Dancing Workshop

I have always had this thought that dancing was the expression of the soul, how one feels or expresses from within outwards. Probably for some people, those thoughts can't come out as the thoughts that was visualized in the mind. Due to that, dancing technique that's portrayed comes out in a very disorderly manner. For example me, I tend to dance to my own to express myself when I am in the room alone, where no one sees me do so. But deep down I wanna do all those popping and like extravagant moves that can impress people too besides my personal time dancing wildly.

Many style of dancing out there, some suit, some don't. Went for a workshop today, out of the few dances that was available for learning for FREE, I picked 2 dances out of 4. Guess it was pretty obvious what I will choose if anyone would have looked at the types of dances being offered on the board. I picked Latin and Free styling. It was kinda fun if only I wouldn't have been so self conscious about my appearance of how I looked while dancing to the music (won't mention what was actually bothering me in my self conscious).

I did enjoy the Latin dance a lot though, only hope for more time...since being away from home for the weekend doesn't help making "attending classes" any easier.

As for now, can only look forward to finishing up this semester with BOMB in a good way.



 

Kit Kat Musical SHOCKWAVESSSS

That's right folks, the 1st Ever Youth Street Music Festival !!

Street Music do not seem very popular in this part of the world a.k.a Malaysia. So due to that, MYC wanted to be able to provide a platform and an opportunity to hone the many talents among the young people of Malaysia. One of it was giving them an opportunity to engage in music, dance, and generally in the showbiz industry.

the floor where the audience are

A competition was held quite a while back for the students of the local colleges and universities. So thru this event, 11 bands were selected to be of the top finalists and were part of this glamorous night tonight here at Jaya 1. Different style of playing that range from the most common musical instruments such as drums, guitar, keyboard up till the most creative type of sound producing instruments (percussion) were heard tonight. Different groups have different forms of attracting the audience, never once there was a dull moment during the competition.

Taylor's college music band

The audience tonight were really into the music that was performed on stage by every group there was. It was a lively scene to behold. I could see people dancing to some songs, or just being themselves expressing themselves thru minimum movements following the flow of the music. Some were moving around violently, jumping but I guess they too were into the songs that were played.

The deco that night featured a Christmas decoration, you could see snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, Santa Claus hanging from a pine tree branch, and many other colorful ornaments, with stage lights that were of different color bringing out the appearance of the stage giving the crowd and people around with a sense of excitement and suspense to see what's next.

The Mob!lers that night got to enjoy the food as well, pretty much sponsored by our host, MYC themselves. Very thankful for the meal that we get to taste. I personally never tasted food that's from Starbucks so tonight was my first and I am grateful for that. I got to try the Banana Chocolate cake, Chic O cheese, and a Peppermint Mocha Frappucino. The Banana cake has a rough texture on one side of it while I would say the overall has a soft appeal to my taste buds, while the Chic O cheese which consist of a puff together with a sausage wrap in between. It was a really enjoyable meal that I had, apart from the noisy background that we were in a.k.a the competition that was going on at that point (can't blame it on them since we wanted to review the event, so we had to choose a suitable spot to do so).

Apart from the bands that competed tonight at the event, there were other sides events that caught the attention of the crowd. Such were fire eating man, spontaneous dancing competition (participants from the crowd) and a rhythmic clapping competition also from the crowd. The crowd was a very spotting one as they were able to participate in those events really well, and in much enthusiasm.

I personally got involved in the dancing competition. The participants were given a song that they have to dance to, there were 3 girls and 3 guys. The MC hinted us that this was the most popular song at that point of time in the world, 890 million viewers and guess what? It was just cliches Gangnam Style. I wasn't ready to show off moves for it since I did not get into that Gangnam fever that was going at that time, so in other words I wasn't very interested to learn how to dance like someone who is riding on a horse. Anyway it turned out fun for me, although I didn't score much on the cheering part that comes from the audience.

So overall, being part of this event has been fun just listening and observing, at the same time enjoying much of the performance that was held that night. The food and and experience were great too. Priceless.

What's With Apps?

