I think today is a very good day to me..
This morning when I left home, once I reached the ground floor, I saw this very cute baby, big head, big eyes and very little hair on a pram waving to me. He is sooooo cute, smiling and waving and maintaining eye contact all the while from I saw him till I passed him.
When I reached office, at the pantry, a colleague whom I have not seen before (nothing uncommon) was being so gentleman, which is quite rare nowadays. When I was passing through with at the same time as him, he said 'you go ahead first', when I accidentally blocked his way to the trash bin he said 'May I'. For me, a little courtesy or a kind gesture will make me happy.
Linda who has just joined my department, and we never really have the time to talk to each other, comm me through office communicator and chatted with me after asking me some work stuff.
When I reached home after work, I had chicken and preserved egg porridge, one of my favourite dish, prepared by my mum for dinner.
Though nothing great had happened today, but I still very happy through all these small small things..something good to keep in mind when feeling low (^.^)

Belly Dance Lesson 1
It was Belly Dance Lesson 1 yesterday, we learnt hip circle, figure of 8, hip lift, hip drop and snake arms.
Hip circle is not very hard, but figure of 8 has some 'difficulties' nid to twist, right hip out, slide diagonally to left, then twist, left hip out and repeat again..
The snake arm I made look super funny, suppose to be one long snake became 2 retarded broken snakes...haha..
At the end of the Lesson, our instructor showed us some shawl (i forgot what it is called, but Sharon is calling it butt scarf) to tie to the hips , with 'metal coins' on it and it will sound when we doing hips movement, and see if we are interested to buy. So we were like shopping, testing out the different colors, I got myself a dark blue and Ping will be paying for me first as I will be away next week. Thanks Ping.
After Lesson, the usual Tuesday activity, UNION. Not much people there yesterday, good time for Rueda, but nobody organises the practice so only JK, Tommy, Rachel and me were there. The usual Union regulars. I realised that I have been going to Union alone more and more often..haha..I also don't know why..There are alot of people are being nice to me (^.^) *so touched*
Tinah offered to have dinner with me if I am coming alone to Union and no one else to dine with.
JK keeps dances alot with me cos he see I standing around very often.
Rachel keep looking for people to dance with me afraid that I have no one elses to dance with.
Anyway, I finally plucked up my courage to ask a guy to dance with me, and I was dancing quite badly..haha..so throw face..not cannot follow but rather keep losing my beat. I wasn't dancing very well yesterday *so sad* some dances were alright some were really bad. But I still had fun.
Initially wanted to leave early to catch last train, but ended up dragging the time as I was getting the SISF ticket and chalet, and I missed my last train. The last train left when I stepped into the station, so end up I went outside International Plaza to take a bus. It took about the same time as the train but somehow the time just feel longer, but at least I saved about $30 by taking a bus and that is all that counts =)

Styling Lesson 3
Yesterday's Styling lesson is the most fun lesson so far. During the warm up I was back to as blur as first lesson, don't know what is going on..haha..
During partnerwork, the girls are supposed to do some free spinning, but I was having some 'directional problem' and so was Fiona, so we always burst out laughing after the spin, cause we will sometime see ourselve turning the wrong direction as the rest. The most hilarious thing is I spin until i bang into the wall (stupid right?) but no choice lah the guy wanna rush step then pull to hard towards the wall then i spin towards the wall..luckily no major damage done..
On the way home, I smelled someone's french fries in the train it was so so so nice that I could not resist the temptation and bought a packet of medium fries from MacDonalds home to eat..

Birthday Party @ Utopia
A friend from Rueda held her 50th birthday party at Utopia 17 pub yesterday. The party was an eye opener for me, haha.
Her husband, organised the whole event. They booked the whole pub for the event. They invited a performer to dance salsa and bachata with the birthday girl, and the 'highlight' of the dance is the guy stripping, but only the top.
The birthday cake was the shape of a man's body with 6 packs and a red underwear, sexy huh. During the cake cutting session, the birthday girl was asked to do some funny thing to the cake, as in, 'licking' the nipple and eating the chocolate(put by some people) sticking out at the underwear, and she was so sporting that she do everything. She is really cool, I can never imagine my mum doing that. The party was great, had alot of fun.

Meltz Cafe @ Oriental Hotel
Went Meltz cafe for the International Buffet Lunch this afternoon with my mum, brother and his girlfriend for a 'pre celebration' for my mum's birthday.
The food they served today are Local, Indian, Western, Thai, Japanese and of course desserts.
When we reached, the waiter asked us if we would like any drinks, so we were asking what drinks are there, so they list things like juices, tea, blah blah..so we each ordered an ice tea thinking that it is included in the buffet, afterall, the buffet is $54 before taxes.
When we received the bill then realised that they charged for the drinks, and the ice tea is $12 each (first time drank such expensive ice tea) so the bill came up to be $300+. Luckily there is a citibank credit card promotion and we got a 15% off.
The food overall is quite good, the service is also very good.

Styling Lesson 2
Today is the 2nd lesson for the styling class, initially while doing the warm up was thinking, hmm not bad today is not as blur as the first class. The first lesson was horrible, first time taking class in JJ totally blur about the warm up 'style' but today's warm up is different, is about stretching and weight transfer, no more right turn, left turn.
When we are doing recap on what we learn last week I can remember..BUT can't execute..so aka cannot do. This is the result of not practicing..
Today we learn the flamingo hand, when practicing alone it looks fine, but when dancing with the guy it become odd, especially when u see the guy is coming and afraid that u will elbow him. The tough part of today's lesson is 'the sliding' don't ask me to describe cos I can't. Its very taxing on the ankle when you have slide pivot and slide again. I was totally off beat when doing the sliding, its suppose to be for the first 3 count, end up when I finish my sliding, my partner has not turn back yet and the best part is I don't know which count I am at..but the lesson is still fun and hopefully I would dare to use it at dance floor(which is highly impossible).....
