HAPPY 1 YEAR POLE DANCE ANNIVERSARY

It seems like a long time, but effectively, i have only learnt pole for 1 year. Pretty good progress for someone not very athletic.

SEPT 2005

SEPT 2006

(yes, these have been here before, but are my fave pics now)

Adding to my heavy schedule in Sept, I have just confirmed another 3 day road shows, each night x 2 shows.....and again it's for car launch....yippee.....i love doing things like these

IF YOU LIKE THE BAR CHOR MEE, YOU GONNA LOVE THIS

Gosh! These guys are so bl**dy creative....check it out, the "HARMLESS PODCAST"

http://www.mrbrownshow.com/?p=197 (takes a while to load)

I had to learn from my 13-year old niece that this "hump" song is currently a top hit by Black Eye Pea.

Sis, you being the super sharp one, can you hear what was said at -1.29.

Somemore got "you don't want everybody to be singing the same note"...hahahaha

Anyway.......since when meesiam got "hum"?

In case you have not heard the bar chor mee or want to hear again http://media.putfile.com/Ba-Chor-Mee

SICK OF MY POLE DANCING YET?

I hope not cos this is me dancing just a week after discharged from hospital.....well, not quite well yet... my body still quite weak and chill easily with temp change. But still feel a need to practise, if not I cannot catch up. My friend Brenda says if people don't know me will think i'm on steroids. Haha!

So you will see some tiredness there. The vids link are here if you wanna watch.

When I don't load on Youtube you know it's not very well already. Anyway watch only if interest you cos i can understand as a non-pole dancer, you'd probably find the videos looking the same. But actually not, cos, each time i find the execution of some same moves better. Than you try to combine more than 1 stunts without your feet touching the ground during the transition and it gets more challenging each time.

Also some new photos. I'm sure you have seen me in this pose stunt umpteenth times, but each time the background very busy, so i kindof like this one, and also the pose is getting nicer, don't you think?

Anyway, again these pics taken myself on self-timer camera. Heehee, good eh?

This pose is called the hip hold, like an upside down teddy bear. Wish i were smiling tho, hope to perfect this soon

I think i have at least one other new friend who will appreciate these, verybelly from HK whom i knew thru the forum. Say hi, she belly and pole dancers too!

HOW? MY MUM STYLO OR NOT?

..........for goodness sake, NOT the one on the left. Yes, confirm, my mum's the one with full costume and make-up. And for your info, she's over 60 years old hor! So proud of mum (pic taken last weekend)

TOR-LONG..WHERE GOT TIME TO CHECK OUT PEOPLE'S BF!

....Hahaha...yes, you know who I'm talking about....... anyway, pass lah, pass lah, solely based on your recommendation, Ms Sin..heehee......WG, are you with us?

I want to k-po, but no time la, this is my Sept Schedule for now (hope it doesn't send me back to the hospital) ......meow.......looks like you have another month to derive satisafction from your cat mountain king liao....difficult for cake time!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

A well-dressed mandarin-speaking man walks up to stop you, tells you he arrives from China to meet a relative/friend here to help him find a job, only to realise the friend/relative has left the country and will return only like in 2 days. Meanwhile, he has dropped his wallet and has no lodging and money for meals and ask you for merely $5!

2 months ago, i had this encounter and the minute i hear the dollar sign, i excused myself and walked away......an act that sent me down guilt spiral at least for the rest of the day......I shouldn't have listened to his story because what if it was real.....it was only $5 that he needed.....then what if the story is fake and he is just preying on my kindness...$5 is hell lot of money for doing nothing, even visually-impaired uncle has to sell tissues for 3 packets $1 and ever so many people reject him, and my foot reflexiologists gets only $10 from rubbing your feet for 1 whole hour! I couldn't stop thinking if i were really in those shoes would i get any help. Had i been unkind......

Last nite at Tiong Bahru Plaza, another well-dressed mandarin-speaking guy approached me. I was determined not to hear his story so i just pretended i couldn't speak mandarin. As i was collecting my car from the side road, i saw he had already cornered another victim. This lady had her purse in hand and i swear she had the same confused expression on her face as i had 2 months ago....should i or should i not? He went on the sob story and she finally relented, not before he walked away looking all victorious and she, confused, wondering if she had been ripped off!. I felt like driving towards her and yell to her "yes, you have been conned, run after him".

