For the 1st time eva!!!!!! when i walked down the street, (on the way for a BJ practice in DU), people were looking at my feet rather than my hair!!!! huahuahuahauaaaa.......... penangan kasut merah kilat-kilat katanyaaaa....

Red Obsession

I think everyone has their favourite colour… mine has always been white and red… previously, my wardrobe is full of glaring red stuff.. even Hari Raya, I’ll be in Gong Xi Fa Cai costume… hehe… I mean red kebaya, red kurung and red shoes (masa kecik2 la)… ehemmm… white, even though my favourite as well, having a voluptuous structure, white doesn’t really go well as a baju… huhu…. If u know what I mean… so I ended up having white shoes, bed sheets, towel.. bla bla bla…
This week.. eheh… I came across my ‘Red Obsession’ again… my version of it lah.. because I don’t really think anybody else will be devoted enough to do this except me... hehe… me got a Red shoes.. hehe Red Sport Shoes to be exact.. (I remembered somebody has a really yellow sport shoes though..) ehemmmmm….

It is tailor-made to street dance.. (macam la I nak gi menari dkt tepi2 jalan tu kan… tak kuasaaaa)… it’s very light… front part of the shoe is tough enough to seize the ‘house tap’ and yet flexible enough to do ‘samba de janeiro’… auwwwww… me loikeeee! The sole is flat, without ‘jagged edge’ of a running shoes… they even have the circle spot like previous Nike shoes for easy-turning (ya… we like to turn a lot in Bodyjam.. peninnn..) And being a compulsive Bodyjammer, me have lots of Nike dance shoes to tailor to the release of bodyjam… remember BJ45, the butterfly jump, my glow in the dark Airmax (hehe.. my souls sistas have it as well) suits the moves very well… house tap in BJ41 and BJ42, Qvida is the best for my non-cinderella feet… BJ38, ran kan kan latin fascination so this time around, I have NIKE AIR TROUPE!! (and me chose the red one.. ehemmmm… obsessed! obsessed!)

Notice the RED lamp and RED candle holder? :D


That’s the theory of the shoes… never had experience wearing the shoes doing the whole class yet… today I’m so gonna where it while practicing BJ47 with my soul sistas and Ant… care to join?

Notice the RED blanket on my couch and the RED curtain?


Notice the RED carpet? duhhhh......


Let's see, how the shoes have effect on my feet.. blisters? pain? relieve? glamour? gituuuuuu...... will blog more about it after more review and critics... ehemmmmm

Bruise

Remember on the night I went to KLIFF, i wore a selendang over the dress just to cover the bruise? well... it has been a week from the day I got it, and it still there... heyyyy.... so damn malu.... anyone knows how to hilangkan lebam biru hitam yg teramat tuh? kalo tak hilang terus pun, kurangkan sket pun takpe... and makeup won't do any good... believe me.. i've tried... huhu...

Fatwa on Yoga

Quote from The Star, Sunday 23rd November 2008.

Quote
PUTRAJAYA: The National Fatwa council has declared that the yoga practice which involves three elements of physical movements, worshipping and chanting as haram (prohibited) in Islam.

Its chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said although merely doing the physical movements of yoga minus the worshipping and chanting might not be wrong in the eyes of the religion, it should be avoided as “doing one would lead to another”."
Unquote

Kesimpulan secara simple:
1. Yoga with chanting and worshipping = Haram = Prohibited
2. Yoga without chanting and worshipping = Commercial Yoga = not Haram, but should be avoided


Sekian... Harap Maklum...

Yoga = Haram = I don't know....

Fatwa on Yoga..

Every time when it comes to religion... it deemed to become something sensitive... as a Malaysian Muslim, actually I'm grateful to have fellow friends which are not Muslims and yet we respect each other religions very well...Thanks for that... Love y'all... I want to say so many things, and I hope I can make it in one simple blog entry...

Fatwa on Yoga. Definitely, I'm not in an 'educated position' to challenge the National Fatwa Council (NFC) on this matter. Moreover, to make comments which unknowingly can bring 'harm' to my Muslim beliefs. I do Yoga, and I know lots of my Muslims friends who practice it as well. As 'jahil' as I am in this matter, I never thought that what I'm doing could be wrong as I only do it for health purposes... With this fatwa, makes me wonder, "did i do wrong?" "did i do something bad?" well... until NFC decided and explained, i can never sleep well... with this issue as well, makes me more active in 'Google-ing' :D. Found lots of reactions towards this matter.. some are very reasonable and some are very 'emotional'... i won't blame them as that's their personal opinion...

these are my personal opinions:
1. In Islam, not all things we can figure it out by making sense of it. 'Unknowingly' (again..), we might give comments which contradict to our belief. Eg: Yoga, I thought it's okay as it gives us health benefit (my logical sense). But I never thought that 'certain areas' in Yoga could be 'unIslamic'. Again, let's wait for NFC, as they are more 'educated' in this. That's a 'FACT' that i have to accept.
2. Bad reaction comes when I feel 'dissatisfaction'. This Fatwa Yoga, if NFC were to declare it 'Haram'.. then NFC owes Muslims a longggggggggggg explanation on the WHYs.... Not for debate, but to educate me why is wrong... So I'll understand... i'm waitinggggggg.......

below... is one of a 'personal opinion' of a Muslim Yoga Instructor in Malaysia, posted in The Star... I partially agrees on the council monitoring the Yoga centers... but if the Fatwa rules it 'Haram'.. then it is 'Haram'... NO COMPROMY! again, we can't rebut it in a logical way when it comes to religion... the council definitely knows better than us... if it's 'Haram', then I am obliged to repent on this matter and it goes to others as well...

