Raise the Fund-raising For Redeafination(RDF) and FunForest(FF)

I would like to write this post to express my word for this fund-raising but it’ll be long story..

I recalled how I first met the Fun Forest crew in Hong Kong on February this year, I was in blank mind when they talked in ASL(America Sign Languages). I nearly forgot the ASL because I seldom use this since 7 years ago. I managed to understand what they sign to me. I had learnt how they managed to have this deaf crew on their own. And they had inspired me by keep going on dance. They didn’t bother about their deafness whenever the hearing people had learnt about their deafness..They don’t feel any obstacle when they were practising with hearing instructors whenever they want to learn more from them when they wanted to perform on TV variety show. 

And I realized that Suki (one of FF crew), had been wanting to learn the waacking style but she couldn’t find any studios or course to learn. She had learnt that I had been waacking few times since I learnt from O school and my waacking friends in Singapore. She was keen by asking me to teach her in waacking and I was very surprised and was willing to teach her. I was happy to share the waacking tips with her.

And I had long conversation with Tony when we met in Turoquise Party. I realized how he struggled in music of beats and stage run. And I felt saddened to hear that. I was fortunate to have Redeafination and my O school Reggae Recital 2011 in these things what I had learnt alot from them in Singapore.

And I didn’t know how I feel for them when one of FF (FunForest) crew, Tony told that they had been struggling to balance their passion in dance and was trying to find the instructors to teach them more. However, I was lucky to have this long-term hearing buddy, Asyraf that we danced together by taking dance courses and open classes together in O school.

 So after you read my story, my Redeafination crew’re doing the fund-raising project to help this FF crew that we want to invite FF crew to fly over Singapore to perform together with my crew in a collaboration item at “Welcome to my World – A concert by People with Disabilities” by VSA Singapore that held on t June 2nd.

I may not know how FF crew can help out in fund-raising in Hong Kong too. Somehow, we may not know where the funds come from and we do not know how we are going to raise the money in this fund-raising. But we know that this is the right thing to do.

The video that we already have started the collaboration process with FF and made this commitment with the concert organizers. This video explains how we feel the bottom of our hearts.

Now, if you read this post, you know you can’t run away. My RDF crew are trying to raise the fund to help the dancers’ flight and accommodation.

I’m not trying to sell my words but I’m expressing the words in the bottom of my heart. We really need help we can get.

Big thanks and Love!!

Going to end of the year 2011.. See what I have done in 2011..

In this 2011 year, I had so much knowledge of dance that I had been learning in reggae, waacking and hip hop alot.. And I also went hip hop training with my Redeaf peers in O school that we were learning from Eve.. How I miss by learning from her!!

For this Reggae courses, I had learnt reggae from O school from Xuehui (O School instructor) that I went for Reggae courses and open classes. I had learnt this with my buddy asyraf and we went for Reggae open classes after the course class. It was much tiring and learning at same time. And we had made friend with our reggae course mates and we keep stay in contact often. We always hang out together in open classes often!! It was great experience to dance in this style after completed 4 months of Reggae 1 and Reggae 2 courses. My buddy and I had been going for open class every thursday to improve alot.

These gals and Asyraf are  my favourite reggae peers that I ever had fun with.

This photo is for Reggae group photo. 

After learning the Reggae courses, I continued to  learning another style of waacking in Waacking 1 and 2 courses from Bryan (O school instructor) alone. Actually, Shirly from NRA wanted to join me but in the end, she had to work in media field as this media field had alot hectic schedules. She couldn’t join me. So sad!! But it was okay that I learnt this style alone and had fun with other course mates. But we were not so close. Before I learnt the waacking courses in O School, I joined waacking master workshop which Princess Lockroo came to Singapore to share the waacking style, with my buddy, Asyraf.  I was lost abit in it as I learnt from asyraf abit in basic waacking. OMG!! But I finally understood the waacking techniques and more during my waacking courses. And I joined Asyraf to go for waacking session together and also shared with his friends there too.Even I also joined Tyrone Waacking workshop.

