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...

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...
