Great Weekend

Had a very tiring BUT enjoyable weekend...

2 days of 'Dance Competition'... haha... now broke dy...
Sat nite's competition was not that great if compared to today's competition. Today's competition had more pro and there were participants from Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.. And there are more lengchai and lengloi to see also...all dress up so sexy..

Too bad no pix and video allowed, unless you buy the special ticket for permission. I did take some video on Sat night though coz that one not so formal and strict as it was held at a uni. Will try to upload it in 'Multiply' when free. hehe...

My teacher was really good... He could dance very well BUT too bad his partner is still a beginner so he can't go far. I think the partner is a real good potential... she's only 13 but look 20 and he just partner-ed her for about 2 months.

Well, hope he did get a place in the top 3 positions... didn't manage to watch the finals at night as the ticket pricing was much more expensive. = ))

Now now... back to reality at work... MON tomorrow... = (( Can't wait till the next weekend... hahah... it's time to hit back to the GYM!!

TGIF

Sooo HAPPY it's Friday!!! Back to weekends.. hehehe... After all the hard work, time to relax. No GYM and no JAP class this weekend... Gonna go for 'Dance Competition'. BUT of course, not me competing... hahaha.. Going to one on Sat - Dancesport and another on Sun. The Sun one is to watch my teacher competing and go there to support him. Never been to a live dance competition before, hope it's FUN. Since no gym... maybe will go for a morning run with hommie tomorrow to train for my upcoming 10km run in July. Knees healing well and feeling better bit.. maybe coz after the dose of 'Glucosamine'.

Drowning@Work

Woke up late this morning and reach Zumba class late for almost 10 mins... but lucky... instructor was even later than me. He was 15 mins late. Haha...

Was drowning at work even before going to swim in the evening... Left office late today, so only manage to swim for about 30 mins or so... no shiok... Feel like drowning myself in the pool today... Drown away all the stress... Hahaha...

** Quote of the Day ***

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."

-- Viktor Frankl --

Time fully utilized...

I just realized that I haven't been doing any movie marathon lately.... Had been fully utilizing all my time doing a lot of workout throughout the week... from pumping... swimming... running... dancing... aerobics... and my jap study. Had been slacking a bit on masses... need to get back on track... n stop procrastinating... should spare some time for other things...

How TRUE is it?

My friend send me this link on how you can determine a 'GAY'...
I wonder how true it is.... hahaha... Check it out!

KungFu Panda

Had my de-stressed session with my colleague today. We went to watch "KUNGFU PANDA". It was really good.... DAMN Funny... laugh from beginning all the way till the end... The storyline is quite common but overall the PANDA is real funny...

Go check it out yourself... You can watch the TRAILER.

So very glad it's Weekend again.... = ))

Shayne Ward

I find this singer really amusing..."SHAYNE WARD" (** gotta know bout his songs when teacher used his songs for us to dance)

He's good looking, sexy and most importantly... have good voice and sings well... = )

Check it out yourself! These are some of his songs... I like the most is "Breathless" - his latest album. This guy is very young, born in 1984.

1. Breathless

2. Stand By Me

3. No Promises

4. That's My Goal

5. If That's OK with you

6. Someone to Love

7. Until You

8. Cry Me A River (Live@X-Factor)

9. Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Live@X-Factor)

10. No U Hang Up

** Here's the lyrics for "Breathless"... very beautiful song...

If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do

And if we had babies they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are

Chorus
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless

And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I’m thankful for the life we’ve made
And if we had babies they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don’t even know how very special you are

You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me

You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You’re like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You’re something special
I only hope that I’ll one day deserve what you’ve given me

But all I can do is try
Every day of my life
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless

I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless
You leave me breathless

You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless
Breathless

Latin Jazz

Today I attended the 1st lesson of Latin Jazz.

It's organized by my company for free and I signed up for it together with a couple of my colleagues BUT I think 'kenak tipu' dy... Nothing's for 'FREE'... My colleague told me maybe after giving you lessons for free, they expect you to dance during the 100th birthday anniversary event... 'OMG'... this is crazy... now regret... regret...

Actually, had no idea what is Latin Jazz all about... Latin ballroom dancing ya.. but not Jazz... but it was quite a fun class today... the instructor was good and she's damn funny... dun care la... just have fun 1st and think about it later...

She taught us bit of Mambo and Salsa moves today... and some body coordination...

LIBRA - The Harmonizer - Good or Bad?!?

Just read the horoscope that my friend send to me... I love horoscopes... it's so true sometimes or maybe just coincidence... 'some-times' but not all the times of course... haha...