Truth be told, I was never really that interested to see all the types of apps in this world for the smartphone. Like no kidding, there are so many of the same kind of apps that make it so hard to decide which is the best to be used.

Not to mention that I have that perspective that apps of a phone were just toys in a phone. Something that people could play around with, without any real purpose or reason as to why they are created other than the thought of using it to fool around or just to kill time. Believe me, I didn't give much thought as to how an app was born out of creativity besides all that mumbo jumbo coding, programmings, flow charts, and algorithms that could have been involved to create it. The thought of all those things that pertained to computer codes tend to switch off the button that's on me.

I would say after attending this event, Samsung Appstar 2012. I gained a new perspective of what it was like for those to have come up with ideas for new apps. Although I have not been following up on the progress of those app creators for the last 5 months, but I am sure I start to understand that creating an app is not by sitting in front of a computer or even being isolated away from the world just to generate and bring forth a new idea.

Ideas of new apps in this ever evolving world of tech comes from our everyday lives. It seem fairly true that people are just getting very dependent on their gadgets, or their heads could have been too occupied up to the point of not being able to pay attention to certain chores that maybe insignificant but rather devastating if not being attended carefully. For example, locking up the car before leaving it, or even paying up utility bills monthly.

Due to all this forms of carelessness, new ideas have to be formed to BE that solution to the problem that is at hand. All that was presented at the event today by the contestants was not something new to them, rather familiar and closed to the heart of the creator (app creator). May I emphasized the "closed to the heart" phase.  This is because it is something that we face everyday that is a challenge. All this apps and ideas that were brought forth are ideas that could help the community live a better lifestyle without wasting too much time, or even getting certain things done right, or being protected in a very practical way in our everyday lives.

(Hint: those were the ones that winners for the Samsung Appstar 2012)

To wrap it up, I will start to look around for solutions that could be a lifestyle changing experience, and therefore I encourage that others should not take apps for granted, and ermmm.. contribute in anyway you can that you may play a role in the community in this modern era. I mean like seriously, there's so much that needed attention and a solution to it. Make A World A Better Place to be In.

Invitation to Samsung Mob!lers Bootcamp - Part 2

So as to continue~~

When MYC called me on Tuesday evening, I was actually in the middle of preparing for my mid term examination of a certain subject. I was actually excited about something else; I got my placement for internship at Shah Alam, which was really closed to home, a particular event that will have guaranteed a car for the next 3 months, not to mention a happy father due to the fact that his wish, and my indirect obedience to him actually came true.

So MYC calling me to inform me about this event actually brings up more excitement and anxiety within me. It was bothering me for a while since I did not know what event was this and what should I expect out of it, due to short term memory of that event that I participated so long ago. I couldn't give it much thought if I would go since I had to focus for that evening, ok I did badly as to conclude what happen during the test.

Due to indecisiveness, Ms Dennis gave me a day to make up my mind whether or not I would come for the event. That was really kind of her to do so. Some will have given it over to someone else. I must say it again this is a really precious and once in a lifetime opportunity for me to be involved in.

After a day of consideration (frankly speaking, did not even think about it, cause I barely knew what was the event about), Ms Dennis called me again to confirm my attendance for that day. I have to ask again and delay my confirmation to the next one hour. Since the decisions and finalization were supposed to be done on that day at 5 pm, I was only given that miserable one hour to decide the course of my life. I did have another event coming on that day, so I had to decide, not to mention bring another (few) friend on that day to the event will be another priority of mine.

Coincidentally, that one hour turned out to be one of my class hours. I was pretty much disturbed during class just thinking about who to call, and how to convince those who I planned to call. Finally decided that Dinesh should come with me, not because I decided he should but he was willing to accompany me there. I was glad that I call him along for the ride.

But seriously since MYC actually mentioned at least 2 friends, I was practically going nuts. All sorts of excuses came, tests, girlfriend, church, erm...and the list goes on. Some even mentioned "u want me to be a scapegoat is it?". That guy who said that, I think it's his lost for not coming, but then again not many will have wanted to be a writer, or anything gotta do with expressing themselves online.

