A bit of this & that

Hi Blog, its been a while after my 'accident in April. Been too lazy to do any blogging.

Summary(I'll try to make it shortest possible)
:-

1. I still went to Little Havana the 1st week after spraining my ankle(can't dance, but still wanna visit LH) just to chill & laugh(I didn't say 'laugh', my 'Boss did - so bad of him) at people dancing.

2. I'm not suppose to dance for a while, but still manage to attend the Salsa Congress in Penang. I know, I'm siao(crazy in Hokkien). Luckily didn't bought the whole package as I only went for the Saturday party, had fun dancing (exactly 2 weeks after the 'accident') on the sandy beach - 2 dances actually
, with my ankle guard on of course .

The sad part is, I was rewarded by the hotel with dust mites and it was on my injured ankle too. Grrrrrrr!!! I'm so not going to stay in that hotel the next time I'm going to Penang.

3. Went for my usual salsa fixes every Friday after the congress with my jazz shoes on. Can do a few turns & double spin, but no more than that. But I definitely can't do my shines right cause I need to be real cautious. Ishhhh!!

4. Being the bad student that I am, I didn't join(I attended, but can watch only) in my latin dance class, though I wish I could, cause Yukiko was teaching samba then. I totally miss dancing samba & the drills of rumba & chacha.

5. Attended the Ladies Styling On2 by Sally(Gavin's partner) on 07th June. Love the moves & footwork. Did some basic on2 footwork(quite easy to follow & learn) before the styling & it sure is fun. Me gonna convert those moves to On1 count now(wish me luck!!), so that I can apply to both styles. Hope there will be more styling workshops in the future, be it the man or ladies styling.

6.Went for P Ramlee The Musical, loves the stage setting, costumes, the singing(I love the main actor & actress' voice, especially Musly Ramlee's- its 99% like P Ramlee) and dancing. Though they can be more creative when there's technical error encountered during the performance.

7. Had a nice short chat with Sam on Friday about salsa & stuffs & I confessed to him that I love to do shines nowadays more than before, cause it give me more freedom rather than just follow & turn & turn & multiple spins. Am going to heed Sam's advise & try something 'evil'
this Friday at LH.

8. Last but not least for this week's updates, I was spun(lost count how many spins) by VBS(Very Bad Steven) at SH yesterday night & the reason I was spun so much is just because my dress twirl beautifully when I do spins & turns.
Is it a wonder why I don't wanna wear dress or skirt to salsa(other than for real(not dance related) safety reason) ??
