" The cells that fires together,works together." ~ Donald Hebb
In adaption from Anat Baniel 9 Essentials for lifelong vitality method
I was reading up on Move Into Life by Anat Baniel in search for further discovery and perhaps solutions in my journey to overcome pain while enhance my mental clarity in different aspect.
The simple steps of movements she uses where any ordinary people could just follow easily at ease yet provides a step to step guidance and exploration by our own is fascinating. By simple steps we could actually understand how slight movements make an impact towards our daily well-being. Listening to your body by figuring out what aches or pains that you encounter with or without certain exercise could tell you more about what obstacle you have to take away in order to have a progress from there.
Her paradoxical theory "Increasing your power by reducing force" enables us to increase our strength, flexibility and energy opening our senses to daily activities. Learning to Switch on our learning button and being aware of little changing of surrounding through having to pick up something different from stale routines or stagnated schedules.
Subtleties and Variation is what she believes could be self-transforming while working on a slow pace to luxuriate in the richness of experience and feelings garnered at present. Enthusiasm is also the key to turn the small into the great whereby goals set that seems merely possible could be flexible enough to make a breakthrough.
Let free our imagination and say yes to infinities!

New Year Eve 2010
A Lame yet adventurous new year hopping trip I went on. Planned to celebrate the eve hitting the clubs but ended up the plans didn't workout. However,still had some fun celebrating with family and relatives back from the States and also Malacca having a great time savoring the different and unique kind of dishes in the pot-luck session.
Instead celebrated new year eve with Jian Sheng since his down from KL,Jonathan and Rene. A small number outing turned to a disasterous yet interesting adventure making out 3 places before could finally settle for the last destination to enjoy the view of fireworks celebrating the new year countdown. After my family gathering,John pick me up and we headed to QBM thought of catching some performance and coutdown there. Amazing ain't it? NO parking at all. OMG. After trying few rounds in search for carpark around and about the mall. We gave up so headed to E-GATE instead. Along the highway,we see the sideway was filled with strolls of cars. Imagine how huge was the crowd and how NON-safety conciousness we Penangites have taking risks of CROSSING THE HIGHWAY?! I really wonder how people take their life for granted this way,when they start complaining about the shares that burned their pockets.. NO seats left at E-GATE. Darn.. Last destination before we gave up hope on celebrating new year's eve was PENANG TIMES SQUARE. The crowd there was small and environment is bit solemn though entertained by bands from KL,games,music and some jazz numbers by Let's dance studio. Finally,get to spot Julia the obvious ballerina *gigs no offend gurl performing jazz numbers for once. At least something that spice up the atmostphere. First time in my life,getting to watch fireworks display in a near view when the clock strike 12! Displaying different colours and designs simultaneously. Bravo! xD
A night without some beer or liquor just don't feel a whole. So we head down to Segafredo for a jug and played cards agains through the night. Hungy after that so went to Jelutong burger place to grab a bit. A satisfying supper at 4am before I give in to go home having a good late night sleep.Wow! Happy New 2010!

That ONE day Trip
A day trip to Pantai Jerejak after longing to go there since I was form3. Hoping to go there as a family outing but didn't manage to work out till now. Anyway,I'm glad that I joined SS,CY,JK and his bro and gf to pantai jerejak on a SAT that I happen to have no dance class! weee.... An occasionaly break here and there stealing time for an outing I'm craving for so long.The irony of having NO dance class is the best moments yet the most missed moments.haha.
Was informed that the whole package with ferry transport over to the island,lunch and all games except for paintball cost RM60 but they mistaken it for RM20.Another 40bucks broke.lol. Anyway since were there,just took on the ride.I took on Wall Climbing,Archery,Cycling,Flying fox and funniest part is playing basketball on sandy beach on a netball setting ground. It's my 1st time doing wall climbing therefore am really excited about it.Pretty challenging finding the right grips all using the power and strength of our upper body,while the lower body is all about striking your balance. Almost make it to the end,but give up 2 more climbs to reach the top;not to strain my back.Was a good experience though,looking forward t to the next time for it. Archery too was my 1st time,my aiming was precise but due to my left hand lacking in arm strength failed to engaged the arrow in a incontrolled position. Wasted never get to even hit the bulls eye. Gona be waiting for the next chance to take it on! Cycling around the island exploring the bumpy rocky routes is interesting but the bikes which are not well maintained causes all our butts in pain after the whole thing. Playing basketball ruling on a netball sandy beach ground is really stupidly hilarious.As the friction of the grounds slows the running speed and the loop made targeting tougher but still we idiots still running around making the best fun out of it. Joke of the day! but nevermine Its fun!
The scenary was breathtaking,having to view of the factories and queensbay mall not bad for a change though its bit lame. My skin is baked with incompletancy tanning effect. Ouchy the next day,black spots complexion appears yet again.Oh no! Thank you SS for suggesting me to join in the fun,you'd make my day too. :)

