First up, the obligatory THANK YOUs.

 

.

 

fredyyy

.

 

My learning curve was the greatest in your sessions. Sure I felt like crap after showcase trainings, and was panting like a doggie after Helena, but both were challenges and I loved every minute of it.

 

Well, no. Not really. Myself (and I’m sure a LOT of of others too) were THIS close to beating you up when you threw us choreography that looked like it was done on fast forward chipmunk mode. But it was some serious kick ass stuff, so thank you.

 

For my nearly swollen nose,

for adding “Don’t Stop The Music”,

for hogging the loudspeaker,

for making the auntie at Cheers think I am a Vitasoy addict,

for pep talks,

for radical choreographies

and

for your patience.

.

 You’re made for big things =)

 .

vicks

.

Victoria Lu Caixuan, it would’ve been a whole lot less interesting without you around. And one gossip partner less. Heh.

.

Thanks for the constant encouragements, even while things weren’t looking so peachy on your side either. I think you’ve grown so much as a person and even more as a dancer. Stay beautiful.

.

yew seng

.

To the boy with really steady shoulders (because they withstood my weight. heh.) , I think you’ll go really far. It was a pleasure being your partner. Don’t be so shy, do partner work must LOOK at the partner okay? =)

 .

 ore

 .

You’re another patient soul. I’m sorry I screwed up so much as a partner. Thanks for staying calm, and then making scandalous ah pek faces. But dude, you looked damn expensive lah on both days. Woot! Woot! Go Ore!

.

nexaa

.

Thanks for coming Nexa! And for the sunflower! Please come back, don’t let that talent go to waste. Miss ya.

 .

glen

.

Oh My God. We finally got the lifts right! Two days before showtime! Hahaha. Thanks for that Glen Ng. Hope I didn’t break any of your bones.

.

 dee

.

Dee you’ll always be our little miss sunshine. You’re a wonderful person. Thanks for the song, that is quite frankly, the sweetest thing someone could do. I love talking to you, and I miss you already.

yutaki

Eh I look a kinda shocked in this photo. Haha.

.

To my one and only Kaya Toast Boy, I’m glad you did this. It was real nice working together again. Makes me wonder if the next time will be in another 5 years. Heh.

.

Hope you’re having the time of your life in Japan now. But PLEASE don’t overwork yourself anymore. And come back with a nice girl =)

.

ying

.

Yes Ying, we will (attempt to) do popping and house. Someday.

.

Till then, lets just gawk at other nimble footed and groovy people doing it, then try to follow and laugh at ourselves in the mirror. Because yes, we looked THAT funny.

. 

 gong

.

Thanks for being the one person in NRA whom I can tell anything to. You’re fuckin’ amazing. And I haven’t even started on your dancing yet. You don’t dance like like a boy, my dear. You dance with enough energy and attitude to match them up.

Love you my babe =)

 

 

spicegirl

.

See! Everything really did go alright.  In fact, it went great! I’m so proud of you lah, spicegirl. The crying and worries and mad office drama with crazy colleagues were worth it. And I like this photo. Even though I don’t really know what we were trying to do.

 

 

min min

.

Thanks for the rose Min Min! Made in minutes with double sided tape, discarded cloth and a creative brain. Saved my ass.

 

 

 

peiyi

.

Besides Victoria Lu, you, Chen Peiyi, are my greatest source of entertainment during trainings. Who the hell makes tiko faces as part of a routine? Damn funny lah. Anyways, I’m glad we got to talking and I’m glad I found a (funny) friend in you.

 

 

lav & froo

.

Miss Kannathass and Mr Thia have been duly warned to be part of the next production. Or else . . .

I’m glad you came, i know you enjoyed yourselves, I hope you dance again.

.

 

 

ann

.

You truly lead by example. Thanks for opportunities, no matter how small. Thanks for the car rides home. For breakfast at your place. For watching us grow and growing WITH us. Thanks for the lessons, both in and out of the studio spaces.

.

I love and respect you so much Ann.

 

 

.

Okay now the dedications have been said, done and uploaded,

here’s more pictures!

.

You might get sick of my mugshot,

all over the place,

but hey its MY blog.

.

So,

err,

deal with it

=)

jazz medley

.

The multi talented Sonia.

Sings, dances and moonlights as an elf.

.

I want her stage charisma.

 .

 

von spears 

.

She channels Britney. The ever-likeable and sex siren on stage, Ms Von Spears.

. 

yvonne

.

And then there’s the other Yvonne, the all gentle ballerina version.

.

 

jaei

.

Jaei, with such talent and a lot of questionable advice on anything from stomach cramps to flatulence. No wonder she was a Nurse Doll.

.

You were brilliant in “If I Ain’t Got You”.

.

 

chao

.

I reckon we look like wax figures. No?

.

Anyway it cracks me up everytime I think of our secret added routine in Fredy’s showcase, with Vicks and Faz. Shhhh.

Liyana and I, moments before stripping Becca off and yanking her into really leceh HTILY costume.

ron

.

Ron has the stamina of a bull. And the sweat pores like a running tap.

.

But for someone who danced with such energy for 20 items . . . awesome!

Ken was trying to duplicate the rose on my neck.

collage 7

.

And the sweet gifts they brought with them. They were delicious. The chocolates I meant. Not the flowers. I’m greedy and all, but I have my limits. The flowers were beautiful =)

.

.

.

I miss all of you.

Like a lot a lot a lotttttttttt.

.

Because once upon a time I saw y’all so much I wanted to vomit.

.

Now it feels like withdrawals.

.

Till the trainings come . . .

That’s All Folks!
