Tired

after like 4 hours of ‘training’ and dancing. Yes, Bubbles and I decided that we need to be more diligent in our ‘training’ and went to Xen for practise ourselves. I told Bubbles it’s a good time because there is basically no one there this weekend as they are all at the Malaysia congress.

I wetn earlier, but Xen was not opened yet. Called EM and she rushed down to open the door for me. Touched… And so Bubbles and I practised our basic turn and cross body lead turn respectively. 17-yr-old gal was there. Since she was the expert (compared to the 2 of us), I requested her to demonstrate the cross body lead turn. She said the same thing as all instructors did. Practise practise practise. Sigh. Isn’t that what I am doing?

I Have seen 17-yr-old gal several times, but have not spoken to her, other than a nod and smile. I always thought that she was very proud, because she danced well, and looked quite sluttish, maybe because of the way she danced, but isn’t that how Salsa should be danced? Sexy, alluring. But then, she turned out to be quite friendly and obliging. I am glad that I took the initiative to talk to her. I must learn not to be so judgemental.

Am attending class next Monday and Wednesday, private lesson on Tuesday, Facial on Thursday, Union Square on Friday (if everything goes through), Isolation on Saturday. Busy busy me. Oh, should I change my class to Thursday instead? Wednesday is always so crowded. And WH teaches Thursdays.

*Thinks hard*

Union Square

was great. Despite the fact that we were only there for about an hour, and did not dance, we still enjoyed ourselves watching others.

Some of the people, can tell that they are beginners, because all they did were basic steps. But most of the people there can dance quite well kind.

The best thing is, they play all sorts of salsa music there. Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, everything. Shiok! Manicurist S and I decided that we will jio more people, especially guys, there next Friday. Must dance there!

S and I were standing at one table very near to the dance floor. Actually that wasn’t the dance floor. As long as there is space, people will dance. Many a times, we nearly got smacked in the face by a styling hand or flying hair, or trampled upon while all we did was to stand still. One couple, in particular, danced very forcefully.  S said she was very traumatised by them, when the hand came too near, or the whole body looed like it was gonna fall flat on her. No doubt they were good. The man led well, and the lady followed well. But S and I agreed that there was only one word to describe the look on the lady’s face – stressed.  

The highlight of the evening was – while we were waiting for a cab at the hotel, we saw that forceful couple again. The guy was shouting at the lady very loudly. I think it is something about he not liking her to dance with other guys.

‘I love you so much, you know? How would you feel if I went around hugging other girls?’

They stood there shouting at each other in public for about 15minutes, before moving away, walking as if there was a meter rule in between them. Saga over.

Wahlau eh, if you don’t want your girl to dance with other guys, then like what S said, dance at home lah. Come to Union Square is for social dancing mah. What is there to be jealous about?

Crazy.

If I ever get attached, I make sure my guy doesn’t get jealous over such petty things.

Synchronization

I think Bubbles and I hang out with each other too much. So much so that we wear the same colours some days, like uniform, our periods come almost on the same days, our hobbies are the same, even our cravings are the same.

Do you think one day, we will start to look alike? Wahahaha! I don’t mind looking like Bubbles, not too sure if she wants to look like me. Muahahahahahahha!

Some people say, some couples tend to start to look like each other after spending like years together. Is it true? That is kinda scary… I don’t wanna look like a man.

It will be nice if everything is synchronized. Think alike, do alike, likes alike. How nice if all the Beach Gals’ periods come at the same time! It will be so much easier to plan for trips and stuff.

I remember once we went to a kelong, and suay suay my period came. So I had to sulk by myself on shore while the rest of them went on the banana boat and they had so much fun lor. *sulk*

But synchronized till look alike….. no thanks lor. I think I am pretty fine with the way I look now. 😛

Choice

Life is full of choices. Don’t you think?

Bubbles chose a more patient, more commercialised instructor to teach her Salsa. Which is what she wanted. I chose a stricter, more focused on techniques instructor. Which is what I prefer (for now:p).

I chose this rather idle job, with a difficult boss who is most of the time not around. Good money, but bad for growth. I complain all the time, but it’s my choice. Some people would rather go for a more challenging job. It’s their choice.

Like how some people choose to have a hand in everything, making themselves busy like nobody’s business, no time for anything else, whereas some people choose to delegate to others. It’s their choice.

Doglover-friend-R asked us to help her make a decision about a job change. She went for a few interviews, and has a good feeling about them. She likes one particular one, but they are not making a decision till end of next week. The one that she is most confident about will need her to decide if she wants to take up their offer by early next week. So she is worried that if she accepts the one she is confident about, then the one she likes offers her, she will be very bang.

So I said ‘If the one you are confident about offers you, then throw in your letter first. At least you have something secured. Then wait and see how the other one that you like goes. If they offer you too, then turn down the one you are confident about lor.’