BBQ Gathering Dec 09
A nice Bbq gathering we had in dec 09 for ex-hk 07 batch. Thanks to Jun Kit taking the initiative to organize the whole thing for us to get together and catch up after so long since with graduated from high school. Time really flies, its been quite a while everyone have their own agendas after leaving school and hardly had the time to get back in a big group celebrating the joy of uniting and keeping in touch along the way. All materials and food brought by Jun Kit and some help out to put off the fire at around 5.30pm. After feasting, we played frisbee in the night. What an odd experience, couldn't even see properly the direction of the thrown frisbee unless for the one in white. Unexpected incident occured,whereby Chuen Yen was stung by a jelly fish nearby the shore. How unlucky things can be at times? Chatted through the night with some heneikens,tiger and carlsberg accompanying us by the beachside. Later on,we decided to spend the rest of the night in a smaller group in Sunset Bistro since some decided to leave for CC. Ordered some cocktail mixtures and played cards through the night. Great weather,great company and great atmostphere. What more could we ask for instead to be grateful for this wonderful get together. Here we part again till we unite once again ahead in time. Goodbye again and a very good night with another good memory installed.

Penang Jazz Festival 2009
Went for both days of Penang Jazz Festival the very first time taking 2days in a row. Thanks to mom for the treat to this wonderful occassion that I've yet to miss out since the 4th edition of Penang Jazz Festival.Groups flew all the way from USA,Norway,Australia,Thailand,Bangkok and more..
The crowd for both days averagely spreaded out compared to previous years which is compact. Good thing is there's more room to MOVE! Bad thing is looks like economy crisis so takes the toll on events as such. Along with few friends tagged along to explore something new,glad they love it and enjoyed it.Happy to have mom and sharon and aaron's company too!
Love the Bangkok Brother's band as always like every year. Their performance is consistently entertaining with their upbeat numbers and the capabilities of vocalist Hung is ever impressive to all. They are always one of the groups in the festival that gets the crowd on their FEET and start dancing!
Norway-USA band was new,their members made up that combination came up with a new mixture of jazz from both world blending into one genre. Its facisnating ain't it! US dude who was on the piano did some short vocals which was really refreshing.. Love the bassist who led the group.Ooops he reminds me of Cole in CHARMED series..."Belthazor!" *gigs
Michelle Nicole's Quartet had a fantastic show in G-hotel had another fantastic night to in this festival. Michelle's vocals flows melodiously and is so well controlled. Making my stomach twitch at times when I see her hit high notes in just one breath effortlessly yet the sounds came out solid. Amazing! Some motivation for me to work on my vocals. I'm wanting more and more! oh no..
The first time I ever appreciated DRUMS the most after watching the world class drummer James strutting his stuff on that drums. I can tell you that his technique couldn't spot flaws,natural talent for rhythms and it's just ALL ABOUT THE BEATS..
Guess what? I got up and dance through the night too.. haha as usual my legs gets itchy when there's music and especially when in this booming atmosphere!
Just another relaxing time for me,really great I made time for this break. Refreshing yet empowering!
It's the 7th PENANG JAZZ FESTIVAL ppl! What do YOU expect! xD
Waiting for the NEXT Edition the 8TH!

