Firstly, we have added 3 more members! so we have 8 nao!
1 from seven crew and 2 from If youre happy and you know it.
Xiangtian , Ronnie and Glen.
Although we are still called Joyce and the boys.
We sort of kicked out Joyce from the team.
just kidding.
so 6 of us (Joyce, sk, sophan, ron, Chin and me) are joining SBDC 2010
and 8 of us(6 + Xiangtian and Glen) are joining SDD.
and we are all pretty excited kids about the 2 upcoming competitions.
its going to be CRAZY!!!!!!

Ok a typical day of our training begins with…
SURPRISE!!!
3 or more members being late for practice. LOL
ok not that late but still late.
im not usually late LOL but…
I remembered once i woke up late because i played left4dead the previous night. and i was late for an hour.
and they sort of ban me from the game and scolded me.
but being the leader, i took advantage of the situation and i shouted at the top of my voice..
“THIS!!!!! IS!!!!!! SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
there was a moment of awkward silence.
but obviously it did not work and they still banned me from the game and scolded the shit out of me.
but i still play it secretly sometimes.
OPPS UH OH HOTDOG!

So yea it starts off with a few of us being a little late.
and then we all Warm up by ourselves.
which by there are members such as Sengkiat who open his legs, bend down. stretch just a few times, do about 5 crunches and say “OK STRETCHED ALREADY”
LOL sengkiat, we know you bloody always never stretch properly.
by the way, Sengkiat is an inspiration to the group.
why?
because Hes crazy.
why?
because Hes Crazy.
why?
because sengkiat Works full time, Studies Part time, Did not dance for 2 years during his National Service and still came back as strong as before. if not stronger. Game like mad on PC and his DS, has a girlfriend, Has a slipped disc, Has a torn ACL on his knee and an injured ankle.
AND STILL HE IS ABLE TO COPE AND DANCE SO WELL.
Tell me if he isnt crazy.
Sengkiat is AN INSPIRATION to us all!

well back to the point.
Stretching is always often accompanied by groans and moans. not because we are hanky panking with each other. but obviously because we are really hanky panky-ing with one another.
just kidding not farni. its because our muscles are so bloody sore after constant days of practice.

So after stretching, we ask one another. “So today do what?”
and we either decide on learning new steps or cleaning or formation or slack.
Most of the times being so smart, we would choose slacking.
then we realize that slacking isnt a feasible option because it is good to work hard and we want to be hardworking, and so we re choose to clean steps or learn steps. or go through formations.
and head straight into what we want to achieve that day.

A typical Cleaning day of JATB would be a typical cleaning day.
We just clean steps and try to make steps clean. Although there are always repeated shoutings at one another’s bad habits. Some of the more often ones includes,

Ronnie’s Dragon Claws.
Ronnie hands are always like in a claw position. becase he has so much swagg and feeling in him. his hands sort of suffer that dragon syndrome and thus when a step is supposed to be a FIST. his isnt. he tends to open his hands like a dragon claw and we would have to shout at him.

Joyce’s accents.
Joyce has so much accent in her that sometimes when the step is supposed to chill and relax. she does accents instead to indirectly show off what good body control she has. and thus, we have to scold her too.

Chin’s ribs.
Our teammate chin is so bloody thin and tall and has such long limbs that sometimes we shout at him for no reason
“WTF CHIN! WHY YOUR LIMBS SO LONG”
LOL. like there one step in his choreography that only he can do because of his long hands. the rest of us cant even reach where we were supposed to reach.
and Chin has a hard disk brain. he can totally freaking download stuffs into his brain and stores them there.
he can look at you dance a routine for 2 times. and i think he can download 85% of the bloody routine into his head.
his brain is that sick.
What do you expect from a 4.0 GPA results in studies LOL.

