Clash of the Kingz (Kuching)

It's time for the sequel of King of the Ringz - Clash of the Kingz. Vanity Crew decided to join this competition to uphold and retain our title as Kuching champions like the year before. The competition had the same rules, it was ongoing for two days, out of the 7 crews who were competiting in the showcase category, only 5 will be qualified to get into the finals which is the day after. I won't go into the bboy category cause i find that this year it was freaking boring.The winner was confirmed even without watching the rest. It was THAT obvious. 

The competition was limited to only 5 people max. so we were the only ones who competed that day. We've probably been working on the two routines for a whole month straight every single night. It sucked the life out of all of us. I know i was like a zombie look alike for that whole month. I had like probably only 5 hours of sleep max each night.. plus i had to work everyday so that sucks too. I'm amazed that we learnt 3 new dances and stuff plus the audition dance in just a month. One thing i know, all our thighs expanded due to aggressive workouts -.- Jasz didn't participate since she had assignments overload so yeah~

First day of competition : Woke up super early and used a GPS to go to Teresa's house to do makeup and shizz. Times like these guys are lucky cause they don't need stage makeup or any makeup in general -.- Took some poloraids before leaving the house and Bev being too tall only has her duck mouth in LOL.

My selca that day :) and if you paid attention my blonde ends are now pink..again teehee. It's nicer than the blonde ends but it's so hard to maintain this particular colour. 

Picture stolen from Bev teehee ^_^v

Had our breakfast-slash-lunch. We didn't dare to eat a lot cause of the nerves and well, we didn't want to look fat on stage LOL.

The stage. The competition was held at Boulevard Shopping Mall.

These were the judges of the event. All three are from Project Elementz Crew, KL.

The crowd during the event.

Some snapshots during the audition round (day 1)

Everytime we camwhore we make it a MUST to take an ugly shot so here you go! :P

With TLD Crew from Miri. The other only girl group besides us. 

With Jasz and Candy. Candy especially came down from Kapit for two days just to support us in this competition. god knows how long i have not seen her already! :D

With Chillies Crew from Soul Dance.

We performed 4th that day and got into the finals. We did pretty well i guess, since the minute we came down from stage after our dance, we had people asking for our name card and stuff so i guess that's a good good thing! :D

We're back bitches. Reunited and happy! xx

 UM OKAY, abrupt end of first day LOL. Moving on...

Face on the second day(finals). Didn't have to wake up too early that day so yay to extra few minutes of sleep. Although i can bet all of us didn't sleep well that night. I mean, you should have seen my before and after make up face LOL ._.

Some shots during the 2nd day routine. The concept was a completely different one from whatever we've done before. Videos at the end of this post! This is why we do killer workouts so at least our fats don't spill out from our costumes lol.

OKAY I ADMIT I GOT BIG BUTT. but at least i got shape LOL.

and no.. we didn't win. We were actually very devastated and depressed. I mean.. we lost. But then we were annoyed that we lost to a group from KL. After thinking for a couple of days i guess it's like motivation to work even harder next time i guess? Congratulations to the champion though!

*Note: i edited and deleted some contents of this blog post because some people weren't comfortable with it. Apologize if I am offensive in any way, but all my deleted parts were honest thoughts of that time.

Sushi King. We needed good food in our system since we haven't eaten much and we were annoyed and depressed beyond words. At least good food is the best remedy. However, thank God we lost to a crew from KL and not from Kuching. oh btw, Thank you GABBY for being there for BOTH days to support us :P Trust me she was as annoyed as the lot of us.

Went out with the whole lot of Street Shock's dancers for a farewell dinner for Dexter and Marcus. They'll be leaving for KL to further their studies which means we won't be seeing them for quite some time D: I guess time passes really fast and people eventually move on with their lives.

Some poloraids with these two bboys. Wanted to go off for a second round that night but we debated on where to go and bickered till we were so tired and ended up deciding to go home straight after. Decision making that lasted for almost an hour ended in nothing pffttt -.-

Overall this sums up what i've been up to for the past two days. It has been super hectic as well as the preparation period for this competition. It ended up like it did but i'm glad we didn't have to face it alone. Soon, we won't give you any loop holes to deny us of our winnings! ;) So for now, enjoy the following videos of the audition and final rounds! xx Thanks for your support!!

