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!!
