Black hole
Down to the pit. Really feeling depressed and not happy these couple of days. Several factors contributed to this state of mine. With so many things happening at the same time, you just do not know where to start or even to work on. Worst still if you feel like you hv been force to carry out the task. To top it off, you have to control the crowd where majority are females!!! (no offence gurls). Really had a tough time dealing with this species.
Lately was given the task to so-called "supervise" this bunch of newbies for the up and coming BJam release. Already know upfront that this is gonna be a tough assignment, but didn't really know how tough is it until the day comes. It almost drain out all my energy. Conducted 3 tuitions so far, and every time i have to watch what comes out from my mouth inorder not to hurt this gurls feelings. And when you think your job is done, there u have the launch team to think about. Just dreadful. Everyone eyes looking at you, hoping she, she or she will be in the launch team. Gosh!!! On the other hand, i have to listen to the head GXC about who shoud be in and who should not. Driving me nuts!!! When comes the day i have no choice but to drop one or two of them fom the original plan, there comes the gurls saying i have no confidents in them. sighh......gawd....pls help.........
So with all this thing going on, it really dampens my mood. As much as i want all to be in the team, but the fact some of these gurls really need to work on thier moves...And is really sad when u know u are giving them all sorts of help you can provide, but then end up they get the wrong interpretation saying i hv no confidents in them.....When the task was past to, i thought, well, couldn't be that bad afterall. But after going through it, i'm really have second thought of holding the post. Imagine every tuition you have to make sure you know your stuff well, in and out, watch what you say inorder not to hurt anyone feeling, at the same time to gain respect from them, which to me, i felt is the most toughest part of all!! If that person dont like you, no matter how you wanan help or give feedback, she will sure end up saying something back in return eg. "no lar, the dvd doesn't show that way", "issit? i remember the movement is like this"...sigh....This lead to the point i wannna say here, i feel like i have been force to do something i am not happy to do it. Is like i have to proof to this ppl that i have what it takes. Well, do i have to go to that extend? To proove myself to you ppl ? Felt so stress-out, frustrated and that leads to the current mood i am in now. I really hope the launch will do well coming next monday. I have really done what i could to make it work. The rest I shall jsut leave it to the Higher above to dictate. And i would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to my dear gurl, Leo, without her presence during the tuition, i don't think i can sustain till today. Thank you gurl, really appreciate much much!! MUAH MUAH!!!
anyway, will be out of networld for the next couple of days. Going for the Bstep training. Sigh..another thing that is not something i am looking forward to but then i have no choice to take it up. Pray for me that i will go through this round. Will blog more about it when i get back next week. Till then, you guys have a good weekend. ciao.......
X-Men & Nasi Lemak
Now, you guys must be wondering what is the connection between the X-Men and Nasi Lemak. hahaha .I only have like half an hour to go b4 i pack my notebook and head down to hartamas for my bjam launch tuition. It has been a very hectic weekend, with all the new launches just round the corner plus with the weekend classes, could hardly really rest/relax on the weekend. The only time when i had the time to chill out was during saturday night. Had the chance to watch X-Men 3, and also hang out wiht my old-schoolmates friends. X-Men3 was DABOMB!! Although the storyline was much left to desire, but somehow the actions sequence covers up the loopholes. If only they havge spent more time developing the "cure" and the "Angel" mutant storyline, it will be 10/10. My favourite action scene would be the confrontation between Phoenix and Professor X. Now, that scene itself is worth the RM10 for the ticket!!! it was just f**king cinematic experience!!!(so drama!) The only gripes i have would be the way they killed some of the mutant characters. Yes, you read it correctly. Not one, but few mutants meet thier fate in this installment. Even if they do bring in the 4th X-Men to screen, i am sure it will be totally different feel altogether. Next question, will there be another 4th X-Men movie?? well, hell yeah!!! It better be!!! i wanna see more of the banter between Beast and Wolverine and also the new mutant Angel.......(keep finger cross).
