Bleeding

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.

KEVII Internal Cultural Night 09

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.

Let’s Get It Started

So many things are happening at the same time I barely know where to start.
We’re heading into Week 5 now and the crazy hall life continues to drive its denizens crazy.

I’ve sort of made a promise to myself to cut down on my commitments this year but currently I’m doin a fucking bad job.
However it’s a relief to know that my final team for Hallplay has been formed,
and I’ve got some of the best talents in hall working by my side as department heads.
With 85 people working under me it’s time to push our hall production to a new dimension.

Side-tracking from Hallplay, the spirit in East Wing this year is still blazing a-high.
I love CD block, particularly the D block drinking gang.
I love the havoc bitch Joel staying next door who always has booze to share.
The blockers are all damn tight this year, which is ultimately a good thing.

A month’s rest from rag dance is followed by the start of another busy semester of dance.
I’m still trying to juggle between volleyball, touch-rug and dance, and at the same time show support to the newly-formed cheerleading team (and hopefully spare some time for Wushu).

Oh yes, I forgot, I need to study too, haha.

Hall, what better way than Formal Hall Dinner to get the ball rolling.

CD Blockers!

Cheow

Gahhh, I still have lab reports!

Week After Rag

And so lots of stuff has been going on after rag day.
Lethargic is the word to describe my current state of mind.

Went night cycling till our asses cracked.

YanLing’s ultra pink 21st birthday party in hall, hosted by yours sincerely, Nickeo.
Check out the vid I made for her on FB here

CD block swept 2 golds for Inter-block games up till last night – basketball and volleyball.
Didn’t really play except for touch-rug coz I got super zai freshies, yeahh man.

Thanks Haoyang for the super random shots, Love em.
Too many hurdles up ahead, peace out.

Post-Rag

Still indulging myself in a little post-rag bliss.

Probably my favourite snapshots:

The last one’s just blatant ego, lol.

I’ve been getting alot of negative feedbacks from friends lately, saying I’ve gotten too skinny over the holidays. The uber short army haircut makes it worse.
Aneroxic, as how Ben puts it.
Well, I gym regularly, perhaps I really ain’t eating enough.

Advertising.

Probably the next top designer?

Congratulations Winson =) Love your designes. I want a custom-made suit!
All the best in Aussie mate.

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

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.

Reflections

A good day for reflections,
at this unearthly hour again I know.

I fell out with a good friend last night.
Though we have many things in common and we joke around alot,
I simply could not digest the way he handle things,
and he’s disappointed in me for judging him.
And we’re still neighbours for the next academic year, sighs.
Complicated.

A wake-up call today during cheerleading.
Ellen fell down from elevator, I fell down from elavator.
I was fine coz I landed on my back, but Ellen went head-down.
We were shocked for a couple of seconds, coz she lay there motionless.
Thank heavens she’s all right, just a big boo-boo.

Damien threw the question right at our faces, ” What if she’s really injured or cracked her skull?”
Things got a little feisty. Everyone had something to say, everyone had an excuse.
But yeah, the fundamental question is, ” Have we been serious enough in what we’re doing?

Wengbo broke down into sobs earlier in the evening whislt prep-talking the dancers,
and I had to take over the talking for her.
Some people just needed an attitude adjustment, some people just needed to focus more.
But, a little something here and there, adds up to everything.

Round One

It’s been a long day today, and an even longer one tomorrow.
I should be sleeping at this unearthly hour.

Round one of the NUSSU vetting was over.
Basically they wanted not only to vet through the cheerleading stunts we’ll be performing,
they also wanted to know the exact couples performing the stunts. SO MA FAN~!

We gotta go through the final round of vetting next week with all our stunts and all the cheerleaders present.
*fingers cross, pray*

To all the seniors and freshmen in the team, you guys rock.
Just two more weeks to show time, shake it up yeah!

Stunts

Float is currently in its secondary phase of work.
Designers have more or less completed the final model whilst engineers swing into action with electric drills, saws and hammers.
As for choreography, I’ve been stuck with my co-choreographers for the past two days, venturing out our air-conditioned dance room only during meal times, and staying up till wee hours of the night.

Music editing is hard work!
I’ve been struggling with the stupid software for the entire week, mixing and matching the songs, fixing the pitch and tempo.
Hopefully (if dear Guan Yin Ma permits it) we can start the choreography by weekend.
We tried a few couple stunts just now , and my arms feel like they’re breaking now.
A few more weeks of lifting, swinging and tossing girls overhead and I’m gonna have the most beautiful set of biceps ever.

I need to hit the gym to build muscels, starting tomorrow.
There are a few stunts that are just oh-so-impossible =.=