Monitor yoga centres
AS a renown yoga personality in Malaysia, I feel compelled to voice my personal opinion as a Muslim yoga advocate, practitioner and instructor while praying for a positive decision by the National Fatwa Council (NFC) with regards to the issue of fatwa on yoga.
From the age of 13 to 17, I suffered chronically from asthma, requiring bi-weekly visits to the hospital for treatment. The disease subsequently inhibited me from participating in physical activities and sports.
After my introduction to yoga at the age of 18, I have not experienced a single asthma attack.
In April this year, I was diagnosed with kidney stone and was advised to undergo laser treatment, which I had to postpone due to my commitment to participate in a four-day yoga and fitness event in Shanghai organised by the biggest sports brand in the world.
While there, I was privileged to meet a Hollywood yoga celebrity who had personally trained the likes of Steffi Graf (ex-tennis champion) and Laila Ali (boxer and daughter of boxing legend Muhammad Ali).
She taught me a yoga position to eradicate the pain I was suffering at the time. Once home, I sought treatment for my condition and to my surprise, the stone had miraculously disappeared.
In the eight years of operating a yoga studio, I have received hundreds of positive comments from my students, especially the elderly on lessening joint and back pains as well as an end to period pains by the female practitioners after a few months practising yoga. Wallahualam.
There are too many advantages of yoga which is closely related to physical disciplines and breathing techniques that it will be a colossal loss to the people in this country should it be deemed haram.
The concept of yoga allows the participation of even newborns to elderly and can be practised for free. It does not necessitate one to deviate from the teachings of Islam as long as the intention is health.
I honestly believe as His servants, it is our obligation to safeguard the wellbeing of our health and with our knowledge entwined with faith (Iman), we are able to judge and differentiate the good from the wrong.
To impose a total ban on yoga is to blatantly reject the effectiveness and importance of physical exercise while shutting our eyes and deafening our ears to the findings of scientists as well as the recommendations of medical practitioners citing yoga as the most complete and effective alternative medication ever documented.
If it is the will of God to grant the NFC in coming to its decision to allow the continued practice of yoga, I would like to propose some measures to ensure the issue of deviation from Islamic teachings never resurfaces:
Firstly, as a Muslim yoga entrepreneur, I welcome the monitoring by Jakim on all yoga centres throughout the country and to identify centres conducting elements of yoga teachings that may deviate from Islamic principles and make it known to public so that Muslim yoga practitioners can avoid such centres.
Secondly, introduction of halal certification by Jakim to centres conducting yoga classes as well as the setting up of a hotline facility as an avenue for complaints against suspicious yoga centres.

My 29th Birthday....

My family sent me a bouquet of flowers and a chocolate cake to the office.... hehe... everybody is saying.. "wah... what a nice boyfriend!!" chetttttttttt....... i don't have any boyfriend.... and of course my family is muchhhhhh moreee nicer than a boyfriend okkkk...... eheh... (emo di birthday sendirik..)... with the flowers... i received two postages as well.. birthday cards from my sis, my mom and my dad... attached with it these letters:

Our beloved daughter Yoe,

Each time you celebrate your birthday, we know we miss you ever very much. Distance always keeps us apart, but sweet memories of you are always in our hearts and they forever bloom with their scented prayers to want you to be always with us. Right now we do feel your presence very much. The more we think and love you, the more we miss and miss you. With every thought of you, we pray for your every success and everything you want yourself.

Happy Birthday our BELOVED daughter and may Allah bless and guide you

My dearest Yoe,

I know Lid can write what we both feel better than I do, so I let him do it. As I need what he says on our behalf tears of mixed feelings swell in my heart. I love you and I miss you ever so much that there's no day in my life passed without me thinking of you and imagining what you are doing in KL in your house, on the way to the office, to gym and back home etc... Once again Happy Birthday from us and the rest of the family.

Yours ever loving,
Mak




*cry cry cry*

Pigeon hole

A question. How many times do you check your pigeon hole? :D

For me, errr... hmmmm.... close eyes, open eyes, close eyes, open eyes... it has been 5 months!!!!!!! hauhauhauaaaa..... yep.. i didn't check my mail from May until last nite.... u wanna know what's inside? tadaaaaaaa............



hehe... that's my mail for the whole 5 months... CC, bills, rubbish (yep.. got 1 chocolate 'casing' hehe).... no tepon ah long pun ada, from mcm2 'organization'... and all sorts of advertisement..... i want to put up pic after the massive reading/ scanning the letters but i could not get an angle without showing my name and house add... very the dangerous....

