Disappointed with myself

Today, I tried practising my dance after work but it just didn't turn out well. You just get into one of those non-performing mood. Quite disappointed with myself. Fail to diet, dance poorly, sigh. Wouldn't know what to expect. Of course I shouldn't be expecting anything. Like the saying goes, God helps those who helps themselves! I really have to worked extremely hard in these next 2 weeks.

No time for anything else but practise. I need to make some time for myself now. Been training people and need to start working on myself. Work is also demanding sometimes you just dont know which to do. At work, I would feel like dancing. Somemore there's a company trip next week :( I would normally look forward to trips but somehow I don't this time round.
I handover my beloved costume today to my next successor. I must admit that it looked really good on her. I am proud of my 1st LD dance costume. Anyways, time to let go and move on to new stuff.

K, going to bed. It's going to be a long day tomorrow starting at 7:45am right through to 6pm if I need to teach the replacement classes. It's also dad's birthday tomorrow and I haven't done anything about it. Such a brilliant daughter I am! Was a little bit rude to him earlier coz I had to force shut down my MAC or the 1st or 2nd time I can't remember. Probably will take him out for dinner tomorrow.

Busy Busy Busy - Such a Bad Word!!

It's been almost a week since I blogged. Very simple summary of what happened. It's all work work and dance dance dance everyday and will be more the next 2 1/2 weeks till the dance competition July 15th. Last week was a bit lazy and have excuse because of my back. I cancelled most of my classes throughout the week.

Weekend was also jam pack with teaching mainly. I actually made a point to attend a FOC Viennesse Waltz lesson to see if I can catch up on the steps. This is the first collaboration between Malaysia and Austria to introduce the famou annual ball dance in Austria and conducting it here in Malaysia. A friend who's in encouraged to join and I thought there may still be a chance if there are insufficient couples. Unfortunately, I found out on Sunday that they had enough. It's ok with me as my focus has diversified because I'm supposed to concentrate on my upcoming competition.

It looks really grand and if you get chosen, you will dance in Austria during their annual event in Jan. Anyways, I was told that the chosen couple has to be within the age range of 17-25. I tried my luck thinking that I may score a higher chance since I'm not exactly a beginner dancer. In my first session last Friday, it was really an eye opener other than the fact that not many can dance. There were quite a lot of 'leng chais' there whom I believe were from Austria.

The dance in Malaysia will happen this coming Friday, 29th June so that's quite soon. Astro did a coverage on the dance performance on Monday and it came out in the papers on Tues, 26th June. Link is:

Oh, I actually had dinner in J&R for 2 nights in a row in Hartamas trying different food which is not too bad. Sat evening was my ever favorite Chicken Salad. It was fried much to my surprise as the one I consistently ordered at the branch opposite my office in D'sara Heights seemed to have it grilled. Perhaps I didn't specify BUT the menu was the same!!!!!!!!
Best thing is Monday we had an internal meeting and we are to have lunch in the office. Guess where we were going to order our lunch from......J&R!!!!!!! It's AGAIN for me but good news for the rest. Anyways, I was heading off to Plaza Damas for lunch but I still placed my order for a Double Sausage with Fried Onions Sandwich to keep for diner instead hehehe....
K, yes can't open already and it's 12:45am. Off to bed.......ZzZzZzZzZ

Booty Shaking

When will I be able to master booty shaking like this?


Nice ending with shower!



All Whites - SEXY!

DNA Test

This may not be NEW news to people but it IS to me!!! This was one test that is pretty hard to schedule for and the waiting list is normally very long. Exceptions are given to people who needs the test desperately if they are extremely ill. Anyways, I did my test on Jun 18, Monday at 11:30am. Got permission from boss to take some time off. It's basically a thorough test. Blood test can only tell so much but believe it or not, this really tells you to the very details that you would not have thought of or what basic test can't provide. Not going to elaborate so hard. Test took only 15 minutes with some straps to your forehead, wrists and ankles. Not a PRICK of blood for those who are afraid.

Results time after the 15 minutes of lying naked in your underwear with just a towel covering your body was the daunting thought of what the results might be. Parents were there to give moral support, YEA RITE! They were there in case I don't understand the results read out to me! Oh well, am not going to reveal too much detail but basically the doc has mentioned to me things that I'm facing which I haven't even mentioned to them. So if you ever wanna test if the machine is a fake, try this. Let the doctor finished all the talking and see if she hits spot on. The good thing is I didn't inherit any bad diseases but have to really take care. The other surprising thing which I wasn't even aware of is the question on whether I've sprained my back. I didn't take notice of it but I felt it the next day when I went to the studio to dance or practise my steps.

