Dance Floor Performance Round 2: Rock n Roll

Last night was quite a major scare... for Styles From Beyond and their fans that is. The sextet ended up at the Bottom 3 along with Break Force Crew and Soul Fusion when the flashing red lights landed on them during their dance item at the very start of the 2nd performance round of The Dance Floor. The biggest irony was, all 3 groups were judges' choices. After Soul Fusion was announced to be safe, the tension kept building up for the two hip-hop groups. When Glenn told SFB "Im sorry to say..." I thot it was going to be the end for them, but then I heaved a deep sigh of relief when Glenn continued. "... that you will be staying on for one more week." And wif that, Break Force Crew, the very first team to get into the Top 10, became the very first team to be eliminated.
While it was not my first time being at the Mosh Pit (I had been there 4 times during Singapore Idol), it was certainly my first time being at the Mosh Pit for the Dance Floor shows, and at a HIGHER LEVEL too. Also, it was my very first time being featured upclose on TV for more than 5 seconds, esp when FD and Glenn got to the upperm levels to be filmed. And Jade was SMOKIN HAWT in a red-white floral dress... can see she's improving her hosting skills (never mind if the critics think that she's a 'jade hua ping'.)

The teams that performed rock and roll...

1. Melvin and Sharon... tho they melted our hearts wif their saucy moves and good looks, they didnt seem to meet the judges' expectations. Melvin's shades seemed to be a huge handicap when it comes to facial expressions.



2. Vas and Pris... much better than last week, wif plenty of sez appeal. And Vas made gals swoon wif his dead-on impersonation of James Dean. Pris losing some baby fat and looking hotter.



3. Break Force Crew... ELIMINATED



4. Batucadas... their dance seemed ok lah, but chereography a bit messy.



5. E- Squared... urghhh please, enough of the cheerleading nonsense. Stop trying to flash your panties/cleavage and flashing your dimples to gain more votes. And Esther, can I say that u look older than 16?? Abt time u gals go concentrate on your studies.



6. Fantastic Four... geeky and somewhat effeminate at their best.



7. Platinum... cuter then E Squared, full of energy, and vast improvement from last week.



8. Styles from Beyond... some improvement but a bit too ordinary. Not forgetting the near-elimination earlier on.



9. Soul Fusion... improving as well, this is indeed the group to beat. All 4 members are many times cuter than E Squared. And that gorilla mascot in the audience stole the whole thunder!!



10. J.D.I.... I dunno but I somehow feel that their performance like a carbon rip-off from Fantastic Four. They dont seem to be in top form. But I kinda like the nice contortion-like finish.

Random Thoughts on school, flying monks, etc

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ADAM LEVINE (MAROON 5) AND STEVE "STING" BORDEN

The school holidays haf just begun... and already I got something to talk about...
U see, Im not entirely pleased with the attitudes of some of my classmates on Friday... a few of them like Hakim, Darham and Rashidah came after 1040 hrs... thats ok but they should haf at least come a little earlier like say before 10 am, not at the very last minute? Im greatly disappointed by the overall attitudes of those three along wif others like Nina and Illi... it's either they hardly come to school or they didnt even complete any assignments. And to think that Nina and Illi are STUDENT COUNCILLORS when they're actually setting a very bad examples not only for their friends, but also for THEMSELVES!!! >:-@
And the worst case of all is Danial... he told the examiners at around 1020 hrs that he will be reaching school at around 1045 hrs latest... YET WHAT HAPPENED?!?! Dan reached the Smart lab at 1115 hrs... WAY PAST THE 30-MINUTE MARK!!! And as a huge consequence, he had to stay back for another 6 months!! SORE LOSER!!! U sure got what u deserved!!! >:-<
Another thing I want to digress is Venerable Shi Ming Yi's attempts to complete a mountaineer-like stunt across the City Hall building (read: 25 freaking storeys!!) on Sunday night. I got respect for the man, but I think his decision to do that stunt is seriously inhuman. Ming Yi's not even God, and he could die from a heart attack given that rigorous routine of climbing (doesnt help either that he's not getting any younger). To make things worse, Gurmit Singh pushed things too far wif his 'rather forceful requests' which goes something like, "Imagine you being that person in bed who is too sick to even say 'thank you' or 'I love you'... we can do this together... all you haf to do is pick up the phone and donate." AW COME ON Gurmit... do u think everyone is going to do exactly what u tell them to do?!? As far as Renci is concerned, I wont fall for this kind of trick by wasting my money on charity shows...