why i didn't check it? lotss of reasonsss... 2 mains are:
1. Malassssss....
2. I lost the padlock key :) or i could not find it.. (lost la tuh kan...) how i managed to open it this time? ehemmm... kata dah jadik pendekar kan... i sentap je kunci tuh... heheheh... terbukak terus (sbb dia kecik and dah karat2.. so senang terbukak kut...) it reminds me to use bigger padlock la hor next time....

how do i pay bills if i don't know the amount?
1. Electric + water = average... so i always pay RM50 per month for electric, and RM15 for water... :)
2. Astro/ Insurance = auto debit from my CC
3. MPSJ/ Streamyx = coz it's constant, MPSJ RM147 every 6 months and Streamyx RM77+RM30 (sewa line.. :P) every month...
4. Maxis mobile... = statement by email.. so Maybank2u lah.. opps... now it's HSBC-2u... eheh
5. CC payment... heheh... HSBC and Maybank can be viewed from online banking.. so i dun need the statement.. Eon bank/ MBF/ Alliance bank.. i only pay when they call to remind that it's already 2 months due... hahah (yup.. i pay the late payment charges.. and i don't mind paying.. :P walaupun i tak kaya...). Citibank CC, i kinda know roughly how much i used it coz that CC is for my business purposes only... (kadang2 tersesat la jugak brg2 nike seketul dua.. huhu)
6. dah abis i think....

talking about CC... owh.. i so fed-up with Citibank customer service officer the other day.... one thing for sure, that lady kena marah ngan i sebab kobodohan system Citibank sendiri...

whole story
last week.. got one call... asking whether i've received the new Gold Visa Card... dalam hati, kalau ada pun, confirm aku tak tau.. dah tak pernah check surat kan... hehe.. then i asked why, coz i din ask to upgrade nor ask for a different card.. then she said the Ready Cash Card will no longer be valid until end of the year.. so that one is a replacement.. fine enough la kan... so i said.. "nope.. nothing... but i have one reminder to pick up pos laju postage.. it shud be it i think" and she answered, yes it shud be coz she sent it to my house add.. do give Citibank a call back once i've picked it up... fine enuf...

i pun pegilah amik... tup tup... HSBC card rupanya... never mind lah.. if takde then i senyap lah sampai they call me back.. until i wanna write the cheque to pay the citibank CC.. i thot.. opps.. if card baru, then it wud be diff no la kan.. so, i'm not sure.. to be on the safe side, i've called the main customer service number.. press 1 for english... bla bla bla.. i went straight away to 'speak to our customer service officer'.. bla bla bla... dia kata pakai je no lama, end of the year baru tukar... then, dah alang2 tepon i tanya la pasal kad yg diorg dah hantar tapi i tak receive.. dia kata in records, dah hantar, to the office add!!! darah i dah nak naik dah... dulu kata home add, ni opis add lak... i said, if dkt opis, i din receive anything...

Citibank officer (Ms X): owh.. u shud have received it coz it was sent on 15th September
Me: What?? nope.. i didn't receive any...
Ms X: But it stated in the system the card already been sent..
Me: Ya lar.. that's your system... but my brain didn't recall anything regarding signing any paper acknowledge receipt of the CC. Can you just send another card then?
Ms X: owh.. we cannot do that Maam.. coz the promo for the Gold Card is over... moreover, the card has already been issued and accepted by you...
Me: I don't really want to know about your promo... but, if u want me to still use the CC, gimme a new one... by the way, can you fax me the acknowledgement of receipt of that CC? coz i'm sure CC will never be sent by normal post...
Ms X: No Maam.. we can't do that.. there's no way i can track that doc for you...
(she wants to say sumtin else.. but i dah naik darah...)

Me: What the F * * *... (yep.. i mmg pakai word tu yaaaaa) u 'accused' me of having that card, and yet you dare not show me the prove!! i never ask for the card at the 1st place...
Ms X: (ntah apa dah dia membebel.. sory maam.. bla bla bla... i dah tak dgr apa dia ckp... sbb dah bengang gilerrr..)
Me: Ms X, shut-up.. i don't want to hear anything... u go back and check the system or whomever person-in-charge... make sure... nobody calls me asking whether i have received the card! coz i didn't! full stop!

(then i hang-up the fon...)

Confused:.. hantar dkt home add ke ofis add...

anyway.. after busting my own pigeon hole.. rupanya ada yaaaaaa...... CC baru......... hantar pakai normal post rupanyaaaaaaaaaa....... mangkuk hayun... akan ku tepon lagi besok... kalo kena budak yg sama... abis lah budak tuh...

Summary of incidents:
1. Citibank system bodoh... buat lain, dlm system lain... dah budak tu yg kena..
2. Check lah surat-menyurat anda at least seminggu sekali.. heeeeeeeeeeeee.....

sekiannnnnnn...........

iPod's crave....

