A new year for this wolfie

well now, this has been a rather interesting year ^_^

much to say but sometimes putting it into words are the hardest parts =) good stuff, shit happens, but i feel i have grown as an individual. living life really is life's greatest lesson, and just all too often many of us don't realise that if we don't step forward and live the moment, it will just slip us by like a shady wraith...

sometimes we hesitate too much. more often than not, its cuz of fear or insecurity, but who can blame us? uncertainties are definitely intimidating, and i've had my fair share of shaky moments too, 'specially this year... but as i learnt to step forward and just embrace it, to do what i have to do... i have gained much, much that i would not have if i had cowered and refused to acknowledge that things will happen. its just a question of sooner or later and how i'll handle it when it gets here.

happiness and a wave of light relief comes over me when its all said and done. sure at times it may hurt a little... but hey, its a lot like sports: you train and get them muscle aches, but when the aches subsides you are already stronger. maybe im just optimistic but least thats how i look at it =)

patience, tolerance, care, being true to myself and my feelings, love, restraint, perseverance, a sense of keeping it real and yet dare to dream are just a few of the many i will hopefully bring with me to the next year, and years after.

through the ups and downs, one thing has remained constant which i am blessed with. friends, my dear friends, who have stuck by me, enjoyed and amplified the good times, and supported each other during the not so pleasant ones. many many times i look back and just reflect the past, and my eyes get all watery at the precious memories and moments. gosh, im all emotional and sappy now pfft =)
cherished and forever indebted to **friends**, life is sweet and special with you fellahs.

to that. the countdown just happened. happy new year people, im not much for praying but i pray you all have a BLOODY BOMBASTIC year ahead ^_~

out.

CHIKA WELL!

to the tune of jingle bells... =p


(chorus)
chika well chika well chika all the hell
oh what fun it is to glide on kentucky fried chicken smell, HEY!

mashing potatoes, in a one cook oven clay
over the spills we go, mashing all the way
pepper bottles cling, setting tongues alight
what fun it is to fry n bring a crazy song tonight HO!

Life's lessons learnt, a better person at the end of a year ~^_~~

wow. i'm tired. and sick with fever.

least i got the shopping done ^_^ wheee!

brrruuuhbbrrbbbba..... the night before the competition and i have no idea why i feel so darn calm O_o

101 things to do and thats been keeping me busy these hols =/

not to mention events that has happened within the past 3 weeks or so... has taught me many things about life and i think its safe to say i've gained some maturity
along the way =)

it's even got me wondering and maybe almost believing that there's fate and that things happen out of the choices we make, the things we do and others do.... some things are so coincidental that it makes me wonder if 'someone'(whatever you wanna call it,makes no diff to me =p) is trying to tell me something @_@

gah. i'm sleepy. will probably write about the ulu yam trip next time.. now that was awesome but its a story for another time. now, its just time for me to hit the bed and dream(of stuff) ^_~

ah well... my bloody mistake for being so careless and putting my wallet hp etc into the bag =.= bleah.

ok, today=sneezing fit day...wth, hope the ppl sitting beside me in class aint too disgusted lol... guess i cant hold my drink well at all? its only ice lemon tea =.= either that or i caught a bug or some dust mites found their way up my nasals....

thanks guys, for comforting me n advising me on being more careful... feel so stupid that i cud just leave my stuff like that lol.

hm, iggy has grown...need two hands to hold her now, less she scratches me and forcibly rearranges my outer epidermis =_=...

ahhhh inactivity so does not suit me... absolutely hates the exam study period, since for that month or so i end up at the desk or the pc studying my brain cells away. health detiorates, and fitness levels drop amazingly fast.. pff i so gotta go out n run nightly... not today tho, need to get some rest for my nasals to clear up 1st =)

Ez2Dancer, Stardust, Fluffy

waaaa...... trying to put latin moves into Ez2Dancer songs is blaaaaaaardy tough>_<

but i will persevere.....gonna bring new breath to ezdancing at pyramid somehow...bet some of the ppl there were wondering what the heck was that idiot doing shaking his hips about so vigorously xDDD

so far as i am able to discern, there is chacha, samba, and jive cum rock n roll that are potentially applicable to them songs... but gosh....the energy involved is POUUUFF!!! i was so surprised today when i found myself panting hard after just two songs O_o thank god im not a breakdancer trying to breakdance on that platform...i'd probably die of exhaustion lol!!

