Q: How come you didn't join the class ?
Me: I thought the class is in TTDI(but, its in LH, duh!!), so, I didn't join lor.
S(tatement): See my (latin)shoe. The straps are coming off already and I have only 1 pair.
But, I brought along another pair, just in case.
Me : LOL(apa lah!!)
Q: Where's your new shoe?
A: Oh!! It's on a holiday..
Me: 
Me: What you looking at ar?
A: Just peeking here and there.. the dress so sexy lar
Me: Blocked by people, how to peek ? Go up there and get a clearer view lah

I'm in the Borderline Salsaholic category 
..
Take this test to see which category you're in.
A movie loaded with yummy salsa songs+biography of Puerto Rican salsa pioneer(Hector Lavoe)+popcorn+cosy sofa(all provided by Salsa Havana) = how I spent my Sunday evening yesterday.
If only the script of 'El Cantante' have less F*** words in them. Now I definitely understood why it won't be shown on the big screens in Malaysia.
After the Censorship Board beeped out all the F*** words, you'll only hear great salsa songs + a few sentences here and there. And I do believe that you won't be able to see any subtitles for this film either, cause, how on earth will you be able to translate all the conversations with constant beeping(F***) here & there?
There is a bright side of this movie as it does introduce a lot of Lavoe's salsa songs to the audience. I especially love the self-titled soundtrack itself, El Cantante.
If you wanna know more about this movie, just go here.
Well, gotta go & get the soundtrack of this movie; if I can find it in one of the record stores here.
Is today(referring to yesterday) Saturday or Friday ?
I practically woke up late, lepak at home the whole day, read mags, uploaded photos & have dinner at home before going to Little Havana(used to do that when we had LH on Saturdays instead) 
.
HS: how come you're late? You're normally early.
Me: Holiday mar.. so, lepak a little bit longer at home first 
.
Surprisingly, I didn't make wantan nor cough much last night. Must be the salsa thingy making me better(or could be due to the LoHonGuo infusion doing its magic).
DJLee played a salsa in Mandarin: Qing Ren(Lover) around 11ish 
.
Nope, me didn't dance to this song. I bet I'll be singing the whole song when salsa-ing to this number.
So happened, we're celebrating DJ Lee U Joe's & Andrew T'ng's birthday too.
Seldom can we see Joe out of the DJ Console area, unless there's a guess DJ. So, this is a perfect night to dance (albeit, a short one) with him.
Did I do the birthday dance with Joe or not? Gosh!! My STML is really bad nowadays. No pictures, cos nobody brought camera/s... ishh..
Asked Uncle James for a merengue, and my hairband decided to drop itself. I just put it in my hand & continue dancing with him till the end of the song.
After that, I tied the (falling)hairband to my wrist when I was about to salsa with Mambojays,
Salsakaki@UncleJames(walked over): How come you didn't tie the hairband when dancing with me just now?
Me: (Grinning sheepishly)Me tie it up now to prevent it from falling off my hair again mar.
(Jangan marah ye Uncle James. I'll put away me hairband the next time round 
)
Salsa-ed to No Me Ames. Quite a challenge, cause its a slow number(as slow or slower than Yamulemau) & I can't help singing along to these songs while dancing.
The surprise of the night is of course the Berjaya song , just cause its a Merdeka (Holi)Day. Salute to Joe!
Updates for Little Havana(courtesy of DJ Lee U Joe):
Salsa is on every Friday in September - 7/9, 14/9, 21/9 and 28/9.
Have been a blur sotong for the past few days(post MSF syndrome).
1. Forgot where I put my pen, forgot to charge my batteries, forgot how to write scripts & which table to extract datas from and
2. The ultimate blur-ness : (the sign on a bus' door)
BERKHEMAHLAH DI JALAN RAYA. SELAMATKAN NYAWA
Camp on the road to save lives ? 
Yup! It's translated as CAMP ON THE ROAD. SAVE LIVES.
My brain captured it that way for more than 10 minutes. And just a few a seconds after I rang the bell to get off the bus, it appeared clearly as
BERHEMAHLAH DI JALAN RAYA which means, BE COURTEOUS ON THE ROAD 
What difference a K makes .
Luckily I don't drive. If not, I'll have to put this sign on the car:
BEWARE! BLUR SOTONG DRIVING *_*
Too lazy to type so many things. For now, it'll be pictures posting time only.
My first MSF(I missed last year's).
We departed from Sentral like 40 minutes after the scheduled time(talk about Malaysian Rubber Time)!!!
The interesting part is where our buses were escorted by the polices from Bidor to the hotel itself. Felt like VIP leh.
We made a smart choice for this festival(learned our lessons well from the previous SISF).
Less workshops & more rests(zZZZz) to make sure we have enough energy for the dancing later.