After the movie, my friends decided to go to Kampung Baru to have the ever famous nasi-lemak. Yeah. It was pouring cats and dogs that night. Felt cold and wanted something to heat up our body. And what will be the good way then havin a nice hot-spicy dose of nasi-lemak. And mind you guys, moi has never been to Kampung baru before and according to my friend, that palce serves the BEST nasi lemak ever!! (eat this yw2K!!hahah). So we drove all the way to Kampung Baru, initially had some difficulty finding the actual place, and with the heavy rain, it didn't really help much on the visibility part. By the time we scouted the place it was like alsmot past midnight, and everyone stomach was growling by then. Finally we located the place and gawd!! it was filled with ppl!!! It was PACKED!! JAM PACKED!!!! couldn't even find a place to seat!! Got to wait for about 15mins b4 we manage to get our place. without wasting anytime more, i dash quick over to the food counter and see what do they have to offer...OH MEN!!! the rice was warm and hot and u can actually smell the santan the moment he opened up the container, the sotong curry was sooo gravy and nutty, the fried chicken was sooo big and chunky, and the beef rendang.......omg!!! i'm already drooling just by typing this entry. Hhahah, Since this is my first time i was there and wouldn't know when will be the next trip, i decided to gallop it up. (well, i can afford lar, having doing 4 classes on that day itself...hehe) Took the chicken the sotong and the momemt it landed on the table, it was like there is no more tomorrow. Every piece of it just went into my mouth until the plate was clean!! not even a grain of white rice to spare!!! LOL!!!! Obviously with the cold weather it just create the more appetite to eat more. Really had a fun night. Thanks guys, u really make my day. Shall we go again this coming weekend perhaps? hhahhahaha..........
Shake it!! Shake it!!
I actually did wrote a blog last friday evening. Infact it was a pretty long blog, but somehow the moment i click Post, the whole window hang, and there goes my blog, missing in oblivion. Damn! Was cursing so bad until my intestine hurts!!haha. These week i am working on morning shift. Started pretty lazy these morning. Had a very active and tiring weekend. Together with the usual classes, also had to do the tuitions for the new releases which gonna be launch in first week of June06. Yeap, time is running thin and this time round, there are so much more to learn as compare to the last quarter. Attended 2 tuitions, still struggling to get the movement right, esp the new introduce afro move block. Frankly speaking, not my number 1 favourite at the moment. Dunno why, jsut don't hv the interest to go thru that particular block. Just find it doesn't jive, whether the movement and the music. And the movement, just doesn't seem dancing to me. To me dancing is somethin that u can express freely and move cohesive with the musci, but not when u r having struggling with the move and also look awkward at the end of the day. But the rest of the block is just great! Love the latin block, esp the build-up towards the end with the e-samba song. Ragga block these round is ok. If only they could pick more suitable song than what they have listed this round. The bonus this round would be the extra block Jazz Rock. and it ROCKS!!!! . my current favourite at the moment. Just once of those dance that u can really express to the max! Can't wait to teach those block...yw2k, brace yourself mate......
Weekend also manage to catch the movie The DaVinci Code. Hmm...lets just say, for those ppl who have read the book prior to the movie, u will be feeling a bit dissapointed. For me, i don't find the movie engaging as compare reading the book. Watching the movie is like just watching a tv series unveiling one series week after week wihtout feeling the excitement and thrilling effect. Maybe because i have read the book and knew what was the outcome . But somehow i find the movie was pretty slow pace in a sense, and also they didn't really do justice to the lead character Robert Landon. The character is so pale in comparison to the book. 3 stars on my rating :)
This week i'm in morning shift. Back to gym schedule. yeah! can't wait to shake some butts and do some high-octane-sweatable class...hahaha........
Updated @ 11.45am
Just wanan share wiht u guys the current song i am so into. from Mary J Blige and U2, song title - One. Great song. great mtv. Espeacially towards the ending, the build-up, Just wanan get myself up from the chair and bang my head and dance....yeee harr!!!! is jsut one of those song when u feel sso lazy and lousy, just pop in that song into your Zen or IPOD, and the rest is just pure electricfying!! Highly recommended gem from yours truly :)
Is "HIM" married?