12042013 - Rants

Ootd : ripped ribcage tank and Hermes inspired armswag from Lisa Closet, tokidoki iphone case and GD's inspired GET OUT cap from taobao.

Hellooooooo all my beautiful people. awkward beginning of a post but whatever. Went back to school about a month ago to collect my public exams aka SPM results. To say that i was stared at was an understatement.. i mean, all i did was change my hair and add some eyeliner to my lack-of-sleep-zombie-face and BAM, their eyes seem glued to me ._. fyi, i don't like to be stared at... it's creepy.. unless you're hot teehee :P Anyways, i don't miss school at all. Not even a teeny weeny bit lol. School was filled with anxious 95's students. Waited and waited and waited to finally get my result slip andddddd i was not satisfied at all. OKAY LAH maybe i didn't exactly work my butt off to it's full potential so that's my fault but seriously, i was expecting better :/ 

Many cheered, many cried, me? i remained montone lol. I mean, it's over, done, finished. It's not as if i could turn back time if i wanted to anyways. Those close to me would know what has been going on for the whole last months of that dreadful SPM period so i was more than happy for it to just be over lol.

Met up with le usual gang except this time, met up with Howard teehee.(he's like my brother from another mother fyi). It's been ages since we hung out so I am grateful. Plus, Dylan(his sidekick) came back from NS with his buzz cut too haha. Went for supper-slash-dinner and raided Nels' house to play ping pong. I think that summed up my night lol.

Apparently just recently i've received an acceptance letter from Segi college to start my Diploma in Mas Communication. Promised my mum to do exceedingly well cause well, i know i am better than that lahhh. Regret taking up science side in high school now ._. i mean, i hate maths. like, reallyy really hate maths. They invented calculators already, why do we have to bother? RIGHT? Guess i'll be stuck in Kuching for probably another 3 years unless, i get offered something better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sat for my driving test also within the same week and safe to say i passed. I think i did well tho hehe. My friend instead had a little trouble and needed to pay a little tea time money to make up for it. Tsk. I swear these officials are so corrupted. I passed my test and it was written in black and white and yet they still have the nerve to say i drove dangerously and hinted to receive a sum of money. Well too bad for you! Do i look like a pushover to you? Pfft. needless to say i stood my ground and didn't give a damn about that. Seriously -.-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy birthday to the loveliest friend Bibiana Teo Hua Ying. You've finally turned 18 and a young woman whom i adore. Thank you for always being by my side enduring my bitchy moments as well as my emotional breakdowns. You're the best! You always listen no matter what, and i love you for that :)

But still, happy to say you're old now teeeheee! xx I know you love me too :P

unedited picture with me looking as if i have a double chin with my girls. xx

Vanity Crew got another gig and this time it was from Astro. We were requested of two songs like the precious event ( XFAB Annual Dinner), so we used the same dances. For this, 5 of us got paid RM300 each! Easy money, so why not?! We all woke up super early that day to do pointless makeup since well, we each got a makeover by the makeup artists hired there. We recorded at RTM for Astro channel 180. The shooting site that day as shown above!

This is or changing room, make up room and toilet LOL. Loving the huge ass mirrors.

Usually i don't like people patting, scrubbing, and rubbing my face but then, i have to say she did a pretty good job with my zombie-like face ._. She took so long i think i almost fell asleep :/ 

TADA. End result of the makeover. Eye makeup was done by myself. I think make up artists are often stressed out with my super small, sepet eyes. Honestly, i think i still look like me, just with a higher nose bridge which you can't probably see in the picture as well so oh well ._.

But then again, a girl can always feel pretty right? teehee.

All of us after the makeover.

On stage. When we finished recording i finally realized the point of having thick-ass makeup pasted on my face since there was lotsa close up shots and also dramatic lightings. We wore this for the first hip hop routine. We received a ridiculous "do-not-wear" list so this is the best we can manage. -.- First off we weren't allowed to wear anything that was of blue denim which cancels out the baggy jeans, no sleeveless or cropped tops - Wild cropped top cancelled, and no round low neck tops... might as well dance in a baju kurung..

