Just few minutes ago, i was wondering, thinking, finding what i've missed out on these couple of days in my own world.. and i realised one thing; I didn't just ignore my blog. And so here i am.. now listen to what i've become.
Ever since two weeks ago.. many things have passed, obviously. The current hype that's going on is our school's very own 'Lok Yuk's Got Talent' event. Basically an event pitting contestants of all forms and styles alike against each other in a talent competition, hence the name. LOL. Not so much as a talent show than a competition categorized under singing and dancing. It's been the culture of every school to either sing or dance, and so far, up until now, no one has yet to do something other than.. like... magic shows.. or... walking on stilts.. or... jump roping... So expect to see the exact same thing. But of course, it never gets tiring.
This year, unlike the past, we're doing things a lil' bit more differently. In the year 2008 i formed a dance crew here in SMK Lok Yuk mainly for 2 reasons. The first, I realised quite a few of us enjoy what we do most, dancing. And secondly, Our school has a lack of dancers which has us not winning anything from the Interact Competitions that most of the schools take part in. Simplified? we suck. And so Bass Angels was born, at least for a while. Our members couldn't meet up as often and we had no financial back-up. Plus the crew organizing and recruiting was always less than pleasing, always someone not in favor of how things were being run. As time passed our lil' group just slowly separated...
But then somewhere around mid-year a group of dancers, both experienced and dance-loving, came together and started planning for the Talent show that same year. We won the first comp in school and was to be sent to the finals. Though we didn't claim 1st prize and fell in 3rd, there was nothing that backed us down. We went for it and eventually wound up giving performances when in demand. One of the performances which, people more knew as the one that had taken place at the opening ceremony in 1 Borneo. From there on we named our crew BCJ (Body Care Juniors) as we received invaluable support from the Body Care Dance Studio located in Damai. One of our members was the son of the person in charge at the studio, which was how we could get help from a local dance studio.
So... like i said, this year things will be done differently, mainly becuz part of our crew has broken of and separated from the person that had brought us closer to the studio. Now we're on our own, needing to practice at the school hall instead of a full mirror walled studio. But so far it seems, we've been doing better than before.. more efficient, more argument-free, more... satisfaction within what's left of our crew, which now stands at a number of four people listed as me, Kamal, Azhar, and Floyd.
We've just been practicing a week, focusing on choreography and music selection alone. And yet we've been faster in progress than when we were a full 7 man team (Not counting girls yet). Right now our crew is taking the 'Jabbawockeez' dance routine. It's simple, synchronized, and full of cool tricks we've tailor-made for each individual involved. It should make for an interesting show.
Of course, other than us.. there will be others competing. All of which we don't mind of.. Another group of girls, which we are quite close to, are also competing in said event. And we've come to a strategy that all of us agree to.. :When either one of us has won, the winning team will bring the other to the finals.. It's basically our insurance to winning. Becuz we're quite convinced only one of the two of us will get to the finals, If either one wins, we'll all go there anyway. In unity i guess.. ^^
Details on the dance for each team are...
The girls team, named xoxo, for un-obvious reasons, will be taking the dance routine of a famous group called Girl's Generation. And the song they have chosen is Gee, also a product of Girl's Generation. Their style of dance is modern with a pinch of sexiness and femininity. On top of that, it's cute. seriously.
Our team however, named Silent Motion O.o, will be taking the dance routine from an also famous dance crew from the United States called, Jabbawockeez. The song we have chosen.. is a mix of four soundtracks made by the Jabbas themselves. Our style of dance is modern hip hop along with some old-school flavour. Popping, waving, and breaking will be essential to our choreography. With strong faith, i hope either one of us will win. It doesn't matter which of us do, we're all going the same place. So.. it's only a matter of time...
