I know its been a long long time since I blogged or replied messages. Believe me. I do. Constant reminders everywhere, especially in the studio where I "bump" into most of them =P.

Many things happened after my previous post. I would like to wish the best for him. And for those of you who don't know yet, SOUL is officially a 3 man RnB group. Justis, Awi and yours truly are set on giving our dreams a final shot (inspiration for my "new" email: finalshotandy@hotmail.com). You can check out our brand new site www.soul.sg Exciting months ahead! Whee!.

The airing of Bao Jia Wei Guo allowed me to check out my 1st ever acting attempt. Haha. I had mixed reviews. Mostly tilted to the encouraging side. The most common "can see that you are improving and getting more natural in acting". Which... might indirectly mean "you suck but hey. There's only 1 way to go from where you are currently at." Muahaha!.

To be honest, I can't get used to watching myself act yet. And I have not caught all the scenes with me in it. All in all, its been an enriching experience and I muz say dis tryout has whetted my appetite for acting. Sad to say, most of the acting projects offered to me clash with my other commitments. Still waiting for another opportunity to hone my acting chops!.

Sharing a few pics from my "Be A Star" singing competition photoshoot. These are raw pics. Unedited yet. So which of these 2 pics do you think is the better shot?. I been quite undecided. Hmm...

*POOF*

Been taking a quite a few dance workshops conducted by renowned dancers/instructors from overseas. There’s Bboy Mouse (Current UK Bboy Champion), Unico (Son of Mr Wiggles and member of Rock Steady Crew) and UU (Member of Wrecking Crew Orchestra). Spent quite a lot, but gained a lot too. It was an enriching time spent broadening my dance knowledge and vocab. Had loads of fun too =P

Unfortunately, injuries that have plagued me ever so often came back to haunt. Dis time, its my wrists, particularly my left one. I attribute the injury to the breaking moves I was trying to master. I still wanna conquer the breaking moves… so… I turned to the master… Sam! n wad u saw above was his work =P (I even got him to take the pic for me. Muahaha!)

The injuries that bother me most are my ankles n wrists… I suspect its cos of my small hands n feet relative to my size. Hence the smaller ankles and wrists have to sustain more stress supporting my whole body. Tsk tsk… Cant change my wrists n ankles. Juz gotta live with them n strengthen them. At the same time taking extra precautions… if I wanna continue dancing =P

Shall move on to happier stuffz. The CLEO zodiac booklet is out with dis month’s issue of CLEO. I m in it. Topless again... somehow getting used to it liao (not a gd thing) =(

Soultrack has kindly scanned in the pic. Thanx for putting in the effort gals =P http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m240/soultrack/1906cleo.jpg Wad do u think of the pic? oh! Btw, the pose was NOT my idea! Haha!

To end off (injured ninja can’t *POOF* suddenly liao), I wanna thank Tingxuan for helping to spruce up my Yahoo 360 page. MUCH betta now aint it? I definitely couldn’t have done it myself =P

Ultra Ninja Andy is back to blog... After a LONG hiatus. oops. Juz some general updates dis time. So many things have happened. Cant remember wad to include. Whatever! Anything!

Lemme c... my last blog was on my ear piercing. As u can tell from the pic above, I have upgraded to a larger zirconian stud which i like betta than the one i had to start with. N i m damn relieved to share dat I have not gotten an infection so far... phew =P

The process of taking the initial stud out n replacing it with the current one was arduous. I was afraid I wld tear my earlobe cos the stud was sooo tight! when i finally managed to remove it, another challenge surfaced: My 1st time wearing a earring. I could not locate the earhole (which was damn tiny cos its freshly pierced). Frustratingly, after locating the front of the earhole, I had to find the back of the earhole. N pierced my flesh on a few occassions =( argh! So u can imagine my "high-ness" upon completing the "mission". Phew. Not intending to take off dis ear stud for awhile =P

Evoke, the Studio Wu Musical was a damn fresh experience for me. My involvement in it was only confirmed abt 2 weeks b4 the show. Really honoured to be dancing in a secret special item with Carol and Sheila. Wads especially special for me was the challenge of dancing a modern/jazz emo piece. Which is not my usual cup of tea. Coming up with the freestyle moves made me improve in my versatility as a dancer. Hope those who went enjoyed the item as much as I enjoyed performing it.

Sola! The love triangle doomed to solitude... Check out the cute lil soft toys i got for us =P Match our costume right? ~ Amazing ~ I got flowers from my "lovers" too. Muahaha!



Da De n me.



Me n Xiao De.



Its been quite some time since me n Ishi performed on stage together =P Brings back ol' memories. N of course, old habits die hard. The mic juz had to give up on Ishi... on BOTH nites! Gotta react n share mics, trying hard not to look like gay partners =P

Performing in the same show wif Yutaki, my wonderful brother is a long overdue affair. Its gd to c him doin well, pursuing his dreams as I pursue mine. Respect!

*POOF* (sudden disappearance is the hallmark of great ultra ninjas)

Finally, after considering for long, I decided to pierce my first earhole =P Honestly, I have been thinking about it since my sec sch days. haha. at that time, my mum was against it... so bo pian.
But now, my mum can't do anything about it! Oops! (juz joking mum, btw Happy Mothers' Day =P) So I set my mind to do it on the last day of my filming for the chinese drama "Bao Jia Wei Guo". Partly cos I was playing a commando officer in the show n can't sport earrings.
After the filming, I went with a friend to search around Orchard for places to pierce ears. N found out that prices can range from $5 - $150! The difference is largely due to the different quality studs used. N whether they use disposables to pierce the ear etc...
Needless to say, being the poor man that I am, I choose to go for the cheap (but safe hopefully) option. haha. Walked in to a Bits n Pieces outlet eventually.
I decided to heed the results of the poll and some comments people gave me, so I m piercing only one hole on my left ear =P The lady used a pen to mark out where she would pierce, but I preferred it a lil further away from my face, so she marked another one (eventually, I would walk out with a new earhole n mole).
What you saw above is what i call the "ear piercing gun" (not sure abt the actual term). After cleaning the apparatus and ear stud with alcohol I assume, here it comes! haha.

Took only a split second. Juz an ant bite as alot of people said. But really got to be quite a large ant =P After that, the ear felt hot, but the discomfort lasted juz awhile.
N.......... lo n behold! my 1st ear piercing!

Alright, the stud is really quite tiny, but I gotta leave it on for a couple of weeks b4 i can change to a bigger n nicer one =P Interesting experience. N I heard from a friend of mine that her brother fainted when he pierced his ears! N had to be sent to hospital! Wah lau! Tsk tsk. Gu Niang! Oops!
