I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

(Instrumental solo)

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

Love always,

THE GIFT (Jim Brickman)

Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on
like a fairy tale come true.

Sitting by the fire we made
You're the answer when i prayed
I would find someone
and baby I found you.

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
and I'm thankful every day
for the gift.

Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment
if only time stood still.

But the colors fade away
And the years will make us grey
But baby in my eyes
You'll still be beautiful.

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful every day
for the gift.

(instrumental)

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
I can't find the words to say
That I'm thankful every day
for the gift.

Right now all your dreams are waking up,
right now the sun is killing the moon,
right now I wish I could follow you,
to the shores of freedom,
where no one lives...

Happy Ending - Mika

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love [repeat]

I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Too Many Broken Hearts - Jason Donovan

Last night you talked about leaving,
I said I can't let you go
It's not just emotional feeling
I need you body and soul

You give me one good reason to leave me
I'll give you ten good reasons to stay
You're the only one I believe in
I'd be hurt, I'd be hurt, if you walk away

(Chorus)

Too many broken hearts in the world
There's too many dreams can be broken in two
Too many broken hearts in the world
So I won't give up the fight for you

The world is full of lonely people
Who never held onto love
Last night I tried to reach you
But somehow it wasn't enough

So I said, can't you wait a bit longer
I'll give you all that a lover should give
It ain't my pride but my love that is stronger
I'd be hurt; I'd be hurt, if you walk away

(Repeat Chorus *2)

You give me one good reason to leave me
I'll give you ten good reasons to stay
You're the only one I believe in
I'd be hurt; I'd be hurt, if you walked away

(Repeat Chorus till fade)

sighz... :-(

disfigured! argh!!!

And so I went to the doc yesterday... turns out, my ligament on the jaw joint of my face is slightly torn, hence the pain, and also I might have obtained a fracture on the bone on my face... how interesting.. Doc said it woudlnt be reasonable for him to put a cast of my face! I'd look like the phantom or something!

All he gave me were anti-inflammation and said it'll have to heal by itself.. also, I'm not supposed to wear my glasses cause of the pressure it'll put on the bone. Sounds like I've been having rough oral sex huh? hAEHHAEah.. Only explanation I can think of is Kelly hitting me in the face one too many times whilst practising.. haha..

Anyway, below is the pic taken during my firm's Family Day.. I spent the day hiding from the partners cause I didnt want to take part in the tele-match in fear of injuring myself before the KL Dance Festival.

Together in Electric Dreams - Giorgio Moroder / Phil Oakey)

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes its hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
Its just too late to stay
Too late to stay

We`ll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We`ll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go i`ll never find a better prize
(find a better prize)
Though youre miles and miles away
I see you every day I dont have to try
I just close my eyes, I close my eyes

Well always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
Well always be together
Together in electric dreams

pics pics pics.. yay!

It's been awhile since I've blogged about anything other then my dancing... then again, my life is all about work and dance nowadays, and since I'm not really allowed to disclose information about my work, it leaves me no choice but to talk about dance.

Still... it also might be cause I'd rather not talk about other aspects of my life. Things are sometimes too personal or complicated for me to put on my blog and since people read this blog, I'd rather keep them private. If not I'd feel too exposed.

But what else can I talk about then? HhMMm... I want to get a credit card.... does that count? The one I'm looking at would give me a 20% discount on Genki Sushi.. so that's a major plus.. haha.. Unfortunately I dont qualify for the Celcom one yet, so we'll wait and see...

Life is so strange... things change too much too fast. I find myself longing for the comfort of my past, struggling with my present and dreading my future. Is this really my life? Isn't it too short for me to feel this miserable? Why am I not contented? I still have my ups and downs.. tho I have to say there are less downs nowadays... Nevertheless, growing up sure is tough. Doesnt help that I'm always so bloody broke all the time... trying to dampen the problem by getting dance gigs... tho it isnt really the season...

