A lil intro maybe, but I knew them mostly from Astro Battleground... Chriz and Billy are the original members. Together with Monkey, Leon and Gary, they won Astro Battleground 2008 with their creative and neat choreography.

Dennis was also a winner of Astro Battleground 2007, competing under a highly potential crew known as Racken Force. He joined Elecoldxhot to challenge Astro Battleground again in 2009 and had fought beautifully to the final. Despite outstanding performances delivered throughout the show, this crew was only able to get first runner up in the competition.

Joe Lin with his crew, Free was also one of the competing teams in Astro Battleground 2009. They demonstrated very high standard performances, but wasn't good enough to fight the other extraordinarily strong teams that gathered all at once in that year's competition. To me, that was the most exciting street dance competition ever held in Malaysia. Do do check them out on Youtube... I dare to say the standard was a lot better than Showdown 2011. But still, I'll follow Showdown till the final. As for Joey, this is the first time I see him on TV, so I don't have much to say about him... :X

Elecoldxhot: Showdown Week 6 Life Show

Here's Elecoldxhot's week 6 live show... I don't know whether I like this performance or not... I was waiting for the impact... but it just didn't come :/

They have set their benchmark so high on Week 4 live show that now they have no choice but to maintain that level of entertainment and difficulty, otherwise their performance would be overshadowed. I have seen better performances from them such as this one.

I guess what Elecoldxhot lacks of is grooving... Hope they work that out :)

Elecoldxhot: Showdown 2011 Week 5

There you go. Yet another awesome performance by Elecoldxhot in Showdown 2011 week 5 live show. It's unquestionable that they were the best crew of the night, but I kinda feel it's overshadowed by last week performance... :/ maybe I just prefer trans over vampires.. nyehehe....

You know once you get famous, you can't escape your fate of being drawn into some horrible manga character by some crazy otaku fans... XDDDD Here's one on Dennis~<3

8TV Showdown 2011--Analyzing Elecoldxhot: from an audience point of view

OMG... I'm totally into street dance recently and showdown 2011 is definitely one of the most prestigious street dance competitions that cannot be missed yo!

This year I'm eying on Elecoldxhot. Frankly speaking I wasn't quite a big fan of them before this. I've seen their performance in Astro Battleground and click through some of their videos on Youtube. While I found their style unique, their skills are lacking and their dance variety limited. I thought they still don't groove much to the music, they still stop half way through the dance and waste time looking at each other, too much slow mo..

But this performance totally blown me away... O.O

The crowd just love it don't they? I myself have watched it for countless times :D

To me, rather than doing complicated flipping or human stacking or any moves that requires years of practicing to achieve perfectness, they focused more on choreographing a set that would sell for sure. They've mastered the tactics so well that people would be totally mesmerized by their show and oversee the weaknesses in their moves. Take this video for example. Dennis is the only one who can shake like a real mama.. But the show was a blast, no one really cares about how they dance.. It was so mind blowing that you won't even have time to think : hey, that guy should have shaken harder.. Of course if everyone could dance like Dennis that would give extra merit..

Another strength of this crew is they are very confident in themselves and their crew members. They work together so well that you can hardly find any fault in their routine 95% of the time. Everyone in the team loves their set, they have practiced for so many times and all there is left is to impress the people. Not to mention they are hardworking and creative. They are able to pull it off every week with strong believe in themselves.

Quoting Showdown judge Maple Loo: They are creative, cool, confident, they have character, they got craft and lastly they dance like crazy. This group will definitely go far in this competition. All the best to Elecoldxhot!!

Ahhh... It's a lazy Tuesday afternoon...

Life is as usual

Doing assignments and watching Youtube videos at the same time is an unchanged routine for the past 4 years..

Sometimes when assignment gets really boring and stressful, I'd start to think if all of these are worth it...

art passion

I'm actually a big fan of anime and manga:) Here are some of my art works that I produced during free time^^ no matter how busy I am, I can always find some time to practice my drawing skills. But as you can see my skills are still very immature. I wonder how far I could have gone if I took design course rather than engineering 5 years ago...

Sometimes it really made me down. I'm not at all a bright student, I know my own capabilities. It was mere self ego that pushed me forward. That half-hearted effort made me an incompetent engineering student and a poor artist. I believe every success comes with a true passion and 100% commitment. And the saddest thing in the world, is to give up your true passion for other people's passion.