Sun-tanning
Had my sun tanning session along Flamingo beachside,after getting a sun burn working during Penang beach carnival. Went with Dhurga, had our gurly times together. Still waiting to get a bikini as can't really evenly tan my skin not getting more skin exposed. Yet again,another round of major sun-burnt due to standing under the sun without any shade almost 8hours on PFS school field incharge one of the inflated challenger game during Rapid Penang Family Day event. Did Cucumber MASK-ing during the night as feeling the pain on my face. Kind of using cucumber to mask my face few days down the road till my skin heals. Since then, my OLAY spf15 sunblock became my best buddy not wanting another experience being baked under the Natural Oven of God's creation! Now,so in need to shop for one bikini that my aunt said purchasing it as my X'mas gift and cousin gona be getting me few from Aus when she's back for CNY. How AWESOME is that! Can't sit still anymore longer waiting for all.
Hoping to go for next Sun-tanning session,hoping that Fern or Sharon will be free to join me or anyone who's game for it!

Christmas Charity Youth Carnival 2009
Christmas Charity Youth Carnival was held at Autocity by Leo's club PCGHS. A La pointe dancers was invited to perform. We did 5 numbers from Nobody by wondergirls to Grease Lighting and to 2 numbers of Christmas Songs.Only complaints was the sucky PA system, lousy stage-crew not helping shifting the cables away for us dancer to dance and the stage is bit too small for massive movement. Movements are quite restricted with small spacing available.
Overall, had another enjoyable night performing for the charity concert. The dancers involved are Sam,Darrel,Yi wens,Eunice,Xin Xuan,Le Rong and myself. TAO sponsored food for us dancers and helpers for the event, while POP sponsored drinks. Packed up those untaken ones instead of wasting it.
The event was also entertained by a Church band from Tanjung side,Fresh Beat Rockers doing their street dance thing lots of popping and locking elements and pcghs girls have their voice talents took the stage belting out christmas songs throughout the night. Christmas souvenirs and t-shirts are sold too at the venue to raise funds. The place getting crowded as the night goes by,though it was quite empty and solemn in the evening.
Shih Hao and Yong Ping thank you for stopping by to watch the dance show. SK really touch you to took off from work to come by with Cik Furziah and Yung wei.Hope to hang out soon with you guys ,so sorry don't get to do that on the day due to time constrains.
Just one pain in the pocket incident happened to me: How on earth I forgotten my black stockings for performance?!!! BELLA save me from my horrendous slip-shot memory for the night but Cost me a bomb RM22 just for it. OUCH! The 1st and the LAST time I'll remember to bring my Stockings!

What a painful lesson learnt!
That Feeling
Its been awhile, keeping busy all along with my schedules and lots of interesting stuff keeping me so occupied and Alive! Learning all along to manifest the Law of Attraction and the power of keeping my mind being present practicing the power of NOW.
Yet again there's some feelings which still lingers on. Images of him flashing through now and then like light bulbs in the form of random thoughts and also in my dreams. How could it be so? Why can't I just let go instead I still miss him lots yet not again put hopes which I know I shouldn't as I still have a long way to go with a future that is uncertain. I know we've decided upon this sacrifice,to chase upon our dreams by keeping our focus getting through Uni for our very passion is the 1st priority and whether we're meant together in future only lies in God hands.
With his presence in my life before and even the support now,I know I shall be appreciative and thankful instead of being sadistic. At times I just couldn't help it, but to sulk upon it. God teach me to LOVE myself deeply enough passing me by this phase understanding my emotional needs and balance which slowly toughens me instead of numbing myself after all the wounds.
EFT has been a great gift which I feel blessed to be working on this life-long technique that have recently reach out to me during my turbulance state early this year. A blissful and mindful life, bringing myself to that next level of Awareness is the path I choose to walk along from now on.
Thank you God allowing me to get connected with the universe and the source where we are all ONE.
Sending my love to all.

Auditioning? Oh NO!
Finally the time comes, its scary! I've just receive my audition assignments as requirements to prepare for the audition and interview into Lasalle college of the arts. 1 of the elements is having to study the book as was asked to present how am I going to direct the play. My January is going to be a hell month working on all aspects interesting yet challenging,hope to give my best and pray hard leaving to God to guide me through. So I'd scout through thick and thin,all the bookstores and distributors throughout Malaysia sadly none carry the stock of Neil Simon's play Broadway Bound. Waiting for replies from cousin and friend in sg to check out. Anand came into my mind suddenly thought he had a good network,so called him up and he managed to check it out in sg almost immediate. Looks like only Borders and Kinokuniya in sg got the book but unfortunately just ran out of stock! What a coincidence, a book that is hard to find yet in great demand. Well, couldn't wait for more time to be wasted decided that I eBay-ED it. BINGO! Found it and bought it at a resonable price! Only have to learn a little patience for it hoping it to reach asap in 6-10 days. Yahooooo..
Thank you e-BaY!!! My saviour for Urgent fulfillment & Immediacy!

