Dancer or Model?

Recently my cardio dance teacher at my gym was selected as the 10 finalists in a model search contest. A few of us from his class went to support him....Well...I'm not a clubbing person so finding the place was one thing and getting there was another.

Finally we managed to get there in one piece with plenty of time to spare. The registration was supposed to start at 8pm and the event by 9pm. We reached there about a little past 8pm and the place was already filling up quite fast. My teacher's partner was also there along with a few other of his "kaki". We looked for him backstage and had a few pictures taken with his "canggih" hairstyle...you know the ones where the hair stands on end like spikes, kinda look like you just came out of a horror movie scared stiff...hehe...Was very tempted to touch it to see if it's as hard as it looks...but then again, don't wanna mess up his hair right before the competition.

We stood near the stage so that we could get a better view. By 9.30pm the place was jam packed and still no sign of the event starting. Some of the girls were in their stilletto heels, and with only standing place, I don't envy how their feet must feel by now. Always being the practical one, I wore my sneakers...lucky choice. The event didn't start until about 10pm....the delay seems to be because the VIPs were late, as usual.

After the 2 hour wait for the event to start, Lina Teoh, our MC came out to present the contestants. When it was his turn to do the catwalk, we were cheering him on like nobody's business. He could hear us and I think we could see a hint of a smile as he struggled not to smile while on stage. Don't know what's this thing about models not supposed to smile...though I think his smile is one of the most charming thing about him. They did about two rounds of catwalk and that was it...kinda disappointing after that long wait. Finally the results...drumrolls please.....And the winner is....


....sorry, it wasn't him.


But he went home with a pair of cool shades and voucher. After the event we went out for a cuppa and they were talking about the prizes and plans in store for the winners. I was just wondering how it would have affected him if he did win. He will probably be very busy touring on shoots and making appearances in galas or events. Will he have time to teach dancing anymore? Either way, he's leaving for another gym because they offered him a deal he couldn't refuse. I've always enjoyed his classes and will miss him. His was the first class I joined when I first joined the gym and have been following most of his classes since then...which is about almost two years. Sigh if it wasn't so far away, I would probably have joined the other gym as well....

Oh well, life goes on...

Why so downcast O my soul?

Recently I seem to be having a few upheavals in my personal relationships and also those around me. Don’t you get the feeling that sometimes months go by without something big happening and all of a sudden it all just comes pouring upon you? Is it me or it is absolutely no fault of mine. *blinks innocently* In the past few weeks, I seem to have upset one of the most patient and sweetest guy I know…though not intentionally. I’ve apologized and tried to make things better but he hasn’t been replying my messages nor picking up my calls. Zip. Nada. Nothing. I don’t know but lately I feel like whatever I say or do, people seems to be reacting negatively or things just blows up in my face. Then my brother did a very good job in making me feel like a failure by letting me know I am not making enough to help with the family finances. It’s bad enough that I am already frustrated with the fact that I do not have the resources to get a degree or get a place of my own… or even my own wheels. Now h...

Calendar boy

The long queue snaked along the walkway outside Espanda club and it was only 8pm. At the entrance the organisers were busy giving away doorgifts and free drink coupons. Behind the stage, 30 nervous young men were getting ready for the final round of interview. Inside the club, it was already jam packed with people waiting impatiently for the event to start. There was hardly any standing space left and yet people were pushing their way through to get a better view of the stage while the long queue kept getting longer outside. Finally there were lots of cheering and wolf whistles, the young men were coming out to do the catwalk. Dressed in jeans and body hugging white T-shirt with "I'm A Hunk" printed in front, to show off their muscular bodies, all 30 of them looked liked cover-guy models vying for the title of....New Icon/New Tide's latest 12 Hunks of the Year 2005. In between interviews, there was also a special presentation from our Malaysian Idol, Daniel as we...

RM 1 Million Dollar Wedding (Part II)...Go ahead, throw the first stone!

Just saw another article on the 'infamous couple' this morning and was feeling a little outraged. Transsexual drama queen?? Sinful couple?? Who gave these people the right to condemn them? Who do they think they are? God? My anger is not because he is my friend, but the at the judgemental attitude of society. Too often we are ready to accuse others unjustly of wrongdoing. We fail to see that we, ourselves, are guilty of sins. Judging is necessary in life, but it must be done fairly. Even as we judge, so we shall be judged (Matthew 7: 2). Sometimes, our motives for judging are for improper purposes. Putting someone down makes us feel superior but it is actually a manifestation of pride. When we enjoy besmirching another, we become "stone throwers" and we lose grace. If you look in the Bible at passage (John 8:1-11) , Jesus didn't condemn sinners but extended outrageous grace. The scene is the temple courts where Jesus was teaching. The Pharisees, unable to g...