I didn't do it. He continued walking in the direction of Bt Ho Swee, i tailed him and watched as he mercilessly approached another 2 ladies (yes, only ladies, he would pass all the men!!! moron) . Thankfully these 2 ladies were not taken in. But he felt increasingly uneasy as he realised a black car was following him. When he finally turned to look over his shoulders and saw me armed with my handphone video camera ready to snap another attempt, he ran towards some HDB flats. When i stepped out of the car and looked in the direction he ran, he had vanished!

Bu yao gei woh zhai kan dao tah!

HEALTHY FOOD IN HONG KONG

This is my least exciting trip to Hong Kong ever, I mean, in terms of food and shopping. After my medical condition and all, i had to ensure i did not burn myself out, so basically, i stayed much in my hotel room watching the favourite Jade (Fei Chui) channel, going out only occsaionally to eat super-duper healthy meals, and visiting ONLY TWO of my favourite outlets (But i still managed to sign away about HK$3500!!)

Anyway, despite my health i still managed a great event (yeah Kitson? with your help, of course)

Here is the super-duper healthy food, and i think Hong Kong is great for that.

First the Yiu Chai (steam oyster veggie......you never get them that green in Singapore)
Then take a look at this yummy rice with veggie cooked inside (like baby food). It came with the pork ribs, but i was happy to eat just the rice.

Lastly, the LOR MAI KAI.....wrapped delactably in lotus leave and see what i found inside... .the whole middle portion of the chicken wing! How wonderful is that!! Had this at the airport for breakfast bythe Cafe de Coral (Da Jia Ler) fast food.

My camera very under-utilised this time.

JUST 24 HOURS BEFORE I FLY OFF.....

.....and i was like this.....

Diarrhorea was so severe i was dehydrated....had to get well before i fly off........

another 7 hours and i'm off. See ya........................

JUST A QUICK ONE

Some of you know that i had a bad stomach virus attack.

So last Fri after my performances i went to my regular china masseues to have my tummy massaged. I usually pay cash. I had no cash that day so i asked to pay by other modes.

Ms masseues pointed towards the basement to say i can withdraw cash from there. I asked if she meant there is an ATM machine? I had been to this place a million times and never realised it had one. Affirming, she said she always sees people withdrawing money from that machine. Me and foot reflex uncle, who was performing reflexiology on another client looked surprised, and uncle stopped his work momentarily and queried in Mandarin "here where got people draw money from ATM machine"?

Again she pointed in the direction of the basement near the exit of the car park. Uncle asked "you mean the yellow colour one?" With all certainty, she said yes. Uncle said " THAT ONE IS TO PAY CAR PARK ONE LAH!"

Heeheehee.

Anyway, will not be updating a while....will be off to Hong Kong to host a show this Thursday. Wee.e..e.e.e.e

LASTEST HOME POLE PRACTICE

You realise how all the songs used for pole and exotic dance has this slow groove, sultry, sexy feel. I've always wanted to try something more high energy (cos i'm not good at stroking and touching myself ala exotic style). So Ms Sin, I used one of your fave song, LADY MARMALADE.

Now i know why pole/exotic dancers seldom use numbers like this, I swear i almost dropped dead after this video


P.s. pole class temporarily halted, that's why practise at messy home. Anyways, this was free style and unchoreographed. Think when my stamina improves, i will put a choreo to it cos, love the song too much

WHAT I CRAMPED IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS

Ok, so i do feel better today. Mindless people out of my sight and mind.....

Besides the usual singing and belly dancing gigs, these were some of the more memorable stuff i did the last 2 weeks

HOST OF MARIE FRANCE BODYLINE ROADSHOWS (3 days at shopping mall)

HOST OF A SUMMIT'S OPENING AND IT'S GALA DINNER

The opening (wah check out how un-suzie wong i look...was told to look not-too-hot-mama )

A new red dress for the Gala dinner because was told to wear their corporate colour

P.S. the summit's the one with the roaches derby if you read in the papers (this is the derby, minus the crawlies)

'SUZIE WONG' FOR A HEARTLAND NATIONAL DAY DINNER

one people, one nation, one Singapore

HOST OF A COMPANY'S D&D CUM BIRTHDAY (with fireworks outside)

The evening ended with a TALL note-Tower Building Game (ala Jenga)

And ....nation celebrated with this company with a fireworks treat

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h97/mingassuziewong/?action=view&current=NDPfireworks06.flv

TIRED OF DEALING WITH STUPID PEOPLE!

I'm up to my neck! I'm so.o.o.o.o mentally exhausted of having to deal with dumb morons like 'G'....again.