Just Danz' Group
Upcoming performances with Just Danz' Group in various function for December fever! The dance group newly I'd joined for different exposure and choreography variations. Our first performance, at Gurney Plaza Belleview event went on well than expected. For the 1st time uniting as a team doing 4 numbers from Sway,Let's Get Loud, a Korean number if not mistaken and Jai Ho. Costumes that Sharon got was fitted to the theme of the dances presented. The group consisting of Sharon,Joey,Edwin and myself had our time on the stage doing our thing. It's quite tiring doing a 4 songs straight down in 1hour time.Nevertheless, it turn out well so no regrets. Thanks to Sharon's husband Billy for some nice shots and the videographer! Omar thanks for your photos taken too and not 4getting your feedback.. :)
I shall SMILE more on-stage next time. ;p
It was great that various event companies approached us for strings of shows next year to come!
The most EXCITING part was Maxis offered to fly us down to Macau and Singapore for dance shows! xD Yahoo... Can't wait to travel! weee... Hopefully It won't clash with my audition dates as well as before I start my journey studying in Lasalle College of the Arts.

Photoshooting session
Its a photoshoot for a coming event of Art Installation taking place end of January 2010 a 3day production which rehersals have just about to start.1st time experiencing how a photoshooting session takes place which was indeed pretty interesting.
Few photographers as well as Joei was present for the photoshoot.The whole process was taken place in Penang Film Club located near Weld Quay area. Make up and hairdo was done in 1 hour time.Few make up tips I get to observed and being smart this time putting a layer of safe skin before make up is done preventing more 'volcano eruption' on my forehead protecting it from foundation.Hope it works!
Being clad by only a fan shape bikini made by newspaper for the top and shorts and topped with props some strips of cardboard covering my eyes,wearing boots and also a peacock or feather like hairdo. Was instructed to give the shoot a fierce look having the impression of the photoshoot to turnout having a dark ambience of a bird trying to fly freely craving for freedom.
On the whole,I've enjoyed myself learning how the whole process takes place though its tiring posing and pausing there just for few shots to be perfected.
Next thing,I got a call from Su Minh asking me to be a model for her recent hobby. I was like shocked and excited for the opportunity and also to gain further insights and skills I can.
Still wishing for my 1st ever DLSR! For now in my dreams. xD Unless a kind soul pop by! haha
Yet another small thing that brightens my day.

Charity Dance Show 2009
A Production by my very honourable and respectable jazz instructor as well as great mentor in my journey of dance Mr Ng Kai beng with the support of lions club,the event was a BLAST!
Featuring most types of dances from a vast collaboration from different dance studios and schools from ballet,jazz,hip-hop,line dance,sexy dance,traditional and more. About over 100 dancers joined forces to make this show a success,they're from A La Pointe Ballet academy,K&t Artwork,D'Vol dance theatre, 100% Dance Studio,DOS and ILearndance studio.
Having the opportunity to perform on the stage of an auditorium is really a great honour.It also brought about memories of my past experience being on stage 7years back with PESSOC playing in the 2nd violin section as well as my last musical performance Repunzel during my kindergraden years.
I was involved in 5 numbers a Traditional dance for the opening ceremony under ALP and 4 jazz dances under K&T Artwork which comprises of Hush-hush,Danseurs de Jazz,Sense of Love and Fame! Am really glad that me and Darrel was given the chance to be so involved. Though its pretty tiring and exhausting doing so many dances in a stretch but as the CONCERT kicks off that day,everything went well and there we are doing out very best. For de-briefing section,I know that I could done better in my showmanship than that which this show and experience will led us towards polishing our flaws and taking our potential to the next level.
Most entertaining group was from 100% dance studio feedback from the crowd. Their groovy hip-hop moves with precise timing and comedic movement have made the crowd pump it out. Meantime, D'vol dance group has mesmerized the audience with their outstanding simple costume,flexibility,creative routines and unique moves of hip-hop and street dance elements.
I'm very thankful and greatful that most of my loved ones were there to support the show.Blessing from friends near and far wishing me for the event,gym-mates,dance teacher Weberlynn,schoolmates,ex-collegemates and also new friend found. Its sad that some of my close buddies couldn't attend but with their moral support all the way,thank you! I love you all.
To my dance-mates,really nice meeting and working you nice bunch of people forming K&T Artwork . I'm so looking forward to the next project FLASH MOB!
Friends! Stay tuned for that.
God,thank you for having a great mentor like Kai Beng! Blessed him with great health and wealth to come in continuing his passion in dancing,while creating a platform for young talents to grow.
May god blessed all of us.

