For the floor rockers.Before you got into the artform, you looked at footwork and you laughed at the bboys doing it. You thought it was all about messing up your legs around on the floor. You thought that bboying was all about power moves and dynamic stuff. You had this assumption that bboying wasn't really a dance but a sport.
Eventually you developed an interest in it.Starting out, you probably learnt with the intention to impress the chicks or to show off. After mastering your first freeze or move, you flaunt it whenever you get the chance to and feel that you're pro. You look at videos of yourself bboying and you get an orgasm cos it looks heavenly to you. You post it somewhere on the internet where bboys gather and the older bboys are laughing behind your back.
You initially think that headspin is the hardest move ever to master in bboying but you realise the basics can be much harder to master after venturing deeper into the artform. You watch videos from Bboyworld and you wonder how the hell those Koreans pull off such crazy shit and how the hell those Americans are able to rock the beat so well. You slow motion certain parts of certain videos by clicking the play button repeatedly on Windows Media Player. You do it at a jam and people who regconise what you did throw the infamous bite sign.
Cos of this experience, originality started to mean alot to you.You travel to your session area. You sweat. You injure yourself repeatedly and it hurts like fuck but you continue training. You buy drinks and share 'em with your mates. You practice till the sun sets. You exhuast yourself and the next morning when you wake up, your entire body is aching. It feels so fucked up.
Your crew mates start to mean alot more to you over time. More than friends, more than best friends. You feel this bond. The big day eventually comes. The jam that you and your crew have been training so hard for. Its your turn and you step up onto the dance floor. As the music starts you look around and realise that everything you've went through was for this fateful day. You start toprocking and hands start flying and flapping when you do something dope. When you found out you lost, you felt screwed up and started asking yourself "WTF was I doing?!"
During school lessons, you're thinking about some new transitions and sets in your mind. Your teacher is talking about Physics and you're in your own world, thinking about the new routine you want to try at the next session. You break so much that you neglect your studies. You fail your exams badly and your parents flame you hard.
At certain times you spend more time breaking than with your girlfriend. She feels neglected. Quarrels and arguments start to happen alot more often.
You get exploited countless times. You perform and don't get anything in return. But you do it cos you want exposure but you realise after awhile you dont get any. The event organisers are just using you as puppets. You start asking for pay and many organisers aren't willing to pay much. You get your first 50 bucks out of bboying and you feel really good about it. But then again you realise that after all the blood, sweat and tears you gave to bboying, 50 bucks is bullshit.
Sometimes you feel like quitting. Sometimes you feel like giving up.You see bboy competitions popping out every one or two months and the prizes are attractive. They are held in town and you get excited. The judging is fucked up and the judges are usually the staff of the company which organised the bboy comp and some other people who dont know shit about bboying. After a series of screwed up competitions, you decided not to join any of that bullshit no more and only participate in true bboy jams.
Life as a Bboy ain't easy but no matter what, you still carry on doing it because of the undying love you have for this artform...
BBOYING

Man. Left 11 more days till O levels! I can't believe time it. I really should have spent my time this year more wisely. But I can't do anything to change that now. Gotta pia like a madman over the next 10 days. I don't want to fail and waste 1 more year =/ Hmmm.. I don't think I'll be studying overnight anymore. It seems that I always waste the entire of the next day on sleeping. Can't afford to do that anymore.
Friends, don't call me out for pool, breaking or whatever.
Remind me to study :D

Yesterday we went to the airport to send my buddy Yang Yi off. He's currently experiencing alot of problems which affects his life greatly... Like not being to menstruate and stuff like that. So he's off to Sentosa to seek advice from the Merlion.
Pic of me and YY, rockin' it like we always do.
But the time has come for him to board his plane :'(
Bidding farewell before YY enters the departure hall.
JUST KIDDING! HAHAHA! I GOTCHA DIDN'T I! YOU WERE REALLY RETARDED TO BELIEVE THAT! OMFG. I OWN YOU!Okok that was fuckin' lame. The truth is yesterday I went to the airport with my buddies to study overnight. Yeap. I almost managed to finish my science but I still got 1 chapter left to go... ORGANIC CHEM! At first we studied at Burger King of Terminal 1 then we proceeded to the 24 hour food court thingy on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Around 2am+ we took a short break and me and Weitze decided to play pool. There was a pool table nearby and it costs 2 bucks per game. It's those insert-coin type of pool table. After we paid the cash, all the balls came out except for the WHITE BALL! Dayum. We had to use other stripes/solids as the white ball, which really sucked cos if your "white ball" goes into a pocket, you can't get it back cos it's actually a striped/solid. The game ended pretty fast and it was a total waste of money.
Man. We all look so studious and serious in this pic! Wahahaaa. Weitze brought his computer speakers along and it was really cool as we could enjoy music as a group instead of listening to our own MP3 players. Around 4.30am we moved to a playground located in one corner of the viewing mall. WeiTze, YY, Alton and Brandon went to sleep while me, Honghwee and Kenneth went to study a bit more.
MAN! MUGGING IS FUN xD

