TDS 12th Solo Classical Ballet Competition

In beginning of this month, i went to the 12th Solo Classical Ballet Competition with Mandy. She was supposed to join but oh well, she missed the entry form submission dead line, oh well, there’s always next time, not to worry. Anyway, there isn’t really much to talk about, so here comes the pictures.

Anyway, for those people who doesn’t have the slightest idea what is “ballet” then, here’s a video for you all. I was told by Mandy that this random contestant which i decided to take a video of is the potential winner. So..

i guess that’s good? Well, Mandy said she had perfect lines. (Man, i’m a numb nut when it comes to performing arts but i’m starting to fall in love with shooting the performing arts, you get to get these sorts of very dynamic movements). Talking bout this, may our beloved King Of Pop, Micheal Jackson rest in peace.

Picture of the day, this pic also won me a prize at the 21st Pam Architecture Camp, Rumi. Oh btw, i’m now member of TDS, The Dance Society of Malaysia. Guys, you never know when this card will gonna come in handy when you are trying to get the attention of that hot girl down the road, so go get one already.

It Was A Great Day Until Fate Calls Up

The day started like just any other days. Woke up, went to college, went home and had lunch with dad. Then we went to check out some sport rims at a nearby shop where we ate and my dad asked me why don’t he buy me these sport rims as my birthday present? Damn, it wasn’t even my birthday yet. You just gotta love my dad don’t you.

So installation of the sport rims with the tyres took around 1 hour and then i also got to get a carwash. After that i returned home and got to rest abit before going out to fetch my mum from the LRT station, which i don’t do normally. Then it happened, on the way back after getting my mum.

Some nutso cocky arrogant speedster bastard driving his not his Waja slammed into the back of my Myvi, and my Myvi slammed kissed a Kancil in the front. My squeaky clean Myvi with my new shiny 15 inches sports rim. He drove so fast, he couldn’t stop in time when everybody else stopped. He slammed on his brakes making this squeeling sound, but he just couldn’t stop in time. IF my mum came 30 seconds earlier or 30 seconds slower, or if my car was one car behind or one car infront. This wouldn’t happen. But luckily, the kancil suffered minor injuries while i couldn’t see any injuries to the front of my car, only the back. Sigh.

“You can’t escape fate” was what i thought.

Oh, and.. you know what, this accident happened at the exact same place where my car was bang’d from behind by a trailer last time, just the opposite travelling direction. Now it gets scary.

Horse Sculpture – Part 2

Last friday was the prize giving ceremony for the Selangor Turf Club Design & Illustrate Horse Sculpture at the Times Square Hotel Manhattan Ballroom. It was actually the annual dinner for the equestrian club members and we were there to be part of the show.

The scene when the people start arriving was almost like the scenes from the TVB drama, Gem Of Life, where all the men were dressed in coats and tuxs while the women are dressed in their evening dress, not to mention their expensive jeweleries.

After the arrival of Dr. Mahathir, our ex-prime minister…

… there were performances but too bad for us, the guests seatings which where we were positioned does not have good feng shui, so we couldn’t see much except for the face of the composer and alot of musicians’ asses.

After having our scrumptious meal, it was time for us to be part of the show. So they announced, one by one.. 6th place, The One Academy, 5th place Malaysian Art Institute, 4th Saito, 3rd Sunway College and finally us the 1st runner up, UCSI (although they announced USCI instead).

Here are the horses with their respective institutions’ name. (by popular demand)

The winners were from UTAR. Too bad we didn’t win but we still won the 2nd place, so i guess it is a good start for us. After that, there wasn’t anything else.. so we all went home and slept.

Wait, did i say we camwhored alot? (Damn, i wanted to camwhore with Dr. Mahathir too, but he left halfway through, sigh).

Sending Off The People

So i had four of my good friends leaving Malaysia to work and travel in US for the next 6 months. After finishing our work for the horse on the second day, Kin Yew, Joe and I after fetching Choon Wah and Fanson went to KLIA to send them off. 

The first of them is Wenyi, my so called twin sister since we look alike. The second’s Joey, then followed by Choon Wah and Matthew. Some of them, their families were there too.

That’s Joey’s family doing their final checking on stuffs. Since i won’t get to see this foursome for the next half of the year, we did camwhore “abit”.

After checking in and camwhoring, they went to McD for dinner.. like US don’t have McD like that. We the ones who went to send them off held on to our appetite as everything there was at least RM5 more than the normal price. Below was how they look like when they disappeared into the departure hall.

Later, the hungry zombies (Kin Yew, Joe & I) went for “spicy soup” in Kajang which.. wasn’t that great.

Horse Sculpture – Part 1

Just last week the Selangor Turf Club held an event where colleges were to design & illustrate a black coloured carbon fiber horse.. or a few horses, depending how many groups are there from any college. Well, UCSI only had one team, our team.

A total of a week was given to us to finish up the work on the horse. We went there blindly, we didn’t know the horse was of one to one scale, we didn’t know the horse was black and we certainly didn’t know what we was supposed to do. Dilemma. So we did a little brain storming and came up with some ideas while some other teams had already started drawing and even painting the horse.

See what i mean? Both of the above are of InHouse College on the FIRST day. So ultimately we concluded that, we would lose horribly if we were to paint our horse since we are not painters and aren’t taking up fine art. But we have two secret weapons in our group, which was Atousa and Zuliyana, both diploma holders of fine art. The team also consists of the not-so-fine-in-fine-art-people too which was.. Joe, Lawrence, Kah Sing Mugen, Jayz, Kin Yew and ultimately me.

Results from this conclusion was we used materiality to show off the speed and strength of the horse rather than just through painting. We used smashed pieces of glass, plaster of paris and zinc strips on a base layer of gold paint before painting some images on it.

The week on was abit hectic, changing plans were part of the routine and packed food for almost the whole 7 to 8 days.

You know, actually i have to admit.. it does look like a gate, doesn’t it? lol.. the prize money were very attractive, RM8000 for the champion, RM5000 for the first runner up and RM3000 for the second runner up. Do you wanna know the results? Stay tuned! I’m evil like that.