I'm not sure why iPod is so popular amongst all other MP3 players in the market.. and i don't really care as well... what i know, i'm surely do NEED a new one... My iPod is among the earliest, iPod Photo 16Gb... bought it 3 years ago... the reason i bought that, honestly... just to become a 'cool' bodyjam instructors.. eheh :D no more no less... after a long good service... it finally came to it's breaking point... it started with the battery indicator no longer indicates the 'proper' indication... eheh... even so, i can still use it in classes... but i need to carry the whole charger as well cos u never know when it will go off... even during ongoing classes... :P at that time, i never thought that i need to change it to a new generation iPod as i only use it to teach classes...

untillllll... one day.... i was about to start the class in IOI 2.50pm... it hanged! no charging... cannot reset... cannot everything.... and of course i don't have my CD with me... luckily on that day, Syah was around and I used his iPod instead... (tentiuuuuuuuuu............). What makes it more lucky... it happened during the 3 weeks period of 'can't mix tracks' period... so, it's still convenient for me to carry my CD pack around.... since that day, i'm eye-ing on the new iPod.. NANO-CHROMATIC with 8 beautiful colours...



hehe... eventhough the price is not really worth compared to the iPod classic.. still... i like the look and i don't need that 120Gb for my BJ songs... so many justification from ofismate... some of them even initiate that they don't need an iPod... waste of money... well friend... i do like to waste money once in awhile and i still think iPod is a cool stuff to have... and i considered myself cool coz i can dance (eh.. ada kaitan kerrr...)huahuahuaaaa.... so, after 3 weeks of waiting.... gaji already masuk... huhu... today! 30th Oct 2008, 8pm! i bought the lovely, cool, terrific green nano-chromatic!



huahuahuaahua....... i'm cool!!!!!!!!! after that, had dinner in Carl's Jr... uuu..sedap uolsssss............ then i saw Coffin......... huahuahua.... mesti kena *kepish* dgn Kak Ju... sorry la kak... teman 'adik' pi tgk wayang, tu je citer yg menareks... house bunny full house la plak... kena plak, dia ok tgk citer antu... so tgk lerr.... Coffin; hero = same hero as shutter, heroin = karen mok... ehemm... karen mok yaaaaaa.... sub-heroin = cikgu melets yg sewel dalam Long Khong....... uuuuuu....... sounds good hey... well... still can't beat Shutter but a recommended one for horror movie goers..

Candle again?

Is it wrong to give up your 'expected' happiness to somebody who deserves it? yes, I want to be happy... but is it worth to have it in other people's expense? Ya Allah.. help me...

I always come to this angle of my life, where I need to make decision whether it's A or B... u know... "ditelan mati bapak, diluah mati mak"

It's not a deep thought yet... but on the surface, looks like I'm going to be a candle again... give light to people even though you are 'eating' yourself up... :D hmmm... maybe I'm destined to be like this (too many incidents, resulted the same).. or it's just me... I don't think I can be happy with only promises and expectations... hope and faith, maybe... but promises and expectations? nahhhhhhhh.......... u have to give me better than that babe.... a definite is, I'm always have this high expectations of myself than I'll will do my very best to achieve it... this 'attitude' makes me have the same expectation to others... you have to cope up with that man... or else... you are not fit to become my partner!! huahuahaua....

sorry my friend... if you can't decide... let me make it easier for you... the decision is mine, let me stand back.... not all the way though.... i'm still a friend... u know where to find me.... ;-)

put all these mushy2 stuff aside... my days after Raya break really worn me out... asthma sessions... tonnes of work... BJ stuff... not forgetting the fattening open houses... but, along the way... i found myself to give time to my ex-colleagues in Sime.. KBT members in Klang... Muay thai friends + the lessons (sakit shin uols....)... last but not least... back-to-back movies with my sistas and Niens... epi birthday dear... May Allah bless you all the way... Aminnn....

I'm very much hoping to have just a session of dinner with my sistas, Ant, Jenn, Marc, Niens and Colin on my Birthday... can ah can ah... :D

Buncit!

Yup... that's the feeling I've carried over the weekend...

4 open houses on saturday.... From Klang, to Shah Alam, to Putra Heights to PJ.. ouch.. i'm physically and mentally and 'tummily' exhausted... huhu... sorry for other 3 that I've skipped... i cudn take more driving after that... even i nearly kaput at Osmy's... usually during past years i'm one the folks who will not leave the house until midnite.. but that saturday really wore me out... i left around 9.30pm.. reached home around 10.. shower.. bla bla bla... sleep.. woke up 1pm next morning.. opps.. afternoon

sunday... getting ready for IOI class... and packed a kebaya (Madukara's couture.. ahaks!)... so after class, i'm going off straight away to Ampang... Dzianti's open house. (Dzianti my new friend by the way, from the kickboxing studio.. cool girl.. ). There were five of us... reached Ampang around 6.30pm.. starvingggggggggggg.......... no lunch, no breakfast... and OMG! there were roast lamb.. char kuey teow.. rendang, curry laksa, spaghetti.. ehhemmm... wait wait... pecan pie, shepherd's pie, choco cakes and brownies... and yup... i had it all.. we all had it all... everything was perfect... thanks babe.. for being a lovely host ever!!

today... had another blast class in Summit... and kickboxing later... now sleeepyyyyyyyyyyyy........... niteeeeeeeeeeee..................... hehe

Blade

urmm.. it's not Wesley Snipes's Blade sequel... it's a normal blade... alah, sama besar ngan pisau dapur yg wat potong timun wat sandwich tuh.... everytime after 'normal' muay thai class,'seniors' will practice silat using this type of blade... i always stay back... sitting at the corner, watching them.. (i budak tak lepas tahap lagik... belum layak belajor blade nih...) eheh... tapi mlm ni cikgu besar rasa kesian kut, tgk bdk pompuan sekor nih duk wat muka seposen kat tepi tu kan... so ari ni, belajor le 'flip-flip' blade... ahaks! suka bangga gembira tak terhingga rasanya........ so lps nih menjadikan i lebih bersemangat... practice bior terror2... pastu leh belajar advance yang macam2...

pastuuuuuuuuuuuu........... leh tgk abg2 prektis ngan bermotifffff... eheemmmmmmmmmmmmm............

