YAY!!!! WAHAHAHA.. Today was the FUNtastic Dance Competition Finals!!! 13 groups were chosen out of 30 groups and my group was among 'em. So yea, today I went to school taking my father's car and reached school at about 8.25am.. Was supposed to be in school at 9.00am to meet Jo but I reached earlier cos my dad had to leave home early.. Hahah.. Jo came at about 9.10am and we went to look for Ms Teresa.. She wasn't around and we needed to burn the CD for the competition so we asked Mr Lim to help.. Haha. He's damn sarcastic and cunning. He say we all owe him 1 favour each if he helps us burn.. We agreed reluctantly.. After that we went to the Music Room but turned out the band was having practice so we went to the AVA room to practice.. Then we found out Daryl could not come cos his grandmother passed away recently and today is her burial day. At first we were all pretty damn confused but in the end I asked Dax to take Daryl's place(last minute decision).. We only had like 1 hour and 45 minutes before we had to leave for the competition which was held at Woodlands Regional Library Auditorium.. There was alot of dance steps which Daryl was supposed to do but he wasn't around so we had to teach 'em to Dax. We figured there would not be enough time so we changed lotta parts..
After practicing Ms Teresa sent us to Auditorium by her car. We met Brandon(who came to support us) at the entrance of the library. When we were there we were damn nervous. We went backstage and left our stuff in the dressing room.. We were group number 6.. While we were waiting for our turn, we were damn scared that we would screw up.. Without Daryl around our dance was kinda screwed.. We were like "Okay die.. Confirm wont get any prize or position.."
When it was our turn, we got our asses onto the stage and started doing our dance routines and stuff. We managed to pull through the entire thing and the crowd's response was quite good :D.. We went to sit with the audience after that.. There was two groups which had peeps who were able to do lotta power moves .. One of them of ROC Styler Crew.. Their power moves were good but their footwork and style wasn't that impressive. We cheered loudly for lotta groups.. haha! Peeps who sat around us looked at us when we started cheering and shouting "DOPE DOPE DOPE!!!!".. Lol.. Haha.. Dope means impressive or good.. Thats roughly what it means..
Okay so after every group was done.. Sembawang Sec did a small skit. After that, it was time for the prize presentation.. All of us were like "Okay man.. we at most only get consolation prize.. Hai.." They started giving away the consolation prize to 10 out of 13 groups.. The last 3 groups were the top 3. They gave it all away and we didn't get any consolation prize. I was like "WTF!? WE'RE IN THE TOP 3?! KNN!!" LOL..!! Then they announced the 3rd place(which wasn't us) and the crowd went wild. Then they announced "The 2nd runner up is.......*drum rolls* B-BOYZ!!!!!!!!!!" At that very moment I felt that all the hours of practice, sweat and effort that we put in was worth it.. Totally!
We went on stage to get our prizes and we kept telling each other that we can't believe it. They gave us a trophy, a few prizes and a $250 cheque! Ms Teresa said she would divide the cash prize among us.. Me, Jo and Ivan would each get 50 bucks while Daryl and Dax would get 25 bucks each..
Yay man!! I'm freaking happy. Anyway, sorry for writing such a long entry.. Haha!
I guess that's all i gotta say for now, aight!

Peace ~ muahas.