‘But, it’s not a nice thing to do.’

‘One day haven’t join, you can still change your mind one.’

‘But it’s not nice lor.’

Ooooooook… So I am the selfish one. Well, it’s about choices again. In my opinion, that company won’t close down because you changed your mind about joining them. I am 101% sure that they can find another replacement easily. But, if you forego the opportunity to join the company that you want to work for, you may not get another chance.

Well, I have given my opinion, and I am quite sure she didn’t quite agree with it. It’s her choice then.

You have your choices lined up ahead of you. How you choose is entirely up to you. Thing is, once you have made a choice, make the best out of it.

Easy to say, can I do it myself?

*Shrug*

Upset

with myself.

I can’t seem to do my turns nicely. Always off the line, and sometimes cannot balance myself. Yesterday teach cross body lead double turns, worse. Basic turn is, well, simple. If I can’t do that properly, I think I can quit Salsa!

Now my goal is to do my cross body lead turn in line, spot correctly, and able to balance and stable myself.

When do you think I can achieve that?

Maybe I am too harsh on myself. Yes I just want to do social dance, not to perform or compete. BUT I want to do it right and nicely. I want to look good. I don’t want people to be sniggering behind my back and say ‘She thinks she looks good but she is terrible lor!’.

I must practise more.

Marc, Kim & Matt

They are my neice and nephews. Suddenly, I miss them alot.

Marcus is the eldest. And the most shy of them all. Maybe because he is eldest, his mum placed alot of responsibilities and pressure on him. There was a period of time he was really rebellious, and made me almost wanna vomit blood. But now, I think he is better. Sometimes he tends to bully the younger ones, but generally, he takes care of them when they play together, or when they are outside. The big-brother symptoms slowly surface.

Kimberlie is the only girl. She is very sweet, and easy to coax. But, come to think of it, being easy to coax may not be a good thing when she grows up. Then, it will be called gullible! But for now, she is the cute little thing. She always wears a ‘shocked’ look on her face, but that is only for effects. After that she will laugh together with us about whatever we are laughing at. Kim likes to play big sister to Matt, the youngest one. Nowadays, when Matt cries, he will run to the sister and ask for a comforting hug. Makes everyone go ‘Awwwwww’.

Matthew is the youngest, and also the most pampered one amongst the 3 siblings. For some reason, their mum tends to give in to him more. Maybe because he is the youngest la. He is also very friendly towards everyone. He calls himself ‘boy-boy’ when you ask him who he is. Everyone loves him la. Let’s hope he will not grow up to be a spoiled brat ;p.

Arghhhhhhhh! I miss my neice and nephews!

Can I go KL now?

Cicak!

Mum woke up real early today because she had to cook something for her cell group meeting. When I woke up, she was standing at the sink, looking at something. From experience, I knew that she can’t be looking at anything good. Cockroach?

Then Mum saw me and asked ‘Can you ask him to move up? I want to wash the pot.’

I looked and saw a cicak on the side of the sink, trying desparately to climb up to escape. But probably because it’s legs were wet, it kept slipping back to the bottom of the sink.

‘I also don’t dare leh.’

I am fine with cicak around me, because I know that they won’t disturb me. If it was a blardy cockroach, I would have grabbed the can of insecticide without second thoughts and sprayed at it non stop for 5 minutes, and make sure it is dead before I move on to other things.

A while later, the cicak managed to climb up and all was at peace again.

For the benefit of those who don’t know what a cicak is, this is it:

Last night, I couldn’t sleep again. In fact, I have been having problem sleeping at night recently. I just keep turning and tossing till the wee hours of the night, before I can finally drift off to sleep.

Why, I really don’t know. I am not troubled by anything, really. I just feel…. hyper. I am tired, but my mind just refuses to sleep. How huh? I don’t want my eye bags to get any bigger than they already are. And I don’t want my dark circles to come back.

Anyone has any solution to my problem?

Isolation

Is a kind of dance exercise. Erm… is that what they call it? I mean it’s called isolation. It’s to help you move your body more flexibly, more gracefully. Yeah, I signed up for it. First lesson this Saturday.

WH encouraged me (actually not just me lah. They always encourage people to go, so that they can earn more money? Hehehe) to join the Semi-pro classes, where they teach isolation, styling, and lots of other stuff. But, I don’t think I can afford the time. It’s too much commitment. 3 hours a day is fine, but it starts too early. You know when boss is around, I can’t afford to go home early, not to mention go for class. So, I decided to just sign up for Isolation class on Saturday.

Yesterday’s class was a bit of a disaster. I couldn’t do my turns properly. Why huh? I wanted another private lesson with WH on Saturday before my Isolation class, but he said he might not be able to teach this week. Will let me know by today.

Hmmm… hopefully, after I join Isolation, I can do better lah…
