Feeling desperate for a good session place, i went for a HDb hunt yesterday, and found BLK 151 as my next session place. Quite a smooth floor, with good ventilation. Few human traffic, thus, is best for my dance session! The partition wall is also perfectly situated, such that i can film my progress without much effort!

Just drop by at SGD (Singapore Got Dance) blog, and learned "how to learn" from a Food For Thought website. Really beneficial to me. Learning sources stated are:
1)Workshops
2)Classes
3)Courses
4)Sessions
5)Performances/Competitions/Battles
I realised i only learned from 2 sources, sessions and performances/battles. 1-3 can be really hard to me, as i'm not granted permission to dance from my parents.
An abstract: Then you take part in competitions or do performances, you learn how to handle stress, handle other people, expectations, make-up, competitor stress, peer pressure, wardrobe malfunctions, Jittery nerves, etc etc...
I found this really true! I had my first performance during my school's China trip in late 2007. I was really apprehensive, as i would have to perform to hundreds of students and teachers, and their principal. I told myself i must do it up to their expectations. I was still a very amateur bboy that time. This gave me more stress and worries, as i had to make do with my limited number of dance moves to choreograph with the music. I was a first timer for everything! Feeling hopeless, i decided to just throw all my basics down for the show. I combined the moves into sets with the guide of the music, and rehearsed for several times. Inopportunely, when ending my performance, i crashed from my handglide, after 20 spins. That was when i learned how to tackle such problems in shows. Luckily i was agile enough, i managed to do a suicide from my crash, disguised my crash as a part of my ending move. Thanks god! Nobody noticed it! ( I think so...) That moment of triumph was unforgettable, when the China students praised and applauded my show! All my stress, hard work, worries, finally paid off! I learned and experienced many things through this show, and promised myself, i will continue performing in the future. This is something which makes me feel stronger as a bboy, and resuscitated my confidence!
Although I have never joined any official competition/battles, at least i experienced it from battling with my friends. This helped me in managing taunts, and manipulating my dance with the music, and many essential skills in battles, like keeping yourself cool.

Hello all! I cant do the footwork with correct palm placement!!! urgh>.< That's frustrating! Coz of blisters formed after extensive compression on the joint of my middle finger. Really hurts! No choice! I have to compromise to do with full palm placement on the floor! Looks really sloppy and kills all the flow!

Curtains of rain pelted down from the heavens, washed away the last flame of hope on the candle. Who is willing to be the candle which burns itself to light up other people's life?
Okay i will get straight to the point! I have not went for the expedition! The weather is bad lately, which forced me to postpone my expedition! I tried my energy gels today during session. Really works! I was like a dead dragon that has been reborn! However, it just tastes too sweet... No wonder the army guy puked after consuming it! Need to drink some water to wash the gel down your throat! Anyway i'm working for clockwise footwork now, to give myself more style a variations! heehee! I'm going to suffer this training! it's like writing with ur left hand, when you are a right hander!

Marsiling -- Ang Mo Kio (MRT) run/walk expedition. This is my new planning. I will start from around 2-3pm. Unsure about the date. Should be next week. This is my plan.
1. Run from Marsiling to Yishun.
2. Rest at Northpoint, consume energy gel.
3. Yishun walk to Khatib to digest the water and energy gel, and also to rest.
4. Run from Khatib to Yio Chu Kang (Arduous obstacle). There are no infrastructures to block out sunlight or winds. Huge exposure.
5. Walk or run to Ang Mokio, depending on my energy and stamina level.
Total distance: I dont know. Should be at least 20Km.

I just found a better place for stairs climbing! It's Blk 28B/28A at Dover, near Dover MRT station. Just walk away from Singapore Polytechnic and u will see 3 tall blue HDB flats. Walk in to the vicinity, and u will see a cluster of super tall buildings, some are still under construction, while others completed. Just walk into that vicinity and u will see the signboard which depicts 28B/28A. Just climb it! The staircases are just behind and beside the lifts, in the lift lobby. Open the door and enjoy the postcard scenery at level 40! It has 760 steps, if my calculation is right.That means, just climb 1 full 40 storey, and then 29 more, and that will be a little more than 1336 steps! That's Swissotel's vertical marathon!
