<br />
So close, but already I felt like "AH~ I did enough! Chillax let's go eat banana...". For course, it's impossible to 'did' enough unless one claimed so. <br />
<br />
Exams make me fat. Sigh.<br />
<br />
And i missed dancing terribly. I have a whole playlist of new songs waiting for me to be choreographed to. <br />
<br />
On a side note, I decided with 90% confidence that I will be a teacher in the future. The remaining 10% is just in case I changed my mind halfway my engineering course. But I felt more sense of fulfillment becoming a teacher.<br />
<br />
Let's say if I were to be an engineer, and I have designed a new system that profits me gazillion brazillian dollars (it just rhymes), I think I might be happy and fulfilled for a while, before becoming lazy and fat and arrogant and saying "in-your-face" phrases to everyone (yes, I think I'm abit cocky when there's victory).<br />
<br />
Whereas being a teacher, all I want to see is students growing up, students trying hard, students wanting to learn. I tried being a teacher before (for like two weeks and some Saturdays classes in my mom's school) and I know how difficult it is to being a just a teacher. But everytime they show their enthusiasm for something, it leaves an impact in me which lasts for like a long time, and I kinda like that feeling.<br />
<br />
I hope my future is like what I pictured. I have been repainting my future for millions of times due to uncertainties. I hope that I do not need to repaint it for another million times.<br />
<br />
Exams! Back to study. >.<Daniel Siowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12199024674092594911noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858978661878396282.post-18205520653035890532010-11-04T11:48:00.000+08:002010-11-04T11:48:49.317+08:00Dance Eat SleepAiks.<br />
<br />
Choreo project was fun, where every week, there will be 4-5 people showing a choreography of their own after MJ junior class. I had mine last week, and I kinda feel disappointed with myself. So many things to improve on! Sigh. And during the course of choreographing, I realised I have many many ZILLIONS of weakness in dancing. Totally makes me wished I didn't started off freestyling first.<br />
<br />
On another note, I finally got a chance to perform! I have my structured performance team aka SPT which we will be performing on 25 November. Woohoo! Miss being on stage. HAHA narcissistic I am.<br />
<br />
And another exciting note, I'm sharing my choreo in MJ for the first time! Lolz! Exciting can! And also nervous. *shiver*<br />
<br />
Alright, now back to Tech Comm project. And I think I should start studying.<br />

<br />
And I finally got my first taste of battle!!! Woohoo!!! Never had such adrenaline rush before.<br />
<br />
Everyone in the battle did a fanstatic job! Seriously, everyone should consider to join 1 vs 1 competitions outside NTU!<br />
<br />
And yea, I think I got myself a new eye candy during the chalet. Shit I sounded like a girl, HOR~<br />
<br />
Respect to all dancers in NTU!

<br />
My pants can't be any thighter than my schedule.<br />
<br />
It's like, project mode at one moment, then next moment dance mode, then later study, and the vicious cycle keeps repeating.<br />
<br />
By the way, <b style="color: yellow;">Kangli</b>'s sharing session was very over-the-hill superb!! Very motivating dance and music as well! Although I don't cut out for her style, the dance feels very meaningful. And of course, can't wait for her to share her house! I mean her house technique. (house is a type of dance style, so don't look at me like that please)<br />
<br />
The coming week will be like, "Oh, hi! Welcome back to HELL WAHAHAHA". Sigh. Have to skip some lectures to meet professors for project proposal. Please let me have a good supervisor for my project!<br />
<br />
And now, back to my earphones listening to dance battle's songs (lots of it). Oh my goodness so exciting can! First dance battle of my life! NERVOUS UNTIL LEGS SHAKE ALREADY.Daniel Siowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12199024674092594911noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858978661878396282.post-85557392175838377512010-10-08T18:12:00.000+08:002010-10-08T18:12:05.443+08:00Nobody knows who I really amAdmist the busy schedule, I need to pour out stuff that has been in my mind for a long time.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I have to stop myself and ask: am I dancing for the right reasons? <br />
<br />
In the past, dance was something very mystical and awesome. It's a magical phenomenon when someone steps out and dance. It makes people realised what life is all about. It's about inspiring others through your own movement. That was what it used to be in the past. That drives me to dance. Because others inspired me through the same way. And they expect me to do the same to others. <br />
<br />
But recently I have to question myself.<br />
<br />
Am I dancing for the right reason?<br />
<br />
I felt like currently I'm dancing just to prove myself or everyone else something: that I'm good in dancing, that I deserve to get a hall next year, that I deserve to perform for events, that I just love dancing. Somehow this makes dancing so selfish and empty. Whatever I learn in HAD back then becomes nothing. <br />
<br />
Have I forgotten my roots? Dance is suppose to be a passion, not a thing to prove. <br />
<br />
I know this sounds deep. But it's deep enough to trouble me everyday.<br />
<br />
Time to relearn my roots. <br />
<br />
On the bright side, look down:<br />

