PHEW! New blog updates. Its been few weeks after the last post in blogspot. In this few weeks,it is a very busy and tired day but REALLY ENJOYED TO THE MAX.This updates, Im going to write about what had i been doing in this few weeks.

In the week 9 & 10, Its a term break for all the student of Poly. I went back to my hometown, Malaysia at week9. To be frank, i really enjoyed the day in my hometown. I met my friends and we hang out for the whole week! Everyday outing and chatting around. Although this week passed very quickly, i am able to recall every moment in the week9! Outing includes celebrating friend's and movies. i watched 3 movies at that week! Once again, i really enjoyed the day in Malaysia and really have to thanks my frens for accompanying me =D CHEERS!
Okay, back to the dance. After the 9th week, i came back again to Singapore. At week 10th, Foreign bodies dance club has planned a camp for juniors that takes place on 25-27June, Nanyang Polytechnic Block E =D.Im gonna talk all the activities in this camp =X

Day1 Fb's camp

All the juniors are separated into 5 groups. All the respective groups discuss about their group's name. For my group, we called it SDD - Sexy Dance Dumplings. The main reason we select this name is because of our team member's gender. We have 4 guy and 12 GALS!!. Compare to other, we really have a very imbalance gender =X. Nevermind that! Our team rox! We are also companied by few seniors. They are helpful and cool!. Motivates us all the time and made the SDD's felt enthusiatics. The 1st activities is mainly on ice-breaking which is normally held as the 1st activities in every camp. Alot of games has been planned by the seniors in giving all the juniors opportunity to make new friends! I really felt excited to make new friends as we are FB's family =D.In this game, all the members in my groups really did well the best. We played Tangle the Human. And we also played passing by a small plastic paper with mouths around. All the guys have to sit in between the gals. Infact, our team comprises of 16 members which is the most among all the groups.But, we did the passing fastest and also the most efficient one with the record of 11 rounds in 10 minutes. Last year, our seniors best record was only 6. HAHA. SDD ROX!

Some games are going around here. Forgotten =P

Concentrating The most exciting game; Passing a 7x7mm plastic with 'naked mouth' XDPlaying guessing opponents game, All freestyle came out!
SDD ROX =D

Dodge Ball time!
Suffering but still CHEESE- That's the SPIRIT! =D

After that, we are asked to change into dancing attire as we will be learning different genre. I didnt change as i came into dancing attire already at first. We are then separated into two groups. Each groups is taught by our GRAND SENIOR. They were so cool. The 1st small 'lecture' i attend was 'House'. There it goes, the grand senior started with some history of 'House' and den start teaching some basic thing about this genre. Its more in footstep. It looks easy but it doesn't actually =P. After the 'house' lecture, all of us gone sweat and we switch with he other group for more 'lecture' . The next thing we are going to learn is 'Styling and Expressing' by Andee, grandsenior. I really like the way this senior taught! He is hilarous and also gives alot of example in expressin the true meaning of dance." 'Dance is to relax' perhaps, tell a story", he said. With all the expression in face could really helps in expressing. Not less with the body movement. At first we are to learn how to moves every nerves in our FACE!. Its was so funny for all of us to pronounce ' AEIOU' with maximum facial movement! We all also learn new choreo, a simple one. Conducted by Andee. His purpose was to teach us 'how many kind of expressio could be made in a single choreo' includes Happy, Cool, AND SEXY. the sexy part was the most difficult part as we shall move our hips to the largest displacement =X. After the the choreo, before we go on to the next 'lecture' we are to showcase. This 'lecture's main purpose is to introduced us about some theory parts and what's dance can be categorised into.

After that. We are go for other lecture. All the 'lecture' was so nice and really helps us alot. The grandsenior themselves have their own genre to master. After the whole thing we are introduced with some really cool genre such as, House, Whacking, Locking, Popping, Bboy, Reggae, Hip Hop. Before i joined this club, I don't know any types of dance. After this camp, i felt so 'optional' XD, the seniors also keep asking about what genre are we heading .As for me, i choose for the Hip Hop. Hip hop is basically cool moves with fast action. After all the lecture in day1, we also called for bathing and den go to bed *early*. Infact, everyone's getting hungry and called for McD delivery. HAHA. The delivery came at 3 midnight. LOL. Hence, everyone's to bed after the meal XD.

Day 2 Fb's camp

All of us woke up at 645 and den wash up ourselves.Then headed to the stadium ran for 1.6km. Everyone look really sleepy but still we finish the 4 laps.Sadly on today, Famous popstar dancer, Michael Jackson died of heart attack. As a dancer, all of us felt sad because a once talented pop star died. We mourned by sitting down on the field under the sunlight by closing our eyes for 1 minute. AND THEN, we are splashed water by all the seniors!. Its a sudden attack. =X. Everyone laughed but all of us will still remember the contribution in dancing of MJ. Seniors planned a game for us, we are asked to 'decorate' up one of the member and name her/him a princess/prince with newspaper. We are also given some plastic bags. These plastic bags is to filled up with water. To win this game, we must throw the water plastic to opponent's princess /prince, the lessest the newspaper drops in their body, that's the winner. All of the guys in my team group, Zen,WeiKiat,Johnathan and myself strike our water plastics to the MAX. Neglected about the status of our princess in the castle! LOLX. When all of us got back, we found out that our princess has gone all wet! And we started to laugh and starts to defend her although its too late! The games then ends and the winner is the other group, SlumDope. As expected!

