UPDATE!! (part cinq)

Here's a 30sec update on the current state of thangsss (just because i REFUSE to start work)

1. I am officially a freelance dancer/performer!! Performed at the army half marathon this morning and it was by far the most retarded/wierdest performance ever. We were introduced as NUS Blast and there were pple moving on the stage when we were performing. Not to mention the heavy drizzle. But for 70 bucks, BRING ON THE RAIN I SAY!!

2. Sent in my application for another SEP scholarship... crossing my fingers now. Hopefully it works out this time darn it. i need the friggin' money

3. Work so far has been... sorta alright. This is the first time i have so many readings. Now up to a thickness of about 6cm. and thats exlcuding notes and textbook. like... wat the afff.

4. Totally not enjoying the heat...

5. I hate that i can't sleep at nite anymore. i used to be the master of sleeping. I guess the Zmonster just decided not to be my fren.

6. It's good to have frens who are working. Cause it means you get free lunches and desserts that are TO-DIE-FOR whenever they get a promotion! WOOT!!

7. Procrastination is a bad habit which i must try to overcome.... right about.... now.

CIAO ya PEEPS!!

ONCE MORE... WITH FEELING!!

OK. So, being the winner of 7 or 8 awards during last saturday's Rag day, we were kena arrowed by NUSSU to perform the entire rag presentation at Plaza Singapura this afternoon. And truth be told, most of us had the "oh man... been there done that" feeling. As a senior i was really up for it but i do feel bad for the freshies... like first day into FWOC gong gong audition for rag dance den had to endure so much shit stuff.... but hopefully all of them had a really good time la.... Like i said its a once in a lifetime experience.

After the final performance ended... as i saw my fellow rag dancers taking photos with one another, with the train or even random pple from the crowd... and i see their smiling faces, i guess it was all worth it la. And i cant help but feel really nostlagic about the whole thing.... Call me an emotional being but it was all good man... the endless nights practising the dance... countless hours of waiting for something to happen. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. This is wat i love to do and if KR wants me back after i come back from SEP next year, RAG DANCE 07/08 HERE I COME!! No shit.

Before i leave you with a few more photos of the float at PS today (stolen from a certain Mr Han's blog), just wanna give a special shoutout to JP and Weijie for the amazing choreo and believing in me... my dear aristocrats for the wondeful time, new frens that i made along the way (the punks and the mechanics) and lastly to Emily for being a supportive partner. Peace out y'all.

The day the KRONOS rocked da house!!

Dear loyal readers, if you think the reason why i haven been updating my blog is because i have been slacking somewhere, you are SO wrong. I have been busting my ass (and knees) practising rag dance for possibly the 100th time and making costumes well into the wee hours for the past 2 weeks... and let me tell you, it was ALL WORTH IT. KR won 7 awards, including Best Float and Best Float Presentation... and not forgeting the Chancellor Shield.... the Kronos rocked Rag Day indeed. Words cannot describe how i felt... it was simply euphoric.

Made a lot of new frens along the way, especially freshies... and it made me feel that its ok to miss out in orientation cause i got to know them in another way... and we sort of formed our little OG every nite as well, practising and talking cock while waiting to dance. To me this is more meaningful than FWOC.

People say success is not a destination, merely a journey. But hey, i got both the journey AND the destination so i guess i'm twice as blessed. People ask me why i do this year after year, why i even bother to to do rag dance when it takes away 1/3 of my holidays... All i can say is its my passion, i love to perform and going through this process with so many good friends made it even more enjoyable and worth it... no matter the end result.

Kudos to the entire rag dance team, the raggers and flaggers for this ULTIMATE experience of a lifetime. What a way to kick off the start of a new academic year. Here is the link for the video and some photos of rag day... (i wud have posted more photos but somehow blogspot always try to screw me up by not allowing to do that. Someone tell me why)

Feel the KRONOS...