So the day finally came, I did not expect anything, whether it would have been exciting or not (maybe I did but not something nice to have expect). Went down to fetch Dinesh and went for the event, good thing dad offered to fetch me there, although I did like to have drive there on my own. Reached there at 10 am. We were actually trying to decide where we needed to stop so that we could reach the event site. A map was offered together with the invitation (email) that came with it. Good thing I forwarded the email to Dinesh, or we might never have been able to reach our destination.

At the point of walking in and registering for our attendance,

Samsung Mob!lers Event Invitation- Part 1

To be honest, I am very unsure what to say or where to even start writing about the topic that I just put up on the title section of this post.

found this picture on Mob!lers gallery :)

Yeah, I could say that I did not expect anything from Samsung Mob!lers and definitely did not expect this group will even give it a thought of calling me to get myself involved in this event. Like seriously, I don't even know the figures of people that got themselves sign up for this event. How many participants? A few will have been an understatement.

As I was pondering about what happen about a month ago when I first sign up for the event, it has nothing got to do with dreaming about even being chosen, as it was never possible for me to believe that out of so many people in any one contest or competition that I participated in, will I ever be able to catch the judges' eye. But in this event, Samsung Mob!lers Deputy Editor, Dennis Yu must have seen something special in me. I still do not know what is that 'thing' that shines in me yet. but I am very sure everyone of us have something special that we could share with the world.

So far that I heard, there were 2000 applicants that got themselves involved in this event. It could have been half heartedly, or even one with much expectations. I was definitely one that fits both the description that I came up with. Both half hearted when it comes to signing up for new events and probably another thought of having a slight glimpse of expectation of probably being able to have an impactful experience for myself.

I got to know about this event thru many of my friends who got themselves signed up and gotten hold of free choki choki chocolate that were given away at that period of time. I didn't plan to participate but someone got a hold of me, and being my submissive self, I obliged to get myself participated. Probably something good could come out of this. I do not know. There were quite a number of interesting promotions regarding this event if we get ourselves signed up. One of it was actually going overseas which definitely caught my eye and attention. Like I said, I love being able to be exposed to new things in new areas, countries whatever you call it.

Got myself signed up without expecting them ever to call me for anything up till a few days ago, which I did say a month plus later...

Hanging out at the supplement store

I thought it was going to be really interesting just being here at the store hanging with my friend as he works. I could say that I got lots of input as he speaks to his customers, but it wasn't really that interesting just sitting here the whole day. My butt really hurts and I think leg seem to be cramping up.

Good thing computer was handy in spending my time watching "My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic". Right now it's about time for them to close shop, I m only waiting to actually go home, plus not to mention I wanna look at my pants soon, let's hope I get these things together soon.

Long time no blog liao..

Probably I either did not have the mood or the proper time to do it. This week is the first week of the sem. So practically, I do not have anything to do at all, besides going thru some movies and taking the time to bond with some friends here and there. It’s not that I really want to start classes really soon but I just guess sometimes being too idle for long is going to be very tiresome and it did.

That day I had my leg treatment, so sort of massage that puts the muscles back in place for my old injury. I have heard if it wasn’t done sooner, I would have to suffer it in my old age. Thank God for it to be discovered earlier, praise God for my mom. She’s the best at times. But due to the leg treatment, no form of sports can be conducted except swimming. And that also, I didn’t bring my trunk for swimming, and therefore I have nothing to do till 3 days are over. By today, everything is already over, praise God for the waiting session within 3 days. At least, now I can start going for gym. Been missing it since I went back for my semester break.

Been wondering why so many old friends from primary been adding me. Feel so reluctant to accept since I do not interact with them at all.

S3 is coming soon to Malaysia in few days. Let’s just hope that I could be able to have a hands on, and see how this awesome beast is really like for me. Been waiting so long, it just felt like my waiting organ seem numb due to waiting. No more excitement, only the sense of patience for me. Wonder if it will feel good to finally get hold of the phone.

Guess I will talk more in time to come, I am still seeking God for so many answers for my life. I wonder why am I looking so far when most people of my age are only concerned for their studies, games, entertainment, and what not that's just present.