watched the movie titled Stardust, and wow was it funny^^ comedy with a twist of romance sure does warm the cockles of my heart =D i think the part i laughed the hardest was when this...'captain' cross dressed and danced to a piece of classical music. universal mirth affected everyone in the theater at that point and it almost drowned out the audio hehe. i can see why suyin wanted to watch that hilarious flick a 2nd time ^_^

ooh, fluffy(my puppy) got some love from siew cat n suyin today =) that silly thing is sleeping right now yelping n making contented noises....no doubt dreaming of delicious food and running in the field. heck, it might even b dreaming of when it was sitting happily in suyin's lap earlier today haha =P

right after fnishing this piece of rant i'd better get back to my studies...been neglecting them too much this year n its now payback time hahaha^^

aaaa fluffy! shh.... noisy la wei =.=

Its been a long. long.. long... long..........time. OLA!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...its been such a while since i last came here to rant =.= guess im nt really the blogging sort huh?

Well time to catch up with some things ^^

This year's Ballroom competitions really impressed me! The standard has risen so much in Malaysia as compared to one year ago! looking back at last year's videos, the dancers who i once admired doesnt really seem so great now compared to this year's batch O_O

Well, that actually leaves me with a BIG chunk of pride, since i managed to grab a few titles along the way ^_~

at first, the 1st half of the year was a bit distressful for me...michelle(my dance partner) and i kept getting placed 2nd for our 1st 3 competitions T_T some of the judges decisions were a little suspicious...is it just coincidence that 5 out of 9 judges can give us a rank of 1 or 2 and only 2 judges gives us a rank of 7 or 8? ah well, maybe they spotted us during a blunder or something T_T

Luckily, things started to pick up^^ over the next few competitions we managed to pick up several titles, and for the international competitions like the crystal dancesport championships, we managed to enter the finals and was ranked 4th, beating malaysians and several other foreigners ^_^ ^_^ that was really our proudest moment xD cuz last year in the same event, not a single malaysian got into the finals, where this year we were the only malaysian couple to not only get in the finals, but also knock ourselves up into the 4th placing xDD

wow so much to write about still...

hm...jumping a bit thru time....i think it was in august...merdeka eve. An event took place that quite literally changed my life. now how did the story go...

kev siew cat n i went to the pyramids to catch a movie, Perfect Stranger. An interesting comedy, well worth to watch. after the show the girls wanted to go shopping around, clothes n stuff (my guess was they were looking for bday presents for each other) so kev n i just tagged along and watched in amusement as the other shoppers stared at these two strange guys hanging inside a women's clothes store =X
after the girls had their fill of shopping, i guess they kinda felt sorry for dragging us around so we headed for the arcades. as is customary, kev and i had a few rounds duking it out with each other on the para para dance machines ^_^ stuff happens,coins were used, sweat flowed.
i was wondering why ppl were looking at us like we were some orangutan's gotten loose and assaulting the machine.......guess our freestyle workout caught some attention eh? albeit for the wrong reasons X_X

well, after tiring ourselves out, we took a break on the seats near a different dance machine. i later discovered it is called Ez2Dancer. at that time, there was this girl who was just getting onto the machine. we sat, panting heavily after our exertions, and watched as the girl danced with a certain grace and flow to the song. I must say we definitely enjoyed the performance ^^

well, naturally these two competitive and adventurous guys were tempted to try out the machine after a dazzling performance. we inserted our last two coins and prepared for our own amazing performance. at 1st we picked easy mode.....GOD!! was it heckuva slow aarrrgh! we were standing there like idiots waiting for the next bubble to pop by =.=

totally pumped up for a harder song, we (foolishly) picked our next song which was 3 ranks higher. the following spectacle couldnt be anything less than disastrous........

to the bystanders nearby, it was as if we were trying to somehow stomp and bash the machine into itsy pieces of wiring and circuits..... imagine this, a base ball is headed your way and your hand is too slow to stop it from hitting u in the face. now take that and multiply by 5. that was what we felt when a huge amount of bubbles appeared seemingly out of no where on the screen!!!! i was wildly flailing my arms and tripping over my own overlong legs whilst kev was doing goodness knows what sumo karate judo moves all over the place on that blasted machine!! needless to say we lasted less than 30 secs.......

