Sofia Boutella...what a dancer!

If you ask me which hip hop dancer I admire, it’s definitely Sofia Boutella. She is amazing. Just looking at her twisting and turning her body like rubberband, and doing those break dance moves just makes me want to aspire to that level of professionalism.

You’d probably go like, “Sofia who???” She may not be that well known over this part of Malaysia but she is pretty well known over in Europe. I was first introduced to her when Nike introduced this new workout called the Nike Rockstar Hip Hop Workout. In partnership with the famous choreographer/director Jamie King, who has achieved stardom working with stars like Britney Spears, Madonna, JLo, Janet Jackson, etc, this workout promises some really cool moves. Working together with Rihanna in her release of her second album, “A Girl Like Me”, introducing the single called “Rescue Me (SOS)” features a sample of the classic 1981 tune “Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, a cover of the song by Gloria Jones.

When I first watched the Nike promotional ad, I was quite impressed with her moves. She can really bend! Below is the advertisement that shows just what I mean…

This one is featuring the collection from the Nike Rockstar Hip Hop workout. Check it out…

Not only can she dance, she can act and this is just a dance clip from the French movie “Le Defi” or “The Challenge”.

I can only dream to be able to dance like that…

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...

Take the Lead...never follow

Can Antonio Banderas dance? I have seen "Shall We Dance" and Richard Gere can definitely sway. But I have yet to see Antonio Banderas, the actor who is famous for his macho, he-man roles, dance. Hmm...maybe he did in Evita, I forget. So this I gotta see. Listening to all my dance 'kaki' rave about the movie and how it made them want to get up and dance along in the cinema, sure whetted my appetite. But then, even if they didn't say anything, I would have not missed it. Based on a true story of how a dance teacher wanted to teach a bunch of street kids that nobody thought they had any future, how to dance. Oh, these kids can dance but ballroom dancing? And in the end, he didn't just teach them about ballroom dancing, but about life. To teach them to believe in themselves. That if they want to achieve something, they had to work at it and not blame your circumstances for pulling you down. To teach the guys how to treat a lady with respect cos beating ...

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...