A huge event the Penang Beach Carnical that was held at Golden Sands Beach Resort.Johnny called me up if am available,since I am so went there as a runner for the Dragon boat and kayaking event as timers with Boon and Kin Ken too. Met with some USM students anderson doing his MA in electronics and ying doing her BA in Chemistry.Nice people they are. Food and beverages were supplied to us throughtout the event.
Was really burning hotness on that day,standing by the shores trying to locate our focus towards the refree for the starting signal.The referee which is so tiny from far was helped by dressing on a bright red t-shirt that helped alot.
The competition gets more and more intense especially for the Dragon Boat races which wins are determined by splits seconds.While the kayaks competing level is just average.
Overall,the organizing committee for those 2 event was disasterous. As no planning and precise briefing was given but yet tabulated results expected to be perfect.To hell with perfection without proper execution.
Was an enjoyable experience though the event got delayed due to poor management that causes me rushing my way home whilst getting caught in Saturday's jams.Ended up letting Aaron,Sharon and Darrel to wait for me to get home before picking me up to K&T Artwork Potluck party at DOS in butterworth.

Intel's Summer Splash Beach Party
Was the group coordinator for Intel's beach party Games section under Gothecorp events management on 20th Nov. Really glad I could make it for this event,getting to meet new interesting people from tar college a bunch of student from accounting faculty and some juniors and seniors of Mass commers from kdu. Having the opportunity to lead the whole team has brought back memories during my high school years. Short briefing was held,set up all materials for the games and t-shirts were distributed for the events as helpers. The whole team though consists of freshies,I have to say everyone had done a good job working together very well.
The Summer splash agenda from Shake It to Crap Walk,Push the Egg,Dodge balloons,kuaci and tug-of-war. The weather was moderate till later in the evening a sudden pour during the last event which is the Tug-of-War but helpers all were still in the grooves putting up to the heavy downpour staying on ground as the games continues on though some teams gave up rather not getting wet. Poor the emcee DJ Chan yelling here and there to get the crowd to the ground to keep the mood going on! After the whole event, everyone of us was drenched and soaked in rain water. Wow! what an experience. haha. Sadly,I had to leave early due to having a dinner show at E&O Henry butcher's event. Gail told me I'd missed having great sushi and dinner with all of the helpers. hmmp.
Thanks Gail,Albert,Madeline,Sue Ann,Rachel,Ru pei,Ms Koay,Navin,Yew Lee,Choon Eng and Penny! Nice meeting you guys! Looking forward to work with you guys again in events to come! xD *cheers

Breakage Point
When you reach a breakage point its means KIT KAT! haha Take a break.
Breakfast with Omar and Reuben no where else so landed in Kayu.
Great chance to catch up with both.Its been ages since I last contacted Reuben since back then when we're playing violin together having classes under Mark Ostyn the PESSOC conductor and also playing with pessoc.Really miss Mark since he left back to England I stopped playing in the orchestra as was busy with high school activities.Since then,I left taking classes with Bee Lee and he went to May Yoke which are veteran cello player and violin player in pesson till now.Great mentors.
Visited reuben's The CAT's Studio at pinhorn road area.Since his launching of his studio never made it there to see.Finally happened after months or a year.Admire his enterprenuer skills of running his own business now with such diversification.Omar with his photos in the studio while Reuben struting his stuff playing guitar 'working' on his lappie. haha. Anyway,good luck Reuben! Keep it up!
Thanks Omar for giving me a lift and planning this meet.Hope your photos work out! :)
Danny gave me chocolate cookies! Its awesome as ever! Never say no to his baking or cooking.haha. Drop by his place to collect it and returned his container with his brownies given the other time. Feeling lucky and blessed.Thank you danny!
Sign up for some novel typist work at home job at least to bare my freaking expensive personal drama sessions gearing up for my audition next year.The job is pretty simple but staying at home working cuts out my social life lately apart from my crazy rehersals nightlife I had.
Learn up some basic webdevelopment html code programming with Shalen and software sharing on photo editor and more.Cool time together after both are busy to get together.Great input day plus having those crazyness that we don't get to have often.
Movie jennifer's body with dhurga and dulassi a last minute plan.Thanks for the suggestion girl since I have my one day night free from rehersals.Yay! Bump into Cik furziah and her spanish lecture heading for another movie The traveller's wife.
Bought tickets for THIS IS IT MJ show for next wed with dance friends and brother.Hope its nice. Can't wait to see him grooving to his moves on screen!