Walla and I got a sore back. I can't really arch probably for Waltz and don't think I should aggravate it any further so I stopped. Subsequently, a massage was arranged and I went to Hartamas to do it. That was yesterday, Tuesday. Today i feel the pain even more. Not really sure if the massage made it worse for me. I can only pray that the pain goes away. Anyways, too much said and my eyes are barely open...Gnite all.....

Good Weekend Workout

Sat's training was HARDCORE after I've mentioned to my trainer that I had Kuey Teow the night before. Sigh, he keeps reminding as I train that I have only burnt away some part of the kuey teow's calories as I go. I shall NOT mention again hahahaha...Oh well, it was a great workout nonetheless.. Did quite a bit for the thighs and abs plus for the oblique this time round too.

Proceeded to class later in the afternoon. Not too sure why the traffic was SO BAD that I was actually 30 minutes for the FIRST TIME!! Oh well, I managed to replace only 15 minutes this week and will proceed with another 15 minutes the following week. Was tired as usual after 4 hours straight of teaching. Now a bit smarter, not going to use too much strength and feel lethargic before the end of the day.

Sunday was FATHER'S DAY and BRO'S BIRTHDAY!!!! I didn't spend much time looking for things therefore proceeded to give bro money to buy what he wants and on top of that, supposed or really purposed to treat dad for dinner. It turned out that dad paid for all hehe coz the place we had food does not accept credit card and it so happened that I've used up cash. It was utterly embarrasing. I told dad that I'll buy back dinner the next round. Anyways, his birthday is end of June so he will be getting the dinner soon hehe...

Well, Sunday morning till slightly pass afternoon was practise and training session. I really went all out for my Funky and lo and behold, I received a positive comment that I really had the power. HOWEVERRRRRRR, there's still the downsight of the comment. I need to go down on my weight a bit so it will be ligher and better for a competitor to dance. That's about all. Just dancing the weekend away.I'll come back to blog on the rest of the days later.

Very the sleeeeepyyyyy

It must be signs of aging or old age! It's a Friday night and I can't wait to hit the sack. Well obviously from the blog before you can see that I slept extremely late. I got all excited and 'gung ho' after practise last night and continued to come home to observe the music video until late. Should not have done that as it was such a torture at work today and having continuously lack of sleep throughout the week can really be tormenting to the body.

Neck was aching too coz of doing too much movements the night before. Otherwise it was ok. Had a longer break for lunch. Boss went out with another colleague for home visits/research groups and wasn't coming back at all. Thought I would be seeing her after lunch to go through some things. I just was NOT productive today at all *sigh*

Headed off to Midvalley for dinner. Couldn't be bothered going through the hassle of competing for parking, I opted for the more premium option of parking at the valet area. Small car trying to act big hahaha parking amongst the luxurious cars. Had Kway Teow at Madam Kwan's and also a bit of sinful dessert (mixture of Ice Kacang, Sago Gula Melaka and Cendol). Of course I DIDN'T EAT all of it myself. It was shared....else I will feel extremely guilty. Was good to catch up with ex colleagues aka good friends. Tried catching Shrek 3 but the next showtime was really late. None of us wanted to say on that late and besides, I have a Personal Training Session tomorrow morning!! Going to bed nowwwwww...........yay!!! Hello pillows and teddies heeeh......gnite.

Cute Lil Fantasia...

See my cute lil fantasia! Quite difficult to get her to post like that. It took only a 1-2 seconds for me to snap as the minute i take away my hands from stroking her, she gets up. Manja baby!! She had Parvo virus and it's really a miracle that's alive, well and kicking! Bravo Fantasia!!! Ceh, sound like American Idol pulak.

Parvo virus basically is a viral disease of dogs and mainly affects puppies than adult dogs. The virus likes to grow in rapidly dividing cells. The intestinal lining has the biggest concentration of rapidly dividing cells in a puppy's body. The virus attacks and kills these cells, causing diarrhea (often bloody), depression (dog also have, unbelievable!) and suppression of white blood cells which come from another group of rapidly dividing cells. In very young puppies, it can infect the heart muscle and lead to "sudden" death. I already lost 1 or 2 puppies to Parvo virus :( It normally takes a few days and the puppy will just die. It's pretty sad as there's nothing you can do to help them.

Crab Menu

There's really something wrong with my cable connection or it could be the phone. Can't seem to transfer automatically the minute the USB cable gets connected like before. Maybe it's because I've been pulling it out just like that instead of doing the proper way of clicking on the green cute button to eject hardware sigh! Oh well.

Just wanted to paste here the menu of over 30 different cooking styles for crabs from DeFoodLand before I forget them or have problem retrieving from my mobile. Am still awake.

