Malaysian Night Fever

Woohoo! Imperial College's Malaysian Night will be in 4 days! FOUR! Pressured? LOL!
To be honest, I'm quite worried of several things. Some are fine though.

Short Review of the dances I'm in:

1. Opening Dance: I think Chloe, Yih Lin, Colin did a great job by polishing up the moves. It looked really messy and terrible initially, but now, I think it's quite good =)
2. Bhangra: Hmmm, not too bad as well. Only thing I'm worried about is: the stage's so crowded!!
3. Lion Dance: I always thought it was terrible. It's probably because I always have this weird feeling when I do the routine. But, nevertheless, it turns out to be quite good to the rest of the people, so yeah. Quite happy about it
4. Modern Dance: Whee! I love this dance. Its very funnn!!
   
5. Stomp: Not ready yet, in my opinion. We seem motionless! Ok, maybe not we but me!
6. Dikir Barat: Errr, no comments. It's the worst among the rest of the dances I'm in :S so many things to remember!! :(
7. Finale: Appeared to be the most gay-ish dance of all but it's improving :) at least, I don't think it's THAT gay anymore! Kudos to Wei Li!

So that's about it! Will probably upload the videos of my Malaysian Night once it's over!
We gonna ROCK on Sat! =P

First lion dance performance for CNY!

*Note: The content of this video may be rather obscene to certain people. If you think you'll be offended in anyway, please do not view it =) And, it's my FIRST performance! It has mistakes here and there (that is if you can point it out) but do forgive me okayy? Overall, our captain was impressed and we did pretty well!





Give me feedbacks about it :) And, hope you like it

Happy Birthday Cheng Chun!

Yesterday was the birthday of a dear friend(senior), Cheng Chun. Just incase you guys were pondering about who he is and how we became good friends, here it is. To Colin especially, you're the one who always brings up this question, "What's with you and Cheng Chun?" Believe it or not, we're BLOOD RELATED! Cheng Chun's my cousin! lol. Anyway, here is how the story goes:

Remember the period when I was DEAD bored and had nothing to do while awaiting for my A levels result? That was the time when I actually joined ICUMS(Imperial College Union Malaysian Society) forum and added every senior who displayed their MSNs. And, ah! There it goes. I think the FIRST person I chatted with was Colin; if I'm not mistaken. Then, Cheng Chun. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. I added both of them and had a good chat with them. Colin was rather quiet(I think he had something to do that time) but Cheng Chun, on the other hand, was remarkably talkative! Hence, I actually talked to him and asked him more about life in IC, London, etc. And, being the patient one, he actually entertained and answered every single doubt I had. However, the amount of questions I had were incredibly a lot! My parents were bombarding me with TONS of questions that I couldn't answer! As a consequent, Cheng Chun and I decided to meet up (can't remember who came up with that idea). So, he's actually the FIRST senior I knew :)

We planned to meet up at Mid Valley, since it's nearer to his place and I know how to drive there. And, my goodness! When I first knew him, he told me he was VERY PARTICULAR about punctuality. Being me - the one who's always late, honestly, I was afraid that I would be late and he would be pissed with me. To be honest, I almost banged a car on my way there(Don't worry Cheng Chun. It's not your fault. Don't feel sorry about it. I shall blame it on my clumsiness). For those who wished that to happen, sorry to disappoint you. =P I seriously tried not to be late, but in the end, I still went late. This time it's due to the jam. Really!! Not my fault :(

Anyway, it was my first experience in meeting up with a stranger i.e. someone I've not met before. Therefore, I decided to bring backup - Jade! hahahaha. jkjk =P
Since Jade told me he would be at Mid Valley too, I thought maybe I can meet up with him as well.

And, what actually triggers my curiosity is the statement made-up by Cheng Chun when he first met me: "You look EXACTLY like one of your senior, Colin! Look out for yourself during Freshers Camp and remember what I've said". And, honestly until today, I still don't seem to see the resemblance between Colin and I albeit many people acknowledging it.

Let's fast forward a couple of months to 26th November 2006: Cheng Chun's birthday. Honestly, I felt extremely bad for accepting the dinner treat from him and not buying him any presents. I seriously think I should but I don't know what he likes! :S arghh. Anyway, we(me, Cheng Chun and Kevin) had dinner at Mandarin Kitchen. Food was SCRUMPTIOUS! I love it a lot. Thanks Cheng Chun, once again. I think the meal was rather expensive: I would estimate around £60 to £70. Cheng Chun didn't wanna reveal the price. Worst of all, I was the one who ate the most! Now, I seriously feel very guilty :(

Birthday boy and I at Mandarin Kitchen.

Jee Wayn, Cheng Chun and I (at Deeparaya Dinner:an old event) I thought of putting it up since the picture I had with the birthday boy is rather vague.
And, FINALLY

My clone! The senior(Colin) who looked like me apparently

MNite Dance Rehearsal

Had my first dance rehearsal for Malaysian Night (which will be held somewhere around March next year) this afternoon. Most would probably think: "WHAT?! Malaysian Night is next year and you're practising it NOW itself? It's only November!" lol. We know we are a bunch of enthusiastic and fanatic people. And, not to forget, we are always proud of our own MNite. We claim that we produce one of the best shows compared to the others. That's what every Malaysian Society in different universities would say anyway. If I'm not mistaken, survey showed that we, indeed ARE the best!! *wide grin* That probably explains why we are really into it.

Until now, I still cannot believe that I actually went for the rehearsal. Not that the dances were bad. They were brilliant actually! (thanks to colin, chloe and yih lin). It's just ME who cannot acknowledge the fact that I actually volunteered to dance without being forced to! But, seriously, I have NO regrets at all for doing that. I enjoyed myself and I have to thank a lot of people for that, especially the seniors! I think they did a marvellous job by brainwashing us about MNite, and telling us about the astounding feeling they got after putting up the show. Thanks seniors! Now, I do agree with you all. Coming all the way to Imperial just to STUDY only, is rather futile!

Dikir Barat (1st part) video during MNite 2006

P.S. We had some slightly hip-hopish and robotic sort of dance this afternoon. Not dikir barat :)
