both sides of the world.

being in Cred has been quite an adventure, from being a supporter and friend, to a manager, to a crew member and dancer... it's been an amazing experience when i look back on our time spent together.

we were a bit O__O at how huge the stage was for the 6 of us!

this is sabbie trying to teach us her blocking via drawing diagrams xD

D'Hopz and blast! sharing a dressing room! :D

our packed schedule for House Party.

i can't believe the Dancetitude sign from last year is still here backstage! guess there's a part of us that's always at UCC, eh? ;)

i love my weird friends.

see we're actually on the program highlights!!!! :O

and that ends the performance spam of Cred over the first few days of school! we really crammed ourselves with too many shows and events, thinking that we could handle them all, even though we couldn't reuse our items for a lot of them (which resulted in overnight pracs and slight craziness due to lack of sleep). still, it was a good experience :) 

we're now on a short performance hiatus at least till after SUAD is over... hope we'll make a comeback sometime soon! ^_^ (and RANXM too haha i miss my boys sigh :( )

I uploaded the rest of the Cred and Friends photos here:

Friends with Cred.

other dance related adventures included a trip to The Big Groove! where we all got inspired by dancers from all over the world (especially JAPAN, Korea and our very own Singapore) and had a crazy fun time screaming, fangirling and just soaking in the atmosphere and common love for DANCE.

and here are some random miscellaneous photos, out of which most are of food :P 

these NUS biscuits were actually FREAKING YUMMY

mum's homemade breakfast ahhh i love my mum

mysterious anonymous stranger donated this mysterious shoerack to me! :O

Chomp Chomp night with the cousin before she flew back to US~

the lovely things i find whenever i clean/pack my room.

i love sashimi!

ridiculously bling gold cloth bought for Zhiwen's item costume!

a fire broke out in school at the engineering faculty recently, there was smoke everywhere! D: it was pretty huge and extensive, i heard.

outtakes from the womaniser shoot :) ehhhhh sexay ladies.

and of course, artwork. damn, i miss chilling at Starbucks to do these.

it's difficult balancing both art and dance, but i want to do it because i love both forms of art... let's just see how far this can take me. :) 

i don't want to give up yet. ^_^

we should have more days like these.

haven't updated in exactly two weeks, two really good weeks. :)

firstly, being back at blast! class every wednesday is always (excuse my cliched and overused pun) a true blast. although Pat's choreo wasn't easy (as always) and was physically demanding with all the rolls and jumps and twists from ground upwards, it's always lovely spending my afternoons with the blast!ards who're working to a common passion and a common goal. :)

additionally, i always enjoy meals with the blast!ards after class. craziest and funnest. meals. ever.

here's Tim downing his usual 3 drinks after class.

i need to keep track of what i eat at Alcove! i want to eventually try everything on the menu :P yum!

2 weeks ago, i also had the wonderful opportunity of doing an Angry Birds show with Caleb and his performing crew! our job was mainly to attract the crowd to the Angry Birds game going on. it was a semi-flash mob at an Angry Birds road show in Vivocity. we performed like 16 times and had ample time to wander around Vivo. ^_^

since we had so much time in between our shows, we spent shopping, (bought a new set of speakers!) eating, and chilling. :) i really enjoyed myself during the breaks because it was a nice getaway from my daily rush and onslaught of activities. 

found a new love at Soup Spoon - Thai chicken vermicelli something salad. so. good.

i made an effort to spend some time on my own, just chilling and enjoying life.

lugging books, bubble tea, dance clothes and the like before prac. the Mistborn saga is so good so far! just like everyone recommended! i'm still only on the first book though. :/

this is super worth it and super yummy! one large cup (this is the smallest size) of Vanilla Ceylon Tea Latte at only $5.80!

in other news regarding WORK and JOBS, it turns out that Coco doesn't need me to work in the day time anymore! and since i can't commit to working at night, i won't be needing to go back to work anytime soon. ^_^ (except to collect my pay) this really came as a blessing at the right time. i need more time to work on the things i really WANT to work on. like my artwork.
going to upload the full comic strip soon, but here's a little teaser. :)

Sabbie has also returned from Germany! bearing lots of German candies and chocs for all of us. ^_^

on Saturday, i also went on a random spontaneous excursion to Chinatown with Jiayi! (she was going to give me a lift there so i could get home more easily) it was...beautiful. :)

and of course, my usual food spam! :)

Chomp Chomp night with my cousin. we ate so much more than this, but the lighting was so bad, we couldnt get good photos. not even of ourselves. :(

Dim Sum week! Swee Choon with the Blast!ards and Din Tai Fung with the fam :)

i never fail to order this vinegar chilli wanton thing whenever i eat at these places. :) LOVE THIS SOUR SPICY SHIT IT'S AWESOME.

Cotton On was having this ravaging sale at nex, was so tempted to go down to take a look. which Singaporean can resist $2 and $5 bargains?!?!?!

as for this week, i spent monday watching Madagascar 3 with dear Krissy. it's such an awesome feel good movie, full of neon colours, rainbows, crazy music (BABY YOU'RE A FIREEEEWORKKKK), and crazy characters to match up! Kris and i were laughing like idiots all the way and really enjoying ourselves! even though so many things were so IMPOSSIBLE they just HAD to be from a cartoon, (everything about that Russian tiger is impossible, seriously) it was the sheer fact that they were so impossible that made the movie so good to watch. reality is so constricting sometimes. =___=


we also came to the conclusion that a certain zebra reminds us SO MUCH of our own troll Tim.
(DA DA DADADADADA CIRCUS DA DA DADADADADADA AFRO)
and that Alex the lion, in some ways, reminds us of Jessen/Alex. we were just shouting OMG TIM IS IN THE MOVIE OMG TIM YOU TROLL whenever Marty did anything remotely troll-like. (which was VERY often) we also chorused "ALEX YOU AWKWARD THING" whenever Alex the lion did anything awkward. which was, also, pretty often.


the sad thing Kris and i realised afterward was that the photo i got off our outing was this yummy shit:

after our outing we headed for an awesome BFS prac. i think so far, Alex's choreo has gotta be my favourite. Tim's is really fun, but i really love doing Alex's choreo to A Good Man. it's so chill, sleek, clean, and the musicality is just amazing.

week summary over, here's a bit of a mystery publicity that Jiayi, Shan and i have been up to. ;)

COMING SOON THIS JULY. ;) - NUS Dance Blast!