<br />
A lot of things going on at the same time. And previously in my life I thought that I know what is multitasking.<br />
<br />
In NTU, multitasking is like trying to juggle 5 balls, standing on one feet, the other feet playing Dance Dance Revolution, and attending a mass video conference. Not sure where I get these random ideas, but yeah you get the picture.<br />
<br />
Another metaphor: it's like trying to show a middle finger to them, but your fingers are so busy with many other stuff.<br />
<br />
Regretted telling off seniors last year: Why aren't you enthusiastic enough? Too busy?<br />
<br />
I believe in karma. I'm so ready to be told off by my juniors. >.<<br />
<br />
Thank goodness I have dance as the best distraction I have from this hellish life. So looking forward for any dance opportunities. <br />
<br />
But these things in life is challenges I have to face! I have to overcome it! RWAR! =DDaniel Siowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12199024674092594911noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858978661878396282.post-80293440837644947892010-10-04T09:43:00.000+08:002010-10-04T09:43:16.263+08:00Good morning, Singapore~Another week has begun.<br />
<br />
And so is the CAs. Two of it this week.<br />
<br />
And beginning to dance more than studying.<br />
<br />
And still looking up for new sneakers on the web.<br />
<br />
And also decide whether to take up the ultimate position or not. (those out there who knows what I'm talking about, currently it's still a no >.<)<br />
<br />

<br />
Tomorrow morning there will be a MJ sharing session by Apple. That's the exciting part. It's from 12pm to 1pm.<br />
<br />
The disgusted part?<br />
<br />
There will be water disruption in hall. Means no bath taking from 2pm to 6pm.<br />
<br />
*gasp* This is totally serious shit. If I don't take bath for 4 hours, especially after a dance class, I will be no different from sewage filled with fertilizers.<br />
<br />
Time to prepare the fragrance spray. Lots of it.<br />
<br />
And pegs for my own nose.Daniel Siowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12199024674092594911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858978661878396282.post-16249107391349135202010-09-28T22:49:00.000+08:002010-09-28T22:49:35.618+08:00Gently pick your nose, pleaseSigh.<br />
<br />
How to understand Engineering Maths?!? Tomorrow is my lab session for convolution, and I believe it is the same experiment for my formal lab report. How to understand? At least Wikipedia give me some ideas what it is all about.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (Who says Wikipedia is unreliable? They even include animations in explanation! Jakkun-ism here)</span><br />
<br />
Exploding brain was pictured in my mind at this very moment.<br />
<br />
Boohoo. I feel like a geek.<br />
<br />
Sigh. Received lots of feedback about my dance, especially after Malaysian Night: you dance well, but YOUR FACE DON'T MATCH WITH YOUR DANCE. Arghhhh! Sad to have this geeky face. Plastic surgery? No way: can't afford to go dance classes still want facelift? Pftttt.<br />
<br />
At least I have this element of surprise: "You don't believe I can dance?" and proceed doing a hand wave isolation. Cue stunned face from on-lookers and haha-in-your-face-with-my-face face <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(get it? 'in-your-face-with-my-face'? especially the 'my-face'? nevermind)</span>. Yes, I need some ego here 'cos I already lost it to my face. Sigh.<br />
<br />
But please don't think that I dance to hide myself or my face. I love dancing for all I know.<br />
<br />
Talking about dancing, <b style="color: yellow;">Apple</b>, <b style="color: yellow;">Mac</b> and <b style="color: yellow;">Yoga</b> had sharing sessions in Unific open classes which really, really made my week(s)! Looking forward for more of it! And hope that I pass the coming audition for Unific. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(audition steps choreo-ed by <b style="color: yellow;">Mel</b>; omg confirm susah sia)</span><br />