Work-In-Progress SOUND CHOREOGRAPHY
(The Choreographer Workshop Series 1 )
Meet, Share and Talk with to 2 young choreographers, Katharine Chua and Kent Tan, presenting their works on choreography inspired by sound
Initiated by Ombak Ombak ARTStudio http://www.ombakombak.blogspot.com/
Supported by School of Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia
Have attended this contemporary dance worshop from Aug till October under the guidance and mentorship of choreographer Kent under the supervision of Malaysia's most controversial dancer cum choreographer,Aida Redza.
Kent piece which features KISI revolve around playing with the death.The theme of the discussion about relationship between aging vagrant, trash and death. Featuring the interaction between these three parties, focussing more upon sound, emotion and movement; not purely choreography work of art, instead a fusion of performing arts.The relationship between sound and body focus on emotion and passion as the linkage to generate this whole piece of performance.Whereas,the importance of the sensitivity and appreciation of life from each of the dancers can be seen through the direct and indirect impact of sound towards body movement, however by using the feeling/atmosphere as a neutralizer for the mixture of both elements; it will then strike an equal balance among all elements.Kent's aim to create movement by researching and develop us dancer/performer personal experience and observation towards the assigned subject/issue via gesture and sound projection in expression of each individual thoughts has led to the complete piece of us all.
From this workshop,I've truly gained experience what contemporary dance is all about.Its not about the steps but most of all is the natural movements from our body with the feeling and passion within oneself. How external and internal forces faced by us creates a whole different direction with our reaction towards perspective in life.The idea of having individualistic thoughts and feeling making this piece has come up standing uniquely on its own.Don't get the opportunity to see Ernie performing her full piece under choreographer Katherine but have seen some sneak peek during rehersal sessions. Admire the different kind of spirit and movement from her especially the shoulder resting and finger wrinkling part the starter of her piece.
I'm glad finally I had a chance to meet Aida Redza under her supervision and guidance after wishing to get to know her for years since high school.A dream come true.Thankful to god that I get to meet wonderful people along the workshop,made new friends and also blessed to have a great mentor,Kent.
The End of a New beginning.Wishes to all.

Spanish Film Festival 2009
Thanks Cik furziah for informing me about this event!
Its been years since I followed my spanish drama series back those days with Rosalinda,Mis Hermanas and Yo So Betty La Fea. Some familiar words rings my ear been recapitulated once again.
A short breather I took,catching the last day of Spanish Film Fest with Rohini since she's on leave for moment.The event is held in USM by the the school of languages,literariecies and translation.
We caught the film 'Un Franco 14 Pesetas' (1 Swiss Francs,14 Pesetas) on Friday which is the last day of the festival a 2 and a half hour show. Its like a biography or documentary well edited to a movie version that turns out pretty amazing.
The preview features about 2 spainiards lost their job in the economy turn down and decided to leave to Switzerland for a job after discussing what are their prospect and consequences with their respected family.Their journey there under a tourist pass to find a career in order to stay on to earn a living upon supporting their family back in Spain. Emotions evolve on the hardhip of how imigrants are treated in other natives land,the battle of communication barrier,how affairs started in relationships,culture shock,climates changes,adaption and what most significant was that HOME is where were from and most dearly missed.The unity and strong bond between family and relatives and quality of life comparitively in both countries has been a tough struggle for them in deciding to be permanent resident in Switzerland for good or residing back to their home land with no regret.