Comm Chest event at Tiong Bahru Plaza part 2: the pictures

Here are some pics i took at Tiong Bahru Plaza on Sat evening! :-)

Comm Chest event at Tiong Bahru Plaza part 1: the info

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YONG CHAO AND WEIQIANG

Jopeh hen mei wor... never mind if she admitted to being one who tends to shoot her mouth at times, we still love her all the same :-)

Days before the actual event, I purposely re-scheduled my timing to work from 10 am to 4 pm on Sat. Prior to arriving at TB Plaza, i purposely went to Bugis Junction to await the arrival of a certain Masked Rider... sure enough, Masked Rider Blade surprised me first by tapping my shoulder while i was looking thru the toys... I thot that tall slim chick wif him was HAWT. After a good 10 minutes of snapping pics of him wif various people, I decided to take a train to TB Plaza. It was the very place where I first saw Rui En upclose (as a celeb that is)

After going around the place place for 're-familiarization', I eventually saw Rina and 2 more friends at Burger King, and decided to join them in waiting (later cutie pie Adria joined us). At around 6pm, there was this young guy (forgot his name) who sang a few songs... "An Jing" by Jay Chou, "Sway" by Michael Buble, "The Greatest Love Of All" By Whitney Houston, and "Kiss Goodbye" by Wang Lee Hom. There was also a hip-hop duo who wowed the people wif their dance moves (i thot the gal was cute)... dunno if they auditioned for The Dance Floor before that.
At 1830 hrs exactly, Jopeh and Bryan Wong arrived. David Leong was the host of the Community Chest event just like last year. The two celebs picked two male contestants for a flower painting competition, then they went around the station to look thru the various letters wirtten on the charity cards. After that, they picked two female participants to play a game of Connect 4. Jopeh and Bryan then left the place at around 1915 hrs. Overall the event was worth enjoying!! :-)

F**king pissed off!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVA LONGORIA, MING THAI and TOMOKO-n-KEIKO (twins!)

I just survived from another grueling session of 'Private Sales Madness' less than 24 hours ago... at first I thot that everything was going quite smoothly, but it was around 7 pm that the customer traffic got a lot worse... so bad that I had to work overtime for 1.5 hours. OBVIOUSLY IM REALLY PISSED LOR... not just wif the ignorant customers but also wif MYSELF!! I should haf known better than to 'deliberately' damage the printer!!
Even after knocking off from work, I was still feeling rather numb and confused. If I were to continue torturing myself at such a rate, I would go insane. This is certainly not worth the 'voluntary' overtime work. My plans to resign are still in progress, but I think I know the exact date to drop the bombshell... in the meantime, wish me the best in my MIT (Media Integration) exam that's abt to commence in a few hours from now...
On a personal note, I hope those two hopeless losers Mr F and 'Mr' E get FIRED from school for good... I wont be surprised if they are no longer part of the school system come next month at the end of the month-long vacation... after all, they got what they deserve.

Dance Floor Performance Round 1: Disco theme, baby!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RANDY CHUA, DANIEL GOH AND JIA QUN

The Top 10 groups boogied their way to the disco theme in The Dance Floor. Of the few, only abt 3 groups impressed the judges greatly. There werent any major letdowns, tho groups like Breakforce Crew and J.D.I. weren't as polished as they were in the shuffle rounds... prob bcos they weren't so comfortable in those super-tight bell bottoms?

1. Batucadas Song title: "Sorry" by Madonna
2. Fantastic Four Song title: "I Don't Feel like Dancing" by Scissor Sisters
3. E Squared Song title; 'Play That Funky Music"
4. Vas and Pris Song title: "Can't Get Enough Of Your love" by Barry White
5. Break Force Crew Song title: "Funky Town"
6. Soul Fusion Song title: "That's The Way I Like It"
7. Styles From Beyond Song title: "Hot Stuff"
8. J.D.I. Song title: "Set Me Free"
9. Melvin and Sharon Song title: "Get Down On It" (most recent rendition by BLUE)
10. Platinum Song title: "On A Night Like This"

Unlike Singapore Idol where the contestant with the lowest number of votes gets eliminated at the end of the results show, there is no result show for the Dance Floor; moreover, the team with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated at the very start of next Wed's episode, and this means that everyone is entitled to vote as many times as they like for one whole week. So keep voting to keep your fave group in the competition! :-)

Extremely disappointing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SK (loser!), ESTHER, CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND VICKI ZHAO

I was shocked to learn abt the overall attendance for today's lessons... ONLY 8 TURNED UP!! Today was supposed to be the deadline for the storyboarding project, yet it seems that majority of the class dont give a damn. And to make things worse, some of the absentees haf actually chosen to work instead of go to school (except for those who haf no choice)... what the hell is wrong wif them?!? I would NEVER forsake studies for work... even if it means having to head straight to work after finishing lessons rather late on certain days.
As far as the attendance and attitude for the usual absentees is concerned, these few are CONFIRMED to be fired soon... Mr F, Miss/Mr E, Miss N, Miss I, Miss R and Mr DN. Leave you to figure out who they are.
Privates Sales Madness is coming this Thursday, and already I am starting to haf nightmares. And I am still struggling to decide which month to really resign for good. But it will definitely NOT be after June.

