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...

Death by Suicide

“I’m alive”, thought Veronika. “Everything’s gonna start all over again. I’ll have to stay in here for a while, until they realize that I’m perfectly normal. Then they’ll let me out, and I’ll see the outside world again.” In the second book by Paulo Coelho I have been exploring, “Veronika Decides To Die” talks about a 24 year old Veronika who seems to have everything – youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills, expecting never to wake up again. But she does…in a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. And as she thinks about her situation now that her suicide was unsuccessful, an inner monologue continues on in her head: “Since people always tend to help others-just so that they can feel they are better then they really are-they’ll give me my job back at the library. Since I only take sleeping pil...

Between the Devil and the...Angel?

And finally the final book of the trilogy, “The Devil and Miss Prym” is the most interesting of all. In this novel about temptation is a thought provoking parable of a community devoured by greed, cowardice and fear as it struggles with the choice between good and evil. A stranger arrives at the remote village of Viscos, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him. Are human beings, in essence good or evil? In his sophisticated plot, he shows Chantal Prym, a young, simple girl in the village, where he buried his eleven bars of gold. After showing her the gold bars, he shared his plot to proof his theory that the nature of human beings when confronted with temptation, will always fall. He explained to Chantal, “ Everybody in this village is honest, starting with you. I showed you the gold bar, which would give you the necessary financial independence to get out of the village, to trav...

Hyppo Barney Rocks!!

The ActsGames results were finally out after the long awaited two weeks. And the winner goes to....Hyppo Barney!! It was quite unexpected since the team didn't win alot of games, but did they score big time on the merit points! I was just chatting with one of the committee members and she said that most of us were so focused on the games and superpower that they forgot that what happens behind the scenes are just as important. I guess we learnt a lesson from the Hyppo Barneys...Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hippo Barney! As for the winner of the cheerleading, the Red Hulks walked away as the champion while Pink Panthers came in second with very close marks. Pink Panthers were the Iron Team for being the team who was the strongest...surprise! surprise! I thought we did were around second or third. The best Sportswoman went to Aunty Molly from Mata Kerbau and best Sportsman went to Alex Au Yong from Red Hulks. Way to go! Finally, well done to all the teams out there, and thanks for that gr...
