Cravings


Have a sudden craving for cinnamon roll and tiramisu.

Hope I can get the cinnamon roll tomorrow ;). Getting the tiramisu is the tough part though. Can't find any restaurant(s) in KL that serves a DELICIOUS one.

Walking In The Rain


Was stuck in SH till 1am this morning due to the heavy rain. Already tired at that time, I just made up my mind to brave the rain(with my trusted umbrella) to go home.

Grabbed a cab and when I reached my apartment, decided to walk in the rain from the curb to the entrance just to feel the rain falling on me with the wind blowing nicely. Ahhhh!!! Such a breezy and nice feeling. Reminded me of a song titled Walking In The Rain and also when I was in Tioman way back in 1997. The cool & breezy air blowing at my face..

Wish its August now, so that I can be at Lumut enjoying the beach and wind(with some rain I hope)

Me Poor Ankle

Was just saying the other day that I've found a cure for a strain ankle. Guessed I was wrong to say so soon.

Went to see Doctor just a few days back. One press and the verdict is: "hmmm...you've got a sprain tendon... it will really hurt."

Me: "really ar ? need to avoid any food ?"

Dr: " no need. Just don't put pressure on that foot? Avoid walking"

Me(thinking deeply): Huh??!!?? Avoid walking? Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.orgWho's gonna carry me around?"

Dr: ".. give u some muscle relexant, pain killer & ointment.. remember, don't walk too much yeah..Want MC ?"

Me(talking to myself): "Doink!!! How not to walk ar? but MC sounds good.. Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org"

So, was on MC for a day.. Then, walk around like an old woman for a few days after that and still went for salsa on Saturday(what we call in Malay, cari pasal, ie looking for trouble!!).

Felt much better after a few turns and (forced)spins. Me think it helps as a form of physiotherapy.

After a day's rest, felt much better, but still need to wear me ankle guard to protect it till it healed well. Sigh....

Really Addicted to Salsa

Went for my relaxing session today and decided to get a bag for myself . Saw a shop on the 5th floor of Times Square.

What attracted me in the first place was the display of the clothes. But, the minute I stepped in, I was lost in the song aired in the shop.

Yup, it was a salsa song. Instead of checking out the clothes/bags, I stopped to listen to it. When it finished, the second salsa song came on air. Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org A shop that air salsa songs continuously.

Got me self a nice bag and at time of paying,

I asked the lady owner: "Is this your own CD? Where did you get it from?"

After I got the info, I went off, but I walk back in again and

ask her: Can I have a look at the CD cover?

Just to make sure that I'll be getting the correct CD. It turned out that I've just recently purchased that same CD(which I've yet finished listening to). Time to finish it nowSmiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org.

A Salsa Nuts' Cure For Strain Ligament

Can't recall how I got me self a strain ankle ligament 2 days ago. But, it sure is painful.

Can't even sit and sleep properly because of the pain. Forced myself to go to work yesterday. I regretted my decision the minute I stepped down from the stairs outside my apartment. It's like someone is pulling and twisting your ankle every time you step down a stair.

Managed to persevered at office till 8ish and had dinner. Was struggling with myself the whole day, should I go salsa or should I just head home to rest my poor ankle?
Well, for those who know me well, yup, I did go salsa last night.

And thank goodness I went to salsa, cause after 1/2 a song of rueda and 2 salsa rounds, the pain and most importantly, the strain is gone. Isn't that a miracle or what?

I've finally discovered a cure for strain ligament.. heheh.. but, before anyone ever try this method, do remember to rub counterpain on the injured area 3 times a day(yes, I'm allowed to apply this gel-like medication in the office), wear the ankle-guard and try to walk as normal as possible.

Plus a few rounds of salsa(NO SPIN ALLOWED) and rueda, you'll be miraculously cured.

A Nite to Remember!

Went for my usual salsa fling yesterday at LH and what a night.

Had a real great time, great laughs, one little mishap(my bad) and a not so nice feeling towards certain people.

Reached the club at 9.30pm after dinner with a colleague and her friend. She wants to bring her friend to check out what is salsa(and of course check out any leng luis- chinese for pretty babes).

Sat for a few minutes and lo and behold, saw a fellow salsero having on the most 'entertaining' attire for salsa. I still can't forget that scenario, or particularly the attire.. I laughed & laughed(I hid it pretty well, though my trusted salsero did ask me, why I keep smiling one kind?) like a nut case the entire night because of that. And am still laughing to date. Any medicine to cure this laughing/smiling frenzy ??

Salsa went on as usual, we celebrated a salsero's and a salsera's Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org with a birthday dance. Had a share in the birthday dance and cake too.

Before end of the night, I've decided to ask a salsero for a dance. In the rush of going over the other side of the room, I bumped into a salsera. Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.orgAnd I'm the one who keep on reminding my friend(s) not to walk around when the music is on with people still dancing. Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org

While waiting for my transport home, had a short chat with a fellow salsera(a senior and not from the same school) . She said I danced very nicely.. Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org Was on cloud nine after that. It sure is nice to receive such praise after putting in the effort for something I like.

While on my way home, my dear transport manager told us that he danced with a certain salsera. In the midst of the dance, the lady asked: are you a beginner? Beginner 1 or 2 ? Mind you, she's asking these questions as if the salsero is not up to her standard. The first thing that crosses my mind: Smiley courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org..why are people so rude? Aren't we all beginners in the first place? Is it really that bad to dance with a beginner when you've reached improvers level or may be intermediate level? This kind of people are the ones that kill the shy and timid beginners. I wished I could give this person a piece of my mind about her attitude on the same night. But, then again, I only have one mind, if I give it to her, I'll lose mine. So, the best solution is, let her be and we'll see how many other salseros she can dance with in the near future. As what I always say: What goes around, comes around. I bet the other salseros who got questioned this way will not dance with her in the future.