I'm sorry, it's another thread of ranting.....but I'm just amaze that there are people like 'G' around....... and listen to me 'G', I'm sorry for people like you because with the way you do and handle things, your future will elude you...forget about your exams, i think you can't be helped academatically too!

SIGH! Ok, I'm done.....just need to let out some steam...... I'm so overworked!

Anyway, for the rest of you, not want to waste your effort visiting here, . SO, for fellow belly dancers, I have least included a clip of the belly dancers hired by the organisers for the 2 weeks ago road shows which i hosted. They are quite good actually, quite eye candyish. http://media.putfile.com/belly-dance-discovery

I also got permission from The bodytalks who put up this sensuous EXOTIC dance performance at Penny Black to post the following pics . If you want more info about them, visit their website



Oops, the second pic looked like a boob got in the way......sorry, it was only my finger!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE...............

Helicopter flying past

This was the closest i came to watching the the fireworks as i was driving on the highway, taken using my handphone

MIA--I'm upset! Will come back soon

Lot's to update, but I have NO TIME, because of office crisis, again. And I, as the BSBH (bao sua bao hai) office administrator has to take care of it!!! WHY me again?

Last week's events were blood and sweat.....don't get me wrong, they were great, but very very tiring. If you were at Marina Sq shopping last weekend and heard a voice over the PA talking and talking almost non-stop for 7 hours (except for in between performances), that was ME. Apart from the road shows, I gathered enough energy to perform a belly dance show at another event, plus I still managed to bring the roof down at a 2000-strong National Day celebration event. They even gave me an email testimony on it. I have some nice pics of it, but will post next time.

Anyhow, I'm too physically tired to be greeted by an office crisis this morning.........b***dy sh*t! And the person who caused it all, if you are reading it.......i really want to use the most expletive expletives on you. A milder form would be "YOU ARE FULL OF SH*T"....read this G, that's how angry i am with your irresponsiblity!

I think for this week you won't see much of me, will come back when i successfully cremate the problems created by G.

THE POLE'FESSIONAL AT WORK

.......despite a hectic schedule......

Just got the 2 moves that i have been practising hard.....

1) KNEE HOLD-just hanging from 1 knee, no hands

2) SUPERMAN-self explanatory

...next one old stunt, but and i love the fact that my leg hooks are getting stronger and prettier, don't you think?

Btw, excuse me...i took these pictures on self-timer again hor....i.e. set camera, run to pole, climb, stunt and pose and wait there to click...all in 10 secs

Finally, my latest practice video at the studio incorporating some new stunts (but not knee hold and superman cos i achieved them after this video. But i have video showing me get into these 2 somewhere in youtube and photobucket--not posting here cos not very elegant yet! )

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?

It just came to me.......

and i registered it ........

POLE'FESSIONAL ENTERTAINERS

nice rite?

Yeah! I'm an owner of Pole'fessional Entertainers, now i sound like a Hongkonger

GIFT SHOPS

Just this week, i chanced upon 2 interesting gift shops...of different nature.

They were interesting enough for me to whip out my phone camera......(ok, maybe i just boh liao)

GIFT SHOP #1
The first one, a little neat shop tucked at the second story corner of Odean Katong (where's dat?).

Was closed at that time but still managed to buy 2 pairs of nice beach slippers through the neighbouring shop for $10.

Er...you ask how since it was closed? See, the slippers were placed outside the shop, I asked neighbour's shop "hello, they close ah?" She replied "oh! maybe go toilet, never mind which one you one? You take, i help her collect the money" Somemore, give me plastic bag from her own shop to place my slippers......so nice.

GIFT SHOP #2

Late last night, i dropped by Holiday Inn Atrium for a massage, while waiting for my masseuse to return from an errand, i walked around the Shopping Mall side and saw this big poster

Gotto be the "Greatest gift of all to some MANkind............."

Check out some of the pictures......don't pray pray, got go studio one

For the next picture, not sure if you can see the prints at the bottom ......it reads " The course of true love never did run smooth"...........?????? Wah!.....

Did you read the Sunday's article about a Thai man marrying twin sisters?....yes, both of them!

So Chan Po Chu said to Loi Kay "What's so great about that? Want to marry also marry different one la, every night see the same face"

Loi Kay replied " I don't mind having two of you"........

Aww.......

Greed or Compliment? Compliment lah hor?

The student dancers are very talented

6min video, takes a while to download....so have a ben & jerrys first!

