day that i mustered the courage to put my name into SP Dance Club during my year 1 CCA drive .. i dun want to imagine how i'll be like if i didnt found the courage to sign up and audit for it . i'll prolly be a nerd/geek/loser that still be bullied by everyone else .. SDZ has taught me how to dance, how to dress, how to perform, how to entertain, how to inspire, how to stage manage, how a dance concert works, how to become a sai kang warrior king, how to let loose and have fun and how crazy a bunch of dancers can be when they are together! haha! it has really changed my life alot, drastically! so i felt that i have to give back all that i've learn and gained from this club and pass down this change to all the batches below me ..

CUZ OF SDZ, I CAN DANCE NOW! I AM A DANCER!

i'll like to take this opportunity to thank all the people in SDZ that have guided me and been thru the journey of dance with .. Especially to instrutor Daniel Yeow and An An, for being my instructors and painstakingly guiding me! and to Han and Zul, both of y'all been thru the ups and downs with me, y'all also my mentors in dance and my benchmark/marker for dance that i've always wanted to hit, but till todat still lose to y'all haha! to khai, thanks for teaching me krump basics, got me really interested in krump after that! to bin, a real inspiration in dance and a really close brother in arms to me! haha from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

i'm saying all my thanks now .. why?
i'm really afraid ..
afraid that i cant dance anymore after i go NS ..
afraid that i make the decision not to dance anymore after i go NS ..
can i still dance then?
will i still dance then?

*sad*

The picture says it all ..

2009-09-28T10:57:00.000-07:00

like the title says, the picture says it all ..
all the emotions inside of me especially the past 2 months till now ..
i might look cheerful on the outside, but there is so much negativity inside of me ..
i dun understand why i must act so strong in front of everyone else ..
try to bring joy to everyone else, try to satisfy all sides ..
try to be there for peeps and homies that need the support and encouragement ..
BUT ..
why do i find it so hard to seek the encouragement and support of the ones around me?
why do i bottle everything inside of me?
Is it cuz i think that i can solve them by myself?
Is it cuz i think that they cant solve my problems?
Is is cuz i've been helping many others out to solve their problems, and it feels stupid to not be able to solve my own?
I REALLY DUNNO!!!!
*sighs*

sometimes, i feel like a real hypocritical ass ..
i hide what i truely feel about someone ..
i admit .. i do say things that people want to hear about themselves ..
i tone down on certain things that are really nasty to the ears ..
sometimes i even just brush it aside ..
the end result, everyone is satisfied and happy ..
but in turn, i'm the one hurting,
biting my lips,
holding back my tears,
keeping my anger,
bearing the pain ..

why do i do this to myself?
am i really happy being like that?
has it made me a really made me the negative person that i am during the nights?

maybe cuz, i guess, part of where i derive happiness from, is where everyone around me is happy and satisfied ..
i do not like to see the ones around me sad, angry or unhappy ..
so much so, that i'm willing to sacrifice my own happiness for the exchange of their happiness and content ..

but am i really happy this way?
i really dunno ..

worries, worries, worries ..
enlistment to NS in 8 days and counting ..
wondering if i can handle the training ..
wondering what my next plan of life is ..
wondering if all my SDZians peeps and juniors will be able to make Waves 14 a success ..
wondering if the SDZians juniors will be properly guided and disciplined to grow in dance and become seniors ..
wondering if SDZ will continue to grow to achieve greater heights ..
wondering if SYDC will be able to foster stronger bonds with everyone?
wondering if i'll be able to foster stronger bonds with SYDC juniors?
wondering if my bond with the SYDC seniors will be weakened due to not being to meet up as often ..
wondering if i can still dance for SDZ and SDZ's next Waves onwards ..
wondering if i can still dance for SYDC's upcoming performances ..
wondering if i my dance level will drop and remain stagnant like the way it is now ..
wondering if there is a chance for me to improve to become a better dancer ..
wondering if i can still can/will dance?

most of y'all(SDZ) joke about me going to NS and not being able to dance for Waves or for SDZ, i maybe laughing on the outside .. but in the inside, it really aint easy for me to just accept the fact that i cant dance for Waves this year .. so it will be very nice if y'all cud show me some support and encouragement instead yeah?

i miss Bin .. the only person that really understands me .. my brother in arms .. my morale booster .. if ya reading this, hope ya doing fine with you job overseas! Take care too!

will i still be able to dance?
will i still be dancing then?
will we still be able to meet up?

Dope dance classes + Bon Voyage Mel! + LAN Gaming ..

