Ultra Late Danzation Post

Okay now its my turn muahaha

Its been a really rushed production
yet the scale is doubly huge
In one of the previous post i said its going to rock this island
it just did :)

Am i going to miss this experience?
Hell yea! haha so much things that we've been through
Really alot of shit
Worst than Fantazia. And i thought Fantazia was tough

The process of coming up with Storyline,
The Mis-understandings,
The Stress,
The Workload,
The Self Management,
The Injuries,
The Shortage of Time,
The Practices,
The Family Problems,
The Discipline,
The Responsibility....

All this shit add up can make you want to:
- jump down
- die
- give up
- dont give a shit about anything

Im glad We didn't :)

Alot of people break down
Alot of people argue
Its the true story behind all these happy faces
Yet everytime shit happens, we see each other Grow
Grow as a person
As a Human Being
As a Dancer

The true intention of this club
"To develop each individual to its fullest"

Its truly Magical to see that the simple
Innocence of the Desire to Dance and Perform
Could push one to their potential
Could push one to keep going to that others could fill this need

This club is filled with alot of good people
We are really blessed
I feel blessed to be a part of the family
Thanks to all for accepting me :)
It was tough, but its all worth it

To Ann,

THE BIGGEST DANCE PRODUCTION EVER!!!

its time for the magic words to come out
whenever something like this comes near
and alot of things seems unprepared

"MAKE IT OR BREAK IT!!"

and never ever ever once that it broke
the possibility is always there
but damn it the club never fails to dissapoint
sometimes these last minute things will be the worst
time of our life. But when its over, im sure all of
us will look back and go like,
"Damn...We actually made it.." and then start to talk
about the shit we went through and laugh it out

haha so fun!

"The sun don't shine forever,
As long as it's here,
Then we might as well shine together."

"Better now then never,
Performance before pleasure,
NRA and the Fam
Who you know do it better."

"Yeah Right No Matter What We Air Tight"

The Truth

Truth is
Its all a Lie

Honestly I Am:

Tired
Sick
Demotivated
Demoralised
Literally fuck up

I always think back to why I start in the first place
Always get me back on my feet. Its not working.
I love to dance. I dun mind choreographing.
But to come to a stage where it turns into a responsibility
No man. Im not ready.
The truth is I dun Want to do it

I dont think its fair to ask so much of someone
When he/she does not have the desire to do it
Knowing someones capabilities and pushing them is good
They will be able to show their full potential
But whats the use if we push but the person doesnt want to do it
Its their own decision
And everyone have the right to want to do something or not
And if we keep pushing and give them more stress and negativity
We are just doing more harm then good

Alot of things are Obligations
I dun understand what is support anymore
Encouragement and words is worthless
All I wanna do is Dance
Express. Moving to melody. Care about my own improvement
Its just me. I want me back.

Interprete this post however you want

Call me selfish

Lao Sai = Shit till very wet wet

Today
is
the
day
I
saw
2008 Best Choreography

It even deserve 2 middle fingers by Terence!!

His choreography never ever fails to impress
And shit its freaking fun to do
haha
Props and Respect to this people

Too Dope already

Also Thanks to Danzation and Ann's Brilliant idea
It has been a breakthrough for me lol
I have never taken dance class by anybody else other
Than the ones in NRA studio
And because of Danzation, I suddenly like take a lot
Of outside classes. Feels good man. Its different.

The End

Okay okay I shall stop typing lol
Way too many words liao
haha till the next time I visit my blog LOL

Peace and Love to all
GOD Bless :)

Soul

Man, my knee is acting up again
Always happen during this kind of times
Need to rest
Sigh

I miss alot of things
Sophan, WJ and me were talking abt scouting
haha how I miss pioneering

I miss sessioning too
So much fun and so much bullshit haha
When we grow up, things just gets more boring I guess
But I still love dancing
Be it any styles
The ability to just rock to any song
Love man

Sometimes people talk about they getting stress over dance
Taking so much of their time and complaining about it
And blame dancing for alot of things
I feel that it so unfair to blame dancing like that

If in your opinion that Dancing is the blame to all your shit
Then you should stop
Why continue on something that brings you more negativity

Others who have dance for some time might question themselves
"Is it difficult to enjoy dancing now?"
When we all first started, everything was carefree and easy
But the longer we grow, the expectation of standards elevates

To me its Never difficult to enjoy dancing
To those that feel its difficult to enjoy it,
The cause is the nature of seeking for improvement
Dancing is never difficult to enjoy
Its the feeling of being stuck, inferior to others or expectations
That are causing the downside