CAIRO CAIRO-A Celebration Of Egyptian Dance

A rare opportunity not to be missed.....a chance to learn more about this beautiful Egyptian dance form from internationally acclaimed dancers, choreographers and teachers!

A concert and more (workshops and gala dinners as well) starting this Friday 28 July 2006 at the University Cultural Centre, same venue as i performed last weekend.

Feauturing both popular dancers from Cairo, as well as local dancers.

You can get all the information you need from THIS SITE

TO MY NEW ANONYMOUS READER.......

.....MUAKS TO YOU..............

You left many nice comments on my blog and you make my day!

My last 2 hosting events and especially today's NUS Home coming event went super well. Very tired now, but happy. I still managed a cake session with Meow tonight.....think i deserve an award....for energy, dedication to friends...whatever...just need some recognition!

Just a quick update, another job coming up for me in Hong Kong soon.....weee........but only thing is i have to catch the 1st flight next morning to be back her in time to host another event that starts at 4pm! Help me! Remember my last Shanghai saga, aiyo, MUST make sure WON'T happen again!

Will be doing some photos and editing of the home coming concert...now let me catch my 40 winks first. I will also update on an upcoming cairo cairo concert. In the meantime if you interested, check out Blingalicious blog (at the side link) first.

NO POLE DANCE CLASS BECAUSE OF ME!

Tonight I had a hosting assignment so had to give pole class a miss. Teacher called to confirm I won't be attending class, and then declare no lesson lor! Fwah....I big time or what? Did i tell you because at my advance level, I'm the only student left? Haha.....sure Lin, Jul and Aud and I practice together but except for me, the other 3 are teachers of the dance school. Don't get me wrong, there are many students, but mainly junior levels. Needs a lot of determination to reach advance, if you recall my bruises and bloopers

So yes, i am quite busy with hosting jobs tonight and tomorow (and meow only knows how to complain i never eat cake with her--sigh). And on Sat, I am invited to sing at my alma mater, NUS Home coming concert cum party, and I'm so looking forward to it. It's going to be at the expensive Cutural Centre which is, i heard, very very nice. I graduated long before this was built, so never seen it. Surely will do videos and pictures. I heard 1000 people turning out....see if i can bump into any old flame, maybe they now podgy and thinning hair....hahahaha! I want to impress....i want to perform Shakira, JLo, Spears, BUT was requested to do retro...duh!

Tonight my gig was at Tower Club. Nothing much except for this photo i tried to take--the night scene from 62nd floor. The best i managed

Must hint for new camera already

AMUSE YOURSELF WITH THESE VIDEO CLIPS

I may be busy (hosting and singing for next few nights) but i have time to find these clips to entertain you. This has become so popular in Youtube




And this next one.....very sexy n NICE.....and guys, don't you just wish you were the bus conductor!

MY NEW HERO

Saw this Euro bungy the other day (you must have seen it some time back at the open space next to UOB Orchard and opposite Specialist Centre where people strapped on the a harness and started bouncing on a trampoline).

Was just thinking to myself.........what luscious poles, and had an urge to climb one of them.

My thoughts were interrupted when the bungy operator climbed at least 12 feet of that thing in lightning speed to dismantle on of the stringy rubber that strapped to the harness. Wa! So macho and and he did it in jeans! Did i tell you I need a lot of skin to climb that thing without slipping?

LINKS TO LATEST VIDEOS AT A GLANCE

I have done myself yet another favour, by putting video links of some of the recent shows at the side bar.

Altho i have done it many times, as you can see from the date, this Singing Belly Fusion Act took place only last week. A very nice youtube person has very kindly commented that my singing was crap, yes, i don't disagree. There were no monitor speakers for a big hall like that. So i can't tell if i was yelling or going off-pitch. Anyways as always, i (and the audience I think) had a good time and that matters. These is a testimony:

Wah, i was even ousted to the far corner to give way to them

OMG, look what I'd found:

Hahaha...cute!

Anyway, Suzie will be too busy to update for a while. I have various MC and singing assignments in the next 2 weeks and have so much to prepare. No new pole tricks for the time being, so be good, til my next update

BEST POLE PICTURES EVER

There was a request to post other pole dance pictures here. Ok, i get the hint, you seen too much of me. Ok, so here goes.

There are many nice pole pictures of international polers, but these are by far the most beautiful ones i have seen. She is Elena Gibson (Miss Pole Dance UK 2005).

