* bring back the funk */ 1:37 AM
Hasn't been updating. sorry guys.
Right now i just wanna take the time to talk abt KO Night. about Locking. Will be a very long post... lol.
31st May was my first KO Night battle, against "Funky Lions". Fong and I won, and i supposedly did the best ever freestyle of my life so far. I really think that i was lucky, coz i couldn't have been more familiar with the music. but nevertheless, the feeling that i got on stage was special.
Somehow, somewhat... that battle made me realised, perhaps locking is really my thing after all. =)
And recently i've been thinking alot...
Big thanks to all those who came down just to support FonKay Styles. And i'm not used to all the praise abt me being dope. I dun think i'm there yet. Seeing Fong with nicer postures, techniques and groove, seeing K-Lock with better stamina and musicality, it all spurs me to think that I'm still not there yet. But i really appreciates all the compliments... Thanks.. =))
Well, I know i have what it takes. But i'm not there yet. And i just gotta be more consistent. Right now, i can freestyle but the good things dun always come. Sometimes i do it really well, but sometimes i get stuck and i keep repeating the same moves.
It all depends on the feel u know. The feeling u get from the stage, the audience, the music.
Last saturday, it felt awesome on stage. I knew tht all eyes were on me. I knew the music. And naturally i knew what moves to do, without thinking.
If only i can keep up with this, and always be able to do it... Then winning KO Night would be more of a reality rather than just a dream.
And winning KO Night isn't just for the kaki tamago.
I dun really care abt going to Japan. I mean, yea it's a great thing to have a free sponsored trip, but first i dun have $ to spend there, and next i dun know what i will do there with Fong. hahahaha. that's sth i seriously have no answer to at the moment. T__T
If i do win KO Night with Fong... it'll mean that all my hard work put into locking has finally bear fruit. It's just a platform for me to learn more, know more, improve more, and ultimately... express more. =)
My passion for locking goes further than i can imagine. The feeling i get from funk music, the joy i get from entertaining the audience, the sense of satisfaction knowing that I'm being myself on stage. Showing the world how much i love to dance...
I'm surprised by even myself, to have came this far. Little than 2 years ago i was just a junior, not knowing anything about Locking except that Ian was gd at it. and now, i'm up there on stage with Fong, gaining recognition for our efforts.
Honestly i'm tired. Having to balance between dance and studies, it's really difficult and tiring. But much as i keep telling myself to take a break from dance, my passion for locking just tells me not to stop. But i suppose tht after KO Night, FTL, and FB Production, I'll take the break that i've been wanting to have.
Then one day i might just come back fresher. =)
Next battle's on 14th June, against K-lock & Danny. I'm hoping for the best, hoping that I can do well on stage again. It's a challenge not just to win the opponent, but also a challenge to outshine myself with every rounds that come. And every battle matters, not juz this one against K-Lock.
And well, everyone eagerly anticipates for this battle. So am I. Coz K-lock, much as ppl have mixed opinions abt him, is still a worthy opponent who already has an established reputation. And i'm so looking forward to it man.
KO Night Quarter-Finals Battles Round 2: 14th June, Orchard Youth Park *Scape. 7.30pm, catch FonKay Styles there.
We'll shine. =)