Launch BJ46

fuhhhh.... 1 big launch (KBT), 2 mini launches (Summit and Curve)...

done! finish! yayyy..... with asthma from main mercun yang berleluasa di musim raya ari tuh... hehe... dgn K Az pun ilang sore.... nasib baik ler ada Anthony yang perkasa tuh... hehe... He covered almost 2/3 or the classes.... thanks babe... nanti kami belanja makan k...

errr... nothing much to update... cya! heeeeeee

Left Deflector?

Hmpphh.... just now was my 4th muay thai class at Jak Othman Studio... teknik i huduh giler ok........... deflector, wave-out.. (alamak.. kena hafal sume tuh..) tumbuk suka2 hati... kaki kemana, tangan kemana, stance je in place... in place kerrrr?? huhu...


Kru (this what we called our master, Jak Othman) with his daughter (Putri)..

takpe takpe... usaha tangga kejayaan... i really like doing this.. seriously.. it reminds me why i took Taekwondo before... well..... longggggggggggg wayyyyyyyyy beforeeeeeeeeeee....... hopefully, i'll be able to defense myself if needed (taj tau le bila nak terror tu kan....) i believe woman nowadays has to know how to protect themselves without depending so much to man.... not saying that we don't need them but they are not always by our side to be a protector right.... I strongly recommend girls/ women to take some sort of self-defense class for a preventive measure... eheh... not to make us a fighter or anything (kalo nak jadik pendekar ke wa takde masalah) it's just to 'activate' our instinct... making our reflex more smooth... and at the same time, lose some weights... eheh... good exercise oso... as u know, i am a gym freak.... so it's time to stay away from gym a bit and try different form of exercise...

maybe after this vocal class and hiphop class?? huahuahuahuaaaaaa.......... anybody wif me?

K!CK 2008

Dear friends...

If you want to have a peek on my new hobby.. please feel free to visit Sunway Pyramid from 4pm today (29th August) until 4pm tomorrow (30th August)..


It's a kickboxing record breaking activities @ charity event...8 female kickboxers from Jak Othman Kickboxing Studio will be challenging the Malaysia Book of Records to execute a targeted 57,800 kicks in 24 hours, which is equivalent to about 40 kicks per minute. And they are my new friends... :D

The interesting event, dubbed K!ck! 08, will take place at 3pm at the Blue Atrium of Sunway Pyramid (in front of the entrance of Sunway Lagoon) and local celebrities like Xandra Ooi will make special appearances to charge up the event.

Formerly known as Jak Othman Kickboxing Challenge, the event was first introduced in 2004 with the main aim of educating the public, especially the youth and womenfolk, on the importance of safety, self-awareness and self-defence while maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

Aside from breaking its own record, the studio is aiming to raise RM25,000 for the Breast Cancer Welfare Association. This effort will also, hopefully, get the message across to the public to learn about early cancer detection. We will place a donation box at the venue during the event, and a guidebook, Kick Start Basic Safety Awareness and Defence Guide, will also be on sale. :D

The guidebook is mainly about how to apply kickboxing to protect oneself in everyday life. In previous years, they were some people challenging that they could do some kicks as well. This year, these people are welcome to do the same with some donation.
RM10 per punch! hehe... for charity aaaa....

There will also be free workshops for the public to learn some simple basics of kickboxing. The organiser welcomes sponsors and donations. Cheques can be made payable to the Breast Cancer Welfare Association and sent to Mypartners Communi-cations, 19-2, Jalan USJ 10/1E, UEP Subang Jaya, 47620 Selangor. All donations are tax-exempt.

When I wrote this, they all start kicking approximately 4 mins ago... Go Go Go Girllll!!!!! See you later.....

Line Dance Funk

The Lady called me Bodyjam Betrayer.... huhu....

After my 7.30pm BJ in KBT, the front desk called me... he said Eric requested me to do another half an hour BJ as Bernard wasn't feeling well.... Bernard did came to KBT, unfortunately he vomitted right after he came.. he looked so pale... So, i'm not that jahat to not to help him and Eric...

okayyyy...... Bernard came for a while, and apologized to members... and left me on the stage... feeling blank.... another BJ? errr... i don't think so... 2/3 or the crowd were in BJ class before and so boring if i were to do another round... moreover, i'm so tired to do another BJ horrr... okayyy... Alvin, Bernard's regular... came up to me and asked me what kind of songs that i have on my iPod... with smile, i answered.. "woops.. only BJ songs.. " he said let's use Pitbull song and the new one, The Anthem... Bernard used that songs before... and i went.. "oookayyy... we got the songs.. what i'm supposed to do then? shimmy thru out the song ah" hehehe....

