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...

some point in your life

have you ever come to a point in your life where everything was absolutely great and all of as sudden everything seems to collapse right before your eyes?

have you ever get a promise from a friend and by the end of everything the promises were lies?

have you ever tried to explain and works things out and ending up noticing that you are the only one made the effort?

Ya Allah... please guide me.... i'm so helpless now....

cruel?

People is normally cruel? or just plain..... hmmmm.... selfish????

tired...

heya readers.....

has a massive tuesday...... so tireddddddddd......... from terrible jam, horrendous travel shah alam-usj-kl-usj-shah alam, sinful lunch and dinner, unsolved office burdens and a lot of bj trainees S.O.S calls...... sorry babe... very busy and hectic day... hopefully i'll recover tomorrow... going to sleep now... nite nite...

sleepy,
leo

Should i?

Woke up really late for a working day... hoh.... arrived at office on 8.55am!!! :P

hate it! hate it! *pok pok* bak kata Niens... For a wonderful weekend, my monday didn't start really well... hoh... and i'm not sure whether it's from the waking up late or some news which i found it a bit disturbing... where i don't think i should be disturbed at all... hmmm... k ju? k azie? niens? advise plsssss.......

your dear friend was drunk over the weekend... and drove the car in absolutely drunk state... i'm very sad and pissed off!!! should i?!?!? maybe for some people drink and drive after a hectic dance/ clubbing/ happy/ sexy session is okay.... but no hell for me........... IT IS SO SELFISH!! SO CHILDISH!! AND ABSOLUTELY STUPID!! like hellllllloooooooooooo.............. you might have killed somebody on your way back! and at this stage i don't think you care about yourself anymore coz if you did, you won't be drinking and drive... mayyyyybeeee..... pls have a heart to slightly think, that there is people out there, which is ME... duh-huh.... who really damn cares about you..... to have not think about that hurts me deeply.... i know you drink for the wrong reason which made it worse!! and guess what... your problem settled?? congratulations... you've crushed my soul lah babe... (wah... over tak??)

you know i always respect you for your principle, for your stand, for your views...
1. what do want to prove by getting drunk?!?!
2. were you proud of what you did??
3. you're so desperate want to be cool izittt?? you're not cool enough meh??
4. you always hate a lady smoker and said in ridicule, "It's so not cool!" and yet you got yourself drunk!!! boooo-hoooooo!!!!!! shame on you... :P

okay.... breatheeeeeeeeee.......... by having said that (biasalah.. perempuan emosi pepagi senin ni kan..), i've concluded... i still love you ;-)...... your act was certainly not forgiven, but knowing that you know it's a wrong thing and you promise you'll never do that again... shows that you are a man that i know all this time... you're accountable of what you do... you take the responsibility.. and of course, you're my man!!!! (minus the drinking part)

Friend/s who didn't drive you back that night... shame on them!!! :P :P :P

Massage At last!!!

weehoooooo!!!! woke up at 10am this morning.... so niceeeeeeeeeeee......... the 1st thing came into my mind.. by hook or by crook, me want to go full body massage....... yeszaaaaaa...... texted the girls... but Azie and Niens want to spend time at home only... Juwita has a Kungfu Panda date with Nadia... so ended up with Jenny and I only... Anyway... we had a half an hour body massage at Zouk Spa, Summit after my 4pm IOI....

fuhhh.... i almost forgot how nice a massage can be... started with your shoulders... then your back and butt (yes.. butt got massage also).. then the legs and the arms... giggled at some points :D.. hehe... there's few parts of my body that really ticklish even when it comes to oil massage.. usual comments from the Masseuse (cam salah eja jek...), "no married?"... hehe... finished off around 7.30pm with flying soothing feeling all around... while waiting for Ant to join us for dinner... Jenny kinda dragged me to the Adidas store near to the Soy store... ON SALE!!!!!!!! fuhhhh.... jantung berdebar2 masuk kedai tuh uols... mata dah melilau semacam... as expected... me ended up with one pants and one t-shirt.. RM117.00... ok la hor.... i'm so gonna wear it tomorrow for Summit's class... eheh.. Sorry NIKE... i curang dekat you esok ya...

hmm.. juz read Azie's blog... she vomitted on thursday? Niens... so angry at a cab driver? hoh... you both need to go massage.. :D

Pain in the butt!!

I thought after launch, I'll have more time to rest and sleep... owh... meleset sama sekali ya... work at the office keep piling up.... *sighhh* well..... bigger post means bigger responsibility aih...... you want more money, work harder lorrrrr.... heheheh.... professionally, both work and gym really exhaust me inside out... but you know what, the appreciation you get in the end of everything is priceless!! When your CEO, pat you at the back and said, "Well done!"... fuhhhh.... all the 'sufferings' kinda poofff..... heheh... hopefully it will be accompanied with good bonus and increment ;-) huahauhauhaua..... as for the Bodyjam side... there's no word/ phrase to picture what i felt when I see the team shines... the smile on members face... the satisfaction that they get... the blooming of the new instructors... it's just put a smile in your heart each day.... :D

Being a head teacher brings my attention to a completely different view... it's all about the team, it's all about how to bring them to the next level, it's all about grooming them to become the best bodyjam instructor that they can be... to achieve this, we need to work together... Jammers, the world doesn't evolves just around you... there are so many others are involved... so, you need to be aware your own doings and how it affects the surroundings including yourself...

Sometimes we unknowingly or unintentionally do/act which in the end effect the whole 'system' rather than yourself.... we need to realise that things happen for a reason or many reasons... we need to think rationally why it happens rather than put the extra effort on blaming others for our own 'stupidity' and ignorance... in other words.. "Sendiri Mau Ingat" :D

To the newbies... All the best!!! Belajar dari tauladan... Yang buruk jadikan sempadan... gitiewwwww.....