Sophan’s Inability to sing and count.
Sophan’s counting is so bad. enough said.
LOL!! the lyrics was supposed to be “After all this time”
he sang.. “All the all this time”
We do always make fun of him too.
just because he is Half malay, half chinese . LOL.
but well, its really all for fun. we dont really want to start a racial riot here.
sophan’s sort of the discipline master in our group. He does most of the stern shits. like i dont know what kind of stern shits. but you get the point. He’s the fierce one in the group that makes sure we do our job right. If not he would shout his favourite word.
“BUTOH!!!!” which means Fuck in Malay.
.

I think those above are the more prominent stuffs that always happen during cleaning or learning of steps ++
The rest are all usual stuffs and such .

A JATB training is ALWAYS accompanied by LOTS of laughter.
we are serious people when we train.
ok not really.
We laugh alot during training because there are so many cocksters in the group. which is good hahaha. trainings are always fun.
and Surprisingly, practices are efficient too! and we are all thankful for that.

So yea, after practicing and fulling out and being so freaking tired,
It ends with a cool down session that one of us randomly leads and we all cool down together, which is a very good feeling

And then we debrief, talk some stuffs about the day, about the next day, about irrelevant stuffs and relevant stuffs and then we put our hands on each other hands and sengkiat would say
“How many bullet?” *while our hands all raising up*
and we would all shout
“8 BULLETS!!!!!!” *slams our hands down together*
and then we all do a Gay street fighter jump in the air while shouting at the top of our voices
“HUAT!!!!!!!!!”
and that is our retarded and pointless group cheer that we have.
Retarded and pointless it may sound, its still a simple thing that bonds us together

That is why i love a typical JATB Training.
because we go through all sorts of things be it happy, funny, painful, sad, tired, frustrating, stress, and etc etc etc together and most importantly, grow together.
and when the day of the competition comes, we just do what we all love to do together,
showing people how much we love dance.

LETS GO JOYCE AND THE BOYS 2010!!

and shitkingz Workshop is tomorrow!!
IM SO DAMN EXCITED!!! :)

4 months 25 days to the day i finish my army too
cant wait.
I love my life. i love my girlfriend, my mum, my friends. and dance

And Happy VALENTINES DAY!
This year, V day happens to fall on the 1st day of lunar new year.
which sucked as most(90%) oh shops are closed haha.
Dammit! wanted to eat crabs with my girlfriend but apparently,
all chinese restaurants were closed.
oh well, we still had a fun fun valentine’s day!
i love you! cant wait to go through life with you
crabs soon!!!!! :)

And SBDC is in a little less than a month!
and SDD is coming in a little more than a month!
Joyce and the boys we need to chiong!
work hard like crazy and have faith

and i recently just caught 3 movies,
Percy Jackson kinda suck.
Its like Narnia, too kiddish haha. but still it isnt THAT bad.
a little on the cheesy side.

Valentine’s day on the other hand is GOOD!
its like america’s version of love actually and its good!
Julia Roberts acting was so good even though she only appeared for awhile.
and Taylor swift was super funny as the bimbo highschool girl hahaha.
the movie was sweet on the overall,
maybe because i watched it with my girlfriend, but seriously. it was a simple and sweet movie. kinda like love actually.

And True legend, which is about How the drunken fist was created wasnt that bad.
however there were alot of “fuck it” parts from the director that kept making us laugh in the movies.
LIKE!
the 4 henchmen buried the bad guy’s sister alive, which happened to be the Hero’s wife and the bad guy who was such a badass killed the 4 henchmen and thus YAY! nobody knows where the wife is buried.
(sidetrack, the reason why the bad guy wanted to bury his sister was because since they are family, means they must die together even if he died in battle. SICK bitch)
So Beggar Su (the creator of drunken fist) who happens to be the Hero. rushes in. fights the badass villian and kills him . So now the situation is. NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE WIFE IS! OH SHIT!
but surprise!!! the director must be pondering how to let the hero know where the wife is so the hero could rescue her! and i bet he could not think of anything and he decides ..”OH WELL FUCK IT!”
and when the hero run outs and there lay the 4 dead henchman and surprise! 1 of them was actually miraclessliously ALIVE! to whisper 1 last thing before he died.. “Shuuu… Linnn….” and then he died. LOL! shu lin means forest. so in the end the hero found and rescued the wife but it was too late, the wife died.
Lol the main point was the henchmen who whispered. “fo..rest…” LOL he was supposed to be DEAD!!!!! Dammit.

