BELLY DANCE VIDEO

Honestly, I woudn't say I was very happy with my drum solo but I'm gonna show you the video anyway. I edited just a short part and uploaded on Youtube. Here's the link . Are you goning to think I'm crazy to upload on such a public site where there are so many superb belly performances? The truth is I donno how to upload here in blogger so the only way is to link. There are lot's of crazy people in Youtube anyway. Hahaha....yeah I'm hooked on that site

MONKEY BUSINESSES

It was a whirlwind weekend juggling so many things. I did some hosting, singing gigs and mostly, i braved my first drum solo. Well, it went ok, but nothing to rave about , so not sure if I would put up the video. Maybe after i edited some clumsy parts. Ha!

Of course other than my regular work, gigs, church, I still managed some time to catch the last bit of my mum's opera performance on Sat, had supper with her & dad, celebrate her birthday on Sunday,

visited foot of bukit timah hill and east coast park and had dinner at the ECP hawker centre on Sun with a friend. My sis always asked me where i get my energy!

I chanced upon "Hindhede Road" situated at foot of Bt Timah Hill, when leaving Autobacs at Bt Batok (supposed to get something for my car), and I remembered I once had a secondary school friend, Penny who used to live in her granny's zinc house there. A group of us would go there after school to do projects at her place and after that, run out to a stream near by to catch tappoles. It was really scenic, serene and totally natural. Today, the place is so transformed with rows of modern town houses and terraces occupying the place and scores of people were there to either climb the Bt Timah hill or see some show houses. But what really amused me was that the place is now heavily populated by my other family.................


this .....................

Hahaha, there were so many of them you wouldn't turn a corner without bumping into a family of them, complete with papa, mama and babies. I thought this one was cute because she reminded me of how I look in the morning (did i tell you I was born in the year of monkey and I like swinging on a pole??) This chap just stared straight into me unperturbed when I snapped the first pic, than yawned, scratched her ass and got down. What happened next makes me regret i wasn't armed with my new nokia phone with video. While she calmly strutted away, another fella just came from behind, grabbed her rear and humped her like 5 to 8 times and then they parted. SO SCANDALOUS!!!! Hahaha. No wonder there are so many of these

Later in the evening, I went to EC Park for dinner, not before i practised some pole stunts at home ( inspired by my fellow siblings climbing up and down the trees). Have you heard about the new Cable Ski Park? Gosh, it was a pretty sight at night.Don't ya think?

To end the hectic weekend, I treated myself to my favourite salt-bake crab (Yim Gok Hai) from a favourite stall at the hawker centre. Sis, you want to know where you can find this also?

Yumm.....

WORLD GOURMET SUMMIT 2006

Nothing much happened cos I had a nice 2-week break .....with nothing much to do, no gigs, no singing, no hosting and no pole......and I had a really nice Easter weekend spending with family and friends.....and lots of eating. Re-count what I did....I had:

1. cakes and coffee at Canele with Meow --the Caramelo.....yummmm...
2. spotted this cute giant easter egg and bought for my nephew & niece

3. Had easter lunch at green house at the ritz carlton with family and dinner at the no signboard at ECP
4. Took chubby niece to bakerzin. See how happy we were (altho meow says i look tired....geez....coming from someone who always have sleepy eyes! cheh!) (Oh by the way, finally bought a new phone, the Nokia 6280, these 2 pictures took from the new phone)

Don't I just look so BLISSFUL??? Huh? huh? Meow?

5. And last but not least.....I got invited to more feast at the WORLD GOURMET SUMMIT "meet the stars" The celebrity chefs were the stars...but i know not them....I was only interested in the food! Thanks my darling 'K' for inviting, you the sweetest!

At the party were also Darryl David, Mark Richmond, Hamish Brown.....sorry no Tatler-type photos...I was busy savouring the food. The invite says Dress Code : Casual Chic but......

????Maybe she came from a Ball.....

Anyhow, it was enjoyable and I pestered my way to be invited next year (wink).

After all these feasting, finally will be back at work this weekend. Will be performing for some 100 delegates at a welcome dinner at this nice exclusive 2-level office pent house. Nice not? Will be attempting my drum solo!

