Interview with Megamint

Why did your group choose this name?

It was a tough process to produce a group name that's nice, memorable and meaningful. So we tried merging our names and after several options we decided on Megamint [Mag and Amin]. It's simple, catchy and hopefully memorable.

How did you guys get together?

We both knew each other at least 5 years ago in a dance studio, Jitterbugs SWingapore That's how everything started.

Where do you all practice together?

We're both instructors in Jitterbugs so most of the time when there's studio availability, we'll use the space to rehearse. Sometimes we practice at Scape open area to help us adapt to different temperature [because it's outdoor] and flooring. Once in a while we'll have late night rehearsal at Brave Dancers Studio Singapore.

How old are both of you?

She is 28 and I am 23.

Did you guys took part in any other events before?

As an individual, we took part in a wide range of dance events; from commercial shows to artistry production to street dance battle. As a group we've participated a dance competition 3 years ago in a club and also Singapore Dance Delight Volume 2.

Tell me what inspire you guys?
Inspiration comes from all areas of life. The simplicity and complexity of natural human reaction is intriguing enough to inspire us. The most basic concept we're still practising is stylising naturalistic movement and exploring with contact improvisation. If we narrow it down to the dance world, we are especially inspired by Sonya Tayeh, Mia Michaels, Christopher Scott and so many others both locally and internationally.

What are your dreams and aspirations?
How far can a professional dancer go? That's probably our dream.

What do you think is the most distinctive feature of your team?

The combination of different styles and personalising it with our own flavour that is uniquely ours.

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end. 2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

INTERVIEW WITH MR GRAND SINGAPORE 2022: JOEL CHUA (NO.8)

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend. Though vigorous, I felt that they were all enjoyable with the class of 2022 around. 3) Are there any nervous moments and stress factors during the competition and how did you deal with it? Yes definitely, Im always nervous whenever there is a Q&A segment as im afraid I’ll freeze up on stage or not be able to give a satisfactory answer. I guess how I dealt with it was to just let down my shoulders and enjoy the moment. Being relaxed and just being myself because that’s what people want to see! 4...