2009-09-16T10:51:00.000-07:00

I know most of y'all know or heard this before already ..
But, i still have to shout it out loud!

TERENCE AND KEN FROM NRA IS CRAZY-ASSED DOPE/FRESH/SICK/AWESOME!!!!!!!

its been a long time since i attended dance classes, but our recent SYDC session was different then the usual session! we decided to attend dance classes organised by EV Dance Factory! it was the Swagg Out Dance Workshop Classes, and there were slots available for Terence's and Ken's class! so some of us decided to attend the class, me, Marcus, Mark, Lester and Melvin .. and man did i got more than what i bargained for! haha! For both classes, i could catch the starting, but from the middle onwards, i lost it! LOL! but i really did enjoyed the classes still, learning new stuff! haha! both of them are so inspiring, that i felt boosted and ready to chiong dance the next whole week! Thank you to both of them!

another sad moment, went to send Melissa off (together with a few of my dancemates) to the UK for her studies yesterday, and she will be there for the next 2 months! another comrade/mentor/dancemate/close friend/sister going off again .. damn gonna miss messing around with Mel all the time in the MPH haha! well 2 months will pass by fast, just like my NS BMT duration haha! haha! Take care and bon voyage Melissa! Come back soon k? miss ya!

after sending Mel off, it was already 1am plus, so we decided to go play LAN! haha! Robin brought us to a LAN shop near Park Lane, that cost $1.50/hr haha! cheap cheap! haha! i got a new addiction now besides dance, LAN GAMING!! haha! its especially fun when you play late through the night with the right company of friends! hint: gaming buddies: Allen, Michellex2, Sha, Vincent, Robin, Weisheng and Nelson! haha! played all sorts of shooting games, CS, Call of Duty 4 and Left 4 Dead! FUN FUN FUN! its good especially if you want to destress or if you are just want to have senseless fun! haha! Played from 2+AM TO 6AM!!! HAHA! SHIOK BALLS! looking forward to the next time that i can play LAN again!

worried ..

2009-09-08T09:10:00.000-07:00

HAHA! got a new haircut too! its my last one before i go BOTAK for my NS enlistment! haha! got quite alot of good comments for this new haircut!! i kinda like it too, even though its abit ah beng-ish! haha!

FYI and Triple T after the the semi-finals ..

me and Mark!

me and Candy Jie!

me and Ying Xin

haiz ...
been observing the way things are being done in the dance club from the HipHop side for the past few weeks .. i can honestly tell you, I'M WORRIED!! especially with Waves 14 coming real soon and the preparation week starts from this 1 semester holidays .. i dun wish to demoralized any of y'all, if things carry on the way it is, Waves 14 will be a big problem .. in a nutshell the way to solve this:

SENIORS: STEP IT UP! TAKE THE LEAD! start performing and practicing on your own already! if you want to perform for a certain item for Waves, work hard for it and audit for it! everyone (HH/Modern/Bboy) has equal chance of getting into the item, cuz it all boils down to the choreographer .. if you did not get in, you only have yourself to blame! you did not stand out enough to catch the choreographer's eyes! suck it up and deal with it!

JUNIORS: i already told some of y'all this already .. BASICS ARE FUCKING IMPORTANT! dun even bother to audit/learn/try other genres, locking/popping/street jazz/and many more,
if you cannot even do a simple downbeat routine!!!! IT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF WHEN I SEE JUNIORS WHO CANT DO BASICS FOR HIPHOP OR EVEN BASICS OF A GENRE LIKE LOCKING eg., learning the audition routine and then going for the audition! STOP ALL THAT BULLSHIT! practice all your basics till you can get them right!

Basics: Downbeat routine variations
Upbeat routine variations
Isolations
AnAn's techniques/choreo taught

lastly, take all criticism from instructors/choreographer/seniors/dancemates, CONSTRUCTIVELY!!!! criticism is meant for your own growth in dance, not meant to belittle/offend/insult you! so dun give all that emo/demoralized/angry/talking behind ppl's back/insults/attitude, BULLSHIT!! WE DUN NEED ALL THAT FUCKSHIT! if you can't take the criticism, you can jolly well LEAVE THE CLUB!

lastly hooked on the song, Get Back - Ludacris, expressing all my angst ..

GET BACK MUHFUCKA' YOU DON'T KNOW ME LIKE THAT!

spirits lifted!