Funny how i can do all these poses but they just look so bl**dy different! Oh, oh, i know what's the difference. I just read that she started pole dancing in 1997. Ok, so i have 8 years to catch up! But anyway, she is classically ballet trained so even in 80 years i will not have the poise, flexibililty etc. What i love of her is she is very versatile, from her other pics, she combines pole-ballet dance mix to various themes, eroica, broadway, ala james bond or charlie's angel, sexy pop chick, caberat moulin rouge type. My favourite was a black vnyl tight top and slacks and kick-ass boots and black sun-glasses, very chic (sorry i don't have the pic, you just have to imagine). And who can pole dance in those pants baffles me.

So Elena, i hope you are ok for me to post them here, these pictures are beautiful i just have to share.

PHOTOS FROM MY LAST PERFORMANCE

OH, the slide works, Brilliant! (sometimes-due to some html error, takes a while to load, there r about 10 to 12 pics)! Pics blurry because extracted from the video (video is in the last post)! If slide doesn't work for you, i've also uploaded it http://www.myspace.com/worldofsuziewong

SO, you may think i am obsessed with myself or something....the fact is i AM quite pleased with my last performance. If you have worked that hard in less than a year, you would too. I started learning in september 05, so effectively only 10 months of poling only. By my 1st year anniversary, i will treat you with my 1st pole photo.....very laughable......hahaha.

OK, promise, next post will be something else or pole pictures of some other people, just to prove to you i am NOT egocentric..haha...i have just some of the best pole pictures of a poler called eleana coming up next.

LASTEST POLE DANCE VIDEO

So i contemplated everyone's advice and worked on them:

1. wear a skirt--appears sexier (i did)
2. straighter legs (sis, i tried, but not successful always)
3.slow down movements and dance more, and exude sex appeal (i tried, your verdict?)

thanks everyone and i hope you see my effort:



4 min video, so please be patient with download.

Small audience but you can tell we had a POLE LOT OF FUN

POLE DANCE PERFORMANCE JITTERS

You know how i hate the fact that in pole performance you have little control over your physical state, how slippery the pole can be due to air-con weather whatsoever. Unlike singing or belly, even if you are vocally tired or physically tired you can still pull thru a show.

Ok, so i have my next pole performance tomorow (was all the while yippee about it) and i thot of doing some practices. Just before my singing cum belly gig tonight, i felt physically good and by the look of my improved teddy bear(yes i wanna show off this video now that it's higher up the pole and the dismount is nice--but pardon the unglam wiping of the armpit), you know i feel soooo strong.


But after my gig tonight i came back exhausted and i couldn't do any nice moves. You know how the bloody pole seems too smooth for any stunts when your muscles are fatique. And i keep doing the same spins. Grrr.

Ok, I'm not goning to practise anymore. Gonna rest and just do my best tomorow. Funny how i get this jitters for pole performance and yet i so badly want to do them!

And Nguy, thanks again for the compliment on my no-more-than-3-ft legs...haha. And you cheer me reading your comment. Agree about pics, i'm actually very ah lian ah huay

TEDDY BEAR

To Nguy who has been visiting my blog and commenting, i wanna say Thank You.

To your comments, I totally agree, no arguements; which explains why This

Trust me, i'm more anxious to work on being more exotic than anyone else.

But I must admit the being able to execute new stunts gives me the adrenalin rush. You have no idea how empowering it is for a woman of my age (I'm not telling, but not young) who have no acrobatic, gynast, not even ballet background to discover the ability to do all these. Honestly, in real performances, most of these moves are not very executable anyway. For example the next one which I just managed over the weekend called Teddy Bear (looking at it, you will understand its name...ooh Kawaii......

....Again, not the most flattering picture that's why I post small small pic.) This move is relying solely on the grip of ONE ARM-PIT and a little of the back of the thigh. A performance of this nature inevitably will activate those sweat glands, including at the underarm, so how to do this move?

Anyway Nguy, by looking at some of my sexy mama pictures in my performance slide, i hope you have faith that i CAN be a little bit more sexy than my practice video..Hahaha.

Anyway, really appreciate. HUGS to you.

YESTERDAY ARMS FELT SUPER STRONG...

....so i attempted the Inverted V. You can see how difficult it is from the video.

Imagine doing a hand stand, split your legs, get the balance, but now all your weight is on bottom hand on a pole...get it?



Photo very unflattering, so i post a small one here (usually my photos very big)

I did a couple of other strong arms move, one's called the flag (u can imagine what it's like) and one called flaoting fairy, but have yet to improve on them.

Anyone wants to arm wrestle me now? Bwahahaha !

Oh yah, and Sis, my legs are straight now! Can?