Nice to everyone they meet. -> and end up getting bullied sometimes?
Can't make up their mind. -> very true, undecisive - no good.. must change bad habit.
Have own unique appeal. -> haha... what type of appeal?
Creative, energetic, and very social. -> 1st 2 can accept, 2nd - not so true...bit anti-social...
Hates to be alone. -> dun really hate to be alone... sometimes there's need to be alone...
Peaceful, generous. -> quite true... of course when mad, cannot be at peace...
Very loving and beautiful. -> loving maybe but beautiful? in d eyes of beholder? keke...
Flirtatious. -> errrr...
Give in too easily. -> this is quite true... haha
Procrastinators. -> this one even more true...
Very gullible. -> and end up getting cheated... but nowadays not so gullible after all d' experience... but sometimes can end up being pretty defensive...

Back to Normal

Feeling better today... maybe after a de-stressing dance session....Life Goes On...

Well, I guess it ain't that BAD after all... There's things that are far worst happening out there... I should be thankful that I'm living quite a good life here...

My colleague was very nice... She suggested to go out on Fri night to do some activities together to de-stress ourselves to re-charge for the next week...

Some of the activities in the list...
- Movies - not many nice ones avail...
- Bowling - good idea, since long time no bowl...
- Karaoke - rusty dy...
- Good Happy Meal - good idea, Jap food would be good...
- Kick-Boxing - nah.. unless kick n box d ppl u dislike... haha...
- Retail-Therapy - out of list...after the notebook purchase...
- Steamboat - no-no... so hot... later create more steam within...

Most probably would just go for a good meal together... don't mind the bowling though... = ))
Or maybe we could go for a drinking session and get drunk...keke...

Today's Status

I was just having so much FUN in gym today doing 'ZUMBA'... but the rest of the day was history... This pix best describe me today... supposed to go for my swim after work but skipped it coz some stuff came up. Guess it's better not to do, else may end up drowned. hahaha...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gawcyODiKls

Well, hope will have a better day tomorrow.... just sleep and have a sweet dream...

Have you ever wonder....

1. Why some people are just so 'Inconsiderate'?
2. Why some people just keep barking at the wrong tree?
3. Why some people keep doing certain things when they know it is not right?
4. Why some people can just ignore the things that they are suppose to work on?
5. Why some things just don't go the way you want it to be?
6. Why some things just go one way when it would only work if it goes both way?
7. Why some things just keep coming your way non-stop?
8. Why some peole just can't talk less and do more?
9. Why sometimes we think one thing but do another instead?
10. Why sometimes we just don't get to do things the way we want to?
.......................

Why... Why... Why....

I guessed I better just STOP wondering too much and get on with LIFE... coz nothing's gonna change here and there's no answer here... I'm just crapping... Having a BAD day today....

GREEN MUSCULAR SUPER-HERO

I just realized that "Incredible Hulk" movie is as old as I am.

Actually, I'm no big fan ofthis green guy... I googled a bit on it coz one of my buddy LOVE this green hulk so much... I wonder whether because he's GREEN (her fav color) OR because he's muscular... HULK is her super hero, other than Mr.'166'. Hahaha...

Recently, there's one remake of the show on the 'INCREDIBLE HULK'. I might go watch to accompany my buddy or maybe I should get Mr. '166' to accompany her. = ))

Hmmm... there's ONE think 'bout the green guy that I don't understand...

"WHY everytime, he turn into 'THE HULK', his shirt tears into pieces but his pants still nicely intact?!?!" He using super-stretchable pants?!?

Icy Snow Notebook

This is how my new 'Icy-Snow' notebook look like... too new to know how good it is...

MY NEW ICY-SNOW NOTEBOOK

So HAPPY yet a bit heart-ache today...

I got myself a 'NOTEBOOK' after so long... It took me quite some time to decide which one to buy. I like the design and the specs is quite good. I got myself the latest 'TOSHIBA PORTEGE'.

Now, wallet bleeding. Haha.. Hope it's the right choice and I would bond nicely with it for long...

Today's Horoscope

Haven't been following the horoscope for a long time...

I like today's reading... which I think it's quite TRUE not only to me but Everyone... Going how far up the ladder is something but not everything... provided you're HAPPY in LIFE...

* Balance is important in every aspect of life -- start paying more attention to fun.

Your ambition has been useful to you, but your whole life's happiness does not rely on what you do with your career. Balance is important in every aspect of your life and you need to start paying more attention to fun and friendships. It's time for you to step off of the career ladder right now. Stop working so hard to move yourself upward -- you've gone far enough for now. Today, just let the day carry you along -- you will find that you like where you end up!

