Ooooh dear....very late but better than never eh! :p
I've alot to update you on. The past two weeks have been quite eventful, hence why I haven't updated my blog.
First's thing's first, the AUC talent show was successful in that we performed very well. We didn't win but we got up the biggest crowd and got great comments from the judges. The judges however were all musicians and chose musicians for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place even though they weren't necessarily amazing. I'll let you check it out for yourself! follow this link:

This is just the beginning of the crew I think. We met up and discussed ways forward so we have another show in a month's time with RedBull. We want to enter Arab's Got Talent and so we need to have a trailer to show with the application form. So on Friday we decided to meet up first thing in the morning to shoot a video with a proper director (a friend of Filex's). It looked pretty awesome because our setting was Yasmine's roof terrace with an epic view of the Nile and pyramids far off in the background. I'm looking forward to seeing the video when it's all put together. We had to do the dances about 7 times so that he could get it from different angles. We also had to do a solo each which took alot of time and effort on my part to rehearse. Even then I don't think it was amazing because I kept changing my mind. He is only going to take clips from it though and mix it throughout the video.

Last week though was a much needed break for me, it was my easter holidays and it was amazing to have long sleeps without anything in particular to do! Me and a few friends to a trip to Nuweiba and Dahab which are on the Red Sea coast. The beaches were beautiful, calm and and relaxing. We all took time to chill out, snorkle and even do a little bike ride along the coast to the Blue Lagoon....beautiful. An epic part of the trip was our trek up Mount Sinai. we start our climb at 1.30am and reached the peak at about 4.30am with some stopoffs for coffee! it was pretty cold but as we waited for sunrise we slowly saw the true beauty of the landscape. It was class to know that this was where Moses received the Ten Commandments all those years ago. And I was there! :D