2009-09-01T10:07:00.000-07:00

after a crazy/hectic/exciting/tiring/emotional past week of practicing and being eliminated Suntec Dance Competition Heats, i return to my ordinary rotting life of before ever since i graduated, basically just coming to school to dance like everyday ..

haha was hoping F.Y.I will make it to the finals, not only for breakthrough, but at the same time kill the time just right before i go serve my nation! LOL! cuz ever since i took part in the competition, my life started to have a certain drive, rather then the usual rotting moments .. HAHA!

BUT BUT BUT! this monday session was different!

first of all, it was a free session, cuz its still the exam period .. so there were only a few of us down at MPH studio .. mostly some of the bboys .. then it somehow lead to a 2vs2 battle between Zul and me vs Gary and Big Jon! haha! it was a really fun battle, where each of us were totally bboying our hearts out, throwing what we had in our "arsenal", hitting the music and "DISSING"/TEASING one another! LOL! its been a long time since i danced like that already! haha!

after that battle, it somehow lead to a locking battle between Wei Sheng and Sha! haha it was just as entertaining to watch them battle it out! haha! with that, it somehow lead to a 7 to smoke battle suggested by Zul! haha! it got even hotter and crazier! all of us one by one battle it out! cheering and screaming for each other! haha! it finally boils down to a battle between Zul and Heng Thye which we tied their battle for 3 rounds! HENG THYE WAS ON FIRE YO! seriously on fire! you should see the INTENSITY on Heng Thye's face when he was battling! i was like telling Sha, TAKE A PICTURE OF THAT MAN! LOL! we were cheering to the max man, until Heng Thye got a cramp on his leg and aggravated his old injury! LOL so random and sudden! so Cheng Kai started to played emo songs to suit the moment, from Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" to John Lennon's "Let it Be" singing it to Heng Thye telling him to take it easy! LOL!

it somehow lead to something else after that .. i would call it a "after-party" ..
we started to play random high music and just let loose and dance to it! LOL! here's the video to give you a better "understanding" lol ..

It certainly brought up my spirits and mood after that night! but i left me with really bad aching thighs! haha!

check this video out too! helped 2 of my junior dancemates, with the help of some of my other dancemates as well, for their video project for an ad in Fujitsu last month .. this is one of them! In my opinion, i think it is quite well done! haha!

2 casualties .. 1 survivor!

2009-08-29T10:23:00.000-07:00

phew ..
who likes the feeling of losing?
nobody does ...

After successfully getting through the audition round of Suntec Dance Competition '09 two week ago, the journey for teams, F.Y.I and Rebel came to at end at the Suntec Dance Competition Heats round .. and yes, i wont deny it, i am feeling a lil tinge of sourness and emo-ness that my dearest team, F.Y.I, did not made it through .. but i also do feel that, we really gave our all and our best for this competition despite all the obstacles we faced, work/study/school/dance/exams/ commitments, and the long trips back home for most of my crewmates, i'm really proud to say, we made the best of what we had! so to my dearest F.Y.I-mates, do not be to sad yah? i know its easy for me to say, but i also feel a lil sad too! lol the irony! anyway, i loved every single second spend with everyone of y'all at SP training for this competition, it will always be in my heart and my memories! Hoped i made trainings at SP as comfortable for y'all these past few week! Like Karen said, "its not about winning, its about the process!" ♥ F.Y.I!

To my grandjuniors, Rebel, i'm really proud of y'all as well, because you all found the courage to join this competition representing SDZ, despite of all obstacles that come your way! Despite all your papers held in the period of the heats, you all never gave up and made the best of it! so kudos to all of you and do not be disheartened as well yah? You all have really grown from this competition and think of it as more time and experience to do an even dope Waves dis year! Jia You Rebel! ♥ Rebel!

To Triple T, our SYDC other half! CONGRATS YO!!!!!!!!!! y'all are the only HUSTLAS left in this game!!!! so y'all muz jia you more more! we cannot be there to travel the journey to the end with y'all and y'all muz now do it alone without us! with y'all carries all our hopes/dreams/spirit, so y'all must do well and proceed to the finals k? we will be with y'all in mind/spirit/screams/cheers/support/redbull/carrefour lunches/1.5l mineral water bottles/1.5l 100plus bottles/pong pongs/guard dogs for bags and belongings and many more! LOL! JIA YOU! ♥ Triple T!

Lastly, thank you to all who came down to support! SDZ-ians, SYDC-ians! and my dear classmate/bestest friend - HO XIN JIE! thx for your sushi and hugs! sweet stuff! I APPRECIATE ALL OF Y'ALL! sorry i hafta disappoint y'all this time! will work hard again!

everyone's leaving ..