It's double storey, the steps leading up to the 62nd storey!

That's me recce-ing the place!

Hope to post some pictures after the event, and if possible, video too.

INSPIRED!

After watching so many inspiring belly dance videos on Youtube, I have finally gotten down to choreograph a drum solo, which i will be performing next week.

Previously i avoided drum solos because you got to know the piece really well in order to execute the accents correctly. I just stuck to veils because can 'gasark' a bit, like this one. Just lots of figures 8, myans, snake arms and some shimmies

Anyway, time i do a new choreography, but you know it's so difficult when i have to juggle between memorising songs (utimately i'm a singer right?) and now that t'm also doing the pole!


These photos from a recent event.

ANYONE WATCHED MS SINGAPORE UNIVERSE?

Did you all find the results a little hmm....mixed up? Anyway, I wanna kill myself. I was there watching live and I DIDN'T BRING THE CAMERA!!!! So no pictures to post! I was still living in the era thinking mediacorp does not allow handphones or cameras into their studios but so many people were clicking away...brr.....

Anyway, everyone was there, Sandy Chua, Bernice Wong (previous winners in case you don't know), Denise Keller (judge), Pierre Png (naturally since the wife was hosting). But I think the steal of the night went to the twins-May & Choy. Heard about them but first time watching them, and live somemore, and I must say they are georgeous with lots of youth and a touch of Christy Chung bambi looks and class. And my.....can they really memorize their lines. I guess that's the forte of MTV VJs. Both of them rattle on their lines flawlessly, alternating between each other (and mind you, live recording means no NGs and no re-takes), without a glitch. You can see that even the charismatic anchor Adrain Pang fumbled at certain parts, but he made it up with his loads of wits.

Anyway later at the post reception I got to really see everyone up close, including all the finalists. And I must say Denise Keller is really beautiful, even though I'm not a fan of hers. But you know what? With Denise, May & Choy and some of the socialites strutting around, I just wondered how come some of our Ms Singapore finalists cannot be even half as georgous as them. Theses should be the minimum standard.

CALLING FELLOW BELLY DANCERS......

Download these 2 videos......very nice dancing......one is graceful and subtle and the other one full of vigour....but both very nice.

1. Graceful Belly dancer
2. Aliya

Stumbled upon this when I was trying for fun to download my pole dance video clip on You tube (didn't know it was quite easily done). Can you believe that, within the 1st hour it attracted some 300 over viewers from over the world ....wow! Didn't even have that statistics in one year from my website.....haha....

Just type in the word 'belly dance' in the search and you see loads and loads of other videos.....don't have time to watch all cos some are like 5mins long. Think even got some from Singapore.....they dancers look familiar and have some funny comments too. Ignore other nonsense clips

..........................................later...........................................

oh ok, so I think I've embarassed myself, i'm the swah koo one. As i watched on and now see some REALLY familiar faces, I figured many already familiar site way before my discovery!! Haha.

Anyway like to welcome my new reader, my little friend Sarah! Hello!

SAWADEE

Hosted an event 2 nights ago attended by the Thai ambassador and Governor, so had to don on a Thai outfit. For a long time I had not had to rent a costume because I own most of the stuff, but this is one I really did not have....so I guess a Thai outfit will make it to my shopping list of my next Bangkok trip

Since this is a rented outfit, as you can see, it didn't fit me so well and i actually look quite fat

This another wig I bought from HK, but this only a hair attachment piece where you 'kiap' it to your own pony tail (not a good idea, caused a lot of hair to drop). Couldn't resist taking a picture in the loo again

The event featured also some real Thai dancers, very very sweet ladies, in fact some are beauty queen title holdersAm hesitant to post the photo I take with them cos afraid I will pale standing beside them......but aiyah.....what the heck......post lah

Ok la, I not so bad hor.

It was an official event, so I had to be careful with my words. But I attempted a Thai song to relax the mood, actually got some people singing and dancing along, so I guessed they were thrilled with my song. Anyway, was glad it all turned out well, because you know how all those protocol things just stifle the poor MC.