And there was O school audition in August 2011, I joined waacking and reggae with my buddy, Asyraf. I was selected in Reggae item and Asyraf also selected too and was in the same item as me. It was much experience to learn from there. This Reggae item had alot of drill trainings and rehearsal choreo. I had fun with some of reggae dance mates and Asyraf. It was great to dance with him on the stage on November. But the Reggae Choreographer, Carol love the inspiration that I gave her in trainings and rehearsals. 🙂 

And I learnt the house style with Redeaf peers who Michael taught us. It was fun to learn but it was much tiring for me as I had learning both house drills and reggae rehearsal item in whole day every Saturdays. It was good experience to have these 2 styles that I was learning them together.

I nearly lost the waacking style when I was having the Redeaf rehearsals because I had put alot of effort in reggae item too much. Sighz.. I managed to pull it through well. The Redeaf Street Clap went smoothly.

I realized that I had been learning these 2 type of dance styles in this year. I had been inspiring the people who I danced with hearing dancers in Reggae performance and waacking sessions alone. And I felt that my waacking style’s getting deteriorate slowly because I didn’t play with my buddy, Asyraf due to the Reggae item and the waacking sessions and reggae open classes always clashed that fell in same day on every Thursdays. 

And I realized that I drifted away from Redeafination peers since I was busy with these things above. But I still always be part of Redeafination forever. Lols.. 🙂

Next, I missed my poly classmates as I didn’t graduate because I had few modules that didn’t complete. So I had to continue to finish these modules. How sad that I didn’t graduate with them together.. Sighz..

This is Doreen that she always be there to support me and talk in nonsense things..

Year 2- We learn the Green buidling technology in NLB at Bugis

Photos were taken in Year 1

But I missed Alex (below) that he had passed away in 2010 when we were in Yr 2. He died from getting in motorbike accident in Malaysia- Singapore Expressway. He was GREAT class leader that I ever met. He was older than me but he encouraged me to study hard in my studies.

Time had flies very fast! I had met great friends that I ever met this year. This 2011 year that I had alot of learning and share with people who I know. It was much fun to share.. And I was dancing with them alone despite of my hearing condition. Thanks to my buddy, Asyraf that he keep inspiring me alot and pushing me to limit by playing in freestyle of waacking and reggae with me  and show me alot in dance styles.

As for the 2012 year, I maybe want to change new things and also change my schedule. I think that I go for open classes in O school once a week because I feel negative to my family and close friends. And I definitely won’t join in O school Recital 2012 because I need time to breathe. And of course, I always go for Redeafination trainings every Saturdays as it’s my 2nd family!!! 😀  This year is my FINAL LAP of SP Life that I must complete!! I need BREAK from Poly life! I want to travel to Japan or Korea after I graduate!! And I need to find GOOD JOB AND GOOD PAY!!! Go for it!!! 😀

I just came back to SG from my China trip..

On 10 Dec, I went to Pasir ris to meet some of Redeaf peers to go to our friend (Calista) ‘s 21st birthday at the bungalow house. I didn’t know how she booked it. Lols..

It was DOPE show!  After the show, I bumped into Carol (Osch reggae instructor), Jasmine(waacking friend) and Ann Tan (NRA senior) there.. Lols.. 😀  See the photos.

Before I fly to China on 22 Dec, After my Street Jazz open class in O school on 21 Dec with my buddy, Asyraf  , I rushed home without him. He went with my reggae coursemates, Sihui and Huijing for supper. I had to reach home before 11pm and had to pack some stuffs in my luggage. I was very busy to find nice videos to upload and transfer to my phone so that I can watch them on plane. I was researching the videos, my favourite aunt appeared suddenly and gave me the surprise gift. I was shocked that I had not received any Christmas gifts for ages. Lols… I wonder what was the surprise gift that she wrapped it. She asked me to open the gift with her devil smile.. I wonder why she showed me her devil smile.. Zzz.. I opened the gift and was SHOCKED and HAPPY at the same time!! The gift was Canon Ixus 115 HS.. WOW!!

