I must say that these days I have been pretty happy, regardless at work, dance or personal. I’m glad I had the chance to meet certain people, and lucky to come across an inspiring video called ‘The Secret’…The video’s (anyway it comes in book form as well and I’m gona get it later at Borders) key focus is on the Law of Attraction. In simple terms, it is how the like attracts the like…how positive attracts positive, negative attracts negative. One can easily see from the people around him/her that a positive person is usually surrounded by many like-minded friends…happy, chatty. A negative person attracts ppl who are equally anti-social…and so on. U get the idea. SO, this extends to a person’s thoughts….when you visualize good things happening to u, and repeat this again and again in your mind, better still draw out your dream and look at it everyday, ur mind only generates positive thoughts, and ways to achieve your goals. There is absolutely no space in your mind then to think about ‘what if I fail?’ ‘What if I’m laughed at?’ Soon, you will put your thinking into action naturally and positively…and u will find that very soon you have achieved your goals… Simply 3 steps. Think, Act, Achieve.

Really, things at work and home and dance have not changed a bit. But what is changing is the mind…and it determined my course of action towards things. Outcome? More positive outcomes.

Choose happiness.

Poor cookie. He's been sitting like this whole day long. Guess the wound still hurts...but fluff has been running and jumping around per normal. Wish cookie a speedy recovery...


Finally, my evening gown fabric has been settled. Guess my choice is always too exotic...haha. But it's all worth the effort la...I like some my gown to show my personality. :)

Good news over the weekend too. We can finally collect our house keys next week. The first things we gona to do will be the bathroom blinds, wallpapers and the balcony flooring. The following weekends will only get busier...

After weeks on herbalife, I've succeeded in putting on 2 kg of weight, with body fats reduced and muscle mass up. :) JQ has lost more weight too... And his tummy is gone. So he's now confident enough to tailor his suit...got it done over the weekend too. :) love it. Fits his cool character.

Gg for practise soon. YeAh!

I'm very scared.

It’s March, and in no time 1Q of 2011 will be over. We’ve done a lot of work for our wedding and new house in the early part of this year, while we were still very excited (well the excitement for the house is probably 100x more than the wedding itself). To me, the wedding day itself despite being a highly important date, is nothing compared to what comes after that….the reality. I only want a simple, cozy affair, with the right people to share this special occasion with me. As for the house, our excitement was forced to die down cuz of some hiccups in key collection, but it’s on the way finally. We couldn’t proceed in confirming certain big items cos we’ve got to see the house first, to avoid making any grave mistakes…so our shopping and buying was forced to a halt.

Tickets for my make-up artist (Maggie) and photographer (Hina) have been confirmed in on 4 May. That’s pretty soon…big problem here now is, I haven’t quite decided on how I want my evening gown to be. I really can’t make up my mind. Third fitting for my bridal gown will be next week, and by then I must decide on the evening gown design. But can’t believe I am so lazy to think about it! So to prepare ourselves to be pretty and handsome models for the photos, JQ is on intensive diet plan a.k.a Herbal Life. It is amazing how he can shed 5 kg in less than 3 weeks and still going strong…most importantly, he is not starving himself! It’s all about being discipline, eating a healthy diet, and proper health supplements. For me? I’m trying to get some INNER SHINE! :P Been taking the Brandz inner shine fruit essence everyday, avoiding potato chips and caffeine, drinking 2 litres of water (with Aloe Tea) everyday and health supplements from Herbal Life! It seems to work…now I feel healthier and prettier (I hope :P)

On the dance front, I’m preparing for the next comp in JB. Had lessons yesterday…and Mikhail went back to basics (or rather started teaching the basics). Glad that he recognizes our weakness and target on the right things at the right time. We’ve got about 2 months to prepare…and I hope to bring our dance to the next level. We can, and we will.

So many things going on in my life now…is it good or not…

Great results from the Indonesia Dancesport Championship (2nd last leg of the Asia Tour)! My debut in standard pre-am, first time doing the tango, and first competition trained by teacher Mikhail. :)It was an awesome competition, not because of the results, but how we did things differently this time. We could dance even when the floor was crowded, able to exit gracefully when being blocked on the floor without stumbling which we used to be. Stamina was also greatly improved. In the past, we were already half dead even before the start of the second dance (quickstep) and now, we are able to complete quickstep (now being the third dance) with proper hold and posture, not to mention maintaining the smile during semis and finals. Very happy indeed. The results are comforting too. Placed 2nd in Novice and 4th in pre-am...wonderful surprise to get into pre-am finals. The happiness is beyond words.

Now that I'm back, I'm feeling a little lost and blue. I guess it's natural after all the adrenaline rush. :) Now, time to settle down again, plan for my BKK training, and get back to Latin with hopefully a brand new image (for the better obviously). For standard, looking fwd to the JB comp in end-April.
