Bleeding

Posted in daily addictions with tags , on October 27, 2009 by nickeoaddiction

Imagine waking up one morning with a mouthful of blood.
Freaky isn’t it?

It freaked the shit outta me when I woke up to a blood-soaked pillow and choked to a mouthful of red fluid.
I rinsed my mouth and went for lecture. Then, it bled again.
I finally had to succumb to the fact that something is wrong with my body.

Weeks of over-working my body has its price to pay, I am down with an infection.
Blood test results aren’t out yet  but I ‘ve started taking beta and iron pills to build haemoglobin.

To Lingyi and YanLing, amazing choreography.
Two completely different genres and I’m thrilled to have danced in both of them.
Still pending for high-quality video for Yedan’s item.


Time to rest and mug.

NUS Rag Day 09/10. The Birth of A New Winner

Posted in special moments with tags , , on August 10, 2009 by nickeoaddiction

NUS Rag Day.
Three months of hard work boiled down to this very moment – King Edward VII Hall crowned the NUS Presidential Overall Best Float.

I broke down into tears, tears of joy.
All of us did.

A historic moment for KE Vll, we have waited too long for this.

From designing to building the structure, from scaling KEnovo to choreography, each and every department slogged our holidays away for this – the birth of a winning float!

Yes, I can finally shout out loud, KE VII rules! Pictures are all over Facebook, so I shan’t post much.

To all my dancers, especially the cheerleaders,
I love you guys so much.
Thanks for enduring hours and hours of training under me and my fellow choreographers.

Thanks to Wengbo, Geri and Yanling, it’s OUR choreography.

Presenting to you: KEnovo (omg I think I hear Ginny shouting my name at 2:35, LOL)

Always a Floater, proud to be one.

Asian Youth Games 2009 Opening Ceremony

Now that it has ended I feel kinda nostalgic.

Though initially there was the issue of the fugly-shocking-pink costume and slippery-until-can-fall-down shoes (and me pulling my hamstring),
I think everyone had fun in the end.
Coolest thing is it was live telecast.
That’s the bad thing about being a performer, you have no idea how you look on stage.

We had a preview show on Saturday but it was nothing compared to the real thing on Monday where the stadium was brimming with spectators and of course with the presence of the Prime Minister.

Oh and I found these stunning pictures of one of the items online.
Dancers from a combination of different JCs and sec schools.
Honestly it was the performance that left us gawking during the rehearsals.

The theme song we danced to, awesome, though it got a lil hard to digest after the nth time you listen to it.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience, love it.
Kudos AYG =)

Crap I can’t upload them on facebook to tag my friends, and youtube’s quality sucks, but oh well =)

KEVII sent four items, and here are 3 of the ones I’m in.

Breath-taking formations and music.

Woo, the video for ICN is out!
The real thing was definitely better than dry run, but the quality of the videos are bad,
and I think they tried a lil too hard to add in the computer effects, wonder what’s the problem with Video Comm this year.