And another “director’s fuck it” part was when the villian defeated the hero at the start. he threw his body into the raging waters. which had a huge ass waterfall and. his WIFE decides to jump in as well! (resulting in the villian’s shouts of agony and killing more of his henchmen) So yea the the both of them feel into the waters and dropped down the waterfall. WHICH WAS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i mean HUGE.
and the next scene was… the wife woke up on a log and there there, THE HERO WAS BESIDE HER!
how the heck can 2 person fall down a very very huge crazy waterfall and end up on the same log!! dammit LOL.

the movie was quite funny as well(which im sure it wasnt supposed to be funny). the villian practiced 5 venom fist till he sort of turned evil as it was a dark art. and his voice turned funny. Lol he kept zao xia (going out of tune) . and it was quite funny hahaha. and other random parts. so yea i kinda like the fact that now i knew how drunken fist was created. but overall the movie was not too bad. but some parts were seriously too random Lol.

So yea, the new year holidays are over and im back at work.
but its ok. 5 more months and ill be done!! i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, its coming close!

Back to Lots of Joyce and the boys prac, dance classes, competitions, going out with my lovely girl, going out with my lovely friends and the continuous lack of rest and sleep!
till then GOODBYE!

I love my girlfriend, i love my friends, i love my mum and i love DANCE!
GONGXI GONGXI!

Title : Coming in like El Nino!

El Nino is spanish. It is the spanish word for child. Like all things spanish, it is dangerous. It kills people and burns down trees. This child is more than a child. It really isn’t a child at all. It is a storm. A deadly storm that kills people and burn down trees.

Warm water usually builds up around Australia. But not anymore with el nino. El Nino moves the warm water from australia to somewhere else, namely to other places. Where are these other places? These are places that also have water, but water that is not usually not as warm as the warm water El Nino moves to these said other places. These other places are to the east. Of the water.

In Peru, they have many names for many things. One of the things that have names for is for people who go fishing, go fishing to make a living. If we had a word for this kind of people that word would be “fisherman”. But we don’t. In Peru, they have different names for things that we do in America. They call that kind of people “pescadores”. That’s Spanish. That’s what they speak in Peru. When El Nino comes, these “pescadores” cant catch any fish. El Nino is caused when the peruvian gods get angry. They have been angry for millions of years and have made El Nino for millions of years. Many Many months ago, the peruvians commited human sacrifice to satiate their gods and end the flood that was caused by El Nino. In today’s modern dog-eat-dog work-a-day world of scientists, diplomats, McSalad Shakers and George Bush Jr. We no longer have access to such solutions. We are too proud. We will not commit human sacrifices. We refuse to satiate the peruvian gods. Thus, they remain angry and keep killing us and burning down our trees with El Nino.

Instead of satiating the gods, many of these “scientists” have tried to control El Nino with “science”. They put up expensive fish-attracting-bueys that run on flashlight batteries. Imagine, fighting the power of the gods with flashlight batteries. Needless to say, this didn’t work and everyone died.

Lol and heres another 2 one taken from some random tests. HAHA
kids really do the dumbest shit.

Dumbo, you’re so sickkkkk and crazy! bitchhhh!!!!!!

OH and you can ask me QUESTIONS AT
http://www.formspring.me/terencethen
I will answer it if i can! its fun!!!! register formspring! its gooddd haha.

Firstly although there are shitty things that happened in 2009, i feel the amount of good things. the amount of blessed things, holds a extremely high weightage when compared to the shitty things.
2009 was a gooooood year
and 2010 will be better! im sure!