That is the question everyone is asking. And with just one more day to go before the world premiere of The DaVinci Code, guess all the fans (incld, me of course) of this famous novel by the same name from the writer Dan Brown, are waiting anxiously. Lots of controversies, lots of protest from the specific religion parties (no need to name them la), just adds up the hype and excitement of this movie. I for one am looking forward to watch this movie. Thank goodness this time round, the socalled our "social guardian angel" the censorship board had given the greenlight to hv the movie shown in Malayisia, and also NO CUTS at all!! Now aint that something to celebrate eh? haha. Can't say the same for our neighbouring country, Thailand. News came out the movie is gonna be shown over there, but the last 10 minutes of the movie will be snipped off. Yeap. last 10 mins of the movie will be cut. Now, tell me guys, whats the point watching the movie when you already know, the ending part will be cut?
Lets keep finger cross the movie is as engrossing and entertaining as the book itself........
To step or not to step
Have been a busy day for me for the past couple of days. Came in yesterday and already bombarded with all sorts of system problem waiting to be rectified. My eyes now seeing stars staring at the monitor screen for hours! Gonna detour and take a rest before i start working on the problem again later.
Took a day off on last friday since a Wesak public holiday. Didn't really do much. Had classes in the afternoon. Later in the evening attended the BStep quarterly training. It has been a long time since i place my both feet onto the stepboard. Infact b4 i became an instructor, step class is one of my favourite classes. And last friday night just brings back those happy memories. Felt kinda weird to do steps again. But after 10 mins into the class, i was so into the music and there i was, steppping like a pro!! LOL!! Overall was a good class. Later at night went to try this new Hakka restaurant in The Curve. The food was alright. But the drinks was very pricey. Imagine a glass of soyabean can cost you RM4!!.
Saturday was the quarterly training day. Attended the BJAM and BAttack class. As usual, both classes was a BOMB!! Had a exhilirating time, enjoying myself to the max!! BJam was just soo much fun when u have all so-called Bjam instructors all pack in one studio, having to outdo one another! hahahah(literally speaking :p) Although the new moves these round is very much questionable, but the end results was fun! Had a great time strutting my stuff and also seeing some other ppl dancing (or not!) in thier own style. Infact i think only a few of us that makes the most noise during the class. I m sure our dear-shake-yr-hips-leo was having great time shouting n "hipping" all the way! And also this is the first time we had BJAM for and hour and half long!! By the time it ended, everyone was soo high! Str8 into BAttack, and that was it, high octane from start to finish! Only gawd knows how much sweat i drench that day. After both classes was over, my tummy was making noise, need to scout for food. Shower and headed to KimGary for food. Sat there for awhile chit-chat with someother instructors and also gossipping other instructors hiaks!!!
Night was movie time. Went and watch Poseidon. As expected. Was just an ok movie to me. Did enjoyed watching the movie. But then again, disaster movie, how much can u runaway from the normal storyline. If you have watched earlier disaster movies like, Perfect storm, Daylight, Titanic, Twister, just to name a few, you will get my drift.
Sunday was a lazy day for me. Afternoon did my usual classes and later in the day celebrate my mom's birthday (yeap, Double Happiness! hahah) My mother birthday falls on Mothers Day. Kill two birds with one stone. Didn't really had a big celebration. Expected gonna be lots and lots of ppl in restaurant. Decided to just had homecook food in my brothers place. And spent some quality time with my nephew and niece, playing XBOX game with my nephew and later play masak-masak wiht my niece! Told you i am flexible LOL!!!
Now back to reality. Still got a few more things to do b4 i call it a day. One more thing i would like blog in here. Received a call (edited, tx hassle,muzzle,watever fuzzle :p) from FF GXC, asking me to take up the BStep training. For the benefit of you readers, i have actually taken up the BStep training ages ago. Infact BStep was the first training programme that i took but sad to say, at that time i didn't make it. And now almost two years after, they are asking me to take it up again. Since i am now teaching BJam and BAttack, they don't really see a problem of me not able to pass BStep. But that is not the question. I know if i would to take it again, i know i can pass. But the question is whether do i hve my heart set on doing BStep in future? Is that what i would love to do? On one hand, an extra programme will definiately do good in the extra-income part, but on the other side, i hve to force myself to do something that i might not love doing it at the end of day. Delimma, delimma......Anyway, i am suppose to get back to the GXC by tmrw. Will update you guys if i will take up the offer. Back to work now....sigh....
