I am a true entertainer

Today i made a BIG boo-boo during my performance but i still managed to make a recovery. In fact the incident was rather hilarious.

You know how for my "Suzie Wong" showtime I would wear a cheong sam or qi pao (oriental outfit) and later in the set would peel it off to reveal a sexier get-up? I do this at my own accord for variety, not requested by anyone. But for tonight's event, I was specifically requested to do that to suit the theme, something to the effect of "from old to new" transformation sort of thing.

Several songs after, I stripped down to a partial sexy, partial cutesey outfit and while trying to do a backbend on my knees, my hair wig got caught in the rough stage carpet and it came OFF....Oh My OUCH, l bet I looked really silly, I heard sniggers from the audience. My hair bun held up with lots of bobby pins is now revealed, rather unglam.

Well, since the theme was about transformation, I gave it my all. While still holding the microphone and singing, I started using the free hand to remove the bobby pins, removed the hair net which held the hair bun in place, undo the by-now the pony tail by removing the elastic band...ruffled my hair a little and BOOMZ (oops pardon me can't help it..lol), I am now truly transformed into a vamp, singing and performing with va va voom hair flicks which i usually could not do with hair artificial hair pieces

I could tell by now that the audience was rather convinced that it was deliberate and part of the show. When I was done with the show, I picked up the hair piece lying somewhere on the stage and quickly got off stage and started laughing uncontrollably! I was still laughing when I was driving to my next show, thinking, darn, now i have to painstakig put my hair up all over again!

This Sweetie Really Loves Pinics


The minute we laid out the pinic mat by the beach, this cutie PLONKED himself on it. Then he looked eagerly upon us as we descended next to him and he started snuggling up, playing with us occasionally with his paws, chewing our fingers affectionately, and at times rolling onto his back to solicit a tummy rub. About half an hour later, he tired himself out & started snoozing amidst the cool sea breeze.....Ah boy is one happy pet!

Camwhoring

Tell me if there's a better term for it, for I really don't like the word camwhoring. But was exactly what I was doing before my show.
Can put this picture on top of a mooncake box....got a bit of that aura
I guess the slightly dampened economy has left me with a bit more time to do stuff like that since less rushing about from show to show.
This is after the show, and showing off my new top

Retailing

We made these shorts because polers find it quite hard to buy appropriate shorts. They either not fitted to the thighs or some are too expensive.

Since we started making our Acro Polates shorts, we have sold them mainly to our students and occasionally to their friends or sisters who liked the design. They are however, mostly sold during lessons, usually there and then when they decide that the shorts they were wearing were not conducive for pole tricks. So every now and then, Instructor Eunice would peer into my office in the middle of her class to announce "someone wants to buy shorts" and she would leave the follow-up to whoever is in the office.

So today when Eunice made her usual "somebody wants to blah blah" announcement, I just did the usual, took out a brand new piece and handed it to my colleague incharge of sales & admin, thinking to myself, someone wearing wrong shorts again.

Then I heard an unfamiliar voice asking my colleague about "sizes"...I looked up from my desk and saw an even more unfamiliar face.....she's not a student. I walked up to her and offered my assistance. "you buying this for pole dancing?" No, she replied that she needed a pair of black sports short and thought she would drop by buy!!!! Cool!

After the successful sale, my colleague laughed and remarked "wa! can open retail shop already!"

Pssttt: Ms Su Lin, maybe she saw the pole mascot wearing it, too nice...hehe

we love THIS responsibility

A friend recently remarked, with a slight frown "so, it's now a responsibility for you both to take ah boy out every week?"

responsibility yes, but little does he know it is a responsibility we both take great pleasure in & treasure.

For story on how ah boy became my adopted pet, just type the words "ah boy" in my blog search and you will find many posts.

Depressant becomes stimulant

I need to start getting back to bed earlier. This coming week there are at least 2 mornings i need to wake up earlier.

So last night I asked friend to fix me a drink so that I can, hopefully go to sleep with ease. MISTAKE! Must have over estimated my achohol tolerance. Five minutes of downing that 'cocktail', i was not only completely flushed, my heart was pounding. I measured my pulse, it was going at least at the rate of 90/min. I tossed and moaned in discomfort, when i used a mechanical device to read my pulse rate, it read 99!!!! I yelled "I needed a depressant, not a stimulant!

Come'on, show support

Today I read a newspaper article about how Singaporeans are not supportive of local talents who make it internationally, they complain and compare everything from looks to age to originality..etc.

Haven't I already had a taste of that? Not even reached international level yet, just on national home ground, already have parents complaining that we are morally wrong , to people complaining about our looks. What about our time and commitment? They don't care, do they?

It was the exact reason of fear of being jeered at that prevented me from wanting to take part in this International Competition . What if I am not selected...marlu (emabarrassing), I told myself.

After some persuasion, I decided to give it a try, I'm no longer bothered by what people think. Whether i get in or not, it bothers no one except myself and people who who VOTED FOR ME. Those who scoff are probably people who are jeolous of how much guts ( i wanna say balls) you have anyway.

So PLEASE, CAST YOUR VOTE FOR ME if you are proud of the 1st Singaporean even just for trying her luck at an international pole dance competition.

Lame, but just have to do it again!

I've been stalked

yesterday i received a call from a guy who said he saw our pole dancing videos from acro polates websites and he thought we did really well. He asked when he could watch us at our next event and I politely told him we would that any public performances will be announced on our website.

5mins later, he sms-ed to ask if we could be friends. I ignored it, than another 5 mins later he smsed "hello, are you there", when i continued to ignore it, he called another 4 more times with a 5min interval .....scary! Have not heard from him yet but...and hope he got the hint.

Anyway, to digress i have quit making LOW-life "BOOMZ' jokes because everyone's doing it, radio personalities, newspaper, blogs, idol judges etc. but can Ms Low PLEASE stop making a joke of herself, I can't stand it that today that she's still trying making allegations of others backstabbing her. Come'on she has already shown the world she's been a liar and cheater...you think what she says still holds any water? Media please stop giving her what she craves for..ATTENTION!