so, what happened... Alvin showed me the moves and i taught it on the stage... and yup, it's all ad-hoc basis... :D got one more member (thanks dear...) to lead at the back so that when the members could not see me, at least they have somebody to follow.... well... there went the one-hour Bernard Line Dance Funk Leonora's version.... wakakaakkkkkk..... we did BJ warmup and groove down.... 3 choreography with 3 songs.. yeaaaaa..... but... sorry la ya... Line Dance from a Jammer, ke laut la sikittt... huahauhauaaa....

and yes.. the Lady called me Bodyjam Betrayer.... sedeyyy....

overdue.. a bit only...

eheh... so many things had happened.. so lazy to write so many things... :D

Sat Aug 2nd..
- 1100 facial appointment
- 1800 off to buy durians for Syah's opeh house
- 1900 arrived at Syah's place... cool white environment... having great time with My Kakaks.. Usop and the gang.. Amir, Fina and the gang as well... played UNO with an enormous laugh... hehe... as expected, after the durian fest.. me've fallen asleep... errkk.. nearly under the couch... open my eyes.. half of the crowd gone.. ahaks!
- went back home around 1am i think... sleep like a log until the next morning...

Sunday Aug 3rd
- Off to Kerteh with Azma (my little sis at the office..)after lunch..
- Reached Awana Kijal before dark.... so hot.. so tired...

Monday Aug 4th
- Early meeting with Ranhill/ Carigali... really rushing as I wanna reached home before 5pm :D
- Again.. as expected.. you can't really 'twist' the meeting and make it short isn't it... managed to return back to hotel at 1.30pm!! took a quick shower... checked out and off we go!!
- huhu.... reached Gombak around 4.30pm.. yup.. you can imagine how the jam looks like at that hour... we managed to get home at 6.30pm... OMG.. i suppose to be in Cheras by 7pm.. why Cheras? eheh... Hiphop/ Street Jazz workshop with Yannus and Manuela.. i took off from USJ at 6.35pm... and guess what.. reached Leisure Mall by 7.05pm... eheh.. Jimmy was waiting for me in his car... and we went to the dance studio... had a great time learning from experts like Manuela and Yannus.. if i have any other chance.. i'll sure do it again..
- so hungry after that yet so tired...
- came back home... deep shower... did laundry.. bla bla bla... slept at 1am.. huhu...

Tuesday + Wednesday = KAPUT!!!

yuh-huh.... my classic symptoms... any lack of sleep more than 2 days in a row... KAPUT!!! no voice... i had my 1st migrain... i think.. severe pain and it never goes away... straining for hours... huhu... i never had migrain before... had Fifi to do my KBT class.. thanks dear.. got a bit strength to do Wed replacement class at Curve though... after that, KAPUT!!!

Thursday was spinning day....

Friday felt a bit better... but i've no strength to do classes.. saving my energy for sunday onwards classes... from a PT session on friday, i went to see 'Susuk'... eheh... Malay kinda horror movie... Good story line.. me like it actually... just leave the fact that they make the main actress (Diana Rafar) like an idiot... there's no way a girl can be that naive about 'Susuk'... boo-hoo... but normal for Malay movies... majority of Malay directors always overlooked tiny bits of details which made the movie sooooooo stupidddddd....... only Ida Nerina and Adlin gave a good performance in that movie... even a glimpse of Yasmin Ahmad as a nurse has more impact than others...

saturday... spent my whole evening/ night time with my long time no see friend, Nor Azah Aziz... she's flying to Melbourne after Raya for her PhD... wish her the best of luck! we've paid a visit to a friend's house in Cheras.. then, went to Mines after that... karaoke session.. eheh.. and shopping session... i bought 2 dresses.. yup, it's for Melisa's wedding this coming September.. i need to buy new one as i only have 2 or 3 dresses which is black, dark brown... so not suitabe for wedding... the one that i bought is one very colourful (pelangi sangattttt).. and one shocking pink! ahah... me kinda open my heart a bit to pink.. hehe.. Niens will laugh out loud when she read this.. :D

Sunday... kinda rest day... other than doing my IOI class.. my day spent with watching Olympic games...

hmmm.. talking about Olympic...
1. The opening ceremony........ gempakkkkkk gilerrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
2. Watched my all time favourite.. women volleyball... the no 1 world 2007 rank, Russia.. lost to Italy with a very good fight... huh... the same girl, Gamova.. the 7 footer girl still ini the team.. remembered her at the Athens...
3. Gymnastics qualifying round... China team is very strong... they ranked one beating the favourite team USA.

In Yahoo news today.. USA coach kinda bengang of China team.. he accused the girls are not more than 14 yrs of age... which the rules stated they have to be 16 and above (i'm not really familiar with gymnast rules though..)... honestly speaking, the girls do look very young... my personal opinion... regardless of the age... if you are good... then you are good... US team will only make a fuss if the China won... if they didn't, then there will not be any problem isn't it.. huhu...

Summary = one whole week.. no PT... tonite.. my muscle will be screaming again...

p/s: OMG... the resume for BJ presenter not yet done... huwaaa..........

Marc already made plans for my workout... more circuit training... haizzzz.....

