Another BATTLEGROUND Experience! (Asian Battleground 2014)

  Hey guys, I thought that last Saturday night was really great, because I got to watch Astro Battleground Grand Finals LIVE, in the Megastar Arena, and the team we supported was 'Fearless' gained VICTORY and won the finals. If you want to know more and mainly about that night, look at last week's post. I thought that was the end of Battleground and it was a bummer for how much I wanted to watch Fearless and S-Striker again in Battleground for how much vibe both teams gave me and everyone. Until somewhere around this week, my mom told me there was still another show on last Friday night, and that made jump as a high as a bunny(Excited), to see Fearless and S-Striker once more, but this time, its Asian Battleground, which then contains crews from a variety of different countries. (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, Hong Kong, China, Philippines and here, Malaysia.) There was only 2 stages, First Stage was each teams performing their own unique style. There will be the Top 4 teams with the best styles then the final stage will be the Battle which will be always the final and most interesting one, which 2 different teams will be on stage to battle and take turns to dance for 30 seconds per team.
  There were some interesting teams that I thought were going to the Top 4, but some of my personally lower rated teams were at the Top 4. This was Asian Battleground, so we definitely wanted the Malaysian Teams to help prove ourselves worthy, so no matter Fearless or S-Striker, we wanted either to win. Sadly, Fearless didnt do so well in the first stage, which is their style. It didnt create a feel for the people who saw the show last Saturday night, because both Fearless and S-Striker did the same dance for both nights for the start, because last week's first stage was the same, named "The Style". Fearless lost their confidence and energy during Friday night's battleground, and they even made one big obvious stunt fail, which was really disappointing to see. So they were ranked 8 out of the 14 groups. (It was a sad night) But luckily our hearts rise up really high, when S-Striker made it to Top 4 (Ranked No.4) which we still had hope in Malaysia. They also went into the Final 2 teams against Korea's Just Jerk Crew which got a lot of screams and cheers(consist 5 good looking Korean Boys, what do you think?). I was sure with my family and my friend that S-Stiker won the battle with more creativity and variety of dance moves, while Just Jerk did the same style and followed the beat well, but it soon became boring to watch. But the Just Jerk won the Asian Battleground, which me and my friend just poker faced each other, and it was a sadder night after that. After seeing Fearless going so down hill, we really thought faith would come by. By its still a decision by the judges, which we cannot change, even if we thought S-Striker would win in our hearts. 
  That is a basic summary of the night, and I hope for to put out more posts in the holidays, because the holidays are coming to end next week so I need to create events myself to cherish the free time i have, anyways have a great week everyone!

A FEARLESS FINALE! (Watched Astro Battleground Finals LIVE!)

     Hey guys, and I just watched Astro Battleground Finals LIVE last night, with my mom, my maid and my friend that I invited because we got an extra ticket, and my friend "Loh Jie" is a great Battleground fan, and he is a good dancer himself.(Especially breakdancing). My maid was also a fill up for the ticket because originally the 4 tickets was for my whole family but my sister and my dad got to attend their own individual events. This was the first experience for me to going to a live TV show, and its even Astro Battleground which is so cool to see it in front of your eyes, rather than a screen. The two final teams were Fearless vs 
S-STRIKER. The team we were supporting was 'Fearless', because that is the reason we got the tickets, my mom's close friend, Auntie Brenda gave us the free tickets to support her son, Darren which was in 'Fearless'. The Grand Finale for Astro Battleground was held in Megastar Arena, which looked very sick(another word for cool) inside, but not so on the outside. 

  When we got to the entrance of the Megastar Arena, which everybody needed to wait there, a whole bunch of people were wearing Red Tees for FEARLESS, and Blue Tees for S-STRIKER. If you get there early, you can get a free T-Shirt from one team before it runs out of stock. And fortunately we got them! 

Group of people supplying the red, hot and FEARLESS tees.

Unfortunately, I couldnt find any S-STRIKER tees for you guys to see, but never mind lets carry on. We thought we would get early and get good 'seats', but only the VIPs can sit on chairs, while the non VIPs had to stand and watch, which I thought was worth it. There are seven stages for the 2 teams need to go through, and winning a stage gives that team a point, so the team which reaches 4 points first would win and get RM50,000 for the whole team. Then after the 7 stages, there will be a One on One battle among the winning team, to see who the best among themselves and win RM20,000 for the individual.