This shoes is <b>DAMN CHIO TO WEAR</b>. So chio, I will not be wearing it often, unless under some circumstances e.g. impress others LOL VAIN<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (and kiam siat)</span>. <br />
<br />
Malaysian Night is over! It is one great event, even with some minor hiccups<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (and a very boredom inducing emcee aka omg-don't-try-to-emcee-anymore me T.T)</span> everyone got very high at the end. There's homemade advertisements <span style="font-size: x-small;">(brilliantly made by <b style="color: yellow;">Teck Hong</b>)</span>, video drama <span style="font-size: x-small;">(directed dramatically by <b style="color: yellow;">Chee Wah</b>)</span>, sketch show by seniors <span style="font-size: x-small;">(directed by <b style="color: yellow;">Andrew</b>; superbly funny until choked on saliva) </span>and dance performances <span style="font-size: x-small;">(<b style="color: yellow;">Quen Seng</b> owned everybody hands down)</span>. I'm glad it ends with a high note.<br />
<br />
And from now on, I shall not commit myself into MSA events. But I can still help in minor ways <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(e.g. logistic handling aka carrying stuff =P)</span>. Reason: I need a break! And also to give opportunities to freshies to hold events. ;D<br />
<br />
Had a HW210 meeting next morning; had to drag myself out of bed. Luckily we have a great project team! <b style="color: yellow;">Choon Yee</b>, <b style="color: yellow;">William</b>, <b style="color: yellow;">Joanne</b> and <b style="color: yellow;">Sheng En</b>, you guys rocks! Sorry for making you all wake up so early for this meeting. <br />
<br />
Had a super huge mega steamboat session with Dinar-ians <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(my OG in MSA FOC)</span>. And the superlatives is just an understatement. The ingredients the freshies bought from Sheng Siong, they intended to stuff us all and do frequent checks by holding our index finger, which later will come to a point where they will eat us up <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(refer to Hansel and Gretel story; be warned that it has a violent ending, for the witch that is)</span>. Thank you <b style="color: yellow;">Kok Kin</b> for organising the steamboat ala 24 game sessions ala karaoke!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow night is Unific sharing session! Woohoo! When it comes to dance, I'm like omg-so-excited-bite-my-finger. But...<br />
<br />
Sigh. My freestyling degrade in level a lot recently. No idea why, but everytime I tried, it's will be those shit-I-ain't-comfortable-with-this feeling. I need more random session in my own room! Ahhhhh~~<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">To my inner subconscious: What? Tutorials? Oh. Darn. </span>Daniel Siowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12199024674092594911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858978661878396282.post-55957078273488499612010-09-22T23:24:00.000+08:002010-09-22T23:24:48.989+08:00Great, bite me fingerThis week sounds exciting yo!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is NTU-MJ's audition, which I'm looking forward to! I want to see new faces, and fresh determination from those who are passionate in dance. It's really joyful to see somebody who just wants to dance, regardless of their skills. Hope that I don't embarrass myself by forgot steps. =P<br />
<br />
This Saturday will be the Malaysian Night 2010! I'm gonna emcee for this event which will feature a lot of crazy stuff! Hope this event goes well! Hope I don't get tongue twisted at the wrong time. Hope that the crowd is enthusiastic. Hope that I don't offend anyone on stage. Hope that... Ahhhh!!<br />
<br />
Got myself a new mini speakers and also earphones. Both doing very well. I named my mini speakers Minnie and my earphones Big Cow. Okay random I know.<br />
<br />
Time to sleep early. Tomorrow 8.30am class. WAHLIAO. Can scream. Or shriek. Or agitated. Or exasperated (trying out words that I don't usually use in daily life, lolz; chim English FTW)<br />

Just a year goes by, and reality taught us that too much of good things can be a bad thing. <br />
<br />
Life is like a box of chocolates. Eat too much of it and obesity will strike you, unwanted freckles will devour your face, and blood clot will be your whining in the future.<br />
<br />
I finally realized how important is it to have a positive mindset. To survive in NTU is like playing a game of atoms: surrounded by electron clouds, you gotta have a lot of proton or else you are so gonna be a negative charged atom.<br />
<br />
How to stay positive? I heard chocolates can stimulate the release of endorphin hormones, which can make you happy...<br />
<br />
Wait, didn't I say having too much of it will cause blood clot?<br />
<br />
Sigh.<br />

</div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;">Oh yes, I came across a YouTube video that says about digital drugs. </div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;"><br />

I-DOSING?!?!?</div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;"></div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;">Apparently hearing the audio will induce the 'high' that those conventional drugs gives.</div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;">And the audio is available in Youtube. And so I tried listening to one.</div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;"><br />

</div><div style="background-color: black; color: #cfe2f3;">Damn scary.