pooped out from the sudden barrage of bubbles, the four of us decided to cool off over a nice mug of A & W's Rootbeer Float. the ladies went to find a seat whilst kev n i hustled over to the counter to place our orders. as we reached the counter the person before us was just collecting her drink n headed towards the seats. i recognised her to be the dancer we saw earlier @_@ well, thirst was overpowering us so we placed our orders. collecting our drinks, kev n i made our way back to the ladies. seated two seats away was the dancer we watched earlier.
Out of some sudden whim, i deviated my course and approached her. "hi! you're that dancer earlier from the arcades arent u? wow u danced really well!" not much as greetings go, but u gotta understand, my system was desert parched from all that workout. kev n the ladies got curious and came over^^

being a good friend and gentleman*wah paiseh* i supplied my name, asked for hers and introduced my pals one by one ^_^ that awesome dancer's name turned out to be Suyin. after the initial introductions were made, the 4(calyn went off to do some mre shopping...or was it toilet break?) of us chatted up a storm!! turns out that this new aquaintance of ours studies just nearby at the same college i go to, sunway coll uni. i was rather surprised when she answered my question whether she has learnt any form of dancing before....she said not at all....wow! was my reaction, didnt expect that judging from the way she performed on that machine @_@ chat chat chat bla bla bla, cat comes back n joins in for a while. it was soon about 5.30pm and it was time for all of us to leave. we exchanged numbers to keep in contact and thus the day was over.

a week or so flew by, and cat(calyn)'s bday celebration came around. i made a suggestion to my friends, and invited suyin for some chill time at the arcades. that was just after my progress exams and she hadnt been to the arcades for a while so we all headed over to the pymids on a friday. initially the plan was to catch a movie...unfortch none of the shows that were screening were any good... in the end, someone(hugo?cant remember...sry >_<) suggested we treat cat to a good meal. went around and settled our butts down at waffleworld. makan talk eat cakap and much more later, we headed back up to the arcades to work off some of the calories we gained yapping and gulping .... folks, thats where i got the biggest ass thrashing i can remember.. after kev n i warmed up on the para para, we went over to the ez2dancer gizmo, and i went up a round with suyin. luckily she was kind enough to choose a simple song, even tho it was hard mode. the 1st song went by, and i was chagrined to see her bar full, whilst mine was blinking red barely an inch.....O_O credit must be given that she took pity on me and choose another simple song for the 2nd round. guess what, barely 15 secs into the song i lost balance and almost got a mouthful of plastic and circuits...luckily wolf instinct took over and somehow i managed to plant my feet back onto the platform. at the end of the 2nd round, despite my best efforts, my bar was the epitome of non-existence...T.T i shrudder to describe the 3rd round....earlier i mentioned kev n i stood there like dungus while waiting to hit a bubble? this time i stood like a dungu again....waiting to somehow catch a bubble by pure chance!!! PWN3D FR13D.... siew described that particular scenario as "Wilson getting his ass thrashed and kick into outerspace" X_X ouch! well....not much happened for the next few weeks, other than my mock exams.. ah. after my mocks, calyn n i planned a trip to genting, idea originating from kevin n i. not to mention siew invited the group(+suyin) and her coll friends over to her house for a costume party sleepover on her bday eve ^_~ wow the party was rather successful!! who says a costume party cannot work in malaysia huh? lets see...we had a rugby player, cowgirl(siew), lamppost(keen), gypsy(paddy), teacher n schoolgirl combo, whitefaced witch(beh), green iguana(iggy), rug(chester), bellydancer(?), photographer(?), 2 men killers(cat and kristal),chinese pontianak/munak(suyin) and hugo kinda freaked everyone out when he emerged dressed only in a unbuttoned shirt and a towel.....*loses bfast as i typed this* omg, hugo never ever do that again until u learn to either sit like a lady or lose some hair from your legs @_@ goodness, he n beh did some sort of wierd sexual ceremony stage dance wtf?!! hopefully he wore something else beneath the towel, less the girls get traumatised when he sits down with his knees wide apart XO;;;;;;;;;; yours truly came as Uiruson, shinobi of konoha, dubbed by the others as the dancing ninja @@. my initial plan was to wear a costume which can change into 3 different characters thru out the nite, but it was a rather hot nite...2 layers didnt cut it >_< well i guess my costume caught their attention, i was being grabbed to take pictures with =.=

stuff happens, then the dance mat came out, thats where we introduced paddy and suyin to DDR on the ps2 ^^ and wow were they quick learners.. soon they were lining up along with the rest for the stomp fest !! after that we totaly percussioned ourselves over a game suyin brought over, Taiko!! aw that game was soooooo keeeeewt!!

eventually, one by one our pals leave and only those for the sleepover remained. 4 of us attempted to scare ourselves shitless over the game fatal frame 2. hugo was the lucky guy who got to hold a eeriely vibrating controller since he volunteered earlier to play that game for 2 hrs straight....such a brave soul. too bad his mind n body couldnt agree with his soul and he ended up as a puddle of quivering fear....=3

next we knew, we dropped of to the land of zzz. the dead body effect took over the living room as bodies were strewn everywhere. wake up call by yours truly as we had to get on the bus to genting.

