We have been having a few celebrity brushes at our recent performances, namely DJs JJ and Ean from Hitz.fm, and DJ Prem from Fly.fm 😀
They turned out to be rather sporting and down-to-earth and we hope that they had just as much fun with us as we had with them 😀
A small rockclimbing trip to Putrajaya was organized, which unexpectedly led to a most memorable night 😀
We had arrived at the place around 7pm only to find out that the rockclimbing site closes at 8pm on Tuesdays, which meant only an hour of fun…. which is NOT ENOUGH! We ended up deciding to forgo renting the rockclimbing gear and to just pay the entrance fee because the rental fee for the equipment just did not seem worth it if we could only use them for an hour 😦 It turned out that we still had a lot of fun trying the intermediate level walls, mostly failing and crashing down onto the mattress at the bottom ;D
After the one hour was up, we drove back to Cheras and had dinner at Kaki Corner. It was one of those affairs that had live music and somehow (we do not know how) the female vocalist who was performing for the night invited one of us to come up on stage to have a go at the mic!
It was supposed to be just one song.
And then, somehow…
Should we upload the videos here as well? :p
Lol. It feels like we ought to issue a formal statement to the public: “In light of what had transpired on the night of November 6th, 2012 at Kaki Corner, we feel the need to extend an apology to the other patrons of the cafe who were present there at the time of 9:30pm – 11:30pm for having possibly subjected your ears to unspeakable torture. We would also like to thank the guitarist, who not only had good-naturedly played the guitar accompaniment for the individuals from our party who had invaded the stage, but had also on multiple instances, backed up the vocals for when our representatives had forgotten the lyrics at various parts of the songs. To him, we are gratefully indebted. We wish to also make known our appreciation for the staff at Kaki Corner and the aforementioned female vocalist for allowing us to temporarily invade the Kaki Corner stage. That is all. Thank you for your attention.”
Don’t you just love formal jargon?
If you want it in laymen terms, let us know in the comments and we will update this post with a translation ;P
Moving on to the last activity of the night, we proceeded to Pavilion to watch Paranormal Activity 4! Regarding this, let us just say that the guys are most probably lying if they said that they weren’t scared at all throughout the entire movie ;P
All dressed up for Halloween 2012!
Did you really think we would miss out on such fun? 😉
We offer our sincerest apologies to readers of our humble blog for the lack of activity since the blog’s last post in 2009.
The reasons are manifold and it is unnecessary to bore you to an early death with them. What matters now, is that we’re BACK!
So you can safely expect more to come on this blog as we regularly update it from now onwards.
p.s. our team’s colours have changed from blue+black to red+gold
AAAHHH!!
the preview for the ‘Sports’ themed episode, in which The Rebels had the most privileged opportunity to perform, is out!
sure, we do not even have 1 second of frame time in the preview, but hey, we are delirious with excitement nonetheless 😀
remember to catch the showing of the episode alright ;D if not for us, then at least for the impressive performances by the competitiors 🙂

The Rebels had performed a 6 man (and woman :p) show Wednesday night at Mist Club, Bangsar in conjunction with the club’s “High School Crush” theme. After all, what is a high school theme without a typical pep rally showcase of cheerleaders, eh? ;D

The most important thing you need to have in a routine is a sense of performance.
It is so important that without it, even if you were to execute a difficult and impressive routine cleanly, you will still be missing that X-factor. But if you execute an average and maybe even slightly less-than-perfect routine with confidence and a sense of performance, your team will be the one that leaves the strongest impression upon the audience 🙂
When you perform a routine, it is not just about knowing your part and just performing them with that concentrated look on your face that has you staring at the floor throughout the whole routine. (dear less experienced members of The Rebels, do take note of this :] )
No. It is about performance, as well. Make eye contact with your audience to let them see how confident you are. Engage the crowd. Tell them to or make them go WILD at your performance. Perform. Chest out. Head high. Wear a look on your face that says, “Yeah, come on! Watch this! We’re gonna rock your socks off!”
No room for shyness. You’re on stage/mat! These are the only times you get to be cockily confident and not be hated for it :p Your chance to be flirtatious and be someone entirely different!
The exhilaration of performing and hearing the crowd scream for you. There is no drug which can substitute that satisfaction. Off stage, you can be incredibly timid. But on stage, you are in a different world. Take me for example, I dare not let go of myself and enjoy dancing freely on a dance floor at social events/places. Honest to goodness, I have friends who can testify that they have had to drag me onto the dance floor and even then I just stood there superbly shy and scared :p But they can also tell you that I am totally different when I am performing. Heck, I get so enthusiastic that I may just be actually scaring the crowd with my ferocity/intensity (which, of course, I do not recommend you to do) :p
It is not just about doing a routine. It is about performing 😉
So get your butts onto the mat and wow the crowd, Rebels. Show them that we are bloody good and that we are darn proud of it!
Bytheway,…. having a fixed grin on your face is not the same as a genuine proud smile.