  I wont go into detail about the whole night, but I will say that the crew we supported, FEARLESS WON!! Which was really intense and exciting to see the results, it was at 3-3 before the last stage, and from that point we were yelling our lungs out(I honestly didnt really shout, but I did in my heart) for our own supporting crew.But I have to save the last stage, which was a battle, which both crews will be on stage and dance against each other, rather than the last 6 stages, which is their own choreographed dances and is Fearless going on stage, then S-Striker after. My hip hop teacher, Teacher Dylan was an ex-Astro Battleground contestant, and he was 5th runner up with his crew. But there is a stage where its called "The Return", where past astro battleground contestants can help one group to improve performance and creates more vibe and energy. Tr Dylan choose to help S-Striker which was a bummer, because its difficult not to support your Hip Hop teacher. It was a mental roller coaster ride for everyone, and I had a great night with my friend Loh Jie, which was great full to have the free tickets, and he said he watched this season since Episode 1. 

  I wish that I could have more great events like this over the holidays, and there is still 2 more weeks, till school breaks out again, which is still long as heck. Anyways, have good a week and Happy School Holidays!

Let the Holidays Break Out!

  Hey guys, and school has temporarily ended due to 2.5 weeks of school holidays, which is one of the longest holidays in a year (Only for the school that is). Its going to be a long way until we can get back to school again, which I agree to "Ace-Edventure"-Lovers, that school(Maybe just Sirius Scholar?) can be much more fun than the holidays(if you are not going out and have no events with your friends or family). I also realized that I stopped my Weekly Creative Writing since the first one, which was unfortunate, and I think I just didnt have the mood for brainpower in the weekends. But since there is a whole fortnight of holidays, I guess I will continue my series that I was excited at first, but didnt really turned out well. I will start sometime this week, and I will be posting more frequently during this fortnight, because it seems to be "Infinite Weekend"(Not really infinite, just saying it to make the holiday very long)
  Having free time can be great, but too much free time makes you run out of things to do, so until the end of the 1st week I think I will be begging to go back to school. There is a leadership camp that only the Form 4s can join, and its your choice to go or not. The price for the camp is quite high, but the activities we do there is not satisfying for me and therefore I choose not to go. Even if it was once in a lifetime, I think i can go to other camps with better experiences. Not only that, most of my friends didnt go too, if majority of just like a group of my friends were going, of course I will give it a go, but only one guy in my class went, and is my friend, Jing Shen because some of our ex-classmates are going(Our? We both came from 1 Amber so some people from the Amber Class was going which were also my friends, but I still decided not to go because it us didnt pump me up, and for a trip that cost 1k, it needs to create more hype and excitement for me.
  I can use this holiday to finish up my Add Maths work which I still have a ton, due to how hard and long you take to figure out the question and people who do Add Maths and are new to it knows what Im talking about. So I will use sometime of the holidays to solve as much left out questions as I can, but f I really struggle and cant do it, I guess I have to wait until school breaks out again, for my teacher's guidance. And add maths has always been the only homework that takes me a long while to finish and the subject with the most stress put in it.
  I think that is all that I have to mention about the past events and the holidays, expect more posts and I think i will put posts about some interesting discussions and confusion on some subjects, and less about my life and experiences.(Its like an empty plastic bag right now, full of air) Anyways, have good week and for the students in Malaysia, Happy Holidays!

Into Godzilla Night! (First Outing with 4 Garnet Friends and etc.)

  Hey guys, and I had a blast with my friends last night, we watched the great Godzilla in Subang Parade which a group of us was planning and talking about it all week. The movie was great! But lets get into detail about "Godzilla Night".
  So we started off meeting in McDonalds during 6pm+ and when all of us arrived, we moved to Carls Jr eat dinner. But I didnt ask why wouldnt all of us just meet at Carls Jr and just eat there straight? That sounds pretty logical, but what's done is done. We ate in Carls Jr pretty casually, but a highlight was my Indian friend, Prassanth, accidentally ordered a cheeseburger with beef in it. Which was pretty funny, and I decided to be a kind soul and took his chosen burger, for him to make a new order. It wasnt a huge sacrifice because Im not choosey on my meals and the burger was still good. :) I had to say a couple of my friends(covering up their names for this) were pretty loud in Carls Jr, they laugh pretty loud and didnt really care about the other families and people eating around them, and wasnt scared to have a bad reputation. I feel very embarrassed for sitting with them, for some of the people gave unpleasant stares, just didnt felt good. They didnt know its not in school or their houses, but a public restaurant. So before my reputation gets tomato sauce on it, I quickly finished my meal, and accompany my friend Yow Hue for his mini shopping needs. We meet my other friend Jing Shen who was also buying something, so we stroll around Parkson until it was around 8:50pm and that is when we went back up to the Cinemas to meet and finally watch Godzilla!!!
  The movie was great but not one of the best, because it was really intense and seat-grabbing, some parts were predictable and some parts were at the wow factor. But the cherry on top will have to be Godzilla's humongous roar. So I still recommend to check this movie out. There was also a Godzilla special for the Popcorn, it wasnt just the cover of the popcorn box, it was called "Emergency Popcorn Kit" and it was HUGE. It was coloured in Yellow and Black, to symbolize the hazard sign and colour. The entire popcorn box was about 3 times the size of the normal popcorn, but I think you guys know how big it is. We would be anxiously and continously munching on popcorn for watching Godzilla, so it was worth it.

