Monologue : Wednesday night is like Friday night's little sister.

What a title right?

Yes, I love my Wednesday nights as much as Friday nights now! I've been dancing on Wednesday nights with the Salsa gang at Shivs Grill and Bar, at Bangsar.

Before I started salsa classes, I have been brought to social dance. That was when I got my first taste of the salsa dance scene.

My first thoughts were, "Hey, I did not know this sorta thing existed!" As I saw dancers filled the floor of what was supposed to be a restaurant dining area. I was immediately captured by the ambiance and most importantly, the music surrounding the place.

Blaring trumpets and catchy beats filled the room as I watched men spinning their women and dipping them. It was all so beautiful. But it was also scary for me as it was my VERY first time dancing with people I don't know and the worst part was I knew nuts about salsa at that time! Then again, the people were helpful and patient with me, thus I had a good time.

I've been going social dancing for about 5 months now. And whenever I'm having a bad week or upset, this usually remedies my mood. 

Plus, it's always fun to hang out with the dance buds!

Our Malaysian Bachata Champion, Bani, who lifted me a few inches off the ground with only one arm. XD

And Charms who made my dance experience all the more fun! This was taken after we had 2 to 3 hours of dancing, and still posing for a photo despite being all sweaty and disgusting. Hehe.

Interested to see what social salsa dancing is all about? Feel free to drop by at Shivs Grill and Bar on Wednesday and Monday nights! I promise, you'd feel like you're in a whole other world when you enter the bar. At least, that's how I feel. ;)

Venue : No 64 Jalan Maarof, Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur.

Other than that, I've been busy performing for Yamaha's Woodwind and Brass Fair that took place at Tropicana City Mall last last weekend. It was on for 2 days and I had played on both days, on my electric violin. :)

In other news, I've been seeing a really good chiropractor at The Spinal Joint, at the 10th floor of Empire Shopping Gallery for my silly knees. It appears that I have mild Scoliosis hence affecting my knees some way or another. I've gone for a few checkups and treatments.

 Now, I'm happy to say that I've gone without my braces for 7 days and feeling fine, my knees have seemed to gained back their strength, and I no longer have to walk like a robot. The feeling is awesome. Even my chiropractor is pleased with my progress. Yay! I hope to recover fully soon!

I've also just performed for Malaysia's Hottest Blogger's 2nd Anniversary that took place last Saturday. 

Stay tuned for more updates!!

Monologue : Saturday Night

It's a Saturday night! 

I'm finally recovered from the super long weekend I had last week at Penang with the photography crew for Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge.

Ooh. An update. 

My stupid knees has caused me to rush to the hospital 2 weeks ago to get it checked out. Turns out, I am born with lax joints and wacky loose kneecaps. It was pretty bad two weeks ago and I've gotten braces to correct them and make me feel safe when I walk. 

Despite being called all sorts now, eg. Bionic Legs, Cyborg legs, Armored Legs, Forrest Gump (wtf!), I can't go more than 6 hours without them now. Haha

It was rather bad 2 weeks ago, especially when the doctor told me I couldn't dance for awhile, I bit my lip to stop myself from crying. But they're slowly getting better now. 

Other than that, my Saturday night was initially supposed to be movie night with my buds and Kim, we were planning to watch Step Up Revolution, but places we wanted to go ran out of tickets or the inernet booking just wasn't working! *coughcough* GSC cinema website..

So, I took Kim to the I Darts Gold soft launch at Setia Walk, Puchong tonight! 

A new outfit mixed with what's mine and Kim's. 

High waisted shorts, crop top, blazer and high ponytail. I love my blazer! I've been wearing it alot recently.

You can read the post below about I Darts Quad and what it's all about.
 Tonight I managed to get 2 bulls eye's at my first round!! Super happy. Talk about beginner's luck~

After having a rather slow Friday night, it was nice to be out and chillin' with my lil sis. If it ever looked familiar, whatever she was wearing belonged to my wardrobe! My lil sis looked so grown up and pretty tonight. We got a bit crazy with the camera, indulging ourselves in taking ugly pictures just because there was the DELETE button. XD

Time really flies! This time last week, I was running around at the JW event looking for people and being part of the paparazzi with the crew, and my knees became numb at the end of the night. Eventually they gave way and I collapsed with a "thud" on the floor after the event. Someone was kind enough to pick me up. I quickly wore my braces for the rest of the night. *phew*

Shall definitely blog about my Penang adventure and other events that's been going on!

Stay tuned!