S.O.S
One of those afternoon, after coming back from a heavy lunch....(yeah, really heavy guys, had indian rice with mutton curry, eggs, veges + papadum + teh halia ice! or ginger tea ice for ppl who don't understand local dialect ...and my all time favourite ice-cream Magnum Almond!...aahhh...to die for........) ANyway, that beside the point why i am bloggin this entry. Feeling a bit low and no mood to work due to some matter which i shall not dealth into it until i have a final confirmation from my supervisor.
Was playing wiht my ZEN and just uploaded some excellent music videos. Finally got my hands on the new singles from Rihana - S.O.S. Excellent video. Infact she has two version of the same song. Some of you guys already know one is the promo she did with Nike Rockstar Hip-Hop, which she did a video for Nike that shows the nike hip-hops moves and nother version is the one you guys are watching in tele these days (sausy!!!!) Imagine me wearin that green sexy dress....hiak!!! LOL!!! lord!! Nice to just pop that song on your player now and just listen to the catchy tune....... come rescue me......this time please someone come rescue meeeeeeeee............(shake your booty, shake your booty).
Look at the picture.....gosh.......Don't u just wanna ripped off her saucy lips.,.........
P/S - if you guys are into singles, pls get the singles from Sugababes - Red Dress Remixes...Utterly freaking highly Danceable octane hot stuff!!.
Credit Card again
i will never understand how this credit card banks work. When you owe them money, even a very very tiny itsy bitsy teeny weeny amount, they will like call or chase you, depends how you want to interpret it, like there is no tomorrow. Informing you how much you owe them, that you already pass due date for your payment, this and that,......But when u are free from owing them any money, they will change like 360 degree and treat you like a god.
For those of you who have been following my blog since day one, you guys should know how i really really despise this ppl. And that was the reason why i took the initiative to clear my credit card and vow never again to use this particular bank credit card. The encountered wiht this ppl is just too much and left me a very bad impression bout this ppl. Anyway, ever since i have cleared my credit card, to the amount ZERO, i thought that will be it. No more disturbance from them. Oh boy how wrong i was.....
After a month, i received a letter from them, indicating that i have no been using the credit card for some time now (hello??, obviously!!) So to maintain the GOOD RELATIONSHIP between the bank and my goodself ( this is the word they use in thier letter), they have automatically upgrade my credit limit to certain X amount. I was like, whatever, i don't really care. So there goes the letter to the garbage dump. And guess what, that is not the end either. Subsequent days follow, i received a call from the bank call centre, informing me since i am such a loyal customer?!?!? they will like to introduce me some special offers discount and some invitation to whatever party that was held in Zouk. Again, i wasn't interested and decline their offer.
Now, yesterday, when i went back home after my work, again i received another letter from that bank again!!. CAn't these ppl just leave me alone?!?! ..While having my dinner, i decided to open up the letter and see what they have to offer this time. Haha...To my surprise, when i open up the letter, a
Gold card in the letter!!! Yeah!! WTF??!!! I proceed to read what is all about. You can really curse these ppl to the max. In
hte letter, it says that their system record shows tht i am thier so called loyal customer blah blah blah, will like to maintain the good relationship (again!!, don't they have ny other vocabulary to use!) therefore, they like to upgrade my VISA to a
Gold VISA card. Explaining further what i get from having this card, blah blah blah blah....... From that moment, i look at the card, the card look at me. It was like almost 5 mins we were both lookin at each other. Even my rice was getting cold liow... Then only it hit me, Wow!! i got a Gold VISA card. What am i gonna do about it ? Come to think about it, nowadays, every tom dick and harry is carrying a gold card. There issn't just anymore prestige of having one as compare to last time. Ever since the economy downturn in 1997, all credit card bank had reduce thier requirment to owe a CC. Now, all you need is a monthly income of RM2,500, and u can get a Gold card lar.........tiu!!!!!!!!!!!! So, decided to just put back the card into the letter, went into my room and chuck the letter in my drawer. Then i proceed on eaiting my dinner.....hahah... Well, i must say for the 5 mins or also, i was kinda thrill to have one, but now....pigilar main jauh jauh!!..........