A week's summary blogged in 1 hour!

Can't believe it's a week since I last blogged!! Oh well...hardly have the time to sit down and start writing stories. Well, a quick summary is that the week has been busy with work no doubt. After practise last Monday, I made a point to do a quick practise on Tuesday too tapping on the opportunity that the class has been cancelled. Hmm.. what did I do on last Wed? Oh yeah, it was my first corporate class, new session. Not bad for the first timers! Manage to struggle past 2 walls hahah...sounds a bit contradictory. Everyone (fingers crossed) from my gauge enjoyed it. Lets see this Wed if the consensus will still be the same.

Rushed off for practise despite the amount of work left behind for a short 40 mins practise as everyone was eagerly waiting to go back to watch our friend compete in So U Think U Can Dance. Now it's the Top 5 couples left. Unfortunately, our friend who we support was the one to leave for the week. I must say that the competitors were really strong. It was really tough as the other girls were great! Well, there's always next time and it was superb experience I would say as long as they have been there practising and competing amongst one another! Wished I had that chance! Stayed over at MK after the TV show and left for work a little late the next day hehe...

TGIF as usual! Since I stayed over kinda last minute, I just exhaust whatever spare clothes I had in my car and went to work. I dont want to be exposing every single week or time and I just realised that it sparked some comments from my colleagues hahaha wondering why am I not pulling on a sexy attire that day. I thought back and realised that I tend to wear halter top on most of the Fridays. Oh well....it really doesn't matter. That shows people observe, not sure if it's a good thing or not!
Saturday was my official first day of PT at Summit and boy did it feel good although it was difficult to wake up. Continued with a bit of laundry and shot off to buy for SOMEONE the external HDD. A bit jealous myself and itchified wanting to change as I got this friend a better casing than my own :( I got a FINE too thanks to me rushing there and parking on Yellow Line. Just My Luck!!!

Still went to teach after that from 2-6pm. Pretty knocked out and hungry. Went to grab a slice of Cheezy Choc at Secret Recipe and came back to join the remaining time of the "Popping" class. After class, realised that Chris doesn't have transport and no plans so I decided to send him back but had dinner at Curve first before going home. Finally, the day was over as I was really tired.Sunday worst still!!! Can feel body ache... I gung ho and still proceeded to teach. It was training time so I didn't move much except when it came to my category. Appreciated that 1 or 2 of the students went to buy me someting to eat as I had no break after the training to the next class which I teach as well. Alas, had a really good dinner at DefoodLand for the first time....Ordered 2 types of Crab. 1 of which is their famous Salted Egg one and the other was dipped in some Yummy Creamy sauce. Dont know the name though and I ACTUALLY UNBELIEVABLY made a point to eat haha as the place was famous for crabs. The other dishes were pretty good to me as well. A good end to the week hehe ;)

Good Pactise

Well rested thanks to another day off which is why I always enjoy having Mondays off. It's back to work tomorrow but at least the blues aren't there hopefully *fingers crossed!* Did a bit of laundry and followed by Spring Cleaning. Can NEVER stand whenever I see daddy longlegs in my room. It's not exactly as clean as it should be as the dungu maid is only capable of so much! So I do need to take matters into my own hands at least once a month. It feels so much better when I really vaccuum the whole place myself. Then again, the maid ain't allowed to touch the vacuum cleaner as it's a bit exp!! Must buy her some cheap ones else it will be terrible if she wrecks it knowing the fact that they haven't a clue on the cost of it and it matters NOT to them what happens anyway.

Left for studio to practise after lunch. It was raining when I was about approaching the D'sara toll. Had my rounds of practise with the rest of the other students. Those that asked me yesterday to attend today's session didn't turn up themselves but that's fine. We all practise by our respective categories. Mine was one of the worst as it has 3 dances! Of course for those who enters more than 1 category had 4 in total as each category contains 2 dances. The whole group practised for a bit and after a while, all were tired and it was just me and 3 more students. Guided them a bit more and then the other 2 left. So t was just me and another girl. It really good when the studio is all to yourself. Did a fair bit of practise on our own. I felt that I did some work as it's only a month away to show off all you have practised.

Had KFC for dinner with my friend although it's not exactly the best food but wanted some kind of protein. Chatted a bit and then left for home. Was supposed to start my 1st personal training at the gym but tak jadi! Laziness took over....NO la, trainer not free so changing to either Wed/Thurs. Its going to be a tough month for me balancing work and dance but oh well, am sure it's all worth it! :D

Too Full...

Slept in once again today. Somehow got up with a bit of a headache. Maybe I overslept. Should try not to sleep more than 8 hours, it shortens your life by half! Anyways, I got up to do a few things and headed off to the studio for the usual Sunday training.

