Just got back from Sungei Wang for a dance competition. It was the 3rd annual THop Dance Master. This time around, the few noteable crews weren't competing ie. Fundamental, Evo-I and Twister. The reason is that past champions or runners up are not allowed to compete.

But the biggest twist this time around is that these winners can participate but to a different name. Of course this bunch of group wouldn't want to trade thier household names just for the sake of winning the prize money of 2k. Or was it not?

Apparently last years winner, DT4 came back to compete but to a different name. So they started as favorites.

The 14 finalists were chosen from two qualifying rounds, and from my perspective these finalists could have been splitted again in two. The best bunch, and the losers. The best bunch are those who showed potential, or at least had an entertaining routine to perform. While those losers, were those who perasan that they could be as good as Rain in the video clip and Beyonce. Oh please.
So the result was out, my girl friends from Rogue came out champion. Second was crowd favorite Explicit and third was defending champ with the different name, Don't Touch Flame. Irony.
Rogue was 2nd runners up at last years National Hip Hop Challenge and a Top 5 Finalist at the Dance Supremacy. A new hip hop group that battles on tunes mostly from Beyonce, Destiny's Child and BEP. Anyway, Rogue consists of 4 girls from Sunway College but today has expanded thier wings to I think if not mistake 8 girls. The former leader was Sri KL's cheerleading captain Aina but since she left to UK last year, Rogue is now headed by Fara.
Hotshots for this years' National Hip Hop Challenge (open category!)
1. Fundamental (defending champ)
2. Twister (Martel Dance champ)
3. EVO-i (Dance Supremacy champ)
4. Rogue (Thop Dance Master champ)
5. Inferno (Malay Mail! Dance champ)

I met Harry last Sunday afternoon for a coffee.
I did not see him for almost two months since the Hari Raya celebration. He went back to him hometown in Brunei and when he got back, I was already involved with the musical. At the same time work was hectic for him.
I'm just happy that we still remain friends until today, despite with no strings attached or whatsoever you call it. Remember the many times I stayed over at his place, and the many nights we ended up just cuddling and hugging. No sex involved. No kissing.
You can't assume that I'm not his type first of all that leads him to not do anything on me. I demanded to know why he didn't want to have anything with me, and he said he preffered to have a slow start and whatever leads to the next one only time will decide.
I'm okay with it since I only needed a company to be with during that time.
But now, as I was seeing him at the kopitiam the other day the mutual feeling has increased by bit. He was still the usual Harry, and I was trying to look cool myself. So funny. Anyway, we talked about many things. With the 2 months lapse, we were chatting as though it was 2 years. Sincerely, talking to him made me felt easy.
I can't go back to stayover with him now, or maybe until he moves out. Because he has 2 cousins staying with him now, and he being a silly closeted gay man has close doors for me to be able to hug him again. Not for long.
He was thinking of moving out soon, and I kinda persisted him too. Not because I was being the devil, but looking things on a bigger picture he needed to move out from that dirt of Ampang where all the memories he has with his sucky ex lover. Everytime that is what I get from him, the nagging on his ex lover who still stalks him only until last week when Harry gave him a warning!
I hope Harry turns out to be better this year, although I know for sure now I can only be a nice friend to comfort his feelings and not a companion. Judas is ok.

I realised that my 4th semester is really moving on pretty fast. Eventhough the final seems to be like 2 months away, with the many on going activities on college this coming few weeks would just make it come as early.
I was voted President yesterday for the Communication Society. Boo hoo, what's not new. Everyone knew I was gunning for that seat, so nobody was so keen to challenge me. Sorry if I'm too popular on campus, thanks to the 5 minutes appearance on One in A Million and also my little starring role in Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical.
I wanted to lead a society in this semester because, looking at what happened the last year I know there can be many things be done to make campus like more happening. In my winning speech, I assured that Communication Society will live to its billing as a cool and happening society and making sure that our campus too lives to it! No one applaud. I wish I was back at Taylor's, and the respond could have been wilder!
So what plans do I have in mind. Besides having the usual competitions for public speaking, debating etc I have also opinionated to have a workshop on building communication with media. I plan is to invite creative people from the industry, maybe like Astro or TV3 to conduct some workshop or perhaps a talk to the students here.
One major major idea is also to organise this mega event in August, where it coincides with the National 50th Independance Day. What I have in mind is to have events every week, building up to the last week when the main event takes place to celebrate on the 31st. This would include theatre plays, dance and band competitions, seminars and conferences on media and communication and of course a concert.
This is after all a plan.
I need to work on with my committee now on the proposal and budget, and hopefully our stingy Management will visualise this as a tool to market our halpless University College.

I was going through my diary for 2007, and realised that if things go well with a few projects I'm heading myself to many places this year.

