Waltz Friendly Match At Fitness First, IOI Mall

My gym had organised a small ballroom competition yesterday. It was really fun. It't not those official kind of ballroom competition or else, I will be definitely out of the game in the first round. LOL. However, I think by organising such event really helps us to enjoy ourselves and know where we are standing. The most important is I think it will help us to improve ourself.

We started with 9 pairs of us if I'm not mistaken. Every round we dance, the bottom two pairs will have to leave us. Anyway, since it's not an official dance competition, it's just a small friendly match kind of thing, there is not winner or loser. We just ended up competing for the best three pairs. So there are 3 rounds of Waltz to dance. Below is the photo we took together after the competion. Too bad not all the girls there, but all the guys are there. LOL.
Personally, I think everyone putting quite a lot of effort to this friendly match and everyone is a winner since we all have the guts to compete with each other. The match began with the ladies draw the name of the male partner from the male pool list. It's a random selection so that we can dance around with different people yet improving ourselves together.

Maggie, Kelvin's wife picked me up. So I will be her partner for the competition. Well, she is really a good in Waltz. I think she dances better than me a lot and thanks to her helping me up at the dance floor. LOL. I think your both the male and female play a very important role togehter to make the dance a success. It's mutual understanding, respect, and toleration that need to be taken place in order to make it look good.

So I guess I'm lucky to be in the final 3. Well, I guess I do remember my steps kind of well. I think I did very minimal mistake on the steps, maybe the pose and the expression is kind of hard to control since I don't practise often. Imagine it I only dance once a week, two at most at the gym. It's not that I dance quite often at those dance school or stuff. It's really something for me, I mean the experience. Anyway, below is the photo of the best three pairs, of course including me myself. LOL.

Exhausted After RPM Class

I went for RPM class at 7.30pm at Fitness First, The Curve today and it really make me sweat. I mean I sweat more than I do previous few classes I attended. The instructor of the day really pushes us hard to burn down some calories.

Although my main objective is not burning calories as I am already pretty thin, almost like a bamboo like most my friends used to call me, but I still think some cardio work out is necessary to built up some stamina and improve my health.

Of course I do take food after my work out as that is the way to gain more weight. I need to replenish my energy and eating after work out can make my digestion goes pretty fast and I will absorb more.

However, I am really exhausted today. I guess I have to sleep early and get up early for work tomorrow. So I guess I will skip the reading for today and have a great rest and sweet dreams later. LOL.

Exhausted

Today I'm kind of exhausted. Yesterday went for work out and joined RPM class in Fitness First, The Curve in the morning and my dancing class at the evening. In between, I was driving my sister for her ballet class and my mother to get some stuff. Then at later in the evening went to Cheras with Charles and Theresa for a drink.

I only reached back home at midnight and got to wake up this morning at 6.30am and get to the gym for a work out session with Chee Yuen. It is the last work out session with him for this year. He just terminated his membership as he needs to go to Germany to pursue his degree and maybe master too. So next time, I got to work out alone most probably on Sunday. =(

Yesterday took me whole day and this morning work out as well, I'm really exhausted and barely move my muscle anymore. The dancing class was cancelled today and the worst thing happened to me is the migraine hit back.

I tried the product sample from Origin called "Peace of Mind" given by Douglas to me yesterday and it feels kind of good. It helps me to relax a lot but the pain of having the migraine might not be taken away by it. So during the noon, I took the medication and rest a bit. Now feels better as my head is not hurting.

For now, I'm just wondering how is my dinner tonight going to be. I do not feel like eating at home or outside alone, and of course the worst to get a take away food again all the time. My lunch today already it's a take away food and I ate it at home, alone. *Sob Sob*

A Treat Before Convocation

Today, the eve of my own very convocation day. LOL. I did a lot of things this week. In my previous blog, I did mention that I went for facial spa, then i did my hair cut, get my convocation gown etc., and of course some of my own stuff. As usual, I went for gym and my dancing class. Too bad, tomorrow I gotta skip this week class for my convocation.

This morning, I went to Fitness First, The Curve to work out with Douglas. I joined that RPM class which I didn't go for it before. It's pretty good actually cause it does really make me sweat. However, I would only join once a week I guess next time. I don't want to kill all my calories, ended up getting thinner. LOL. After the gym, I got treated lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., and the experience is amazing. The food there is great. I guess you would hardly get disappointed dining there, just it might burn a hole in your wallet.