I think there are MAINLY 2 person and 1 thing that im just so thankful for. for everything.
My mum. My girlfriend and Dance.
Not many of you know but im from a single parent family.
yes. bet you did not know. haha..
And im not ashamed of it. Because there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Some people are. but for me i feel there isnt a need to be ashamed of something like that because im proud of my mum.
I cant ever recall how my dad sounds like. i can only vaguely remember how he looks like. and he was a great chef. but a bad man.
but i WILL learn from his mistakes. and i WILL be a great dad to my family in the future. i WILL learn from his good comings as well.
I love to cook and i probably inherited that from him, i cant wait to be my family’s home chef. and cook for my friends when they come over to my place in the future.
I guess we used to be rich too when he was around. nice house.. nice cars.. maids.
And it was hard to adjust when he left. Not the emotional part. i have never EVER felt emotional about losing a dad. but when youre young and you are used to maids. and suddenly you have no maids to do everything for you. its quite hard to adjust in that sense. no more cars no more maids no more nice big house.
But we did anyway and my mum is the only one working now to bring up my 2 sisters and i. she stayed through everything and she ALWAYS try to give us the best. Sometimes you wonder how the heck you can get such a good mum. because i did. and its a miracle to have such a mum like that. My mum is the nicest. She NEVER complains about working hard to support us. She ALWAYS try to give us the best and NOT buying stuffs for herself. but for us..
She worked hard to put my sister through NUS. She worked hard to put me through all my education and through poly. She worked hard to put my younger sister through private school. she did it all. Alone.
It funny how parents lie get to give you the best.
Although im rarely home, everytime im home on an afternoon and she comes back with food like maybe mos burger WHICH i know its actually for herself.
She will just say “you eat the food, i ate already”
or “i eat just now already, very full”
when the truth is that the burger was for herself. im sure.
Parent love is really amazing.
Im really very sad my mum is working so hard for us.. but shes the best mum ever and i guarantee she will have a good life in the future
Im not from a Well to do family due to just my mum working. i USED to be ashamed of it. but as i got older i realised there isnt a need to be ashamed of not being rich because you are rich in other ways that money cant buy.
Im rich in terms of friends, dance, life, love and so many other things that money can never buy and im proud of myself that i am who i am today.
And my mum isnt demanding. Like most parents that object their sons and daughters from pursuing dance. she supports me a hundred percent. and most importantly, shes proud of me. I know dance cant allow me to have a big car. a big house. many maids and buying many branded goods. but are all this really important? my mum proved all this are not that important. those are overrated stuffs. Money doesnt buy happiness.
Happiness buys everything.
I love you mum, i will work hard in dance and make you even prouder.
i want you to be very very proud of your son’s achievements in life and in something he loves so much, which is dance.
i will have a happy marriage and learn from dad’s mistakes.
and i will give you a good life in the future.

I also want to thank my girlfriend from CHONGQING.
Shes from szechuan and i love szechuan food.
although shes been in singapore like for so many many years already.
and although shes doesnt have a china accent because shes from szechuan. i hate the beijing accent hahaha.
but still shes my china number one pingpong player.
I think without her, i would have never pulled through all the shitty things in 2009. She is always always there for me and im thankful for that. She teaches me how to be a better person and i can eat spicy food now thanks to her hahaha.
its almost 2 years since we got together and so far it has been amazing to share my life with you. and im sure it will get more and more amazing with all the plans we have. and it will come true
because she special. and im not. and in turn she makes me special. so we both get special yay!
Thank you for always being there, thank you for always being so understanding and thank you for accepting me for who i am.
Cant believe we were close friends who always bicker with each other before we got together. haha i think a long time ago if the thought of us getting together crossed my mind i think i would puke hahah! but im glad we did and im glad we were close friends before we got together. i feel at home when im with you
Cant wait to share my life with you. share everything with you.
Thank you for everything wangqin i love you!
2010 will be amazing with you around followed by 2011, 2012..2032.. till we grow old and still play l4d version 20 together hahaha. see you in our future my dear girl

