New Birds In Singapore

As a buyer I need to meet up vendor as and when, when they want to pay me a visit. (Like an animal in the ZOO – Oh Ya! Visiting a Panda….. Hahaha! Talk nonsense again.)

Oh dear! Today, a vendor from XYZ company visited me……. Oh….. haha….. This vendor made me think of Kan San – an ex colleague of my 1st job. The way they talked, their action, their facial expressions were so alike.

He talked in pieces of English and I am like playing Puzzle, trying to match his pieces of English into sentences. (Ok! Ok! I know, I know, my Ang Mor not good also, so I can’t comment right? Haha…..)

He talked very politely with abit of shyness in his expression. Keep wiping his face with a man handkerchief because he was nervous. Why I know he was nervous? Hehe….. Because I am very naughty…… I teased him….. haha….. When I saw him kept wiping his face with his handkerchief….. I asked :”Are you very hot.” (Hahaha….. Of course, I know the answer is NO lah….. soooo cold in my office…… Hahaha…) Then he replied:”I am very nervous.” Hahaha…….. (me very bad hor! Yes, I know…….. suay, he met me). Hahaha………

He just newly come from Japan and was new to the environment. So can tell his was nervous and worry but he was curious with everything. Beside, talking on job / company issued, we also talked about other things such as Singapore transport, weather, taxes, government……. He told me “Singapore is very GOOD!” “GOOD Weather” “GOOD Government!”. Hahaha….. so pro government.

Very open person…… haha……. Kan San also the same during that time when he was in Singapore…….. both new bird in Singapore but different timing.….. haha………. Wish you all good luck.

Miss those days! In Yoshida………….

The 1st Marathon in my life!

Last Sunday, 26 Oct 2008, I went with HX for Great Eastern Marathon. Haha. Just 5Km only lah. 10km???? hummmm....... 5km killed me liao...... don't think about 10Km man....... haha.. LOL.

It was a nice experience. I really enjoyed the jounery.

3Km was my norm. I used to run 3Km during my free time and in my life, I never tried anything beyond 3Km. ( Now, finally I did it. And can tell you is SIONG lor. haha......... Intitally, I still can take it. I run passed many people but when I came to 3km sign board..... don't know why my battery automatically went low..... almost flat! Haha...... I told myself, don't stop running. Don't stop! I know once I stop, I will lost my momentum. I kept pushing myself forward. It was a torture between 3km to 4km.

I run very very slow here..... like a tortise. Hehe...... Now, haha.... I saw many people passed by me. All those behind me run faster than me now. LOL. In my mind, I kept hunting for the finishing line....... "where is the finishing line"..... "where is the finishing line".... How many Km liao?

Haha...... finally, I saw a 4Km sign board..... and I was so happy. Come on, keep going don't stop.... and my stamina came back abit. So finally I reached the finishing line without stopping in between the jounery! Hurray!!! Although it took me about 40-50mins to finish the run..... but I am still very happy! Keep it up man!

Heh heh! Now, my leg aching liao........ both leg doesn't seem like my legs liao.... haha.

Aiya...... 5 numbers can't buy 4D. Hahaha..... LOL


Before the race.

See my face expression, you also know lah........ hehe...

Tell you once secret......I believe many people had went for the long distance run experience during secondary school - 越野赛跑, right? But for me, I never run before during those days and I never know the path in macritchie reservoir look like....... hehe... I am a NPCC member, so I always volunteer to be on duty during the sports day....... Haha..... Chao Keng.... LOL.

Dive addiction is back all over my nerves again.

Actually, if you don't mine the sea is too choppy; if you don't mine you might get motion sickness; if you don't mine the current is too strong; if you don't mine the danger ....... hum..... I think still can dive leh! Errrrr.................. Must fight with current, my leg turn "lang bei" --> no strength!

*Cry out loud*!!!!! I want diving! I want fishies! I want sea waves! I want sea breeze! I want the sun, the sea and the sand!!!!! I need all of them to charge my battery!!!! *Cry out loud*

Heal The World - Michael Jackson

We are given 10 CDs during my Ydance workshop. The songs / musics in those CDs, always make me melt....... and Michael Jackson - Heal the world, is one of it.

Maybe you don't like Michael Jackson, but you can't denied this is a nice song. While I am practicing this songs for my Ydance, it always make me feel tearing.
A powerful voice with a powerful wordings and music.

Oh, I can imagine my Ydance teacher had used it to dance with the children during the Si Chuan Earthquake. I think she must had created a great impact there. (She was a volunteer during that time. She was there to "heal" the children after the quake.) Oh no, how touching it would be!
If you forgot about the song, try this link Heal the world - MTV : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W61Q-EZ8R7M


Heal the world - Michael Jackson

~~~~~~~~~~ Lyrics ~~~~~~~~~~
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread
We stop existing and start living

The it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

You and for me...

4 days Intensive Ydance Workshop....... Siong!

Yoga Dance or we called it Ydance, it was GREAT! FUN! AND BEAUTIFUL! Love it, Love it, Loveeeee..... It! Mummmmcha.... I really love Ydance a lot. When my friend sent me email about this course, I was like.... hum..... What’s that? Yoga + Dance? Yoga I know, but plus dance??? What kind of dance would it be? I didn’t really have much background on dancing. I learnt a year of Chinese Cultural Dance during Primary School but that was donkey years back. I used to dance in Disco during my Twenties…… but I had stopped chionging liao. So how? But out of curiosity, I still signed up.

Initially, I thought Ydance would be Vinyasa (see here the link : htp://yoga.about.com/od/typesofyoga/a/vinyasa.htm). And by right, Yes! It should be Vinyasa (according to the market now). But hor..... overhere, what we learnt was not very Vinyasa..... Hum could said, 90% not lor. It was mixture of Yoga movement and Dance..... haha..... you don’t need to remember dance steps; you can create your own dance steps; you don’t need to know yoga posture; you can create your own yoga posture as well. It was the moment to take out your brain and leave it aside. Just listen to the music and shake your body up side down. Hahaha.....

What I feel from Ydance was, by listen to the music and body movement. It created energy. In simple word was to make you HAPPY! It helped to release mental stress and made you just enjoy the moment. And this Ydance could be very playful in certain music..... haha.... Catch no Balls??? Haha..... Is alright, can’t talked much until one day you experience it.

But as an instructor, I need to practice and practice and practice and more practices, inorder to create the atmosphere and fun. The instructor / the lead will the important key person. If he/she don’t lead well, the dance will be..... Yucks! And the participant will not enjoy the dance and feel fun anymore.

Woosh..... Who want to be my practice students? Hahaha.... think about that later, I must improve my movement first before that! Hehe.....

The next important thing was the music / song.... woow.... I can tell you.... She gave us very solid nice music / song. It really made you want to dance and dissolved into the movement.... but hor depend on age also lah…. Maybe those born in 90s will not like it. Hahaha.... But for sure it will suit my age level and above one lor..... haha.....

And I think the room atmosphere must be there as well. The lighting will affect the dance too.... haha....

Ok...... that’s it.... here are the pics:


Class Photo.


Hehe.... getting my cert of attendance.










During the Vinyasa Yoga.... not dance hor.




This lady damn good, arm "power" lagi strong!

Tell you one things. Ydance should be a 12 days workshop in USA, but they squeeze it into 4 days intensive workshop....... Ended up...... pengz.......
My whole body had broken into pcs.......... Buay Tahan...... But after that my mind is fresh.... hehe... :P
