30th NOVEMBER 07

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Remembering this day, in friendster blog. My clearance date, together with Henry. Henry’s clearance was at uptown, he taught body jam release 42 tracks 1 to 4 and trash jam and cooldown. It was still early, 630pm, the crowd was roughly more than a dozen.

Mine was at Leisure Mall 845pm, omg,the crowd was like over 30 ppl. Before the class, At the locker, Ashley spoked to me, hey.. i heard ur clearance today..eh, where did u hear from..she giggled and replied..someone lar. Did jam 41, house block. Omg, Its a test of stamina, tempo, voice, cueing..etc etc etc. Glad that I dun have the huffing n puffing problem when i first did my Jam 41 at Cheras. Cheras crowd was very lively, together with the Axis and Consplant bunch. Its all hard work, paid off.

Shelley clearance was on 24th, Fifi on the 26th. Am waiting for Kay to settle down and start in Jan08. Ganbatte. Dun give up gal.

Thanks to Jerry, Henry, Kay, Tims, Esquire for coming all the way from PJ, Klang, Subang. Many thanks to my caring instructors too.. wink.

Body Jam Clearance Day

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Omg, I m having butterflies. Tonite is clearance night. I be assessed on block of 6 songs. Man, this is freaking scary.

Bolly King will be doing his last minute practise… n i dont know what to do..

Countdown to clearance day

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Its Tuesday am, I m quite exhausted after Sunday’s tuition from 10 to 12pm, and after that attended Shelley’s clearance class from 4-5,and subsequently, trained from 530 to 630pm.

Body jam 43, absolutely loved it. I got the footwork for most of the tracks except for track 13!! And a bit tempo adjustment required for track 12. I noticed that on track 13, there is a double pop of each arm. I cant handle that, my muscles ached.

Today, managed to get Fifi out to train, I cant bounce much as my legs are aching. Lugged my pc to the gym, which is heavy… and then practised, made Fifi did the tracks which i find him weak at over and over again. Track 14, is my weakness too. I seemed to be a slave driver..hehe.. later at night,  finally gotten his sms, that he cleared! Relieved… told my godbrother, and he is also glad to hear that. DINNER ON FIFI!

Char Siu

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

First time trying to make char siu (roasted bbq pork). It takes quite a bit of work, and patience, needs to be baked, glazed, grilled, turnover, glaze and grilled again.. its a bit dark per photos, but I dont use food colouring, just the colour of black soya sauce.. mum said its good..as it has been consumed rapidly. Next time, i try to experiment with chicken so that some of my muslim friends can try…

Sort of tired today, as I churned up wantons - prawn based, and the other, prawn minced with meat.

Mum then said to me, I wan to eat the prawns i bought the other day…. then , the next thing,i scurried to create tofu shrimp balls… o, have to be really careful how much tofu to put in. my mistake, i put in too much tofu, resulting in soggy texture.. then remedy by putting in flour… after getting the paste, i forgot to add extra salt, etc…I rolled the shrimp balls in rolled oats before deep frying. It looked good, but tasted average due to too much flour mixed in.

Anyways, glad to have mum’s maid , otherwise, I wont be able to churned out so many things.. hate washing up!

Bloody tired

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Practising for new tracks n old tracks aint no easy… After getting the mail on tracks allocation on Sunday which I have to present "put ur drink down" and " The way I are".. Might sound easy two tracks, but put ur drink down, requires me to learn tracks 8,9,10 techniques and moves, timing before the track itself. Popping should be alright for me.. as i have gone through the workshop at Urban groove. … Next Tuesday, Team teach, Wednesday -3rd new track for tuition.. Thursday, pre assessment practise, Friday, Assessment day(or Clearance day). Hopefully by Monday, i would have covered at least 60% of the new release without much visual aid!

LAst tuesday teaming was quite satisfactory to Juwita, but a few technique check and sharpening of moves required. Its another one hour feedback. I really felt bad for taking her time…. but she has been very kind to me. Same goes to the rest of those whom I taught, or shadow with.

Today was horrible, my car lost power, and I discovered that the gear fluid has all leaked out when i managed to steer my car out of the jam to midvalley. The car has to be pushed by the securities. Damn Fxxxx up. Foremen said that this could be the side effect of the crash..please just check the car properly!! For goodness sake!

Sexual Healing lyrics-Marvin Gaye

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Yeap, sexual healing, but not upbeat Freemason’s mix Artist Alibi vs Rockefeller, but the original was sung by Marvin Gaye…

Body Jam 42, rocks on whilst we await the newest jam 43 in Fitness First launching in Dec 07. As Gandalf says: Can U feel the emotion? Yeap, one gaze n I felt it tonight…

Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye

Ooh, now let’s get down tonight
Baby I’m hot just like an oven
I need some lovin’
And baby, I can’t hold it much longer
It’s getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that’s good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you’ll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don’t know the things you’re dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it’s Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let’s make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, ’cause you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I’m capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it’s such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it’s good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that’s good for me
And it’s good for me and it’s good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we’ll be making it
Honey, oh we’re feeling fine
You’re my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you’re so great
I can’t wait for you to operate
I can’t wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing…

HE remembered! 15 Nov 07

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Someone remembered, what I have asked him to buy for me… was it a year ago? And he found it and gave it to me. I was so surprised. He is always been so sweet. Thank you. 151107_0024 Muaks.

At class, La Bomba track, I mentioned, look at ur dancing partner, and mine is here. Hm.. still am my dancing partner.

Godbrother gave me so much steamboat materials..eh.how many person can tis feed..it looks like i can feed the nation (exaggerating) he replied that can feed 10 persons! So sweet..but so much!! I think I will cook up some of the food, prepare some sauce and bring it for them after class.

Gain weight~

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

I gained weight..i told my friend today.. she said, yes, that is good for you. U lost ur weight too drastically in Aug 07. Its no good for you. Well at least its a good sign. I thought u were on diet pills or crash diet.

No lar, I wasnt on diet, I was suffering from depression.. post event. So,I lost appetite to eat that time.

She said, well, at least now u look much fresher. That time you looked very haggard and it shocks me.

…. well, that was the same reply I got from most of my friends.. almost the same comment. The weight loss was shocking, over a week, and I dropped from a M-L size to M-S then dropped to S in another week. I was depressed having to observe things that are "delicate".

I think, I am going to loose back the weight I gained recently within these few weeks, not through dieting….but through cardio most probably. I gained back from a size 26 to a healthier 28 jeans.

Meanwhile, clearance is due end of the month. I have to build up my stamina after losing momentum for over 3 weeks and losing stamina over the 3 months period.

Meanwhile, I m aching to go back to do my weights but I need rest more now.

Baked Porkchops

O..another food churning day.

Fry rice with chinese sausage n charsiu, garlic, egg,a dash of light soya sauce, pepper, salt, sugar.

Porkchops-marinate with L N P sauce,dash of light soya sauce, pepper, salt, sugar, crushed garlic for at least an hour. (L n P sauce is crucial), drain and pat dry before topping with mixture of corn and wheat flour for deep frying.

Sauce: Tomato sauce, L n P, soya sauce, sesame oil, sugar, pepper,salt (for thickening-add cornflour/wheat flour to water)

Frying: chopped ginger, garlic, tomatoes, chillies, red onion (sliced).

If u can, add cheese after before u send it to oven for baking. Otherwise… we can cut short the procedure just topped the sauce on the porkchop and ready to serve.