ok, nothing eventful, skipping stuff...

k now we got to the hotel room, i discovered a fatal flaw in the bathroom's security O_o that bathroom has not one but TWO entrances =O the second one being a pair of mirrored sliding doors.....which has no way of securing or locks whatsover. the guys were pretty pissed off when i dutifully announced that obscurity to the group xDD no guys, voyeurism without consent does not become u ^_~

ah here is something worth mentioning...suyin was feeling a little delicate that morning, probably from the bus and cable car ride. the moment she got to the room she curled up in the corner of the bed and went into hibernation mode. hehe it was pretty much a universal agreement that she looks helluva adorable when sleeping. that was when we came up with suyin's inner animal =3 ask her or one of us if ur curious what it was =)

hm, nothing special after that, chain of events as follows..

themepark>rides>KFC lunch>arcade....ah, here i gotta add something..

well the new arcade was fabulous and all that, but suyin n i were eager to find the older one with ye old faithful dance machines. stuffing ourselves with fried chicken means workout time...holy shit, that old arcade was bloody hard to find, we ended up walking almost twice around genting before we finally located the dark and almost abandoned arcade... the dissapointment at the condition of said machines were apparent on our faces...screen was fuzzy, sound was weak...urgh!!>_<

moving on, we all gathered back at the hotel room for some much needed R & R. the chipmunk and koala almost instantly went into hibernation.. even this wolf felt the need to lay his head on his paws and take a brief respite.

hm, one event did take place that nite which i'd gloss over, but it touched me so i'll jus mention a bout it. siew cat n paddy went out to the convenient store to grab some insta noodles for dinner. as they were out, suyin headed off to take a shower. ok before you guys out there start drooling or having wierd thoughts, NOTHING HAPPENED. i repeat...oh nvm u get the idea. that is one brave girl, i was touched that she trusted keen n i enough to take a shower even with those blasted sliding doors.

anyways the ladies came back with dinner and we feasted. okay, this was probably the 1st time my friends has seen someone eat chilled maggi cup curry noodles. it was pretty darn good anyways.

moving on, skipping some time......

back in kl sentral, we parted ways as each of us headed back.

life went on....

the next eventful er.....well one thing sticks out in my mind, suyin invited me out for some fun at the arcades, and to meet this chap she says is a pro at ez2dancer. intrigued, i complied ^^ neh, i was rather restless anyhows and wanted a chance to stretch my limbs so i was rather eager to go bang up the machine a bit =)

i was there early so i hung around a bit...then i spotted this guy who...sorta looked familiar =/ on the ez2dancer. he was pretty good, solid movements and fast reflexes. after a few rounds he went to rest while playing at the virtual machines. shortly, i met up with suyin and she pointed at that guy, Joshua!! lol i thought i recognised him, but couldnt be sure cuz from the pic on his facebook profile, i'd thought he'd be taller ^_^ (no offense josh, im a lousy estimate =))
also met another 2 friends of her's, heal(?) tan and melinda =) didnt really get to interact with melinda but them two guys seem pretty nice ppl^^

ok...there i was, surrounded by ez2dancer pros....im sure most of u can imagine how nervous i got when i went up on that machine xD †divine bovine† doesnt begin to describe the spectacle of me stiff as a plank cluttering around on that platform......=รพ some how managed to last the 3 rounds with a speckle of life left in the bar. @_@ ah, but watching them, suyin n josh, i learnt more about the different styles and sequences which one may implement to make the movement around the platform easier ^^ to cut it short i met some wonderful ppl that day and i was hella glad i went out, was feeling under the weather earlier on that day and almost didnt go.
thank ¤whatever¤ †divine† being that i went anyways for that was surely one of my more memorable times.

shortly after, the terry fox marathon came around. BY ZEUS'S CELESTIAL THUNDER that was the longest i have ever run in my whole life! almost 10km is no joke for a person who goes sprinting+jogging around a padang for a few rounds.........thats like running from my house to the YMCA in KL...WTF?! but i felt really really good after that...although i was but a tiny speck in that huge horde of marathoners, i take pride that i ran in such a meaningful event =3

surprisingly...after that hellish run and a bout of ez2dancer+para para in the afternoon, the next day i didnt even feel a single ache,pain or torment?! whoa........ sweet, no aftereffects of strain ^_^ ^_~

and finally after 8 hours since i started typing this super mega gigantic update....its done! omygoshimsotiredgottagotakesomezzz........

and the story continues....