OMG!! I really LOVE THIS CAMERA.. She said that I must use of it for my CHINA TRIP.. WOOOO!!!! I LOVE IT!! I had no time to read the detail of the camera. I was busy finding the videos.

Next, I fly to China to visit my grandma’s relatives and my mom’s late mother’s relatives for 5 days.. It was quite boring but I yearned wanting to go to my distant cousin’s chick farm and his chilli farm because the scenery was so beautiful there.. And I kept asking my mom whether when can I visit the chick farm. So she said we go there soon. I finally wanted to see there.  I heard from my sister that his chilli farm was gone as he had no time to plant it.. So sad!! He only planted peanut and rice farm.. Sighz!! but I asked my mom to ask my distant cousin whether I want to ride his motorbike. He said ok..  HORRAY!! I had not been sit on his motorbike for ages since I was there last 3 or 4 years ago. Lols.. I love the ride that he drove in his bike! Lols.. When we arrived, I was shocked to see the chick had grow big and bigger like adult.. OMG!! I had not seen so many chicken there!! It was more 6000 chickens.. WOW!!! I last seen the little chick last time and I realized that times flies so fast.. Lols!! I kept taking photo of them!!And I felt something with my shoes and I looked down and realized that this chicken kept pricking to my shoe.. I wonder what this chicken was doing with my shoe. My sister and mom was laughing.. =.=!! So cute of this chicken!! Haha.. And the weather in another part of Haikou was quite cold and windy. My face kept feeling itch and dry. My relatives said that my face look red and look tanned.. OMG!! I kept applying the moisture cream but it didn’t work out. So sad!! Anyway,there were load of photos. But I’m lazy to upload them in my facebook. Lols.. 🙂

Many things to learn..

It’s time to write my blog here.. I haven’t update my blog so long since I was busy with recital performance and Redeafination Street Clap performance. It was much tiring to dance whole day in every Saturdays. And I was having mid-semester test week and it was over last 2 weeks ago.  

Hmmm.. I’m thinking how to start in this post. Let’s see what I write here for this year..

 First, But it was much experience to learn the drill trainings from reggae recital rehearsal as it was my first time to dance with hearing dancers in reggae recital item alone. There was always ups and downs in this recital rehearsals after the drill trainings in first few weeks since I first started to have the trainings. It was about 3 months to learn the style of reggae. But it was good experience that I was dancing with them. And I also performed with my buddy, Asyraf in the same item. It was quite much fun and had learnt alot of things together. And it was BIG RECITAL SHOW that I ever danced on the stage with my buddy, Asyraf and the rest of my recital item mates on 26 and 27 Nov.

(Above) She always there to practice with me alone every session for recital rehearsal!! ❤

These nice friends that I ever had know them for 4 years! ❤

Second- I finally performed with my beloved Redeafination on the stage in my actual birthday date (2 dec) which fell on Friday. I had not dance with them on the stage for ages this year. I had been busy with coming exams/tests and O school audition. Sighz.. It was much fruitful show that I ever danced with them. I had to do waacking solo in first time. But my waacking solo went smoothly!! After the show, I kept watching the video that one of my Redeaf mate video-ed us many times. And I had alot of laughters and fun with my Redeaf peers during dinner time. It was ages that I last had laugh with them. And I received my best friend, huiqing to wish me birthday greeting. I was VERY HAPPY to see her SMS message that I last had seen her messages long time ago but I didn’t update her so long. Before the performance, my tweets, facebook  and SMS had flooded with birithday greetings by my sweet friends/dancers.

(Above) My waacking item in Redeafination

Thirdly, I received my best friend, huiqing after my Street Clap performance on 6 dec, her paternal mother had passed away on my actual birthday. Little wonder that she text-ed me to greet me birthday greeting. And I had some weird feelings before I go up to stage on that day. Sadly, I didn’t pay her a visit in her funeral. Sighz.