But somehow its this Love for the art that have us improving on it
Yet we must never ever forget the essence of,
Why we Start in the first place? And Why did we continue?
Its all Love

Every new style that I learn
Every new moves that I discover
Gives me Fire and a different Heartbeat to this form
Its never gonna stop

Peace all :)

Last night I saw you in my dreams, Now I can't wait to go to sleep.
Last night I saw you in my dreams, Now I can't wait to go to sleep.
My m-m-m-m Mama

I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you an a
Let me tell you what I’m about to do
Mama, You know I act a fool but, I promise you I’m goin back to school an
I appreciate what you allowed for me, an a

I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn’t give me a curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that mommy cant you see?
Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
Cuz somebody cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said mommy Imma love you till you don’t hurt no more
And when I’m older, you aint gotta work no more
And Imma get you that mansion that we couldn’t afford
See you’re, unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that’s makin loot
A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you

Mama, I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you an a
Let me tell you what I’m about to do
Mama, You know I love you so an, I never let you go an I wrote this song just so you know no matter when you go

Last night I saw you in my dreams, Now I can't wait to go to sleep.
Last night I saw you in my dreams, Now I can't wait to go to sleep.
Last night I saw you in my dreams, Now I can't wait to go to sleep.

This life, is all a dream, an my real life starts when I go to sleep.
My m-m-m-m Mama

Respect

Respect can be for alot of things
But for now Im going to talk about Respect for the STAGE

The stage is where we(dancers) channel our expression and
work of art to the people. It is the platform that gives us
this special oppurtunity. Yet it is our friend and it can
also be our worst enemy.

Be it in any form, Competition or Performance, Respect has
to be given where it is due. One would question how to give
a flat piece of surface Respect?

Answer: Easy, Put up a good performance.

Doing it is another thing. Effort has to be put in. Sweat has
to drip.

- Angles must be Clean
- Formation cannot be Messy
- Traffic is Clear
- Costumes are Fresh
- Routine is Tight

The Stage deserve a good and sincere performance.

Thats Respect.

Someone once told me, "Dont dance for yourself, Dance for
others, Dance for Him"
It gave me and my buddies new motivation, new light, new direction.

What about you? What do you think?
"Dance for others, Dance for Him"

Lord please have Sympathy
And Forgive my Past my History
as

For Allegra, My Juniors, Danzation, Myself

SAWADIKAP, Allegra kap..
This one is for you kap kap kap
How does the kap start kap? Ronnies fault lar kap
But now he go army kap but still call back kap
Great to hear from him kap
Hear him say about the food kap
Its like KAP PUI!! okay kap
Hope you like this Allegra kap pun tong
Time for more serious stuff kap ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To all NRA juniors, I cant say it to all of you personally as there are really alot of you haha
But i want to say that i am really PROUD and glad that i have you guys as my juniors
You guys improve so much!! and i can see that you guys push
I think at the rate you guys are pushing is really bloody fast that got me thinking, "Damn! I got to freaking buck up" haha
But also dont be complacent with what you have. If you guys can push so fast, imagine what the newer batch are capable of
I hope i have help out with some of you with your improvement. I try whenever i can if I see something that you guys can work on, I will tell you guys.
I dunno whether I have been too straight and might have offended some of you. If I did, I APOLOGIZE. SO SO SORRY
Oh yes one more very important thing...

Guys and Girls, PLEASE CONDITION YOUR BODY!!

I think this message have not been properly brought across to everybody.
We all push to improve but there is just that much our body can take and it needs rest
And if you see your fren is doing something wrong that can possibly hurt him/her, please tell them

Condition means rest, plenty of rest, stretching (warm ups and cool down which alot of people dont do), massages, vitamins and many more

Just dont hurt yourself aite. getting hurt means no dance for a few weeks
trust me, you will get bloody itchy one

Everytime I watch a class, I will observe you guys and I am really surprise that you've grown so much.
Not only dance wise, but also mindset. Maturity comes with time

So yeah dont get complacent okay. Once that takes over you, you will die haha
So remember to practice your basics, condition your body and dont forget the element of fun too :)
Seriously, I AM PROUD of ALL OF YOU, you, YOu, yOU, YoU, You, yOu, yoU

Last note from me to you guys. "Don't Rush. It comes with time" ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danzation this year
is MuthaF***king HUGE

Loads of things to do
Loads of responsibility

Scared, Nervous, Stress, EXCITED

Just wait for it Singapore
Its going to rock this Island

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A while ago It was a Breakthrough

