Year 3, yay or nay?

HOLA!

School has reopened, how is everyone doing? I'm already Year 3, 20 this year. Oh my oh my, so old already... Anyway I've got good news!

I've tried for NRA Auditions and I've got in! I know I know, you guys confirm judging me right now.

"Wah, you Year 3 already still join NRA for what??"

For me, I guess I'm pretty much a late bloomer. Although I started bboying before I started poly and stopped for damn long, I never knew how much dance could mean to me. Only last year, I then realised it. Therefore, I'm going to learn many many techniques from many many genres to improve myself since I love to freestyle! Nobody is too late for anything right? I don't wanna stick to only bboying but that doesn't mean I will forget about bboying. I will never do that.

As a dancer, you should never ever forget your roots! Because that's where you come from, that's what you did that made you who you are today! A Bboy is a dancer, but a dancer is not a Bboy. I wanna be a dancer, but bboying will always be the first genre that I LOVE because it allowed me to know so many wonderful people who influenced me to who I am today.

Anyway, I think I'm injured lately. I don't know whether it's a physical injury but when I take deep breaths or move my body, my chest and back will feel compressed and there will be a sharp pain. Anyone had similar situations before? I need prayers guys. NP50 Charity Performance is just next week, need to recover before the performance so I will not let my fellow dancers down!

Speaking of NP50 Charity Performance, have you gotten your tickets yet?
30th April and 1st May there will be a performance to celebrate Ngee Ann Poly's 50th Anniversary! Come and watch before so many people and CCAs are performing! :D

Okay thank you guys for reading! Praise God for everything He has done in my life!

By the way, I'm updating my blog during lessons cause I'm having my IS... Mobile Robotics. No, don't ask.

KIDDING - I LOVE LEGOS.

How do you feel when you're dancing?

HEY WHAT'S UP!
MNM BAOC'2013 Performance!
Yeah, I know I know. It's been a really long time since I last updated. It's been a month. And I'll blog about my testimony another time because I have to do some changes to it.

Holidays are coming to an end and this is my last 2 months holiday I'll be able to enjoy before I graduate from Poly. "WHY? I thought still got August-October holidays??" I'll be starting my 6 months internship during September all the way to February. Yay or Nay? I really don't know but I sure am looking forward to it.

This 2 months of holiday would really be my most painful, happy, busy, tiring but FUN holiday. I honestly have gone through a lot during this period of time. From me losing my confidence and security during the beginning and me gaining it back and being able to be myself again today. Through out this 2 months, I lost a lot, but have also gained a lot. And yes, I think that included my weight as well.

I'm so happy to be able to dance almost everyday even though it's really tiring. However, I'm doing something I love which is really really amazing. I have just completed two performances of the same choreography for FOCAS & BAOC. The video will be available below! And during this period of time, I'm also training and practicing for another two choreography for NP50 performance! And it will probably be my last performance until a few months because I want to take a break to break(bboy)! Haha get it get it??

Anyway, we just had Bboy NaugtyOne's workshop in our own studio just this Monday. It was really awesome as I learned a lot from him. He's so inspiring. Never feel that you're stuck or you're not improving. If you feel that way, then you're really stuck and not improving. Do what you're doing everyday, enjoy and love this dance.

"Why get so stressed out because of dance? You dance because you love it!"
"When you feel like dancing, dance! When you don't feel like, chill!" - Bboy NaugtyOne

We also had Ken Swift Workshop earlier in March. And I have also learned about the early days and culture of Bboying. When what everyone loves to do is to dance and enjoy!

I'm really honoured and happy to be part of this dance culture. I'm really proud and this is like a dream come true. A few years ago, I was timid and reserved. I wouldn't dare to show much or be myself that much because people are watching. But dance made my inner beast, Dancing Dragon, to unleash to the fullest potential, to entertain and make people happy. I really love dancing, because it makes me feel free, it makes me be who I really am! And I'm glad I have my loved ones supporting, encouraging and motivating me in whatever I do. Thank you very much, I love all of you.

Okay, shall end off already. Stay tuned for more updates! I'm in pink jeans by the way!
