I really dunno if Im going KL or not.

Do I want to? I feel like it... but have important meetings every weekend.

sigh...

First its the Magic Festival/competition thing.. which we hear abt but no advertising on it. So based on that.. it seem like its something small... im not sure... :(

Second is this dance thing. I'm like coaching lil kiddies in my church on dancing Hip Hop.. and so would b good to go for this Dance Festival and learn a thing or two....

Sigh...

I might just call Vincent from MR now to check on wat's actually happening.

Which crew representing for the hip hop dance?

Damn all these good stuff just come after I left Malaysia :(

wow...sounds good.
Anyone knows if the jazz dance includes if swing/lindy hop?

Im going KL next weekend... for the Magic Festival 9-10.

It kinda clashes with this though.. well will see how.

Here's the link to more information about the dances and stuff :

Im interested to watch the Hip hop one...

Sigh...

Well i love magic more than dance.. (and I cant dance! hehe) but the thing is i never got to experience watching dance competitions before.... hmmmm

I'll be staying with Isaac, near subang parade... and i guess that's pretty far away from Times Square... im not sure.

Anyway... i'll be happy just to stay and watch and jam magic.