Huiqing,

Sorry that I didn’t know what was going on. But you were much thoughtful to text me to wish me birthday greeting while you were mourning your late grandma. No matter, I always be your best friend to lend you a listening ear…

 Fourth, I had a shocking new from my sister when she whatsapp-ed me last Wednesday (14 Dec)  while I was on the way home after I felt fed-up to travel in wasted trip to school. I couldn’t take it that my uncle which was my mom’s side, had passed away in few hours ago.  I texted my best friend, Waybian and my SP best friend about what had happened. I kept tweeting in emo feelings but didn’t mentioned my uncle’s name Before I went for open classes, I kept going to his wake to help out the funeral. I danced to forget the emotional feelings but I couldn’t breathe and cried in my heart silently. When I went for open classes and his waacking rehearsal with Asyraf from Wednesday to Friday, Asyraf didn’t know what was going on and he kept irritating me to cheer me up. I couldn’t laugh at his lame jokes but I put little smile when I talked to him.

Last Saturday, I went to UWB (United World Boogie) workshop with my buddy, Asyraf . We took Jazz Funk from US choreographer. It was VERY DOPE and I felt liking his style so much.. So yeah!! But this workshop was like advanced level and show much STYLE FEELINGS.. But I felt that the choreographer did his choreo which was not so fast but has some sharp movements. I was able to learn very fast.. Cool!!

After this, I went to Jurong to help out and had stay overnight as the last wake’ll be on Sunday. It was much tiring but he always remembered by me and my mother’s side, My cousins and I were doting by him and kept encouraging us whatever we do. And he always do fengshui for us to stay away from bad luck.

My late uncle Robin,

I couldn’t take it after hearing shocking news from my sister. You always remembered by me.. Each day, your laughters and encouragements came to my mind during your wake. I couldn’t describe the words how you doted me alot whenever I was naughty little girl when I was young and kept asking my mother everyday what I was doing during my days. How can I forget every single of you that you  give me.  I LOVE YOU, MY UNCLE!!  May you rest peacefully…

I’ll continue to next post about gifts and more… Stay tune!! 🙂

It’s first time to feel frustrated that I ever feel over the dance matter.

Yesterday, I was much EXHAUSTED AND FRUSTRATED over what I had learnt THE BIG MISTAKES that I ever did. When I was dancing with Redeaf gals in waack item. I just realized that I made the wrong timings and didn’t make the interpretation of this item. And I felt that I wasted Jason and Nix’s time by getting the correct timings and match the music. And Nix was trying to count the beats with the music while I danced with her. Jason also helped me to see the timings whether I danced in the correct timing with music. I danced umpteen times to let Jason to count with the music alone. And I danced full-out in waack item umpteen times. And Jason and Nix gave the different perspective in their thoughts to each other. I felt guilty by causing them nearly argue to each other.

Sorry Jason and Nix,

I might not be a good choreographer and I was learning the choreo from my buddy. I didn’t know the definition of choreography. I just realized that the choreographer had alot of things to get details and to make the dancers to understand the interpretation of item. And I really thanked you guys for helping me alot.. 🙂 

After finish dancing at 11pm, I went home and I was whatsapp-ing my buddy in frustrated mood. I nearly argued with him and I felt as I was useless choreographer but I know that it would be the first time to be a hearing impaired choreographer. But it’s not easy to be a choreographer when it comes to make a choreography for dancers to understand the interpretation of choreography. 

On way home, I thought of what Nix explained to me about the choreography details. I nearly cried and felt that there was no point to crying as It was my BIG MISTAKES!!..

Today, I google the definition of choreographer and it’s different meaning but I read and need to understand how the dancers want to become choreographers to get their passion in dance.

The definition of the choreographer is about..

Complex movements and dances on stage and screen do not happen without a lot of hard work. Dancers spend years learning dances and honing skills, as do most choreographers. Together, they then translate those skills into movement that expresses ideas and stories.