Or maybe I already lost touch of it. Note the random title which I will be practicing for future blog posts.<br />
<br />
Well, it's time to blog. No point keeping all the whining in my cerebrum. <br />
<br />
<div style="color: #0b5394;">Life in NTU is usual. Walk here, walk there, take a bus ride up to somewhere, walk, walk, walk, sit, stare, momentarily took a nap while listening to lectures...</div><div style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394;">Then walk, walk, walk, decide whether to take a bus ride back to hostel, stare at bulging belly, decided to walk back to hostel, then sit by the laptop...</div><br />
Oh my goodness, the only time I snapped out of this zombieness is during dance classes or just dancing.<br />
<br />
If I were to be in a game, it would definitely be Plants vs. Zombies. I will be the marching villains stepping into a yard full of vicious plants. And I will keep spawning until the time limit is over. Sigh.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, a quick update about my past life:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1.</span> Had a very long holidays with family. During that period, 50% of me wants to go back to Singapore <span style="font-size: x-small;">(cos that is the period when the dancing scene is HAPPENING) </span>whereas the other 50% of me wants to stay in Malaysia <span style="font-size: x-small;">(cos I just really love my family, especially after a year of not seeing them).</span></div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. </span>Went to Beijing with my mom. Everything in Beijing is so wonderful except the food they serve <span style="font-size: x-small;">(nothing beats Malaysian food)</span>. Craziest thing I did is to climb the Great Wall of China and almost reach the top <span style="font-size: x-small;">(cos the tour guide set us a time limit before gathering, damn kns)</span></div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">3. </span>Grew fat since the 2nd semester exams and during the holidays. Belly is clearly bulging to the point where I can't see my toes. TRIED EXERCISE on daily basis but failed. </div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">4. </span>Came back to Singapore. NTU offered my Hall of Residence 1 which is quite comfy. Love it. And looking forward to join the hall dance crew, Unific. =D</div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">5. </span>Realising that my freestyling is getting worse. Need more freestyling session. </div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">6. </span>Had a lot of events since the last blog post, few major ones: MSA Senior Camp, The Big Groove, MSA FOC 2010, etc....</div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">7. </span>Sick of some Malaysian's racist attitude. I actually cursed them with fully loaded muttering cuss words which I care not to list them here. </div><br />
<br />
But for now, life is good <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(at the moment)</span>. Hence the rebirth of blogging.<br />
<br />

Another dance performance (actually, it's performanceS). Two times in a day this Saturday! Once for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Run Round Singapore</span> in the opening ceremony; once for <span style="font-weight: bold;">NAF</span> in the evening!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">By the way, I have not idea what is NAF.

Once in the morning for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Soka Youth Musical</span> in Tampines; once at night for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Joint Dance Concert 2010 </span>in Republic Polytechnic.

Aus Ninja explains about dancing and it's very educational and enlightening to all aspiring dancers.<br /><br />I need to peace out.

A decade gone, just like that.<br /><br />2009 was super eventful. I had fun in Malaysia (post-STPM period) with my family, friends, High School Division (HSD), Hibiscus Artistic Dance (HAD), Malaysia International Furniture Fair (MIFF), Galactic Future Group (GFG), etc. I totally missed those times where I have to rack my brain juice for many situations, where friends are everywhere, where fun is always in the air.<br /><br />Then enters Singapore.<br /><br />It's one of those moment where I experienced big changes in life. Realizations struck here and there. Reality hits hard. Many times I had voices in my head yelling, "GROW UP, YOU S.O.B.!" And no, I'm not saying that I don't like it. In fact, I totally ENJOYED it.<br /><br />But entering the new year with my screwed up exams results of my 1st semester is not what I had in mind. Well, it's time to change. <span style="font-size:78%;">*brought to you by DiGi!

Type "random" in the search bar and hope that something random will pop up. Advisable to keep going to the next page of search results until there's isn't any more page to go. Then start realizing that you didn't watch any videos at all.<br /><br />2. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Eat ChipsMore while Facebooking. </span>It is productive to do so because both hands are being used in the process. The right hand holds the mouse to scroll down the website whereas the left hand holds the cookie to be shoved into your mouth.<br /><br />3. <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Keep counting the number of fingers you have, to make sure it stays at ten.</span> It is essential to do so because there is a chance that your fingers will disappear at any moment. Bermuda Triangle might exist in certain part of your room. And who knows, you might grow one extra finger, and you won't be able to show your middle finger to anyone (since there won't be a middle finger in even numbers of fingers in a hand).<br /><br />4.<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> Scream your neighbour's name in high pitch. </span>Then notice the noise of the shifting of his/her chair.