And dance. Wow i still cant believe i found a thing like dance.
I just want to say i am so thankful for this.
I will work harder. Dance is going to be my life im sure.
I just love it so so much and i love it more and more.
i may have an irreversible injury and i hate it like FKING crazy, but its not going to stop me. NEVER
I think its the first ever thing i love so much and the first thing that im proud of myself for.
I will continue to keep learning, sharing and keep going and i am going to make it. I WANT TO MAKE IT and I WILL!! START BEING POSITIVE TERENCETHEN!
I love you dance. you gave me a life

2010 will be filled with competitions in the first half i guess.
going to be very very busy and hardcore soon. got to start taking further good care of my injury. Joyce and the boys are back! im so damn excited!! hahaha. Singapore Best Dance Crew, and Singapore Dance Delight Vol 1. HERE WE COME!!! chiong!!!
I love the songs we chose hahahaa. yay hardcore anime special plus dance dance revolution here we come!! cant wait to chiong faster choreo and dance it hahaha. lets do this guys, its time for us to put in 200% hardwork 5%talent and 70% fun and 25% positive stress
And after SBDC and SDD ends, its going to mark the end of my DAMN ARMY!!! FINALLY! i can see the light already. then time to work even harder for my future with wangqin!! cant wait.

So yea i think 2010 will be great!
i want to thank my friends too for everything. i love my friends.
so so much
and also i want to thank Ann tan again for accepting me into nra. because that is where my life started. thank you ann.
Thank you mum. Thank you Wangqin, Thank you Dance, Thank you Friends, and thank you Life.
Oh i realised i have not even mentioned my new year resolutions for 2010 yet.
Ok ill keep it short!
Be a better son, be more hardworking, learn more, share more, experience more, dance more,give more, understand more,love more, be a better boyfriend, be a better dancer, be a better instructor, be more positive and be more thankful towards what i have rather than dwell over what i dont have and to make my mum, my girlfriend and my friends proud of me

Goodbye 2009, you have been such a great year.
2009. a year of wangqin, Joyce and the boys, Vegas, If youre happy and you know it clap your hands, NRA, good friends, good times, l4d2, ALOT of Dance, physiotherapy, happiness, sadness, grief, bliss, frustration, pessimism, optimism and everything else with much much love in between everything else

anyway, i wanted to post a post that said YAY last post of 2009!
but it did not happen. Why? im not really sure..
MAYBE it’s because i was out with the rest playing l4d2.
DAMN we are so damn addicted to l4d2.
recently all of us have been playing every weekend. and it just never gets boring esp when you are playing with your close friends hahaha. so much fun and laughter. We dont even watch movie much anymore. just play l4d2 LOL. bloody addicts.
sometimes while in the midst of playing.. i ask myself in my head “why am i playing this when i could be at studio practicing dance?”
“should i use this time instead to practice? or choreo?”
but the next moment.. “HUNTER! HUNTER!! SAVE ME FASTER PU BOURS!!! FASTER LAA WA LAO!!!”

So im actually quite guilty about it. But its ok because im having fun with my friends lots of fun. and i love my friends. and i know although i want to dance like every single day 24/7 . i cant.
i have to balance it all out between girlfriend, friends, injuries, rest ++. which is a good thing, because those are the things that completes my life together with dance
and i wish to spend more time with my mum too if possible.
but i think so far im balancing it well haha so yea! L4d2!! lol.
i cant even imagine people like My girlfriend, ah yi, yen, von, ling would all be so addicted. oh and even allegra LOL. so yea. recently when we all go out together, it isnt movies anymore or chilling. its always left4dead 2. SO GUYS! THIS SATURDAY OK? HUNTER! HUNTER!! SAVE ME FASTER PU BOURS!!! FASTER LAA WA LAO!!!

and yea 6 more months till i finish army! i can see the light at the end of the tunnel already! im reall sick of waking up so early everyday while heading home so late at night everyday due to dance.
and i hate my injury. like fking hate it. but whats there is there.
i hate the feeling of coming to studio with my injury hurting and NOT FEEL like doing anything at all but deep down i just want to dance like crazy. my mind and heart’s willing but my body isnt. but then again.. everything happens for a reason.. i just have to be stronger.
i think abt it all the time. like what if it gets worse. im only 22. and i want to dance for a long long time. but damn .
I should not even be thinking about all this and just be thankful for the present and work HARDER and STRONGER for the future.
ITS THE BLOODY NEW YEAR AND I HAVE TO STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE.