Mission Impossible 3 review
Haha, yw2k must be cursing now, waiting for this particular entry. Sorry mate, afternoon shift. Got in to the office, had some urgent stuff need to settle. That explain the delay of this entry for today. Yes, is the review of Mission Impossible 3 that i got the chance to watch it yesterday night. So you must be wondering how did the movie fair right.
- edited @ 8.24pm
the MI3 ticket that was issued yesterday night. Shape of a phone, with the words "Your Mission If You Choose To Accept It...". The inlay has the time/date and seating number information.
(Beware guys, spoilers ahead, read at your own risk)Well, to sum it up in just few words, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Yeap. I felt the movie was good. Infact, is much better than the last to missions. Yeah!. Maybe i didn't expect much out of it, but it turn out a well-crafted movie. Those who goes for the action, u won't be dissapointed. Lots of action scenes and realistic too! One scene that i love in particular is when Tom Cruise need to jump over from one-building to another building by swinging! I felt that scene was very well executed. Another aspect i like about the movie, these round you have all the members of the team work together to execute theplan instead of one-man-show as in previous 2 movies.
Can't say much on the storyline. Although i do feel the story has a strong foundation to it, but it drifted away with all the actions at the end of the day. Also another small gripe i have is the villian played by Philip Seymore Hoffman. I felt that the character has a very limited screentime, when he appears, he really catches your attenttion with his real wicked and evil manner. As for the rest of the casts, it was alright. Nothing much to shout about. Maggie Q is like a vase in the movie, although she does have some action scenes involved. Could be better.
There you go guys. actually didn't reveal much bout the storyline and I will strongly recommend you guys to go and watch in the cinema. Well, heck, me already deciding now whether i wanan catch it again in IMAX since they are showing.
Working on Labour Day
Today is Labour Day, and yet i am sitting in my office at this hour, staring at my notebook screen and typing this blog for you guys. Yeap, im working today. Infact i have been working since the weekend. Had a system upgrade planned on Saturday morning and we are talking like wee hours of the morning, 3 am to be precise. Don't ask me why? This is how things done in this company. Didn't expect the job could take me almost the whole morning. By the time it was done, i am could hardly opened my eyes. Decided to cancel my Saturday classes, both Jam and Attack. Sorry guys, no choice. Else i can't see myself, half dead, jumping and prancing around like a zombie on the stage. There goes my Saturday, slept thru the whole afternoon and by the time i woke up for dinner, something came up and i have to solve some system problem....AGAIN!!! These round, the stupid problem took almost the whole night to solve. Realised i am not doing anything to improve the situation, have to resort calling my seniors to help out. Again with all the head-cracking and nail-biting trying to solve the problem, finally round 4am + the problem was solved!...And by the time i've finished preparing a report (yes, i have to prepare report for every problem we solved) is already Sunday morning. Can even hear the cock , making its morning wake-up call. Decided to head for dim-sum for breakfast and after that head back str8 to my bed and sleep throughout the whole afternoon.....again!...sigh...And i have to cancel my other 2 sunday classes . There goes my side-income....sob sob....
Anyway, here i am now, supposedly a holiday for all employees, but not for me. Just one more day to go, before my on-call duty for the week is done!! YIPPIE!!!!! partay time!!! hahah. looking forward for the subsequent weeks ahead. Lots of things are in planned, from gym to movies outing. Yeap, summer blockbusters is just round the corner guys. These years they are quite a number of supposedly big movies in the pipeline, from Mission Impossible to X-Men, from Superman to Pirates and the Caribbean, just to name a few. And to start of this frenzy, moi have the priviledge to be one of the first few ppl to watch the premiere of Mission Impossible 3, tomorrow night!! All thanks to the Nokia ppl for their kind generous offer. heheh...yw2k, don't worry, i'll definiately tell you how did the movie fair after the show. Infact i will write my review for all the summer blockbusters for these year in my blog these time. yeah!!! My own review, with my own thoughts. So here we go guys....Let the show begin..........