Breakthrough : An act of overcoming or penetrating an obstacle or restriction, A major achievement or success that permits further progress

Now its back to Basics
I cant see myself
I am grateful that I have You to look out for me
Yet again I can't keep relying on someone
I have to irritate myself
I got to start irritate myself
Please FD push. Push you bitch

_ _ _ _ _ : Lacking ease of movement

Long post eh. Hope you guys get bored.
eh I mean not bored LOL

Cheers Peeps

Right From Wrong

I dont understand how some people can stoop so low.
Maybe if they are desperate then can be excused i guess
But when nothing is wrong, then why do that
Where is their Conscience

Conscience -

is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong. It leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values. It is also the attitude which informs our moral judgment before performing any action.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blackjack has succeeded to proceed to the freaking SEMIFINALS!!!!!

So proud of this guys. They have come a long way and both of them really Killed it for the night. Ken and Allegra.

It's also NRA's first ever battle victory!! haha History in the making eh

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good Luck and All the Best to one of Sushi's Best:

RONNIE BECAUSE HE IS GOING INTO ARMY!!!!

Jia You bro. Come back for dance aite. Don't leave us alone. It won't be the same without you or any of the Sushi's haha

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every man has his own destiny; the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
-- Henry Miller

Sushi

How it all started -

It was when 3 guys were crazy enough to join a fun dance battle at Butter Factory. So they started preparing one day before. But unfortunately one of us, Alex, couldn't be down. So Ore step in to help and end up it was him, Ron and me to represent. It was funny as Ore's objective for this Butter Factory Party was to "Lepak". But end up he gotta sweat it out.

So came to the battle, we still didn't have a name. When the MC ask for our group name, Ore came up with "Sushi". Reason = all of us were freshies at that time and sushi is serve fresh.
Thats it.
Thats all to it. Random
From there on Sushi is us.
Ronnie, Ore, Farid, Alex

This crew keeps each other motivated and push each and everybody to improve. Most importantly we don't forget the element of having fun.
From idle chats to pointless sessions to bloopers.
We have this thing about being vain. The 4 of us will just look in the mirror and pose for a few seconds.
We do it so often that it almost turn into a habit.
In the end this turn into a Sushi ritual haha

Basics, Choreography, Tricks, Freestyle, Versatility and Character

With time, this 4 man Crew grew and accepted new members which will be a part of our Brotherhood.
We are priviledge and proud to present Bao Wen and Jia Jun!
Now we are a strong 6 man crew.

Everyone in the crew is an asset. Each individual is unique and they present something different to the table.

Ronnie -
This dude is talent. He is equipped with this clean/smooth style with amazing musicality. Started out weak with totally no confidence in freestyling and now this cat is one of the best freestyler around

Ore -
This guy's animation is insane. And talking about versatility, he can do almost everything you throw at him. Be it a different style of dance or choreography. His best pointers is that he has an ability to kill the music everytime he freestyles. His tricks and blow ups are always fresh and entertaining

Alex -
Bboying. Nuff said. He picks up things fast. Not only is he a bboy. He can dance. With the fire for bboying in him, this cat is dangerous on the battle floor.

Bao Wen -
This dude is a ball of fun. Having him around keeps us motivated for he is hardworking and not afraid to try. And he is good with his hands. In freestyle of course. A good freestyler. Signature = Chest Pops

Jia Jun -
This one is a late bloomer. But when he does come out, he exploded! Technique and House is what this guy is made for. He trains hard. Everytime we come back for a session, he comes out stronger each time.

I am thankful and forever grateful that all of us met and made this crew something I hold dearly.
I have never taken this crew for granted.
All the heart to heart talks, all the laughters, all the sessions and all the sweat.
Thanks bro :)

Will this crew grow bigger?
What will it become of in the future?

None of us really know. We just go with the flow.

Camp 2008

Tomorrow is camp
Hope everything turns out well

Respect and thanks to logistics for doing their job well
The most saikang one woohoo

Till then peace

:)

Rusty

Rusty is what I am now. Class was a struggle.
From now till around end of August is intensive basic training baby LOL

Stretching (especially the freaking split)
Isolations
TURNS (this is one of the worst but the most fun woohoo)
Waves
Groove
Pop
Bboying

Sometimes I'm not sure whether going into alot of styles is a good thing
Oh well I just love what I do so much that I wanna learn everything!!!

Okay
Thats it for my second post
Peace and God Bless :)

First

The real message of Dance,
Opens up the vistas of life to all
Who have the urge to express beauty
With no other instrument than their bodies,
With no apparatus and no dependence
On anything other than space.