Dancers perform in a variety of settings, including opera, musical theater, and other musical productions, and may present folk, ethnic, tap, jazz, or other popular kinds of dance. They also perform in television, movies, music videos, and commercials, in which they may sing and act. Dancers most often perform as part of a group, although a few top artists perform solo.

Choreographers create original dances and develop new interpretations of existing dances. They work in theaters, dance schools, dance and movie studios, and at fashion shows, and are involved in auditioning performers for dance parts. Because few dance routines are written down, choreographers instruct performers at rehearsals to achieve the desired effect, often by demonstrating the exact technique. Choreographers also work with performers other than dancers. For example, the complex martial arts scenes in movies are arranged by choreographers who specialize in the martial arts. Choreographers also may help coordinate costume design and lighting, as well as choose the music and sound effects that convey the intended message.

And there is another interpretation of how to appreciate the music. : –

Tips

  • Appreciating and liking are two completely different things. Listen to all sorts of music, even if some of it might not be your absolute favorite. You don’t have to like the music, just listen to it and try to understand it. Listen to a little bit of everything, from Bach to Billie Holiday to Less Than Jake to Liquid Tension Experiment to Michael Buble to Slayer.
  • Most songs are written for a reason. There is usually a message being sent. If you don’t understand it upon first listening to a song, look up the lyrics. This is hard to do in classical music, as there are not necessarily any lyrics. For that, you have to try a little harder when you listen.
  • Don’t criticize the first time you listen. Just sit back and let it wash over you. If you start complaining or griping, you have no hope of appreciating it.
  • Do your best to expose yourself to new kinds of music. Go out and buy a random used CD or listen to a different radio station each day. Go on sites like allmusic.com, pandora.com, myspace, or purevolume.com to find new bands.
  • Research underground music or listen to garage rock/pirate radio stations. These types of music are usually unique and tend to expose you to different.ideas and styles. Research music like ska, two-tone, and experimental. All of those less popular genres will help you to better your understanding of different music.
  • Don’t limit yourself to “Pop” music. Go for some opera, classical, jazz, electronic, reggae, and heavy metal, too. Also, look up music from different countries.

I just learn how the choreographer work on these details that they are creating the choreography to dance in the stage. Anyway, Sorry that I write in long post. Hope that it can work on you when you want to be a choreographer. 🙂

New life what I see and feel there..

I want to update this post to remind myself how I feel in this new life.. Sometimes there’s much obstacles that I face in myself.

On 20 Aug, after Redeafination training, I was very NERVOUS when I was on way to O school for the 1st lesson in reggae item rehearsal. When I arrived, I saw the familiar people who I met them in Reggae open class every Thursdays and I looked at them, they looked calm and felt relax. Actually, it was the first time I dance with the hearing dancers in this reggae item. When my item instructor, Carol came in and she guided us in drill training but the training was much TOUGHER as I expected.. Asyraf was in the same item as me but I danced with some of dancers in right side while Asyraf danced with one of my course mate in other side. I didn’t dance with Asyraf as close in where we dance, because I was focusing on reading Carol’s lips and was trying to get the correct point of training. After training, I was sweating alot.. The training was MUCH GOOD to learn more.. I LOVE IT!!!

After training, some of reggae dancers wanted to have chill and was having supper together. So we went to Wendy”s at Wheelock, that gal dancer wanted to have fun photos to put in her FB album.. Lols.. See here..

(above the photo) She encouraged me and wanted to know abit about me. Lols..

Next training on 27 August (Saturday) , Carol taught us the new drill training which I do the floor back roll and more.. It was much fun to learn in new things… And some of dancers also helped me by practice together.. So yeah.. It was much FUN!! We kept doing these trainings and we were happy to learn more.. After training, we were much exhausted and wanted to go home early.. Lols..

