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!!!