This time I got the training rather than having train people. It's best that you get someone's observation on you in order to help rectify your steps. There are quite a few things to master within this 1 month .... wah really a lot until want to pengsan .... once again last minute work!!

I only did the Waltz and was perspiring like mad. All it takes is really focus on one dance and it's enough to make you feel like you have done many dances already. Well I must say that I was lack of stamina. Geez, how in the world to build it in just 1 month?!?! Looks like I have to put in extra extra hard work. I managed to pick up the arm styling for the other dances.
Thank God it's an off day for me tomorrow as I can use some hours to practise at the studio as well.

Dinner was great today! Brought my parents and grandma to the NYONYA restaurant in SS2. Today was one of the very RARE ocassion that I see my grandma enjoying food thank GOD as she always MUST have something to complain/condemn thinking that hers is the best in the world!! Price is rather reasonable and portions aren't too big.

Just did some vaccumming for the upstairs living room and brother's room which is filthy with dust especially those on the walls. Was too full from dinner hence decided to work a bit. Haven't cleared parents' and my own room which I shall leave i for tomorrow. It's 12am and I'm already feeling sleepy, "sigh"

Blessed is a long weekend!!

Thanks to the KING's birthday that my company is replacing it with an off day on Monday woohooo!!! Although it's only Saturday so far, its just a NICE FEELING knowing you have another extra day off. I really slept well after the drink the night before. Got up a bit blur but ok la, still manage to do my laundry. Though it was a holiday, my usual 2-4pm class was still on. Thank God majority of the 4-6pm class were on holiday, else PENGSAN!! It is the mid term holiday period now. One week has passed and another week to go. The working class like myself certainly enjoy holiday period as traffic is just smooth!!

Anyways, I was a bit hungry after class so invited Chris, the POPPER (1 of the Top 20 Finalists from So U Think U Can Dance) who just started his first class there. It was really cool to learn how to "pop." If you dont know what "POPPING" means, too bad as I can't explain either heheh.....Perhaps I will google it up and put the explanation in my next blog. We had some garlic bread with a pitcher of coke at Shakeys which was only a few doors away from the studio with a few others.

Since it wasn't dinner, we ordered pretty little. Went back to the studio after that as Chris's class was going to start. Quite a low turnout as mentioned before, it is the holiday season. Saw what they were learning and I kepoh also la went to learn coz Chris was teaching "POPPING" which was really COOL!!! We were doing it to Justin's song called "MY LOVE." No doubt all the arms hurt after that but it was really nice. It doesn't seem like much is done but so much inner strength was used. You practically perspire once you catch the actual technique of executing the steps. He taught the very basic of "popping" which was still a STRUGGLE but I must admit it was fun and I am NOT giving up so fast without practising!

Left for home after that. Had dinner at home which has been a while and was doing some work. Later, decided to look happening la by going to STARBUCKS to access the Internet via WIFI with my beautiful MAC and have a good cuppa drink. Anyhow, it ended to be really useless as it was so cold and connection so bad that I headed home not too long after that.

Cool Friday

Friday was great! Its been a while since I last had some sip of "drinks" hehe...minus the shandy I had on Wednesday night. It was lot of last minute request but after my boss left, I just started packing and doing other nonsensical things haha....It was FRIDAY so *^$#$@ everything else hehe...

My dear friend actually ffk me as he was recovering from flu but oh well ended up going to Sky Bar with good ole friends. I was still happy that I went. It's just that I wasn't too sure of the direction as it was my first time driving there on my own. Nevertheless, thanks to a friend who's like a GPS as he was able to gave me extremely clear directions.

We were lucky to get a place as it was slightly pass 10pm when I reach. My friends reached slightly earlier than me as they had their dinner in KLCC. Those friends are really good drinkers *salute* and I am peanuts compared to them. I was into my first drink which I can't even spell it and hated the taste of it. They were teasing me and said that the 1 drink I had would last me the whole night which could have been true as it tasted horrible. Ended up giving that drink to my friend and ordered another. This time it is Lychee Martini, something familiar as I have tried it only ONCE during my SG trip in April and liked the taste of it.

Only dangerous thing is it taste rather nice and you kinda drink it like your normal packet drink you buy which you have for quenching thirst and alcohol content isn't exactly LOW. You got what i mean! It has Vodka and I understood that Vodka is made up of at least 40% alcohol content. See how ignorant I'm about drinks! I downed it fast as I was thirsty but started to feel farny.....Placed order for the 2nd one but only took a few sips as I needed to drive home. Sigh where is a boyfriend when you need one....... :)