Last night I did another job which had a much more relaxed atmosphere, a sales conference welcome dinner attended by only 40 people. No photos because although only 40 people, I was juggling everything, the games, the MC, the entertainment!

NICE CURLS

This is one of the new wig i purchased from my recent trip.

Nice right, the curls?

Couldn't resist taking a picture in the ladies room. Hee!

Wah, isn;t time passing so quickly, especially when one is kept busy? Its's end of March already. Oh yah, I have uploaded my pole video here . Sorry, i received complaint that it takes quite long to load but no choice, upgrade your broadband lor! I am thankful it is making quite nice progress and I wish it will make me busier!

PINK BOOTS!

I promised to take pictures of my new ala-converse boots on heels. Call me suah-ku, but I have never seen anything like this. See, got heels one! Wore them for my 60s' show last night.

So when i saw the yellow and the bright green pair I just had to own them also. Tried the yellow pair with this ourfit thinking they would match, but somehow the pink ones nicer, so i ga-rangly wore them for the show instead.....

Satisfied!!

.......Later......added this.....

Meow Meow just called me to say I very "fong soh" (cantonese) because I go carefree vacation....and commented i look very "haggard" in that 1 picture i was in. She must be angry I got time go Hong Kong also never go eat cake with her. Oi, Meow, when i sank my teeth into the "Sai Dor", the only thought that came into my mind was you ok! Told myself you gonna love this sh*t, i even thot of ta-pau for you! But cannot la, ta-pau back wait become not "sai dor"but "si-i dor" yew!

RE-CHARGED!

Went on a short spree to Hong Kong last weekend. Short, very very short, just 2 nights, that's all i could afford, but feel slightly re-charged, although not turbo-charged!

But think i spent a-month's salary on shopping already just over 2 days. Bought some really nice clothes from "Morgan" at times square, all casual stuff, unfortunately nothing for the stage. Also managed to replenish some hair wigs, walked alot and ate lots of tim sum. My best buys of this trip were 3-pairs of ala-converse canvas boots on stilettos, all for less than S$90, that means each pair cost me less than 30 bucks. Reason why i bought all 3 pairs was because they came in bright yellow, green and pink colours. Can you even resist that! Will take a picture later because now they still sitting in my suit case. Haha!

Spent quite a bit of time at Stanley market this time and was amazed to see and try out things that i never used to. First, i found a dingy but crowded coffee shop tucked into a corner, with its facade partially blocked by a fruit shop (see the hanging bananas?). Everyone was like ordering, waiting or eating this thing called "Sai Dor" which i guessed is short for French Toast. I wanted to try it too but was told i had to wait 30mins. So I went off and told myself i had to be back later to try.

So I went on shopping. For those who have been to Stanley you will know that the stuff sold there are very touristy, like artifacts, oil paintings, chinese carvings so i really didn't bother. So i wandered off to other parts and found near the beach these cute little row of old houses that i think housed mainly fishermen, because i saw 1 guy returned from a motorboat with his catch of the day. And my, these houses are overlooking the sea. So surreal!

Besides fishermen, I think some painters live in here judging from the number of galleries there are and judging from houses like this....i swear this one belongs to a painter. Check out the murals on the side of the wall.

Ok, before my tired feet told me it was time to go back to the coffee shop to eat the "Sai Dor", saw this lovely cat belonging to one of the shops...couldn't resist taking a picture.

Time to get back to the coffee shop. Yes, got empty seats and the guy got time to make me my Sai Dor now. First he beat a mix of egg and butter and spread the mix all over a bread. Can you see it dripping?

Then the whole thing went into a wok of oil and deep fried to golden brown. Finished with a slab of butter atop the sai dor, and together with a glass of "Nai Cha-tea milk", .......yum....sinful not?

Above all those other things i mentioned i did, for all of 48 hours I was in Hong Kong, I also managed to a) take the Ferry from Tsim Tsa Tsui to HK island,

b) shopped i) temple street and ii) ladies market (this is one of the streets leading to ladies market...look at the number of people on a weekday! Don't they go home?

iii) went to Lan Kwai Fong and did some karaok-ing (can you believe that...I don't even usually karaoke in Singapore), and iv) found many cute little shops in underground shopping centres like this one (I swear each shop is about 15 to 20 sq ft only)

before it's bye bye to Hong Kong

and back to reality........

