9th June 2006

Walawei…. The presentation Day… luckily, I got the easier block and I’m in the 2nd team… so got to see others do 1st, and can loosen up a bit… overall, everybody did their best even when they are giving instructions in Japanese or Korean… after that, took picture with my favourite contestant… Riyang from Japan (upper pic, 2nd from right, wearing white shirt, green pants)… she dance so Hip Hop… love her…. Another one is Sharon from Korea… she’s the one who can split easily without any frown at the face…


Later, after the training… Vijay had made a contact with his counterpart (Nike in Japan) and managed to bring all of us to Nike Employee Store… woooo… everything is 50% discount… can't take any picture inside… the store is like a big warehouse… I think half the size of Giant USJ.. Don spent the most… almost YEN40k… fortunately I managed to control myself, and I only took 2 t-shirts, 1 pants and 1 cool top for YEN10k… ok kan ok kan kan kan…

10th June 2006

Ok, time to face the truth, Nike is not paying for extra days in Japan =) its time to go back… only Mel and Steven stay until 13th June… they wanna go to Harujuku Street on Sunday… hmmm can’t wait to see their photo collections… I bet they had a great time on their mini ‘honeymoon’…. At the airport, I managed to get some ‘Japan’ souveniors…. Patience… I dun have time to distribute it to all yet…. Your time will come… may the force b wif u… hik hik…

Arrived at KLIA about 9.00pm… as expected, razak was there waiting for me…. Hmmmm, for so long, I’ve never felt that I can missed somebody that much… sigh… Sayang him so dearly… oh, I was so hungry at that time coz on the plane, no fish menu… oh, dun eat for 8 hours… juz bread and tidbits… he brought me to Nilai and we had dinner there… next day wee went to see movie, BLACK NIGHT!!! Citer hantu, besttttt….

JAPAN!!! - episode 2

7th June 2006

Training hasn’t started yet… Today suppose to be our rest day… so rest lah… nothing interesting happened… just walked around and enjoying the nice breeze in Shinjuku, Tokyo… managed to get to one of the shopping complex there… As Shinjuku is a business area, so there aren’t many things to see… and all are very damn expensive… one big apple oso YEN1500 = RM 40 (lebih kurang)… becoz of their nice cool weather, we can see many people using bicycles… even in a business suits!! So nice… the pedestrian walks also are design to cater the bicyclist….

8th June 2006

The moment of truth begins… it rains in the morning, so we all took the cab to the training studio… which is not far from the Hotel (Keoi Plaza by the way = http://www.keoiplaza.com/). When we arrived, the Japanese are already there… OMG!! So Harujuku… and their Nike lines are much better than us… hmpphh….


The Thailand team arrived a bit later… bcoz of some Visa problem… they are Don and Kuan… (Don = guy version of a Bimbo… he he…, Kuan = so lovable yet macho.. they both teach BC at FF Thailand)

The training starts at 10.00am.. with a master class… the trainer was Craig Smith… A New Yorker and also a professional singer… uuuuu… didn’t manage to get him to sing for us though…
We all survived the 1st day and had dinner with Craig that nite… get to know him, and he’s a good friend of Beyonce!!! Woo hoo….. we all make him promise that he will say Hi to Beyonce for us =)

JAPAN!!!

Konichiwa.... at last, i can sneak out and steal my work time to do this =) heh heh... again, another good thing has happened to me... hmmmm, this few months really gave me the right motivation to keep on going, professionally and personally ;-)

So many things to say... but this entry really dedicated for my Japan trip, 6th June until 10th June 2006. Why i went to Japan? Training to become a trainer for Nike Rockstar Workout - BOLLYWOOD!!! of course, fully sponsored by NIKE... thanks a lot to Melisa as she's the one who proposed me to Nike... luv ya.... and one more, thanks Vijay for the Nike 'stuffs'... some of it are still in package, unopened =)

6th June, 8.00pm

Got Razak to send me to KLIA... i'm so glad that he's so supportive of this.... well, not use to have a guy who likes you so much yet so letting you go to do stuff that you like... =) he gave me the 'puppy face' when he let me walked thru the departure hall... hu hu, me also so sedih that time... he said, "take care ye sayang... dun 4get ur inhaler, will be missing u so much and i'll be here on saturday to pick u kay... bye bye..." and bla bla bla.... he kissed my hand and off I go!!!

off on the plane, Japan Airlines.... so worry about the food... definitely non-halal... just 'tawakal' and i took only fish... it took us almost 8 hours to reach Narita Airport... When we arrived, we stayed there another hour, waiting for Spore teams (Naila = so diva like k azyei... i like..., Julian = so gentlemen, straight and sweet guy and married to a lovely lady named Amy.. also a BJ instructor in Spore)



After that went to the hotel but Vijay stayed at the airport to wait another 2 hours for Philipines team.. (Malou = so love her hair, curly, dance so well, Pee Wee = mother of two, got a sexy voice, can laugh so loud one...) and one member from Jakarta, Fetty Fatimah (of course, i'm 'fat'tier than her)

The hotel, so nice... with Lilies (white lily, blue and pink lily all over the lobby... nice!!) so expensive, one night = twin sharing = YEN18,950... do ur own math kay... my roommate is Riyo Fukunaga... she's so good to me... alwiz practice together using her laptop... toilet bowl, got button at da side one... he he... from the pic, figure it out urself what's the button are for =)