2009-08-24T11:25:00.000-07:00

i know its part and parcel of life, where your friends come and go .. however there are just some friends, close friends, best friends, brothers, sisters, no, COMRADES, that you wish they stay with you forever through life ..

the ones that went through the thick and thin with you ..
the ones that understands you inside out ..
the ones that share their joys and sadness with you ..
the ones that celebrate your joys and be there when you are sad ..
the ones that guide and mentor you through life ..
the ones that share the same goals with you ..
the ones that work and struggle hard together with you for a common goal ..
the ones that joke and jack you ..
the ones that you joked and jacked too ..
the ones who made some point in your lives more meaningful than usual ..

yeah .. it sucks when they have to leave your side .. and seem like more of them are leaving one by one to pursue their own career path or next stage of life .. but, you just gotta give them your blessings and wish them the best for their future .. pray for their well-being and for them to be happy as well .. and look forward for the next time that you will see them again ..

just spend one last night with a close COMRADE/BROTHER/BFF? of mine, Bin, a nice dinner with some of his close comrades, who are my comrades as well, a nice simple dinner at a coffeeshop .. Bin sailed off today afternoon on board his ship and he will not be back only after at least 6 months! i still can remember clearly that night on the train somewhere after our very first Waves, Waves 11, we were having a very meaningful conversation on our hopes and dreams for the dance club, what we wanted to achieve, how we want to go about achieving it and stuff like that ... consequently after that, we always had conversations like this on trains back home .. maybe its a blessing that we live on that same way back home as well! haha! we were always thinking of the club, how to improve it, how to solve problems, what problems there were .. sure gonna miss those times! haha! }

come to think of it, i felt the same way also when Zul had to go NS, so glad that he's back in SDZ again! but then, more people are leaving still .. Melissa - studying in UK, Schizo - NS, Hanafi - NS, Instructor Daniel Yeow - in L.A dancing, all my dance batchmates and my dance seniors and classmates - in their next stage of lives .. i really miss all these people! and i treasure them alot, they'll always be in my heart ..

i don't know how to do up appreciations gifts like how Lum and sha always do for every single one of us .. but i like to say that, every dance, performances, competition, i am performing and dedicating to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! this is why i always ask people to come watch my performances and competitions, not to show off, but to entertain and dedicate to you! i really hope you all enjoy every single one of my performances!

to Bin, please take care and stay safe yah? come back soon! i look forward to seeing you again! first thing we do when we meet up, CIPHER!!!!

you made up part of my life as well, i still do miss and treasure you .. please take care!

many many birthdays!

2009-07-13T10:00:00.000-07:00

haha, tired but satisfied and happy .. its been a long time since i felt like this ..

first of all, wanna congratulate all the new juniors of SDZ for getting thru the auditions! for those who didnt get in, dun give up yah? if u really love to dance, go learn from dance studios or somebody, and try auditioning again next year k? there's nth wrong audtioning during year 2, cuz ZUL A.K.A Funky-Red, he joined the dance club during year 2 also!

the reason why i found the joy to dance again is cuz, i found motivation to go back to SDZ and dance .. i dunno why, but ever since the new bunch of seniors took over, everything about SDZ feels different, not as fun and crazy as it used too .. mayb its the way they handle the club, a new way .. i dun mean that the way they handle club is wrong or watsoever, but it just feels different la .. its not as happening and close as it used to be .. yup .. so the past few months since the poly term started, my motivation to go back to SDZ to dance was not there .. i tried to be enthusiastic as much i as i can, but i slowly find myself not going to sessions and school as early as i used too .. i find myself feeling empty with every session that i attended ..

but now, i found a new motivation to go for sessions! to teach some of the new juniors what i know about dance starting from the most basic, down beat and up beat variations! its been so long since i taught upbeat and downbeat, almost close to 2 years plus! i still can remember, teaching Sha's batch upbeat and downbeat, and everything that i noe about dance! its a really rewarding feeling after teaching what you know to someone! hope the new juniors can absorb and learn as much as they can from me and the other seniors! jia you guys! and thank you for giving me motivation to dance again! -peace-

dance madness + lots of thinking ..