Not that we ended up dancing the nights away. My roomie & I ended up chatting till 4am instead.
Took a few workshops(3 per day ain't that bad): musicality-on1 & on2(basic only la), sexy movement(where the guy have to give the girl a sorta lap dance), Brazilian Samba, Turn pattern/s & spinning technique.
Shimmy Steven had a workshop of his own during dinner(where we feed ourselves & fattened those mosquitos at the same time) - mosquito bachata & mosquito shimmy(gotta clarify with him again).
CL, AL & moi even accomplished the mosquito shines. Caution, this move can only be perfected while having dinner outdoor, preferably near a lot of trees & with minimal lightings.
And managed to hop into a reggae-ton workshop by the pool too. Darn good exercise for the abd & shoulders.
Didn't take photos on the 1st day at Lumut, but took a lot(well, not as many as Uncle James - almost 2000 woh he said) on the 2nd & last day.
Credits goes to these suddenly-ter-appointed photographers: Jason, Roger, Gina, Chiow Er, DJ Othman, Chin Lai & Sean. 
Hope I didn't missed out anyone's name. If yes, please let me know yeah!

Went for the KLDA Dinner and Dance last Saturday.
I never did noticed the venue when I stayed in Taman Muda Cheras 2 years ago. So, I was really surprised that KLDA is just across my old apartment.
The dance floor was nice and quite big with lots of seats still empty as we arrived at the door at 7pm.
Had crash courses on slow waltz, rumba, foxtrot and jive 
courtesy of Hock Siew, Steven Yap(he got us into this D&D), Joseph and Calvin(I think...STML working overtime again) .
I practically need to remind myself the basic steps when dancing the slow waltz(a bit different from Viennese waltz woh): don't use the leg that you've used earlier. Must remember: right leg used already, don't use. Left leg used already, don't use.. Ish!!
Steven was so nice to ask Joseph(the DJ that night) to play a couple of salsa songs for us cause he knew that we(Brenda & I) are still beginners in the ballroom/latin dances and we're more used to doing salsa.
Dinner was just your normal snack food, ie meehoon goreng, nasi kunyit(yellow rice), fish curry, yam cake & other stuffs. Not that we're complaining cause its quite what we've expected due to the ticket is only RM25 for that particular night.
Watched a few performances: cha cha, samba, tango and waltz and I'm quite impressed with the younger couple(below 16 only leh). They did the cha cha & samba with such finesse and they can really move their body ohh!!
Did a rumba with Joseph and before we could finish, he gotta go and change the CD again . Ish!! So potong steam loh, but as he said, no choice lar, me went back to my seat to wait for another dance-able(one that I know how to dance to lar) song.
Was pleasantly surprise when a merengue & another salsa song came on the air again. Joseph played a bachata number too. 
That's a big surprise. Merengue I understand, but, bachata woh?!?!? Nevertheless, its fun to hear the oh so familiar bachata song.
Party ended at around 11.30pm and me went off thinking: unable to go to SH or LH, but still can salsa, some more merengue & bachata 
Had a snack/drink session at Old Town Kopitiam where we chat about dancing and stuffs.
Wonder when are they going to organize the Dinner and Dance again. Hope it won't be too long a wait.
A quiet night it was in Salsa Havana last Saturday.
Was contemplating earlier that day whether to go to SH or not, but I didn't regret making the decision to get my fix of salsa(mission # 1).
Salsa-ed to 5 songs(above my expectation) in a row, since there wasn't that many a salsera in the club for the guys to dance with.
It was almost 11ish when a few more salsero/as started to appear.
Then, I noticed a certain salsero mambo-ing away to Martin(Reyes)'s selection of moderate salsa music. I absolutely love the way he dance with another salsera too. Not a lot of fancy moves, but mostly mambos, then a brief viejo, a turn(or two) for the lady and mambos again. 
I kept watching him almost the whole night, hoping to have a dance with him too.
Suddenly, there was a malay(Indonesian) salsa song being played. Interesting lyrics, with a lot of sakit hati(malay for heart aches) in the lyrics. Why is the heart aching during salsa 
?? Beats me. But its a nice song to dance/listen to.
Walked straight up to Martin and asked(mission # 2) him what's the name of the song, and he showed me the CD cover(can only see the Title of the album, can't find the name of the songs on it lah... ish ish). Was told that he got the CD from a friend of his(from Indonesia I guess) and I won't be able to find it in KL. 
Before leaving the club, I finally braved myself to ask(mission # 3) the salsero(mentioned earlier) for a dance as I again noticed that he's dancing alone to a nice number. Its mambos, viejo(yeah, I did the 'old man walking' too) and mambos again, but I like it.
Me = 
during the whole dance and on the way home too 
.
** 2 days only to accomplish another mission(owe someone something lar )