Anyway, last Saturday was the 2nd anniversary dinner of one of the studios I dance at. We were told in advance that they wanted us to do a performance. By virtue of being the only couple who compete in ballroom (albeit beginners), we were asked to dance a waltz. On Thursday I choreographed a waltz according to the 32 bars of the music... we were supposed to be given the choreography but the principal was tooo busy.. Friday, we discovered we were given the wrong music, so I had another 20 bars to add... luckily, we managed to throw enough crap together to fake the performance. However, most of the attendees were dance people.. urghz...

For the Jive performance however, I literally melted two pairs of pants when I blazed down the dance floor. :-s!!!!!! I melted the first pair during the practise. My choreography called for me running towards my partner who woudl already be on the floor and slide half the way there on my knees. The heat generated melted my pants and again in the other during the performance so I have two pairs with holes at the knee area :-( I'm so bloody annoyed... the audience loved it tho... but my precious pants are ruined!!! argh!!! and we're not even paid for the performance!! ARGH!!!

Sigh... anyway, I'll try to get pics to post 'em up. Hopefuly people got good pics of the performance. Would be quite cool if they have one of me sliding on the floor...

Competition No. 3 with Kelly

The inaugural KL International Dance Festival was held at Berjaya Times Square between the 4th and 10th of June. In the week-long event, there were workshops, performances and competitions. Most importantly, it held the 1st MALAYSIAN IDSF OPEN WORLD RANKING DANCESPORT CHAMPIONSHIP on the 9th of June.

The preliminaries were held on the LG floor of Berjaya Times Square at the Concourse. A floor had been installed and everyone from all levels could watch competitors battling out on the dance floor. Furthermore, it was free viewing for the afternoon events! Can you imagine the crowd that attended? First you've got the competitors and their supporters... THEN you get the Saturday afternoon shoppers... CRAZY!!

I competed in C and D categories again... unfortunately Mr. LYS didnt think we were ready for B despite winning D in the last competition. Then again, that was only a month ago and this was going to be an international competition... couples from over 16 countries came to compete. PO wanted us to compete in B tho... oh well..

Anyway, in our category, there were couples from Sg(Phil+US), Taipei and HK too.. and obviously other Msian couples.. There was electricity in the air... was such a different feeling. So many spectators and the spotlight... blinding.. but was essential for my top to sparkle.. haha... Competing with international couples was certainly an experience. I dont know to explain it, but the international couples were everywhere! You could feel the difference in standards when competing against international competitors as opposed to only local competitors.

Anyhoo... parents, sister and friends came to support. Was a really good feeling. I've never had such support before. To know that your family and friends are there watching and supporting you is sweet. Always tried to position myself near them.

We danced in our prelims of the 2 events (C and D categories) in front of Berjaya Times Square... amazing feeling... and managed to fight our way into the finals! We were the only couple from Msia who made the finals which was rather surprising cause that meant we beat a nemesis of mine who has always beat me to-date. Partner was ecstatic.. but it is probably a fluke. In the eyes of most judges, they are better then us... they were probably unlucky and were not noticed.

The finals were held at Berjaya Hotel in the Manhattan Ballroom.. beautiful hall and they had installed an excellent dance floor. The C Latin finals was the first to be showcased.... exhilarating! We were the ONLY Msians on the floor.. it felt so competitive and the adrenaline rush...unbelievable. I managed to sneak my parents in for the D Latin finals... bouncers were getting tired I think...

Unfortunately, we were placed last in the finals of D Latin which was a little disappointing cause all we were hoping was not to come last in the finals... but we still took it all in our stride.. we were still the only Msians to have made the finals afterall.. The same couples had also made it into the C category finals... so it was rather strange when we weren't last in what is supposed to be the tougher event... and we did not com in 5th... and not 4th.. but third!!! I was quite surprised! We didnt expect to do so well! We didnt even expect to make finals for C. But I have to say, the usual competition from the local circuit and also the Thai couples were not there...