Things to do IF I were to possess super powers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MILLY KHOO, JEREMY, ZHEWEN AND ANTHONY

If I had special powers, I would do the following...
- fill up the ice chamber with cryokinetic powers (see Iceman or Sub-Zero)
- clean up all the tables and serve the food with superhuman speed (see Callisto or Flash)
- take down the orders of every customer without the need to ask them by mouth, aka telepathy (see Professor X or Jean Grey)
- track down other people's whereabouts wif 'spider-sense' (see Venom or Carnage)
- teleport from the workplace to the rubbish dump and back again (see Nightcrawler)
- fly from my school to my workplace at supersonic speed (see Superman)
- swing around or jump at greats heights from Orchard to Kovan within minutes (see Spider-Man)
- duplicate myself so that one 'dupe' can stay at home to watch Tv, while another 'dupe' goes out to watch movie, and another 'dupe' goes to work (see Multiple Man)

The list goes on and on...

Another song dedication to my crush

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NORMAN THEN, PAUL TWOHILL, JASON TAN (PSS finalist) AND HUANG BIREN

I was very surprised to bump into HER yet again at Suntec City... barely a week after I last saw her at PS!! :-O Turns out that she went for a career fair wif her folks, while I was just abt to enter the other exhibition hall for the Baby Care Festival (see previous post). While I cannot be certain if I would be going for the SMU Open House this coming Sat, I got a strong feeling that I might just bump into her again. Oh dear, here comes the 'pop song angst' again... :-p

WHEN YOU COME AROUND- WESTLIFE

The day I was leaving I was feeling insecure
I thought I had thrown away all of those days
And what we had before
And now I believe it after all you had to say
I thought about every day in every way
And this is what I'll say now baby

You don't have to worry cos everything's all right
I know that you'll get me, that you'll get me through the night

Chorus
When you come around
You know you'll pick me up when I'm feeling down
And I want you to know, baby how can I show
Do I have to scream and shout?
When you come around
You only have to smile and you knock me out
But I'm here on the floor, and I'm ready for more
Baby that's what love's about

There's so many reasons why our love is guaranteed
So many reasons why I can't hide
Just what you mean to me
So say what you're thinking while you're sitting next to me
Let all your feelings show, just let me know
Just how it's meant to be now baby

You don't have to worry cos everything's all right
I know that you'll get me that you'll get me through the night

When you come around
You know you pick me up when I'm feeling down
And I want you to know, baby how can I show
Do I have to scream and shout
When you come around (oh baby)
You only have to smile and you knock me out
But I'm here on the floor and I'm ready for more
Baby that's what love's about

You don't have to worry, cos everything's all right
I know that you'll get me, that you'll get me through the night
Woahhhh

When you come around (when you come around)
You know you pick me up when I'm feeling down (feeling down)
And I want you to know, baby how can I show
Do I have to scream and shout
When you come around (oh baby)
You only have to smile and you knock me out (knock me out)
Well I'm here on the floor and I'm ready for more (ready for more)
Baby that's what love's about
When you come around (when you come around)
You know you pick me up when I'm feeling down (feeling down)
And I want you to know, baby how can I show (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Do I have to scream and shout (yeah yeah yeah)
When you come around...

Event at Suntec Convention Hall

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVA MENDES AND EMILEE KANG

Well the Baby Care Festival event at Suntec Convention Center wasnt really that interesting (the segment on the money Meg promo lasted for only half an hour!!)... even if Rachelle and Ezann were on stage (along wif Justin and Jason Tan). I realized that my support for Ezann wasnt as strong as the support I had for other artistes like Rui En, Joanne and Felicia. It doesnt help either that the sweet-faced one will be returning to her studies by July... she's still uncertain whether she would continue acting soon after. I did take quite a lot of photos, but due to time constraints wif school and work, I would only upload the best selected few, as well as other pics I took outside Suntec.