Bangkok, Thailand in February. Confirmed.

Bandung, Indonesia in March. Confirmed.

Tokyo, Japan in April. Not confirmed.

Nottingham, UK in July. Not confirmed.

Singapore in December. Confirmed.

All the trips are related to my cheerleading work, which is either to conduct a clinic, or to be a observer at a championships or participate in one.

Since I'm already in this category, might as well I brief on what will be going in store for my cheerleading career for the year. The National high school championship is slotted to be in July again this year at Bukit Jalil, and I'm currently attached with SMK Seri Bintang Selatan which won Best Newcomer last year under my guidance. This time around, we're a bit selfish with our target and aiming for the number one spot. Please don't get too surprised when you see me with my girls holding up the trophy on the front page of The Star! That's a ramalan.
Elsewhere, I'm also planning for one cheerleading coaching certification which will be held somewhere in April this year. Will be flying down this American lady from the National Cheerleading Spirit School Association (NCSSA) to conduct this certification. I badly need this to justify our standards for the Malaysian coaches. But prior to this, myself and my team mates from Extreme Malaysia Allstars (EMAS) will put up a small scale cheerleading workshop for beginners. This is part of our fund raising to fly the NCSSA staff here to Kuala Lumpur.
And to make that up, the 2nd annual Cheer Emas competition is also proposed to be set in April. This competition is the one show in nation that allows cheerleaders from all ages (not just high school, and not just girls) to compete. We are expecting teams from Indonesia and Singapore this year around.
So you see, how my time is so involve with cheer. It might sound a bit sick, but I just love doing this.

Nik is leaving to UK on the 19th of this month. This sudden depart is to further his studies. I am not too sure what field he is majoring but certainly it is nothing to do with communication like I do.
But anyway, things between Nik and I obvioucly has come to an end. I mean initially in the first place I didn't consider to have him as someone I would prolong a companionship, easily because he wasn't really the type of my Mr. Right.
Although he showed true promises of a truthbul boyfriend, I couldn't buy them because first of all he was a little bit childish despite we share the same age. I prefer to have a companion no matter how old he is, but has a compatiblity maturity level as I do. If he's way matured too is a little bit boring. Having one dad is enough than having two, right.
Secondly, I assume his lifestyle and mine is on different highways. He drinks and smokes way beyond the limit I have put on a boyfriend. Despite his assurance of quiting smoking if he was to go out with me seriously tickles me, his drinking obsession is enough to put things on the shelves. I still remember how my late grandfather whom had bad habits with these sins which initially brought him six feet under at a young age!
Being a little bit emotional here in selecting the right guy to go out on a date!
Nik studied at Nilai International which is like 20 minutes to and for from my University College in Bangi. I think we have met a couple of times, with our friends altogether. I wouldn't say he was obssessed with me, but I think he enjoyed the company. That's what he says all the time. He stayed over at hostel twice or thrice, only to have me the last time. If you know what I mean. He did sucked me off but I couldn't do much eventhough I was in a urged of having him as my bottom. And that too had to be put on the shelve now since he is leaving in a couple of days.

All the best to Nik.

By the way, just to recall some little things. Nik's ex boyfriend was someone whom I met when they were together. It was just a one time fling. But I only knew about this when I know Nik in person. He was telling me about his ex and how he was being such an asshole and turn out to be the asshole was the one I had in bed. Well, whatever lah!

I think I need to share a bit of the confession part for the month of December. Well classes resumed right before I left to Singapore, in which I made my way to skip a week of class. My Dean was helpful indeed because he would be so proud to see his student excelling and at the same time doing well in class. And how did I fared for the last semester? Surprisingly my pointer went up a bit despite the 2 subjects I scored B's. CGPA is at 3.453 now and a little tiny bit more to the 3.5 point which I have been craving for 2 semesters now!
Anyways, this semester I'm taking another 7 subject which means I'm closing down to two semester before doing my practical and finally graduate with a degree. Terrific isn't it. After all these years. And you wouldn't wanna know what is in store after this.
I was away for nearly two weeks for Christmas, as it was due time to visit my elderly grandparents in Lawas, Sarawak. I did not went back for 2 Christmas, and the persistent nagging from grandma was enough to show how much everyone misses me back home. Hahah!
I really enjoyed the holidays, especially when it was during the durian season! My grandma has a big farm where her Bugis farmers takes bins of durians every morning for us to eat. It was like as though they knew that the favorite grandson was coming home, so feeding him with durians would make him wanna come back more.
The night I left to Kuala Lumpur from Kota Kinabalu, I was looking myself in the mirror at the airport. Gosh, I have put up so much weight! And I knew then what was the number one resolution for the new year!
