Simple Life

Finally the dance explosion audition just ended. After 3 weeks of hectic schedules and straining of muscles, we finally ended our audition at Sengkang CC. Being part of Fantastic Boys is kinda awesome. I got to see all sorts of different personalities and how we overcome last minute choreography. On the competition date itself, we even create steps for the transition part. With our sleeveless white shirt with black cargo, we looked like some enthusiastic construction workers. The fantastic girls wore ghetto clothing which looked hot on them. Anyway, as soon as my team entered the theater, we give a full blast energy! The feeling was great though there were minor cock ups. After the whole audition, the judges commented that they enjoyed our performance but…. if we got into finals we NEED to change our costumes. LOL. I’m so proud of us as a team.

The past few weeks have been really tiring because i had to juggle between school, dance rehearsals and graduation day rehearsal. Talking about graduation day, it’s tomorrow!!! I’ll be singing for ALL sessions which is Truly Madly Deeply straining my voice. It’s crazy because we’re given 1 week of excuse letter from 7am to 9pm! I hope the singers and the dancers [from dance company] will do a great performance to the graduates for all the sessions. Although i’ve been eating all the plain food and plain water, i hope it give wonders to my voice!! lol.

Actually, i’m more stress about my project work. There’s 5 current project in which 3 of them need to be submitted my this week. Barcode design, model using catridge paper, colour studies part 2, 800 words on the painting at SAM, and the egg holder that we need to design. Wow. Whatever la. I’ve been through tougher times so this is really easy peasy for me [trying to convince myself].

I realised that being in design is not difficult but it’s more time consuming. When i was in Food Science, i can just read my notes anywhere…be it the MRT, toilet [fav place to study] or during free period. Now it’s hard to take out a piece of paper and draw in the MRT or construct some model in the toilet. In any case, i still prefer this course to the former.

I’ve been wanting to step out of StageArts for a very long time, but my inner self refuses to leave. After almost giving up, i still feel that there’s still hope. Although it pissed me off watching how they strictly want the training to be serious but not everyone is doing it including themselves. My next hope for the club is hip hop hunt. We either make it or break it. I really wished we were as good as our alumnis who give a name to this club. Whatever it is, even when i first step into the club, i have 1 thing on my mind. I want to make a difference. Perhaps that’s the reason why i always feel sad when i went for training because i felt that i have yet make a difference. sigh. On a brighter note, i enjoyed going to drama. Some of the alumnis feel that we improved from the previous batch [elated at the same time jumping on my bed]. I feel that my batch of drama members [excluding me] has individual talent and when those talent combined, it made them looked like a team. Nevertheless, i hope that we will never be complacent and always learn to amplify our talent. Psss… i still can’t figure out when is the national drama competition!

These days i’ve been singing and listening to all the old songs which reminds me so deeply of my late dad. think my singing abilities come from my dad. It’s been almost a year and i’m missing him so much. Sigh..

I’ll update my blog again once i’m really free.

 

Stress Mode

I had never been sooo busy in my life before. There’s too many upcoming events, competitions, projects, work etc.etc. I feel stupid for not thinking twice before taking up those commitments.

Anyway i feel relieved since my 5-week work assignment at CHIJ OLGC ended. It’s kind of a bittersweet memory.  To be able to sleep for up to 5 hours daily and having to wake up latest at 5am to go to work is insane! But to be able to interact with the kids and able to share my knowledge is priceless. I seriously missed them!

Currently i’m preparing for upcoming Dance Explosion competition with my external crew. I feel very tense whenever i learn the choreos. First, i’m pretty slow. Second, i feel very inferior because the rest of my dance mates catch things faster and able to deliver it without fail. And the competition is 2 weeks in time! Argh.

Apart from that, i’m forming a team for this year’s hip hop hunt. This time, i need to seriously think of the casting due to the experience during danceworks training. We need to gain back RESPECT from the other groups and outsiders who feel that we’re mediocre and interestingly uninteresting. That is why i planned to choreograph steps soon. With the new software downloaded, i can officially announce that i can mix songs! YAY. Anyway, i hope i chose the right group of people. As long as they have the dying passion [quoted from Rabiah] and the right attitude, it’s good enough for this competition.

Currently, i’m going for vocal lessons every saturday and sunday to prepare for this year’s batch of graduation day. We have to sing in quartets with the song ‘flame’ by a FEMALE singer. It’s quite a killer song because for a guy who needs to sing a girl song, it’s gonna strain my voice like nobody’s business. So whenever i go for the class, i’ll feel scared because i know that my greatest enemy is my higher pitch. There were couple of times where my voice breaks in the middle. Tsk Tsk. Now i have to seriously avoid oily food or my voice is not gonna play its part. I seriously need a nice sleep before i could sing with my full range. Perhaps…8 hours? I hope i can sleep longer.

The ultimate killer is currently StageArts nite. It’s a nite that caters to all freshies who just joined StageArts. We’re supposed to create a show for them…something like that. As a host/dancer/actor i hope i can manage my time well because the event is on this Friday and i have no idea what the script is all about and i am currently fearful of the selection of dance item. ARGH. Consider this plus my dance item in my external crew and the need to memorise my pitch during the harmonising part for graduation nite…at the same time trying to polish up my projects. Wow. So many things things to do…so little time.

I am S to the T to the R to the E to the S to the S!

Anyway my decision to quit StageArts is pending after a very hurtful comment about the club from an outsider.