Have a great week people! :3
  

~~Craziest and Muddiest Events Day Yet!!~~ {YOLO MODE ACTIVATED(No cliche intended)}

  Hey guys, and Im back from 2 weeks with lots of interesting content to share. I did Events Day or Theme Day announcements for the past couple of years, but I didnt this year due to my loss of memory to do so, and I didnt really have anything to post at that time. If you guys didnt know already, Events Day is an annual event in my school which every class can make their own game and play other games by other classes. There are 2 sessions, Session 1 classes get to set up their game and watch and guide the Session 2 classes to play. The 2nd session is the same as the 1st one, but just the Session 1 classes get to play this time. Not only the students get to have fun, the teachers get to create and play games too! But the teachers are altogether a group, so there is only 1 game from them, and 1 group of teachers. Im not sure if they get to collect points and win prizes, since they are the ones who organised the events and prizes. 
  Oh yes, there are points, I forgot to mention. There only 3 types of point cards you can collect; 1, 3 and 5.
How do you get the points, that is the decision of the game makers which is discussed in your class. Lets always start with my classes game. Our game is Form the Answer, and how do you play it?
1. We give the class a question
2. They cant tell us the answer, but form the letters of the answer on the ground with only their bodies(They must lie on the ground :3 )
3. All members(Or huge majority) from the class must participate in order to get 5 points
4. You get 3 points if you form the answer, but not the whole class or low majority of people.
5. You get 1 point for people who at least tried but didnt get the answer correctly, or for a huge amount of people who doesnt want to try and participate
We improvised the rules during that day, because I original rules were just down right cruel and we have too much time wasted. They originally had to get blindfolded, and have one instructor who cant get in contact with all the class members but only tell them what to do. They get the points based on how fast the form the word out, which we thought it would be near to impossible to give anyone 5 points (Origin time for 5 points: 1.5 mins)because of how hard and long it took to form the entire answer. Plus our area for the field was the muddiest, because of how much water we poured and it was muddy when we got there, we just made it a whole muddy wasteland. So imagine, you forming a word with your entire body together with your clothes, hair and face covered with stinky weird coloured mud. We were covered in mud too, so we made sure to feel their pain too, when they were turning into mud people. 
  Some classes were very eager to get the points and were very cooperative and risk taking, and tried their best to form the word as quick as possible, and seeing people being so united and full of teamwork, makes you happy. Some classes will be the very negative and would not take the leap of faith, when one guy said what if someone has skin problems, then 8 more people will have skin problems and sit out of the game, those classes will have like 6 to 8 people actually playing game, while the others watch with their swollen and disgusted faces. To be honest, I might be in those pile of anti risk takers, the risk of getting smelly and just plain muddy, and I might sit it out. But at the occasion of this event happening only once a year, you really need to push your YOLO(You Only Live Once) MODE out to the max, and enjoy and live our childhood more memorably. But seeing people succeed in our game with teamwork and getting 5 points makes us happier than seeing the people who suffer in agony accompanied with total disgust, and walking out with a few people muddy, getting only 1 point. We also got a lot of hate for our class being the muddiest and us being bad mannered throwing mud and brownish water onto their entire body, some people felt like throwing up and remembered our class with hate, some people walked of their relieved with joy and was glad to experience mud all over their body.But we got mostly hate, even my ex-2 Amber friends hated on me for giving such a cruel game(Their classes were the least cooperative ones, its actually really muddy so I wouldnt blame them) I still had a great time playing other people's games and getting to spectate how people did in ours. 

Events Day 2014 (You will hardly be forgotten)

Have a wonderful week guys, Im looking forward for the next events day for next year!

Failure = Motivation

  Hey guys, and Im back to share a great discovery I found out this week. So since the last post, I having been more positive and didnt get my blood to boil(Means anger) too much. Because of that post, I always think first before I go on tilt, Is it worth it to waste my energy being angry at something that would not matter after the next day?, or should i just keep calm and move on? 

