Taste of life

A part of my life is back! At least the dancing part. I am neither a super dancer nor a pro. I am just having fun. Everything is forgotten during that 1 hour session, everything. The only thing I am trying to fix right is my hand and leg coordination. Simple coordination such as right hand goes left, left leg goes right can be so confusing... you may think that you're doing the right direction but in the mirror, the actual result is all wrong. I feel like I am retarded at times looking at my movement in the mirror but it was huge fun :P

Another thing is trying to remember all the steps... boy, if I could remember all IPs and vlans and OSPFs and VRFs and port numbers, I just couldn't remember the dance steps even after 20 times of trying. That showed how many cells in my brain have been lost after so many years of wear and tear. The more I tried to remember, the more tired I become and the more confused the steps become. The only way is to try to forget it... and the steps will come with the music.

For the first time after so many months or I can say years, I danced 2.5 hours of jazz today. I've never felt so exhausted, ever since the first 2 classes with Bryan back in July/August last year. My brain was pumping and I was out of breath. That reminded me that my stamina has dwindled away just like that after 6 months of absence. My dance routine has enabled me to reach the highest peak of the Great Wall of China climb back in November. I think now I wouldn't be able to do the same.

The Thai lady instructor was real good. I like her. She repeats the steps many, many, many times and she just kept going and going. I wish I had her stamina. The hip hop dance session last Monday was taught by a Japanese lady...she's so cool. Her body is so flexible that even the warm-up sessions already killed me. The sit-ups made my tummy aching for 2 days already. But all the pain is fun. There's no other pain that is so fun except dancing I must say :)

There's an upcoming competition in SMASH in August, I wish I could stay longer in Malaysia and continue to practise and join the event.. I really wish. But looking at the nature of my job, it seems real impossible :( I began to think I must do something different, something that I've been wanting to do for some time but never got it started. Big thinking in the coming days before I will make my decision.

As for now, I feel as if a big chunk of lemak (oil) in my body was sucked out by a powerful vacuum cleaner. Such thought makes me less guilty for awhile for all those food that I've been eating lately :P I want more chunks of fat to be sucked out... have to make myself more disciplined to go for the dance sessions without fail. Try and you'll love it!

Who says pigs are lazy?

Who says pigs are lazy? Humans can be worse. Like me. 3 days of holidays and I only managed to clean up my sampah (rubbish) at home on the third day. Finally, the house floor is smooth again.. for the past weeks, I felt like I was stepping on the kaki lima (foot pavement along the street).

Packed another 2 big bags of clothes past midnight... now I have 4 big bags of clothes to be given away. I think they're worth at least RM1K there, what a waste. Some clothes I've worn for once, some never even been touched. I've packed up most of them and now I have to find the map to the orphanage in Puchong where my first batch of clothes went to, 1.5 years ago. My wardrobe is empty again, more space available to fit new clothes, ehem. BUT, I am not going to shop like crazy. Now that I realise how wasteful it is to buy clothes at the blink of an eye.. now I must think at least 10 times before I even set my eye on one. Those money are better off being put to use somewhere else.

I have to force myself on the go. I feel that now during weekends at home, I am even lazier than I was in Jakarta. At least I would spend 2-3 hours on the notebook, forcing myself to finish up some upcoming work but at home here, I would spend more hours on the tv instead. Real lazy person. I hope that my decision to go back to school is a good one. I think my time should be put to better use too.

And for now I gotta go search for some new and real useful clothes ;)