If you gonna ask me how good it is, I have to ask you go and try yourself. It's good until I forgot to even take some photos of it. LOL. That's a lie. Actually I'm starving that time and totally forgot to capture some for my blog. If I have a chance to dine there again, I will capture some (provided I have the budget to dine). Luckily this is a treat, or else I'll be washing plates there.

It's just another 10 hours, my convocation is going to be held in Wisma MCA. I'm happy that my family are coming, I'll meet back most of my course mates. Maybe take some photos and I guess it will be last one that we all will be taking together. After that, I'll be taking graduation photo with family back at my area. I think it's cheaper than the one offer in UTAR.

Convocation is Coming

Convocation is coming real soon. This Sunday is my convocation already. It's start at 8am, at Wisma MCA, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. It's once in a life time thing to be experience. Been doing some preparation lately. LOL.

Yesterday just went to UTAR, PJ campus with Poi Ying and met with some ex-course mates. We queued up like about 6 hours to get that convocation gown, hood, mortarboard and other stuff. Queued up till my legs hurts. But then I met with Jun Hou, Melissa, Yin Sian, Naresh, Pek Yen, Janet, Suet Ying etc.. But than only able to chat with Jun Hou and Naresh the most. LOL.

At least Poi Ying and I went to HerbaLine to do our facial wash. First time experience to be having such a facial spa. It's a great experience. We did our sea salt foot bath, then proceed to some aromatherapy to relax before our facial wash session, and lastly not to forget is fish spa. The facial spa ended with a spa soup (taste like ginger soup only) and another aromatherapy for refresh purposes. It's so relaxing that I even fall asleep. The bad thing is that snored somehow, maybe bacause I'm too tired. LOL. They even served us a bowl of rice porridge with olive leave.

After the facial spa, I went to Fitness First, The Curve to work out with my friend, Douglas. I wonder how he can get that good figure and to be able to carry such weight. It looks scary when all those guys in the free weight section carrying those weight (mostly look like they took the weight that is much more heavier than they could be taking) and able to complete that work out. Their expression are so agression and violent as if they can eat you up if you mess with them. I think I just want to tone myself a little bit more and that's it. I don't plan to be like that, such a muscular body. I know it's nice but I don't wanna torture myself for it. Furthermore, I have no money to get those protein supplement. Guess I just have to stick with what I have and what I can afford to have..

My Lousy Cha Cha

We practised Tango and Rumba again today, with a little extra steps and some techniques. It was fun until my instructor wanted to practise Cha Cha, which I have not much idea how to dance it. I'm kinda bad in it I personally think. Guess I need more training and attend more class to get use to the steps.

Today, although Chee Yuen didn't turn up (I have no idea why he didn't but then he told me earlier already), I did go a little bit of workout. After my dance class, I meet with Charles and his friend, Brian at Fitness First. We continued with some workout and the hit the steam room.

After all the workout and steaming session, as usual, we surely look for a place to fill our tummy. We went to Bumbu Bali at first, but then ended up running out after looking at the price and our wallet. LOL.. Guess gotta wait till we got our pay before going there for real, Ended up we went to Star Village for lunch.

Now I'm pretty tired. Not to say very tired, but kinda lazy enough to drive out again for now. If only have someone wanna go out for dinner with me now, perhaps I'll think about. I just don't wanna drive out right now.

Tango & Rumba

Today as usual is my gym day with Chee Yuen and my ballroom dancing class. I'm starting to work on coming Wednesday, so I guess I might be going for gym at night on weekdays now. But Sunday still on and as well as my dancing class.

Today, I learn a new dance, TANGO. It's amazingly the most easiest steps of all dance I learned so far. The hardest part for this dance is the tempo and that expression. Tango is a dance that full of spirit, some how like attacking. The staccato tempo and that head shaking part are things that I need to practise. LOL. Nothing much, just learn some basic steps only.

The other dance is Rumba. It was just a revise of the first group that we have learned previously and addition of another new steps. It is a nice movement, but then I think my hand movements and the steps need to be practise a bit more. The hipping part is the hardest for me. At times, I fell that the hipping part make me look like a fool. Kinda like shaking the butt here and there while dancing. But if you can dance properly with the hipping, it is a wonderful thing. So I should be practising and be proud later on. LOL..

Dancing Class & First Shopping Trip of This Month

Today I'm pretty tired. As usual, I went to Fitness First in the morning for gym with Chee Yuen, then followed by my ballroom dancing class. We train more on our biceps and triceps today and some shoulder as well.

