I'm the publicity head of Blast as of this year.
But this head of mine was about to explode when ticket sales were so bad.
Gosh how were we ever going to sell so many tickets! AND worry about the show at the same time! To make matters worse, we were all geared up and involved in Dancetitude (organised by our sister group NTU MJ) so we had SO few rehearsals back then. The Peranakan theme didn't play to our advantage either..

But yes, you guessed it! If you didn't manage to catch the show, I dare say it was your loss!
hehe just kiddin' =P
Hope to upload to youtube as testimony that we did it! We pulled it off!
Ticket sales picked up and the crowd was great =)

Minutes before the show everyone backstage were all raring to go. As Pat sauntered in and gave his usual (yet forever inspiring) speech,
we shared a universal prayer together. Amidst the solemn congregation of bowed heads, our hearts were ignited with our passion for dance and passion for the stage. As one entity, we hit the dancefloor and stormed the stage.

We didn't just bring it; we nailed it.
Kudos to the dancers I'dil, Joo Teng, Erwin, Weilong, Frederick, Elson, Chris, Lina, Esther, Nicole, Hazel, Tracy, Huixuan, Sham, Sharon, Dawn, Peggy, Chun, Rebecca, and Celine, for their past few months of undying effort and hard work.


Dance on!
Look out for Blast anniversary that's coming up!!!
20th Oct 07 (Saturday) from 7pm to 10pm!
It's gonna be a Blast! I just know it!

Hmm. Havent seen you guys in a while since the last class/anniversary celebrations.. Welll.. hope you guys are doing good.. mugging away for the exams. Always remember, dance is a good way to relieve stress so you know what to do when those frustration and angst is getting the better of you.. just turn on the music.. groove and dance it. haa. Oh wells. Havent been blogging in a while, now that we're back, here's a short digest of what's happened since our dance reflections..


Dance reflections 2006, Shut Up & DANCE! (8,9,10Sep)

and it says shut...

up..

and..

dance!

2006. =)

So after the the electrifying concert we had our well-deserved Post Concert Celebrations at Chevrons.. it spells good food.. great company.. and the long-awaited concert video. of course we had a good time laughing our arses off over the emcees.. the dancers.. and spotting the 'odd ones out'. i.e. who made mistakes etc..not being sadistic here.. ha. Kudos to those who came dressed as the ultimate mismatch!! Esp to people like Kelvin, the kampung boyz.. the geeky club, the 'gaoyaos'.. the kinkys and whatnots. What a sight to behold!

Post Concert Celebrations (11oct)

Well. After the celebrations it was down to some hardcore preparation by the 2 grps of juniors.. for the Blast! 5th anniversary celebrations in November. This year, the 2 junior teams put up uber impressive items, and not to mention, a job well done(exceedingly so!) by the choreographers ahmad, joo&erwin as well. Kickass dudes. WE LOVE YOU guys!! Heh. So, after our last class for this sem, most of us headed down to PGP function room, despite the rain, with great anticipation for the performances.. in addition, we had the 4-man team dressed in blazers and performing a stunning sexyback spoof. HAA. I must applaud these 4 men for their effort, hiding in the toilet for sucha long while before they could perform the opening item. Ha. Guess what, Blast! adored them so much they even did an encore! a glimpse of the 4-man team..

Blast! 5th Anniversary (1Nov)

Oh wells.. exams are coming.. although there're no more class until the exams are over.. come COME come join us this Weds for Blast! Lunch, 12pm @ Arts Canteen. After that the Blast! Muggin crew will be proceeding the Central Library till late to prepare for the deadly final exams.. sob i hate exams.. Bleah. Just give hazel, ziyen or jooteng.. or yeah, whoever you know to check out if they're at the library. STUDY hard okay.. hahah thats all for now.. time to get down hit da books. Whoops.

ALOHA!

Here's your chance to catch some of our talented dancers on TV! Haa. Just recently, some dancers from Xiao's item took part in the filming of a Channel U variety show, Night Walk 步夜城.

Night Walk is an infotainment program packaged and presented in a drama format, featuring 4 characters played by Huang Biren, Shen Yunying, Cavin Soh and Shaun Chen. In the episodes, they will explore Singapore for various cool, fun night haunts in and also discover the various night professions.

So if you wanna know if Jiexiao, Jooteng, Winnie, Justin, Callista, Hazel, Leron & Damon looks good on TeeVee, and what the episode is about, do stay home & tune in to Night Walk 步夜城, on 11 OCT, 8.30pm. Unless of course, if you're joining us for Post DR Celebration, we'll all watch it together at Chevrons! :)