Candid Shots

Today I received SMS from Saucony stating that there's some pictures uploaded on last Sun's Passion Run. So, I went in to check.... OMG!! They took horrible candid pictures... I manage to find the whole gang's pictures except for one... I think her picture fell into the 'Unidentified' category where they cannot really see her BIB number. I think my friend, 'MIAW-MIAW''s pix is the BEST, where she seems to be posing for the camera with big wide smile. (the 2 far right pictures in the middle row) They are going to send us the certificate with our picture on it. If we want the rest of the pictures, we will need to purchase them. So ugly... I wonder who would buy. Hahaha.. Anyway, at least got the little thumbnails of it.

* Troll, don't kill me for putting up your pix ya... at least I told you bout it... kekeke... nobody knows you anyway... hahaha.. = p who knows... maybe 166 browse till this page.. *wink-wink

Saucony Passion Run Results 2008

Today, my friend send me a link to see the RESULTS.

I'm surprised that the timing I had was less that what I timed myself... so it was 2 hours and 53 seconds. Well, I am HAPPY for myself. It made me feel stronger in both body and mind.

Let's see...

5km - 40 mins ++
7km - 1 hour ++
10km - 1.5 hour ++

* hmmm... how about 10km in 1 hour time? possible?!? hahaha..

I would need to train for my next 10KM SHAPE Run on 20 July 2008. Hopefully I can have a better timing. Really need to heal my painful knee first. kekeke...

My friend asked if I wanna join the half-marathon in Aug -> 21km. I quickly shake my head... hahaha... then back in office, my colleague asked if I'm interested in full marathon -> 42km in Dec. * fainted.... (enough of torturing of my legs 2 times in 2008 =p )

Thank GOD I finish d' race

Thank GOD I finish the race today... after all the unexpected events.

Could not sleep all night though tried to sleep by 10pm. Not sure coz of not used to the bed or just not used to sleeping early. Slept over at a friend's house so that can reach the racing venue on time as her place is nearer to East Coast.

Planned to wake up but end up waking up later... By the time finish eating breakfast, missed the bus and reached the racing venue late. The race for our category supposed to start at 7:15 but we started running at 7:30 with another group. Hahaha.. lucky still make it in time.

But really thank GOD coz..
- weather was REALLY GOOD... no SUN, cloudy but luckily not raining...
- no STiCTH this time...
- stamina was quite OK today...
- bad knees did hold on till towards the last 5km...
- able to finish the race safe and sound... = )

I think I took about 2 hours ++ for the 15km... Will only know the actual timing when they sent us the details. Not the top 10 winners so no announce. Kekeke...

I was so HAPPY to see the finish line banner...


After the run, everyone took a group photo. My friend and her sister took about 1 hour 50 mins to complete the 15km. Her sister was not feeling rather well, threw up this morning... but I think she still very 'gung-ho'... sick but still can run so fast....

I did it! Perserverance can really make one do the impossible.

BUT... after the race....

- whole body aching... need yoko-yoko? haha..

- knees creaking - think i better go take glucosamine...

- no GYM class tomorrow... miss my classes for the whole week dy... can't wait to go back...

Tomorrow's d' Run Day

Tomorrow's the Big Run Day.

Hope that...
- tomorrow's weather is GOOD.
- my condition would be at Tip-Top.
- my bad knees dun give way.
- stitches stay away.
- stamina would last all d'way.

And most importantly, MUST FINISH the run. GAM-BA-TE!!! = ))

Passion Run Racing Kit

I collected my running kit last week together with my friend's pack. The running kit consist of a dri-fit singlet, runner's number tag, pins, schedule and a championchip.


It's the first time I find out about this Champion Chip thingy... kinda interesting... ChampionChip is actually a miniature transponder, which is waterproof glass capsule marked with a unique identification number. It contains a silicon chip and an energizing coil that can be used under all weather conditions. It would be activated when it enters the magnetic field. It is being used to record the timing of each runner.

Below is the running kit. The rest of the goody bag only can be collected after finishing the run. I hate the singlet coz of the color... Gosh, hope I can finish the 15km run. Hahaha...

Countdown... 3 more days to go including today... getting nervous.. hahah.. pray for me... = ))

REST WEEK

This whole week is a "REST" week for me and my friend...

Conserving energy for this SUN's run and must get enough zZZzzz....

My leg still pain a little from last Sun's 10km run + walk... after that went shopping with another friend, think altogether should have walked more than 20km... legs overworked...haha..

So, this week no morning GYM, no swim, no classes, no treadmills, no runs, no dances... except for work, eat and sleep...

One of friend is coming all the way down to Lion City from KL this Sat to run on Sun and back on that evening... hahaha... she very gung-ho... with her Super CAT power... After this run, she going to climb Mt KK on the 12th...

After run, can't wait to get back to GYM classes... = ))