Next few days, the bonding in this reggae item that I interact with, I slowly learnt that it might be hard to adapt this new life in myself. Sometimes that I hardly think what kind of topic I talk with them. I feel that I become more quiet and listen to what they were talking about. Somehow, I was much tired by reading their lips when they were talking but I must do my best to put in more determination as it’ll be tough for me to do that. I know that it will be short time to interact with them as it’s 3rd day of O sch reggae item. But it will take some time to adapt in this new life. I want to dance with them in this new life as I love to learn the reggae style..

In Redeafination training, I always use sign languages to let my eyes to take a break from read lips where I always read my reggae item dancers’ lips alot. And I need to improve my sign languages as my sign languages are abit messy. Lols!!

Had some thoughts and come to the right decision..

Last Saturday (30July) , I was having RDF training which was in fun comtempt jazz.. Ricky told us that he wanted to test us how we do in our energy level.. He choose ppl in different group. I was with 2 gals, Gabrielle and Adelynn in a group.. When it came to my group’s turn, Gabrielle do the action as small to big. I had to hold her legs but I was trying to push to my energy level to be high but my arms became more stronger.. And Adelynn tried to hold her body..  my arms were getting ache alot.. After doing this, Gabrielle won the game and Ade and I had to push up in 5 times. When I was doing push ups, my arms suddenly went weaker and can’t hold and I collapsed after I do 3times push ups. And I felt that my arms were aching so much..After his class ended, I continued having RDF training..

After training, I had fun by chatting with Angeline that I had not seen her for long time.. When we reached Bishan Junction for our dinner, I felt that my muscle arms were getting tight abit.. GOSH!!

Next day, 31 July (sun), in the early morning, my right arm suddenly got cramp and it woke me up at 4am .. I couldn’t sleep as it ached so hard.. I stretched abit and finally went to bed.. What a scare!! I woke up at 8am and felt that my arms were getting weaker.. I was very anxious by thinking how will I going to dance in waacking audition later.. Sighz!!

I was meeting Asyraf in MRT at 12noon and we went to Oschool for audition. Reaching O school, I was very shocked to see many ppl were practising hip hop choreo for audition.. OMG!! It nearly about 170 ppl in this hip hop audition.. It gave me more NERVOUS!! I came early to give my support to one of my reggae mate, huijing as she was taking hip hop audition.. I went top level with asyraf and the rest of my reggae friends to practice the reggae choreo.. I was going to stretch and my muscle arms were tight.. I was trying to make them to loose the energy by stretching harder..  I felt better..

When the reggae audition came, I was feeling little nervous and Ryan came to the studio and told us,” relax and practice the item and remember to groove and do some freestyle before the choreo start. As for now, it’s practice.. so do it for 2 rounds.. All the best!! “. I was about to start and Jason’s words suddenly came to my mind.. His words taught me to hear the beats and try to practice the beats by hear the music with my hands and count the beats.. And Nix’s words suddenly came to my mind  too.. Her words said, ” listen to the beats, feel the beats then you can dance in groove.. It was long time ago that they said to me.. I listened to the music and slowly felt the beats and count.. My number was R18.

When the judges, Carol and Xuehui was about to start the audition.. I was recalling what Jason and Nix’s words so I counted on my own.. No one gave the cue. When my turn came, I tried to calm down and feel the music.. When the choreo came, I started to feel relax and groove well.. But I did well!!! Phew!!!

After Reggae audition, I suddenly cried because my arms were getting weak and I was lost and didn’t know whether I should continue to take waacking audition.. Few of my reggae mates encouraged me to take even my arms were abit aching.. So My reggae course mate, Akemi were encouraging me and pulled me to register the waacking audition.. And I prayed harder that my arms went okay..

