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…

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...

PlanetShakers in Malaysia again

Been too busy to go for the Planet Shakers Conference...aiyah, what to do, so many things going on and with Christmas coming. Sometimes I wonder whether we are doing too much. After all God must have a reason for giving us only 24 hours in a day. While we try to accomplish more with the time we've been given, sometimes we wish we have a 48-hour day. Hmm...does it seem surprising that Jesus never rushed anywhere and yet was always on time and accomplished a lot of things?? Anyway, found a sneak preview of what's happening over there...wish I was there. Wish you were there but can't, just click on N ª R r Ø w ª Y ¿ Hey, tonight's the last night if you can make it....

Holidays, Birthdays...and Happy Days!

“Are you getting married?” My colleague asked me as she eyed the book on Decorating for newly weds curiously on my table. I just laughed and shook my head. Apparently I had the itch to redecorate my bedroom so I had been borrowing all the books on interior decorating from the library. I actually didn’t notice the title of the book until I was taken aback by her question. Well since the unfulfilled desire to own my own place is still not within my reach, the best alternative goal within my reach was to redo my bedroom…hence the book on my table. And probably also the creative bug in me is starting to itch having been neglected for too long…doing other boring stuff! So my plan was to get all the inspiration and ideas as much as I could before the DeepaRaya holidays looms near. It’s seldom that we have two major national holiday celebration back to back so when it happens, it’s usually a long break. It also happened that Deepavali was right smack before my birthday too. So with th...