  When you cant get what you want, you will work harder next time to get it, the reason I said this was because my English test paper came out, and I got 64% which was a bummer, I was hoping for 70+ or maybe an A. So this made me take down notes for often, trying to improve my essays bit by bit, and just more eager to increase my writing skills. I cant stay at one spot and be successful, I need to continuously climb up the ladder and try to be the very best I can. I thought that my writing skills were really good among the other(Yes, Im a little braggy when it comes to English), but I didnt change my writing style from Form 2. I didnt try to improve the essay structure, I just wanted more creative content and great words to use every essay I do. I need to think to myself, that Im in Form 4, my level needs to be higher and better. Im very sorry about the Weekly Creative Writing my sister is way too busy, so I delayed some, but I think I should just do it myself and move one, so I could further improve my English.

  Another thing to mention from this subject, is my Hip Hop. I dont know if you guys remember from what I said about my Hip Hop class last week, that I couldnt do a Turtle Freeze which was the first of the 3 freezes to make a Windmill, which is the first power move we are going to learn.(Basically using your legs to create an entire spin like a windmill, which is normal in the Hip Hop industry. I thought I could finally do the Turtle Freeze this week, and move on to the chair freeze. But I was still stuck, until the end of the class. More people were moving into the Windmill level, while me and still fewer people stuck at the first level, I still felt sad and let down, Tr. Dylan saw me still at that level and he said that I dont have enough arm strength to left my entire lower body up. So this motivated me to do a 100 push ups every day(I know its a bit crazy, I might lower down the number to like 50) so I can finally do the Turtle Freeze and others, and just being strong in general, for Im quite weak in my class and Im turning 15, so I need to do some form of working out.

  So this lead to my conclusion, When you fail at something or you can get your satisfaction, you will try harder next time and hopefully you will succeed. Better than being an angry bear, roaring furiously for not having its meal, it should hunt it down its prey more tactically next time, with better plans. This is for everything you do in life, and I hope everyone would get this message, so everyone would feel fine to fail, and just try harder next time. I hope you guys agree with me, and have a wonderful week! Weekly Creative Writing will be back next week!

Going On Tilt: A Mind-Boggling Subject

  Hey guys, and this week has been a tough and uneasy week for me, finally something special to talk about on my channel, but definitely not a good thing in my life. There is a term in the game Poker called, "On Tilt" which means a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy, usually resulting in the player becoming over-aggressive. This process can not only exist in Poker, but in everything we do, like sports, piano, video games and even my studies. 
  Im being going through tilt for almost the entire week, it all started with one tilt, ADD MATHS. Probably the only subject which I struggle to understand and follow up, or even have trouble with. The rest of the subjects I can catch up and digest after a few days, even if I have confusion or difficulty on a topic. Add Maths push me to my limits, when I was still behind on homework, due to lack of understandings, majority of the class moved on to a new topic. I now I have all the time at home to do my homework, but neither does my sister know or remember about the topic, so I had no choice but to wait until I get to school to ask teacher, but I could only ask question from the past topic during tutorial, which is only once a week. But since they have started a new topic, Im even more behind. This made me mad and confused on whether to continue with the others, or focus on recovering and trying to catch up from behind. So it was pretty emotional for me, when I was struggling back there, while the others had fun, laughed, and had a jolly good time, while I didnt. But I just need to tell myself, Im not the only one who is left behind, and I can always recover next time. So that was the first tilt.
  Secondly, during Hip Hop, we had our first official training for 2 dance styles, Break-dancing or Whacking.
Break-dancing is more for the boys, power moves and stunts; Whacking is for any gender really, but more feminine, its more on speed and quick limbs and flexibility, or something like that. So since Break-Dancing is more stunts and dangerous, all the girls didnt dare to take it, for they dont want to look rough and weird. I took break-dancing because I thought it was cool and I would go for the guy thing more, and see if I could actually do those extreme power moves. The first thing we had to learn, was over first power move- Windmill. It was a combination of 3 other moves: Turtle Freeze, Chair Freeze, and Shoulder Freeze. Its from stage to stage, first you do Turtle, then Chair, then Shoulder, and finally the Windmill. Many actually got to the last level and tried to do the Windmill, but some was stuck at Shoulder freeze. Very few people were still stuck at Turtle Freeze, pretty embarrassing right? I was in that group. The same thing with Add Maths, I thought if i got the hang of it, I could eventually master it, and move on, but since I keep failing and see people climb up faster than me, I began to start another tilt, leading me into rage and frustration. And I was stuck in Turtle freeze until the end of the class. I felt like crap after that, but I had a very fun egg fall test in Physics, and that cheered me up.
 Other things like tennis and piano also gave me mini tilts, which was very unfortunate and unwanted process that I knew I needed to avoid, but just psychological happens to me. After re-thinking and typing my experience of my tilts on this post, it made me more relaxed. I wish Im not going to go through this process this week, and I could be a more positive and relaxed teenager after this post, this is not only about me, this is for anyone going on tilt. As always, have a great week!
