BUSY!

hi everyone, long time since i updated,
just wanted to do a short one!
firstly im sick of my blog outlook LOL, everytime come in see that stupid vietnam ranger with bumblebee mask face. so i might be changing the outlook soon.
but when i say soon, it means maybe 4 months later Lol,
because im busy and im lazy and since im lazy and im busy i will be very busy to be lazy and become lazier with each busier day does that make sense this is the longest sentence in the world because i have not added a fullstop at all and i dont intend on adding one soon to make this the longest ever sentence ever to be posted on my blog.

Anyway, just some short updates on my side.
SBDC is over! many many things have or have not happened that i do not wish to talk about. but JATB is very very happy for freekzy! guys work hard and rep it hard for singapore at worlds! you guys would love every minute of it!
except the part of the air being too dry and you will pretty much have nose bleeds and bleeding throats everyday.
but other than that! work hard! play hard!! treasure it! and do singapore proud!!! its going to be great :)
its going to be an experience of a lifetime.
i mean.. ITS VEGAS! hahaha. remember to see the bellagio fountains please. that is just awesome. it takes your breath away! and shop like crazy at factory outlets!!!! 30 sing dollars for a second pair of vans shoes. 30 singapore dollars for nice long sleeved designed shirts. only 90 -110 bucks for supras and 29 for a damn dickies . you guys will seriously go crazy there. once you shop at vegas. you wont even want to shop in singapore again hahaha. and of cos work super duper hard !! singapore would be waiting for good news :) have a safe rich fun fulfilling trip :)

REGARDING SBDC 2010 APOLOGY

As the leader of Joyce and the Boys, i would need to address a serious issue to clear things up.
i would be apologising for myself as team leader.
i would be apologising for my group, Joyce and the Boys
and finally, hopefully apologising for the members of the public and our friends who might have posted comments and statuses on their facebook that might pose the intention of defaming the event and A Team Promotions Pte Ltd.

Dear Mr Raja Shagaran
Creative Director
The A Team Promotions Pte Ltd/ Hip Hop International Singapore

Letter of Apology for Defamation

I have reviewed the statement defaming your company and the organisers of SBDC 2010 that is posted on my Facebook profile. I Understandably am disappointed with my attempt to harm your reputation and good will and to interfere with your business relations.

By posting the statement on my Facebook profile, I have published it to the world at large and am liable to the A Team Promotions Pte Ltd and the organisers of SBDC 2010 for defamantion and intentional interference with economic relations. I may think that the statement I posted is merely an expression of my opinion and I cannot be liable. If so, I am mistaken.

I have wrongfully accused the A Team Promotions Pte Ltd and the organisers of SBDC 2010 of tampering with the results. thus, I have made a false and unprivileged statement. Additionally, based upon the statement made and the context in which it was made, I can only conclude that i was intentionally interfering with the A Team Promotions Pte Ltd and the organisers of Singapore’s Best Dance Crew 2010/Hip Hop International Singapore business and prospective business relations.

I have personally reviewed all the final result scores of the judges as shown to me on this day and am fully satisfied with the contents of the score sheets and truly am sorry for the false accusation based on speculations from friend and/ or the public.

Accordingly, I will (1) immediately remove the statement on my FaceBook profile, (2) post this letter of apology on facebook notepad immediately or within 24 hrs (3) cease posting statements about your company and the organisers of SBDC 2010, and (3) cease making references to your company, SBDC 2010, events whatsoever. If i fail to do so, the A Team Promotions Pte Ltd and the organisers of Singapore’s Best Dance Crew 2010/Hip Hop International Singapore will be forced to take action against me and seek recovery of the substantial damages my actions have caused the company and the organisers of SBDC 2010.

Yours Truly,
Mr Terence Then
Team Leader of Joyce and the Boys,
Finalists of Singapore’s Best Dance Crew 2010.

A typical day of a JATB training

So yea i have nothing to BLOG about so im just going to do a very random blog post that crossed my mind.
Since i have trainings right now almost everyday with JATB because of
Singapore Best Dance Crew and Singapore Dance Delight Vol1 .
i shall blog about a typical day of a Joyce and the Boys training.

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 :)