4 years in secondary school. Over these 4 years, I've been through so much... I've grown as a person and as a bboy... I've met some many people who've changed my life so much. Sad to say, it's all going to end soon. No more secondary school life in 1 more week. 4 years here in Northbrooks Secondary and it's gonna end in 1 week. It's kinda hard to believe. I'll be moving on in life... To somewhere new. Meet new people, experience new things and stuff like that, y'know? Looking back, secondary school life wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I really wanna thank all who have made my last 4 years a really good one.
Every single one of you who were once part of the Hwee Brothers Organisation(HBO) - THANK YOU.. Christopher, Hong Hwee, Wei Qun, Jia Jun, Jeffrey, Alton, Ganesh, Wei Sheng, Yang Yi, Guan Da, Ming Cheng and Kenneth. Although I don't really talk that much to some of you anymore but you guys made the early years of secondary school life so memorable and beautiful. I still remember getting into tons of trouble in Sec 1 and 2 for doing stupid things. Whenever my form teacher was pissed, it would always be me, Yang Yi and Wei Sheng's fault. I remember standing outside the class countless times and being sent to the principal's office once or twice. Hahaha.. Those were the days man.
Later on, I met the people who really motivated me to learn breaking. They brought out the passion for bboying in me. Jo, Ivan, Syafiq and Daryl. You 4 little turds... Lol. This may sound gay but I love all 4 of you. I will never forget all those times when we would stay back everyday after school just to break. You guys taught me my very first moves and all in breaking. Without you guys, I wouldn't have continued. I really love performing with you guys and would love to do so again if possible. Teacher's Day, Speech Day, Family Day, National Day... Whatever special day that the school was celebrating, we
rocked it! I wanna thank the 4 of you for all the memories and happy times. Never forget our special handshake yea?
After meeting Jo, Ivan, Syafiq and Daryl, I met the people who would eventually become my crew mates. All you peeps who are currently part and once part of Inertia, I'll never ever forget all the times we had together. Dome, Nic, Kok, Weeter, Chiro, Jia Qi, Mikki, Dax, Jocelyn, Siak, Marcus, Jordan, Dehui and last but not least Clarence. I still remember all the times when we would throw each other's heads into the walls and that made the public think we're retards and all. Lol. You peeps remember the time when we pretended to kick Marcus' arm in the MRT Station and when we did, he bulged his arm out and some people thought he broke his arm? Wahahaha that was classic.
The 6th floor has and always will have a special place in my heart cos thats where tons of things happened for Inertia. That's where we first sessioned with Jia, where I first breaked with Dome, Nic, Clarence, Kenneth, Jordan, Chiro and Dax. Remember all the times when we got chased away from Causeway Point 6th floor? We would whine and all but come back 10 minutes later and get chased again. We didn't care what others thought about us at Esplanade. We would make tons of noise and not practice... Hahah! Slowly, we all improved into what we are today. I'm really proud of every single one of you. To all who've left Inertia, I wish you guys the very best in life. To all who are and have always been reppin' hard for Inertia, THANK YOU and let's work hard for Floorskillz '06! I love y'all.
The Mooncakes. You guys are the people who I hang out with in and outside school. You guys are more than a clique to me... You guys are my brothers. Wei Tze, Yang Yi, Brandon, Alton, Hong Hwee, Christopher and last but not least, Wei Sheng. I miss all the times we mugged together at Yishun's Burger King and that one time which we didn't really mug... Changi Airport. Wahahaha. You guys have always brought me tons of laughter and joy. Sec 3 and Sec 4 life would have been so dull and boring without you peeps around. I love you all. All the best for your exams! Lets go for a huge DotA session after Os aight?
Dayum.There're so many more people I wanna thank.
Dickson, Hong Jie, Beng Kwang, Cher Kian, Zhang Yun, Patricia, Shaifuldin, Haniff, Sarah, Kenneth, Alexandra(Sally), Yan Cheng, Serene Sim, Serene Lim, Tracy, Christina and lastly Amirah. I'll never forget you peeps. Thank you for everything.
Love,
Tosh/Zhiyang or whatever you call me.