Peta'ka

Hey ya... Managed to watched Peta'ka, a dance theatre performed by DBKL cultural team on Friday and last night :D yes.. i went to Panggung Bandaraya twice! Just a reason to meet my Sifu in dance... opss.. to see our (ju, azyei and me) Sifu... En Jasni Abd Hamid. He developed my skills.. he unleashed the dance passion in me and it stays there...... hehe.... as we have the same sifu, that's why you will notice we dance 'quite' the same.. in other words the technique is similar... if you get to know us more, then you'll notice that Azyei will be more 'Jazzy', Juwita will be more 'HipHoppy' and me... errmm ummm.... more bubbly?? :D :D

Peta'ka is about the vengance of Peta and Taka... their mother got killed by the villagers.. bla bla bla... and when they grow older and stronger they took their revenge.. bla bla bla... Peta kidnapped the heroin.. bla bla bla... the Hero, Jaka, is supposed to save her, but failed.. Taka got killed in the process and so does the heroine... bla bla bla.. eheh.. i'm not good at telling story :D :D :D overall.. i enjoyed the performance.. i give 3 out of 5 stars... Peta i would say got the gold medal for best performer :D Well done, Taufik (i think so lahhh...)

movies.... wanted to watch Journey to the Center of the Earth but we ended up with Sex & The City: The Movie.... hehe... enjoyed it as well... more to enjoying the company to the movie rather than the movie itself.. huhu... motiffffff...... aiming for The Mummy end of the week.. heheh....

would like to take this opportunity to Congrats my fellow beloved Bodypump instructors, Wes Carter and Crystal Tan for their engagement :D :D :D Hoping for the best for both of you... embrace and take care of each other okay... ;-)

p/s: after i got the news, i dreamt of Philip and Sulin getting engage as well... huahauhauhauaa...... :D

Happy...

From the week of horror to a week of light and hope....

There's nothing much that happened... nothing extra-ordinary.... I just felt that I've found that tiny little thing that feeds my soul... (or it was always there but it took me such a long time to realize it.. hehe...) with a good nice rest, my body and mind worked at their best capacity last week.. :D :D :D

Office work flows in a very systematic ways... i've found my 'rhythm' that fits the new job description.. gituuuuu.... (new kah?? 4 months can consider new la hor...) had time to plan Fitness First's Bodyjam team 'progression'... hmmm... instructors... assessment akan berlaku secara berleluasa tidak lama lagi.. huarghhhhh.........

personally, had a 'princess ball' on saturday together with Kak Ju and Kak Azyei... abg pen, usop, alif, engku, abg jaley included... hairul, saiful and hairul's fren.... not forgetting... the bday Princess, Rijal Salim Davidson... :D and on Friday night... celebrated Cass's birthday at Euphoria... yes... i went to Euphoria... :D :D :D met Karyn and Hazel there... not bad for a new club... as all my close friends know, i'm not a clubbing person but i do go dancing my heart out once in a while especially when there is an occasion to celebrate... :) I would say Euphoria has a cool place setup... superb sound system... has two sections... one side plays Trans music.. one side plays R&B music... yeaahhh.. R&B is more my style... we (Marc and I) reached there around 10.45pm... we headed to the R&B section and started dancing... dah tak nampak org lain dahh aihh.... had a peak at the time, already 11.30pm... errrr guess what... takde pun org lain menari gaksss... fineeeeee............. so we went to Trans instead... and errrr.... the huge dance floor was not packed.... soooooooooo boringggggggggggg................ hoh.... come on.. it's nearly 12, yet the club was not full house yet... kinda frustrated in that way..... well, at least we got to see Sean (IOI staff) dance his heart out... hahah... yes Sean.. you can dance :)

Cass is very pretty that night... yes dear.... you are pretty... ;-)

Maybe my next visit, i'll get all my adeks-adeks and kakaks-kakaks, go together2 and let us rule the dance floor... huahauhauhaua.......

p/s: my kakaks ditched me and they watched Dark Knight without me.... huwaaaaaaaaa....... pembalasan dendam katanya coz i ditched them for Wanted.. huhu... i deserved that la hor....

Normal Tuesday?

June has been a very exhausted yet fulfilling month for me.... July didn't seem to bring any rest either... but something kinda change today... yes... TODAY!! i felt 'normal'... i've finally managed to catch up my usual routine.....

it started from Monday night.. summit 7.40pm class actually... Had Karynn for her 1st team teach... :) Bravo girl.. I'm kinda impressed with your 1st try... You'll succeed in this you know... gotta believe in it... and had Ling Gan for her 1st shadow... off to Juwita.. ;-) after class, usual PT session.... yes.... i wanna look good for Krabi :D :D :D had a blast time before and after session... ehemmmmm....

beeeeeecausssssssseeeeeeeee of that.... me had a good sleep.... woke up 6.45am this morning.... pack gym stuff... iron work clothes... and off to work.. reached office at about 8.25am.....

owh... got a sms reminder to take breakfast... hehe.. nasik lemak is so no-no... so i ended up with Big Breakfast McD... hahahahahh...... scrambled eggs + bread + coffee.... then work, work, work.... had nasi goreng cili api for lunch :D.... yup, i need a good lunch or else i won't have enough energy for the evening class.... i'm not a fan of energy bar + protein drink and sewaktu dengannya... it's not real food.. so syntetic.. :P

4.00pm.. kinda sneaked out from office... went to taipan to settle few bank payments... came back to office by 4.45pm... continue working and making sure I'll finish everything by 5.30pm..

