What's so Gutsy about it?

Yup...Next up was basically about GUTs..How daring you are...For this round, i happened to be grouped with Benjamin, James, Kiwi and Leon. Early in the morning..We were dressed up quite casually with a pair of berms and shirt, and were escorted into a room. Before that, we were anticipating of having to eat or touch some gross stuff like in Fear Factor. Well, much to our surprise, we saw 1 guy and 1 gal dancing with some long red cloth in the room. We were like...HUH?? What's so scary about that? Ah huh! We were instructed to learn the dance from them! So...they were our 老師! Yes! We are gotta learn to dance 彩帶舞! Oh my goodness..I was asking myself??! I can't dance for nuts, for goodness sake! Hate dancing man! Haha! What does that gotta do with GUTS??! Ok fine..Whatever..

I was perspiring as i learned the swinging and coordinating of the whole dance. Freaking not easy man! Probably it was just me i guessed..Haha! I made the instructors vomited blood i guessed. Sorry Viv and Kenneth! But they were really patient and awesome, i must say..We became friends even now. Oh yes! Not to sidetrack, we had an hour or so kinda crash course, and then were called to change into our smart and formal outfit with tie.

Part 1 of the challenge was...Dancing 彩帶舞 in the public! We will be judged on our composure dancing in the public.We were supposed to dance at Raffles Place, but it was raining and we moved on to Orchard 313, which happened to be the 2nd day of opening. Goodness me..It was packed with people after people. We were seated at Addy's Moonsoon Salon while waiting for our turn to 'perform' in public. In our smart and formal outfit, we were handed a mini compo and a briefcase which contained our 彩帶. The instruction was that we gotta walk out from nowhere and settle ourselves in front of the concierge where there was the most people walking. Place the mini compo and briefcase down, play the music, take out the 彩帶 and dance for 3 mins, and we must end off with a shout out Hur!Hur!(Something like a 'garang' war cry)

The camera crew was hidden somewhere 'up there' where no one will notice, so it won't seen like some sorta shooting.

Ok..James was the 1st one, and i don't really know how he fared because no contestants was allowed to watch one another. My turn up next, and as calmly as i could, with the mini compo on my left and briefcase on my right, off i went! Placed both down, and played the mini compo. Wow! It was really really loud man! You can't miss it definitely if you are around. Took out my 彩帶 and started dancing away. I had no idea what i was dancing and i just 'anyhow' invented my own dance and smiling my way through the whole ordeal. The 3 mins were like forever, and i was panting and perspiring and i started smiling awkwardly, and i believed was all captured on camera..I was filling with thoughts and was thinking isn't that humiliating and making a fool out of us? Sigh...A fruit of thought for the day?? But i did heard of feedback and comment on that after it was aired. Finally, i was signaled to stop, i packed up my stuff and let out a big shout of Hur! Hur! which i believed at least 3-4 floors of people heard that. Haha! Followed on

was Kiwi and Leon, they weren't really in a good mood though. I thought Ben was hilarious, he started out his war cry as and when he like while dancing. He scared the heck out of a malay auntie who walked past him, and i was laughing my head off that man! Goodness..

At the end of the day, i think i did well for this segment despite fumbling my dance but i managed to stay calm and smile..at least thats according to the judges. Well...next part of the challenge is gotta be more interesting! Creepy stuff...Till then again... ;)