When the waacking audition came, I told asyraf that my arms were getting abit worse.. He told me to stretch more.. Sighz.. I stretched many times before the audition started. It were going to begin and I was nervous and my number was W47.. I had more time to warm up.. After Asyraf’s turn ended, I listened to music again and again.. I slowly got the beats correct. When my turn came, I prayed that my arms went smoothly.. I was doing turning down and up part, my arms could hold well.. PHEW!! But I did quite well in the waacking choreo.. What a relief.. After finishing this audition, Bryan called my number to check whether my name match to this number.. (-.-!!!! ) He was done with the audition, he saw me and showed the BIG SMILE.. I smiled back and was tired.. Lols!! I knew that I can’t got in this waacking item for sure..Asyraf patted me.. hahaha..

After waacking audition, I saw Akemi outside the studio and she waited for me with her friends.. What a sweet and caring of her!! Love her!!

I was kinda upset and told her what happened in the studio what I made small mistakes in choreo… She said,” you did quite well as you already improved alot”.. 🙂    We were on way to Heeren, Asyraf said to me, ” you did well but the beginning of timing, your timing went off on that beginning part. And the rest of choreo, you did well.. ” WOW!! I didn’t know that he gave me some complient.. Lols!! We sat at Subway, my arms were getting weaker and couldn’t lift not so much.. Sighz!!!! We had fun by talking in jokes while May came to find us. Lols.. It was much fun to chat with my Reggae course mates!!

Next day, 1st Aug (mon), the results’ll be out at night but I was focusing on my sch work and wanted to forget about the audition results.. My reggae mates kept tweeting about that as they were MUCH NERVOUS.. I tweeted them to relax.. At night, I received the message from my buddy, Asyraf, and he said, ” WE MADE IT!!!! SO HAPPY!!!! ” I kept wondering who he was referring to “we”.. But he was referring to himself and me…  I went to check audition results and was SHOCKED to see my name in the list.. I was actually happy but felt “mixed- feeling”. One of my reggae mate who didn’t register the audition, texted me that she heard from May that my name was in list.. She was SUPER ELATED to hear that.. Lols… I told her that I felt “mixed-feeling”  and explained what I thought of my hearing.. She understood my situation and encouraged me to take it as it’ll be BIG CHALLENGE for me to dance on stage… I felt touched!!

And some of my dance friends messaged me in Fb Chat to congrat me for getting in the Oschool Item.. 🙂  And my favourite friend, Akemi couldn’t get in and I heard from May that she didn’t reply her in sms as May messaged her many times..Sighz..

Next morning (2 Aug, tuesday) , I tweet-ed her by saying, ” what happen?” She saw my tweet and texted me by sms and I realized that she was crying in whole night. OMG!! I texted her,” you will always have many chances when she can go for dance again..Keep dancing on.. Don’t give up!! ” She agreed.. Lols..

Next day (wednesday), I had lunch with Geeta and she saw my tweets and encouraged me to take it.. She said, ” I’ll support you when you dance on the stage!! ” WOW!!! I was so TOUCHED!! I just made my decision to join the O sch Item for first try..

Yesterday, I went to scape and waited for Asyraf.. I was feeling abit unwell… And I sat and watched some dancers to do their sessions.. When Asyraf reached and found me where I sit. We went to check which Item we’ll be in. Asyraf was VERY ELATED to see his name in the Reggae list and my name was there also in same item with him.. OMG!! He said, ” I’m VERY HAPPY TO DANCE WITH YOU..”  I gave him the look- (o.O!!?!)  Lols.. And he checked the ppl’s names in waacking item and he was relieved that he didn’t join waacking item with his friend.. T.T!!!

I realized and told him, ” I never had dance with you so long since 2007 that my best friend, Nazmi persuaded me to join the ex-crew to have the performance in Tampines which Asyraf was in this ex-crew performance.. I was reluctant because my exam was coming to the corner during my ITE Tamp days..   It was 4 years ago already.. WOW!! You finally dance with me in same item.. ARE YOU HAPPY to dance with me?? ” He said, ” True… yes!! I’M HAPPY!! ” (-.-!!!)

After checking the item, we went to my sch to have waacking workshop and It was an eye-opener for me to know that Tryone who taught Princess Lockroo as she was his former student.. WOW!! I had learnt alot from him.. Love it!!