Sexy Dance Dumpling SDD's

We also headed back and change into dancing attire. This time we learn Hip Hop. As we are lack of time we only learn 8 counts. Then we are headed to one room and played some game.All of us get so HIGH~ We also made a cypher around us and started a freestyle show. its was so high that all of us enjoyed shouting and moving around! After that, all of us settle down and time for prize giving. Indeed, we are the winner! SDD's a winner~! with the points of 130!i think mostly is because of the passing small plastic paper by mouth game. All the team accepted the newspaper wrapping snacks, Depending how big it is only. All of us had fun in bidding. Sounds like a marketing person=X. All of us settle down and wait for the next activities which is watching movie, Dead Silence. Its was so freakingly scary. And the volume was so loud, i was just sitting beside the speaker>"<> is going to happen in the night walk lol. Then we are separated into a group of 4, 2 gals and 2 guys a group. Then we started to walk around the school following the glowing sticks. Weird sounds is keep happening and its freaking prompting. Throughout this activities, one gal from our gals started to cried. She is so scare that she actually asked us to stop this nightwall and head back. As a guy, i said some motivational lessons to her" Finish this night walk and great memories in the future awaits!" Sounds cool rite? XD. Then we just end our night walk. Infact, she is a very brave gal and have alot of stamina too. Crying from the beginning of this nightwalk till the end LOL. After that, all of us just go to bath and I was so tired, lack of sleeping through the whole camp. I was the 1st one to sleep! which is at 2 midnight =.=

Day3 Fb's camp

Today seems to be a very relaxing day, all of us can wake up at 8.00 ^.^ we then washed up ourselves and den headed to the Atrium in Block A. We are asked to prepare a choreo by ourselves in groups. For my group, we made a choreography successfully with the theme of 'zombie'. We discuss and practice very well in every steps. Finally we had done it! After the 2 hours in doing this preparating, all the groups are then asked to showcase. All the groups really did well, and has applied what had been learn in the past 2 days. All of the groups inserted every genre that had been learned. Not less with the seniors, they also made their own choreo. And finally, the grand seniors also showcase. They were so COOL!! XD

After the showcase and some brief motivation talk by our seniors and grand seniors, we are headed back to the room and started to pack everything up and leave the room. Later that, we have a photo taking session. For all, we made a video too, I will post the link in blogspot when the video is up in youtube ^.^

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HARD WORK IN MAKING THIS CAMP A SUCCESSFUL ONE!

CHEERS FBODZ!~

3rd Practice in Foreign Bodies

Another blog update. This blog is talking about my progression towards dance in Foreign Bodies Dance Club at week 7. Well, It's likely the same as the 2nd practice. This time, we warm up until all of the juniors sweats up.

After that, we are leaded by one of our seniors, Brandon, he is a very funny guy. He taught us how to do the *down* motion more correctly. He taught us very well, and among all the juniors can do as he said. He uses very good example in symbolize the down motion, not less with the jokes he made. Although it was lame, everyone laughed.He kept telling us that dance comes with music and dancing is to relaxing. DO not be tense in dancing.Later that, the seniors turn on the music loudly and let us freestyle in our own position to get ourselves cool down after absorbing how to do the *down* motion. All of us had fun!=D

Later that we are taught again by one of the GUY's incharge, Wei Min, he taught us the new choreography which is the most difficult move that i have ever seen. The moves seems to be easy, when i'm doing it, it's very difficult as my hip's nerve just won't move on the choreography. He said this moves will only be more attracting when the hips move swimmingly. After all the choreography is taught, we then try out the dance accompanied by music. Its was just so fast as it was like split-second in my mind after the whole song has been played. Many juniors can't catch up with the beat that counts. After practice and practicing, all of the juniors started hands-on with the beats of the music.

It's already 9.30 pm, kinda late already, the seniors stop us from practicing and tell us that we will showcase this dance later. All of us just went' WHAT?'. Obviously, we scared to showcase as it a very new and difficult moves for us. One of the seniors said that this showcasing is not judging whether u are taking part on the dance or not, it's just to make us to felt more familiar and comfortable in performing in front of people. I thinks that this showcasing really helps in the future. I can see a lot of dancer can dance well, but when they are on stage, they just couldn't remember all the moves and got frightened. Hence they stunned and creates a very weird situation in front of the audience.

After a short break, we got a number and then five by five started to showcase our moves. When it's my turn, i groove a lot and forget many moves when dancing in front of the seniors.Sweats. In facts, not only me that didn't dance well, a lot of juniors forgotten the steps too. Some are very excellent while showcasing. I just hope to be as good as them!. After that, they surely have to perform once again after picked by the seniors.The good one.

After the the showcasing, our president gave us some brief infomation about the camp that will lies on the week 10.After the whole thing, i just felt uneasy to forget all the moves, i will have to try harder and practices more to be a excellent dancer!