In the meantime hope blog works again...test....test....test....test

oh it does!

PRACTISED ANOTHER POLE STUNT

Very soon this will be turned into a pole dance blog. Haha. There's not a day I go by without thinking, or reading or just touching the pole! Even contemplated quitting my job to be full time....no la, kidding....not yet!

I just practised another pole stunt.

This is called the chopper.
Oops, leg kiau-kiau ........
try again,
......there....better.

Suppose to be in this position and spinning....but wait la, cannot spin yet, just practise static already very difficult ok! Suspect this was the move that gave me the strained back.

You will be quite amazed how this pole thingie is catching up quickly in the east. You will know what i mean if you watched last two Sundays' Jacky Wu's program at 9pm. Wah, these 2 Chinese girls handle the pole like Cirque De Soleil. As I continue my search for information on pole dance and pole dancers around the world, found a Japanese model-turned pole dance 'artist' (as she calls it), Lu Nagata. She recently moved to New York, probably to be nearer other pole dancers. She is so beautiful and exotic she is such an inspiration. Now i'm a big fan of hers. I find most of the western dancers too muscular or burly to be sexy, but this Jap lady is ooh-la-la.. And guess what, she has an act with another lady Mayumi Kan and together they do a pole-belly dance fusion(Ms 3A gurl, this may interest you)! Hmm...think i can do both on my own? The belly dancer also damn chio and winner of somthing. Check out her websites www.lupoledance.com or www.lunagata.com
You can read about the belly dancer when we click 'booking shows'.

In fact, the winner of this year's Miss Pole Dance World 2006 (yes, there is actually a world competition on pole dancing) Reiko Semune is her friend, also Jap. Yes, Reiko beat more than 10 other finalists from Canada, UK, US etc etc..... Proud or not? These Asians who are standing tall in this art-form, previously dominated by the westerners(and strippers). In fact more and more are detaching this dance from stripping, not that it matters to me, i think my audience rather see me clothed.

How meow, want to book me for Pole Show Part II at your next event ? Hee! But you know i will never reach the Taiwan girl standard la because she danced 4 years already, and 4 years, tsk tsk, you know how old i will be liao!

Before i sign off for the hard day, something light-hearted......bwahahaha

2 NEW LOOKS

Tried out 2 new images last weekend.

1. Did an event based on "Survivor" theme. Ooh, I love the top. Was supposed to come with a matching uber ultra short skirt with attached G-string, which was so unwearable because butt cheeks peering out. So i cut it and........you see that tie on my head? Haha, yes, it was actually part of the matching bottom....hee! Don't waste mah!

2. Then i did a wedding last night. Wedding couple didn't like what they saw in 'Suzie Wong', so I had to look....er....more human?!?! Haha, basically not so "lian" lah. So i decided to try short crop and coloured lens.

How? So demure right, meow meow? Hahaha. How deceptive! The previous night at a club in Stadium Rd I almost passed off as the mama-san in the first outfit! Hahahaha. Ms Sin, these pictures taken after damage control. Can?

HAVE A BREAK

I gotta admit that i'm mad about pole dancing lately (lately??since day 1!!); I literally eat, breathe and sleep pole dance these days. So naturally I surf anything about the topic when I'm free! While going through that, I stumbled upon some really funny sites with videos about pole dancing. If you have time, check them out and have a laugh.

LINK TO STAIRCASE SEX SCANDAL, ANYONE?

Haha, now that i realised many have watched the tammy nyp video, me looking out for the staircase one. Anyone care to share the link?

Just came home from pole dance class, learn new stunts, very exciting, gonna practice, but i'm taking care not to strain the back.

Love some of my latest show pictures, think can see my body more tone but face needs some anti-aging regime..Ms Sin-lady...HELP!!!


OK, I shall be brave, very hesitant to upload the next one because it reveals the wisdom....ok, make it smaller. Heehee
