After 6 months

8 02 2010

I finally get my butt off back to my belly dance routine.

1 hour after the last shimmy and I am home, and my thighs are aching like nobody business.

God knows will I wake up in one piece tomorrow.

Ouch. Now there is another person in the family to suffer together with my pole dance cousin. Here I am Justine. We’re in the same boat now. And enjoying it. LOL!





Pole-fessional conversation

7 02 2010

My cousin in Sidney is giving me weekly updates about her pole habits. She had gone through the 3rd week. All these years of knowing her, I think this is the first time I have seen her being so enthusiastic and going very deeply into a hobby. She was talking about installing a pole in singapore when she comes back for a visit but thought that my uncle (which is her dad) is probably gonna hit the ceiling. LOL.

I am happy that at least she is enjoying pole dancing (enjoying the dance and the pain that comes with it) although she complaints about the very “exciting” warm up procedures. Something which I had suffered through in belly dancing as well.

At the end of the 8 week course, they are going to have a mini show case. I’ve asked for a video demo but she said not even in my dreams am I gonna see it. Haha! Or if she does, she probably plays it in the post chinese new year gathering which warrants potential cardiac arrest happening among the older folks in the family. With the exception of my parents of course. They saw me in competition and are pretty cool about it. She says she is trying strip tease next. I have tried lap dancing with my best female friend. Don’t get the wrong idea, we are both married women.

 

I think exotic dancing runs in my family. So does pets infestation. Another cousin of mine residing in London recently bought 2 guinea pigs (again!) which she names cookie and cream. The piglets’ cages is double the size of Bunny Nana’s. She says she want the cage to be as big as possible as the piglets cannot roam around the garden in winter. (talking about being pampered) And there was another addition of a black labrador names crispin.

Its just, the genetic make up. Everybody is in the family is obsessed about more or less the same thing.





Some things that I don’t understand

3 02 2010

They are all adults.

They are all males.

They cannot behave properly.

Why?

Is it that they are too pampered? The cui boy in my night class will always try to step into my office when myself and the lecturer are in the laboratory looking at him. He says he is curious when we asked what is he looking for. Curious or kaypoh? Or rather, rude? His parents never teach him proper manners? Or is it that they just cannot bear to tell him off when he did something wrong and the habit continues.

The cui men on the MRT will always be the first to rush for seats even if it means colliding with pregnant women. Shameless idiots!

Let’s, put it this way, these cui men/boys will excel in anything rude, or being cheapskate but they will lose out when it comes to finding a partner because they turned off all women. They will probably buy a bride from Vietnam (and the poor gal will jump down from the building – this is said by my ex-colleague)

The Amit concert

31 01 2010

I was at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for A-mei’s Amit concert.

By far, this is only the 3rd time I have been there.

The show starts around 8.20pm. It was a sold-out concert. I must admit, I wasn’t expecting much from this veteran singer. After all, she was the pop icon when I was in secondary school and into my polytechnic years. Mellowing down in the recent years, I thought she will be belting out the good old days.

 

But she proved me wrong. The special visual stage effects blow me off. It was totally fantastic! Every bit entertaining. The theme is very much hard electronic rock music. I am not a fan of this genre but she carries and pull it off very very well. She put on a bit of weight. But I actually like her chubbier A-mei. She looked younger and kind of cute. Her “assets” kept me and my friend distracted throughout the entire concert. I am sure it will be the talking point!

 

This vocal powerhouse is full of energy on stage at 37 of age. Her vocal is simply exhilarating. She command the stage with exuberant stage persona. Talking about being experienced. The  audience were overly excited without much coaxing.

Man, she is just awesome!





The coming of age

27 01 2010

I had a chat with Lily over the phone 2 days ago.

It’s been so long since I have last talk to her. We met at the claribel’s raks shaqki recital in November and everyone else literally MIA after that. Busy at work and all.

We talk about how are the rest of the belly gals doing and all. Basically everybody is happy with their life and dropped belly dancing. Well, not because the interest is not there, its just too busy.

Work have killed most of the time. (And our government is wondering why the birth rate is not going up - Maybe they should conduct a research especially those who are working in the educational sector. How many hours do we put in at work. I worked from 8.30am to 10pm yesterday night. I have to carry on working after my dinner now at home doing some paperwork. Now, tell me how the F*** am I suppose to procreate if that is the situation with most people who are working here? Especially you have some sectors who only want answers, they will not listen to your explanation. Just get it done. And the same people will some day ask me why am I not having children.)

However, it is interesting to note that when we all met, we were all in our early to mid 20s. Now, after 6 years, everybody is in their 30s. We have lead on a full life and pushing on. But we all feel good about going to the 30s. It is like a brand new beginning. Espeically for ladies. Married or not, or children or not, it is another stage of life. Totally different from being in the 20s where you probably have lots of attention (wanted or unwanted)

Which reminds me of some jokes happening around the work place. Recently some of my colleagues have been getting much unwanted attention. Especially from totally cui men. i.e the word cui, is in hokkein. It simply means disintegrating. I do noticed that men who cannot make it, will usually look for target which they deemed is easy to hit. (in another words, less challenging)

Which proves one point – They are indeed cui. Because they will set their eyes on gals whom they think are meek and submissive so that they can continue to dominate and not get ridiculed by women who are more capable. And because they are so cui, probably more than 70% of the women around them are more capable. So they have to hunt somewhere for women who they think are less capable than themselves.

I am not impressed by one of the cui man’s attempt to impress.

It’s just, so cui
