Feel the beat of the tamborine

You might not know this, but...

I have been going to the Showdown 2011 live show every week (well, except this week since i had my PMS - i think) which was held in iCity. My mummy would go all "Why waste your money on this concert concert thing again? Always concert. Later don't ask me money." if she reads this. But fear not dear mummy, for this is a free thingy.



Don't know what Showdown is? Google yourself, i malas want to explain. Or just tune in to 8tv every Wednesday night at 9.30pm.

Yeah i know i know. Most of you would probably be thinking why on Earth am i doing this. Well, it all started once upon a time when two boys discovered some bboys practicing their moves in Bukit Bintang. They were so amazed that they think they had finally found their purpose of life or something. Then the two boys started spreading words and later more boys and girls shared their fascination. Suddenly, the boys were bboy wannabee buddies and they started to create secret handshakes and stuff. Gosh. Boys, so immature.

Oh that's not the worst part.

And then they discovered Showdown 2011 was being held in iCity, which is like a ten-minute drive away from where we're staying.

Thus the decision to watch it live every week, and i was dragged to tag along.

Don't get me wrong, i really do love the dance scene. Not really sure how the scene is here in Malaysia though. But that was before. After watching Showdown week to week, i can proudly say that the dance scene in Malaysia is not so bad after all!

My favourite crew, HMC Phlow. Check these guys out!

Being involved in Showdown reminds me of my dancing days back in school. Laugh lah all you want, but hey. IT'S THE DANCE CLUB'S PRESIDENT OF 2009 YOU'RE DEALING WITH HERE.

No,there's no need for you to jump off a cliff out of disbelief. I don't believe it either, since i'm not really that talented.

I can say that my passion for dance started at a very young age. I remembered my first dancing performance in kindergarten, it was "Cindai". How can i not remember, since my dad still bugs me with the dance routine every now and then. (That's not actually so bad. My sister did "I'm A Little Teapot" back in kindergarten, and my dad still bugs her about it. Now which one's more embarrassing? Hers riiiightt) Then came primary school and i was still involved in some dancing. High school was the peak of my dancing era, since my high school life was pretty much filled with dancing activities.

I remembered how i used to stay up late just to practice. While other students were busy preparing for their exams and stuff, i was busy memorizing dance steps. Oh the sacrifices we dancers made. I'd lie if i tell you it's not tiring. But the feeling of doing something you love can easily beat that.

One thing i love about being a dancer in school is the feeling of being someone important. Suddenly we're important to the school since everything we do on stage affects the image of the school. When my school had events with schools from other countries, there's suddenly a demand for the dancers since the best way to show our country's culture is by dance. We got invited to events other students weren't allowed to go, did some shows for charity and even went for a holiday in another country!

Ahhh good times.

Now two years after graduating from school, i can't even remember the last time i swung my hips. My packed schedule doesn't really allow me to get involved in club activities, so there goes my dancing days. Done. Over. (Accept those times in the toilet when i imagined myself being one of the contestants in SYTYCD.....)

And i am missing it a lot.

Anyway, i remembered Chriz Ooi from Elecoldxhot wore the Adidas winged shoes in one of their shows. No big deal, just that IT IS THE DOPEST SHOES ON EARTH THAT'S ALL. If you have been following me on Twitter, you would know how crazy i am with this shoes. It's an old design, i know, but who cares i still want it anyway.

And it matches my Swatch winged watch. More the reason to love!

The shoes look something like this:



Match it up with my watch, and i'll probably look like this:




In this week's show, there's also someone using the shoes while performing. Okay what exactly are you trying to tell me dear God? Is this a sign that someone would finally buy it for me? If not, then stop shoving it in my face please.

I'll instantly fall in love with the person who'd buy me those. I think that person would be Flynn Rider. Kbye.