The other dance was super rushed since they wanted to go for lunch -.- We also danced with an empty tummy leh, Sigh, what happened to take your time in between dances and rehearsals? ._.

Finished shooting around 1pm? If you see us on tv please please please tell us! xx

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OKAY. recently i have been in this girl who takes time to read books mode and finished the whole series of books on Harry Potter. I read in on a E-Book through my phone so you can imagine the straining my eyes took but but, it was definitely worth it. TO TOP IT OFF, i saw this in tumblr and i couldn't resist sharing it. Halfway reading it, i went, "Fcuk it i'm gonna cry!" Okay, maybe i feel a lot of emotions but it's better than feeling nothing at all! D: and... if you don't find this touching you're a heartless bastard!

Have you ever liked someone to the point that it hurts you to even look at them? And all because of one reason that he or she is already taken or in love with someone else? You wake up every morning and look in the mirror and lower your own self-esteem even more and ask the same question over and over again. "what does she have that i don't?" I guess it's never that easy but up to one point you just give up. You've lost your drive and energy and those feeling start to change into hatred. hatred for making you feel this way. Hatred for making you feel so much. Hatred for making yourself think that you had a chance. There's a thin line between love and hate. I've heard that many times before. I always thought it was impossible to love someone you used to hate and hate someone you used to love. But then again, I've always been kinda naive. and "so what now?", you ask. Well my darling, you tell me. xx

XFAB Annual Dinner

It's been ages since my last update, so here's some juice bout what's been happening in the crew :)
Street Shock Dance Studio 's dancers got a gig at the XFAB Annual Dinner. Vanity Crew were asked to perform two dances - 1 hip hop and 1 K-Pop where as Shark Gangz did the opening as well as some ushering. Photo credits : The Shots :)

We performed at Pullman Hotel on the 15th of March 2013. We got a waiting room as you can see above teehee. the mirrors come in handy! Honestly i was feeling so tired that day since i came straight from my driving lesson (more on that on the next update). 

The place was friggin' huge. The wooden platform thingy on the floor were prepared specially for the bboys to do their thing. The crowd was rowdy tho. There were already drunk people at like, what, 9pm? i mean, seriously? -_-  our show really got delayed so we did mini photoshoots in the hotel's kitchen. The pictures turned out fine lehhhhhhhh :P

CAUTION.

We were separated by this partician thing so that the crowd or audience couldn't see us. oh btw it was freezing out there so we were literally hugging each other LOL. and in the process almost knocking down a few particians. Graceful are we now? tsk tsk :3

Manager of my crew and person-who-loves-bullying-ariel-cause-its-fun guy -_- 

He is wearing my studded camo top btw . Got it from Lisa Closet :) Happy shopping in advance!

Some shots from the performance.

While we were waiting the bboys had their mini photoshoot session as well.

Some shots of us and our get up for the Kpop number we were gonna do. Concept : I Got A Boy.

 Jumped so many times in order to get a nice shot without having hair and stuff slapping us in the face. the things we do for perfect pictures :/

welll.. finally? :)

some shots during the kpop number.

I think this is probabaly the first time in a very long time where every dancer from the studio is present and performing. It was a great feeling despite the awkward turtle moments of us not knowing each other too well to joke around ._. soon lah soooon teehee.

This shot was to test the lighting but i adore this shot for some reason. Thereforeeeeeee im posting it teehee ^_^v

weird faces pose is our signature pose all the time hehe.

i really really do adore these girls. i think without them, i won't know the existence of make up, self confidence and valuable friendships that don't waver tho we get shouted sometimes and annoyed cause of misunderstandings and mood swings and whatever other crap. we've really grown over the whole one year since Vanity Crew was formed and we've been through so much together. 

Thank you for being such a blessing <3 p="" xx="">

Picture with pro-photographer of the day :)

Finished the gig at bout midnight? decided to have a lil' after party and went to The Junk backstage bar to chill for a while. the atmosphere is really nice, so those who haven't gone, just be adventurous for a night and go! Loving this picture of me with Jasz and Teresa! <3 p="" xx="">

supper of the night consisted of nasi lemak from Lok Lok and liang cha - Just saying! :P

till my next update. xxx