As for ballroom dancing, today kinda practise my Quickstep, Jive, Rumba and little bit of Samba. Oh my God, so much in a day but I have fun. After attending this ballroom dancing class for almost one month plus, I'm kinda not too bad in learning it especially Quickstep. So now can dance a bit already. An auntie (forget her name already) kinda partner with me recently for almost 3 classes already. I guess she will be my learning partner most of the time now. It's ok I guess, anyway it's all about learning dancing and not to have a gorgeous dancing partner, right? LOL.

After the class, I went to Times Square, Sungai Wang and Pavillion with Charles. I was suppose to accompany him to walk around because he wanted to buy a facial mask from the shop called "Beauty Credit" in Sungai Wang. Ended up, I brought it with him along. I got the fresh kiwi mask from Beauty Credit. Since my toner is running out, I ended up getting a toner called "Fresh Juiece Toner" from Skin Food. I got some samples to try from both skin care shops. So now I'm broke. (T.T)


I think I'll only get the things that I want from the Beauty Credit and The Body Shop next time. Probably after I get my wages when I get a job. LOL. I wanna go shopping again. It's Mega Sales but it still burn a BIG hole on my wallet.

Quick Steps

I kinda tired after gym with Chee Yuen at Fitness First, IOI Mall, Puchong. Today I aim more on my legs. Been doing some leg press (I think it's called that way), and some biceps and triceps before I proceed to the Ballroom dancing class that I've been joining for 3 weeks already for now. This is the third class I'm attending.

I was suppose to join the class with Chee Yuen at the first place but then he has been skipping the class after the first class. He said he is interested but then I don't think that he is that into it. Well, maybe I'm into old stuff or something not normally people will join. LOL.

This week, it's more on Quick steps, which I have more confident in dancing it. Previous two classes, the tutor teaches us Quick steps and also Cha Cha. Seriously, I have no idea how to dance Cha Cha at all till now. I think the steps a bit more complicated. Maybe because it also involve with the hands movement too.

For now, all the basic I have already learned. But then I guess I'll have to practise and dance a bit more with someone to make it perfect and master it properly. Mastering the steps is not all, but then the toe and heel movement and the turning part also need to master as well.

I guess next week, maybe we will just practise a bit more for the Quick steps and then back to either Cha Cha (which I'm super lousy at it) or perhaps other new dance. LOL. Actually, I'm a bit thrill for next week class. So, who wanna learn Quick steps for free from me? I might not be perfect instructor but I still can teach a bit. LOL. Lastly, who wanna be my partner to dance with me? LOL

If anyone interested in ballroom dancing and is a member of Fitness First, do come for the classes with me. I'm attending the classes in Fitness First IOI Mall every Sunday, 9.35am. Lets move your body and learn some classy dancing that shock your friends and people around you.

Gym - Work My Arse Out

It's been a tiring day for me today. As usual, today is Sunday, which mean I have to food hunt myself for my dinner as my Mum don't cook on this very day. Early this morning, I went to IOI Mall, Puchong to meet up with Chee Yuen for work out in Fitness First. LOL. He became my fitness instructor for the day as he completed his personal training session with the trainer there (if I'm not mistaken that trainer name is Nel). So he coached me on some free weight section and help me with those work out. OMG. I felt like my arms no longer with me as I barely move my arms anymore after that work out.

We went to Old Town Cafe for so brunch. I just ate Ipoh chicken hor fun. Don't really know what to eat also. Then been loitering at Jusco since now is sales period, I can't stop myself from cruising around to check out those items. So many things I want to buy but I have a limited budget to spent. Currently, I'm unemployed. Over spent will really kill me. After that, went to Station 1 for a drink with Saram. Then drove back home. Now, felt like I'm half dead.

I have no idea what to do later. Perhaps watch TV, get something to bite, online, day dreaming a bit, etc. It's really boring for me most Sunday. I wanna catch a movie but no idea who to ask to watch with me. Haha. I felt I'm pretty lame. LOL.

Today, the most remarkable things I have done is work out at gym. So what is my price for it? Muscle-ache nearly all over my body tomorrow morning as I am so sure about it. I didn't work out almost 2 months, and now Chee Yuen was like pumping me like hell. I have to keep it out some more or else what I did today is in vain. I'll have to caring on with my free session with Chee Yuen again next week. Anyway, thanks to him, or else I have to pay a large sum for personal training. LOL.