Hiphop choreo from JAN/XIANG/LUM and Locking choreo from SHA! both awesome choreo, but my learning pace abit slow haha! will buck up and pull my socks, practicing hard for both choreos! will give my all for all choreos! haha! plus, i've yet to learn one more choreo, a Popping choreo by HENGTHYE/HANAFI/ME, yes me! lol apparently, i havent choreo-ed finish my part yet! bleahs! haha! working hard to finish it! finished like 4-8s, 8-8s more to choreo! haha! looking forward to choreo finish this piece! haha!

been thinking alot too .. i still wanted to know how did end up the way we were like that? for some reason, till today i still can never find any way to accept it .. i know its stupid, but i've been thinking, and somehow it doesnt add up at all ..

man, shit,
the past week was an awesome one, was one that i was looking forward to for a very long time! finally it came, and it went on really well! check it!

weds - new haircut for graduation
thurs - official sp graduation '09/steamboat/company of classmates officially for the "last time"
fri - first day of SDZ camp!
sat - second day of SDZ camp!
sun - third day of SDZ camp/ Soka Youth Dance Crew (SYDC) first ever orientation @Sentosa!

haha, awesome aint it? its like the week before, i already couldnt wait! HAHA!

although i wouldnt say i'm ultimately happy about the haircut! haha mixed feelings about the haircut ..

happy, cuz my hair is finally short, where its less hot for me especially in a crazy-ass weather like the one in SG, lol! plus, my hair will not be eating or drinking with me at the same time!

not so happy, cuz i cant seem to get used to the new haircut! haha! though i've been getting positive comments from my peeps and homies! thx y'all!

Graduation, man, sad times too .. its really the "final official" day of "class" for the students of Diploma in Interior Design 06/08! i mean i was really looking forward to this day for a really long time .. i can still remember the start of my 3rd year where i was already doing not so well in my course, i was wondering if i will ever see my graduation .. but there i was that thursday, smart in my formal wear, with a red SP tie and a graduation robe .. it shocked me that, I HAD GRADUATED! my life in SP, was like officially over .. there was no need for me to wake up early to go to school anymore, no more thinking of new designs, no more AutoCAD-ing, no more 3D modeling, no more model-making, no more messing around in the design studios with classmates, no more laughs with classmates in the design studio, no more celebration of birthdays in the design studio and many more NO MORES! *sighs* i mean i wouldnt say i missed all of it, but i definately miss the whole process of struggling together with the COMPANY OF A BUNCH OF AWESOME, CRAZY-ASSED, FUN-LOVING & SUPER ENTHUSIASTIC CLASSMATES! yes, i said it! i must say, we are quite a well-bonded batch of classmates and definately different from any diploma classes .. mad props and respect to all of y'all! and a BIG SORRY to all of y'all as well, cuz i noe i sometime do neglect y'all for my dance-related stuffs! and THANK YOU all for understanding this as well, and helping me out with my designs when i had problems! I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF Y'ALL and I'M GONNA MISS Y'ALL! shoutout to my close bros, JP, CK, Bert, Aaron, Robin, Sufi, Zul, Poh Hong and Wei Qiang! shoutout to the first bunch of DID classmates that i befriended with as well, Xin Jie, Ruiz, Hui Wen and XY!

SDZ camp, i must say, A JOB WELL DONE! haha i loved everything! from the start till the end! though i felt sad i couldnt be the for the last day to play the water games! CLs did great in handling the groups and spreading your enthusiasm to the groups! GPs, well done in all the games and logistics! well planned and well done! mad props to Sabrina, Peggie and Xiang for overseeing and planning the camp itself! I ENJOYED IT! looking forward for the next one if possible hehe!

SYDC orientation! FUN FUN FUN! HAHA! crazy-assed fun games, from ice-breaking, to team building, to scenarion games, to dance games and to WATER GAMES! hope y'all peeps had just as much fun as i did! end up totally drained from the whole crazy week! haha didnt sleep the first night of camp, i slept 4 hrs in an awkward position due to the lack of space in the studio that the GPs were sleeping in for da second night of camp! then finally going straight to SYDC's orientation and me being the gamemaster also! lol SHAGGED TO THE BALLS! well on a brighter side, i finally slept well due to the tiredness .. i havent been sleeping well ever since i finished the course of my studies in SP .. like the lyrics in Craig David's song, "feels like insomniaaaa .." I dunno why, but i take hours to fall every now and then i sleep, been thinking alot also due to that .. *sighs*

lastly, shoutout to Mr & Mrs Funksoul Quack, Sha and Mel, mad props and kudos to both of y'all for getting this far for KO Night .. I really thought you all did really well for your last battle in bringing out the character strategy! The handkerchief thingy was really unexpected! i really could felt that both of y'all were give your all and everything .. I COULD FEEL IT! so don't be disheartened! jia you! QUACK QUACK!