Anyway, sunday is Joyce and the boys meeting!!! cant wait to discuss and meet for the upcoming competitions haha! and i cant wait for Sat’s l4d2 too!

And Took Nra crew class on tuesday, Yen taught, i loved the choreo thank you yen! and Yuxin’s teaching today!! cant wait!

Tomorrow Wangqin would be going for Tao Ze’s concert!

Might talk about my new year resolutions in my next post!
till then ,
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! I hope the new year brings everything positive for every single one of you
I love my life, my girlfriend, my mum, my friends, dance, food, l4d2 and i really should stop being so negative and start believing in myself. start believing in others

till then, im off!

“The book tells the story of Max, who one evening plays around his home, “making mischief” in a wolf costume. As punishment, his mother sends him to bed without supper. In his room, a mysterious, wild forest and sea grows out of his imagination, and Max sails to the land of the Wild Things. The Wild Things are fearsome-looking monsters, but Max conquers them “by staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once”, and he is made “the King of all Wild Things”, dancing with the monsters in a “wild rumpus”. He soon finds himself lonely and homesick, and he returns home to his bedroom, where he finds his supper waiting for him, still hot.”

Seriously cant wait for the movie.
AND I LOVE THE OST!!! KAREN O IS GENIUS!.
and the song Wake up by Arcade Fire is also freaking genius.
i could listen to the album + arcade fire’s wake up all day.
Here is the trailer to Where the wild things are.
The song in the trailer is Arcade fire’s wake up
I seriously think Wake up is by far one of the most EPIC song i have ever heard. it seriously makes you drift into some unknown space when you listen to it. I might even cry if i listen to the song with extremely extremely good headphones .
and yes im serious its really that epic.
to me at least.
Most of the songs in the OST is really good too.
I love songs that brings you places when you listen to it.
and to me. most songs in Where the Wild things are OST made me feel exactly that way. that is why i love the OST so much.

If you guys have not bought the OST, you should. its awesome!
i love this song especially! its called All is love by Karen O and the kids!
hope to choreo to this song soon for maybe Danzation!!!!

Freaking good. CANT WAIT!
Anyway, back to life, so far im still doing good.
Taking a break from competitions till Singapore best dance crew 2010 with joyce and the boys and Singapore dance delight 2010.
For now im working on self improvement, getting my basics right.
working on muscle control. trying to choreograph to more pieces. and just take classes till the competitions next year
taking popping classes too at studio wu every friday too if i can make it.
Died in class the other day when Robin replaced michael.
my basics are freaking bad! but im glad because when i started popping ive got nobody to learn from and i had to sort of learn mostly by myself and i have not actually REALLY gone into popping. but i still love it and practice some of the foundations alot because when i dance i know im using alot of popping foundations to help me.
So im super glad and thankful that im actually learning the CORRECT basics now!
and i know when i get the basics right its gonna help my control alot as well as well as muscle control and cleanliness and so many other factors
gonna practice ALOT
Im also trying to find a place that teaches Percussion Tapdance.
I know Jitterbugs 1 is more of broadway tap. the jazz kind.
so hope i find a place that teaches percussion tap soon!!
then i can buy the shoes and start LEARNING!
And im trying to keep choreographing to pieces. like longer pieces. 8 8s at least. i really love to choreograph but seriously its still so so hard to me. I still cant fully express the way i want to when i choreograph. but its ok. im gonna try and try and work at it and get better!

And soon is sugar spice and everything nice’s competition.
WISH them good luck! win it!