5.45pm... drove to KBT class... this 7.25pm always feel like 2.45pm Curve... never fails to have full-packed class... Bravo to KBT members... yeaaa.. they looooooveeeeeeee Bodyjam so much... Did mix tracks today... Ragga warmup and Chris Brown hip-hop... and maintain the rest from BJ45... yeaaa... it still rocks man!!! After class, i did feel 'uneasiness' on both my legs actually... need some reflexosolgy hor... hahaha.... had a bit chit chat with members then rushed home... in the hope to catch Private Practice!! yup yup... enjoyed it... continue with Desperate Housewives and now Las Vegas... owh... besides being a horror movie freak.. i'm also a tele-movie freak... u name it... i watch almost everything... even with work + gym + personal.. i'll find my time to catch up :D again.. freak huh....

While watching tv... as my usual habits... i can't sit still.. :D unless I have somebody to teman me la hor... eheemmmmm..... so in between commercials of the tele-movie... i kinda sweep the flor, did the laundry, lipat baju, watered the plants, ate scrambled eggs + coffee (again???) and fed the fish!! weeehoooooooo...... there it goes... my normal routine... settled at work place... enjoyed teaching BJ... and came home to enjoy my cute apartment and 'appreciate' isi-isinya... targetting to sleep at 12... and hopefully tomorrow I'll experience the same feeling.... owhhhh... niceeeeeeeee...........

let's see how tomorrow goes horr...

A week of 'horror'?

This is where my work/ gym/ personal needs my attention the most..... I could not determined which one is the priority..... everything is important.....

I struggled to put everything together.... my patience was at the peak.... i nearly throw the 'nuclear bomb' to everybody.... thank God I'm 29 yrs old now... huahauhauha... guess the age does give you the 'appropriate wisdom' to 'conquer' your 'evil'.... :D I can still recall if it was 10 yrs ago, I would not hesitate to scream at anyone just because I disagree with their opinion/ thoughts/ suggestions.... well it didn't do me any good is it? I apologize to all my friends which I hurt then... Unknowingly, I made them feel very 'small'... again.. so sorry....

July 2008.... I prefer the current Leonora.... less 'screaming', less 'violent' and definitely wiser.... and looking at a few collegues/ team mates/ friends doing something that reflects my old 'style' makes me wanna cry.... I don't think I have the rights to say to them what is wrong and what is right.... But deep inside I know that they are destroying their innerself... eventhough some of them, you can consider as 'not my friend', a small portion in my heart do care for them.. yes they hurt me, yes they do badmouthing me and yes they hate me.... but i don't hate them... i pity them... they are not 16 or 17 yrs old anymore... they are so more than my age and yet their action shows that they have a brain of a spoilt brat juvenile delinquent.... again.. pity.... hopefully, God opens their heart to see that they are destroying themselves.... and they are very good at that, trust me, no doubt! :D

The week also opened my mind and heart to a different perspective of the world.... okay.. for some of you who didn't know me, let me summarize a bit about myself and then you'll understand what I'm trying to say...

I grew up in Kelantan in a 'full family'.. meaning... i have my parents, a sister, a brother, grandparents, uncles/aunties and lots of cousins.... my mum was a teacher.. a great one! :D my dad is very good in this rock garden/ mural kinda of thing... my bro and sis followed my mom's footsteps and me ended up with 'bodyjam teacher'.. ok la tu kan.. kena sipi sipi je.. primary and secondary school in Kelantan... move to KL during Uni time and now me earn my living in KL... we are not rich.... but never in my life i woke up with a hungry stomach... cukup makan, cukup pakai.. every Hari Raya I'll get new clothes... I'll get at least a greeting card for every accomplishment that I've got... my sis/ bro and I are 'brainwashed' by our parents that education/ ilmu is everything... we need to 'earn' our living... 'earn' money to live but don't let money leads your life... being rich it's not necessary in bringing happiness in life... so we were brought up with cukup-cukup sahaja nothing more, nothing less... my parents worked very hard to make sure that their children have a 'normal' life... never in my life i feel that i'm alone.... even in my deepest misery, my family (my two soul sistas included) are always there for me.... so if people said i'm lucky... yes, I have to agree with them.. Yes, I am lucky!!! I'm so grateful for that....

So in between my 18 yrs old until now... God always 'introduces' me with 'troubled' people... I have/ had friend/s who became 'something' which it will never cross my mind to do the same thing.... I used to hate her/him/them for that..... meaning their action.. I never think of why they chose that path and why they became like that.... but now I can make sense out of it.... They are not me! They didn't have the same background as me... they didn't grow up as I do... they are not blessed with family that I have.... so, I can't compare myself to them... I can't judge them for that....

in conclusion, i'll never agree with what they do but now i do understand why they became like that.... for those outside which is 'old' enough to think... do think wisely.... before you end up destroying your own life... especially for you guys who already has children of your own... ;-) don't give them wealth... give them education... dunia dan akhirat.. insyaAllah...