Whatever the case, we've managed to convince our coach that we belong in the higher categories.. but it also means we're going to be in a dry spell for awhile cause competition in B is so much higher.. but we'll be concentrating on C for now I guess. Hehe... more hard work and hopefully we'll establish ourselves as dancers deserving to be in the B category!!

The More Loving One

Looking up at the stars I know quite well,
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least,
We have to dread from man to beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn,
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am,
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

W H Auden

I'm listening to Grace Kelly (MIKA)... what else you wanna know???

So here I am again... blogging... this rare white elephant of an entry... It was so much easier for me to blog when I had access at home.. sigh.. oh well...

So what has been happening... lets see... I've completed my chambering.. getting called to the Bar on the 17th of May 2007... WOO HOO... but that's about all I want to say about my professional life... *sensitive*... Afterall, my second life is so much more interesting!

The hottest news (which compelled me to blog today) has to do with (what else??) dance! Went for the Malaysia Team Dance Sport Championships 2007. The day before I was literally bed ridden with a high fever and had only soup. Was terribly weak, but I still had to get up to re-stone my latin top and iron my ballroom shirt, yada yada yada. Got up at 6.30am to get ready and fetched Kelly (my partner) and made our way to the hall.


We were competing in the beginners waltz and beginners quickstep in the Ballroom section and Novice and Pre Amature in the Latin section. My partner has only been dancing ballroom for 2 months so she was a nervous wreck!!! It was quite difficult calming her down. And we kinda screwed up the quickstep in the finals.. haha... I kept messing the routine up, but the way she just followed me was fantastic.. hahaha... I kept whispering figures and at one point she was like "is this the beginning??".. hehe... we ended up laughing it off when we took our bow before we left the floor.


Still.. somehow we won both ballroom events.. which poses a problem cause we wont be allowed to compete in the same category again in the up coming comp in June and we'd need 2 Open routines (Waltz and Tango) for that comp... so it is unlikely we'll be competing there... oh well...

With fellow finalists, the lovely Stephanie and Vehn.

As for the Latin section... by a stroke of luck, we won the Novice category (Cha and Rumba). Kelly was ecstatic. We both did not expect it. We were hoping for a top 3 placing but to win it was a whole different thing. Also, we made the finals of the Pre Am (Cha, Rumba and Jive). Came a respectable 5th placing... weird judging considering we lost to a couple we beat in Novice but who cares.. hehe...

Again, we're posed with the problem of having to upgrade to a higher category.. since we're already competing in the Pre Amature category, we will have to start competing in the Amature as well... SCARY.. and Kelly is having to learn the Samba... think it'll take a some time but YAY!

p.s. I'm SO naked in my new Latin top!!!

Dungu, your cat's a Tugger

Who knew a cat could tug at your emotions like that? Your cat's always doing things that get you right there in the heart. But that shouldn't be surprising considering their personality. There's just something about the way they roll over for a belly-rub, or race to the front door to greet you after a long day that's so endearing!

Oscar Hammerstein II once wrote in The Sound of Music, "Love isn't here to stay. Love isn't love till you give it away".

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, dont patronize - dont patronize me

Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no you wont
cause I cant make you love me, if you dont

Ill close my eyes, then I wont see
The love you dont feel when youre holding me
Morning will come and Ill do whats right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no you wont
cause I cant make you love me, if you dont

Why do we get married?

"Because we need a witness to our lives. There's a
billion people on the planet. I mean, what does one
life really mean?

But in a marraige you're promising to care about
everything. The good things, the bad things, the
terrible things, the mundane things. All of it, all the
time, every day. You're saying your life will not go
unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not
go unwitnessed because I will be your witness."

Dream A Little Dream Of Me Lyrics - Elliot Mama Cass

Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you";
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree;
Dream a little dream of me...

Say "nighty-night" and kiss me,
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me...

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger til dawn, dear,
Just saying this:

Sweet dreams til sun beams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you;
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger til dawn dear,
Just saying this:

Sweet dreams til sun beams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our worries far behind you;
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me
