sigh.

Gosh, if one day that my world is filled with sufficiency of what i lacked, my life would be perfect and perfection would lead to satisfaction and content; and i would lead a life of self-content and slowly die of boredom, out of boredom i will seek meaningful purposes, out of purposes i will find out what my spirituality lacks and out of those lacks i will find assumption, certainties and God.

therefore,
life filled with or without sufficiency, i still need God/Abba.

end of babbling.
bullet point#1-- I am fasting but the more i fast, the more temptation i meet in the name of bingeing.

bullet point#2-- I am badly bitten by the travelling bug, i hope to go to bali indonesia by next year. mom and i are already headin for shenzhen, China in 2009.

there's a proverb in chinese that goes: "U may master/habour a talent when you're young, it doesnt mean u will be an expert when you've grown up."

like-wise.

when i was on the dancefloor watchin the regulars prance and lyrically dance to the contemporary, i smile nostalgically.
boy, have i gone really really rusty. its more than just rythmn, we're talking alot of bending, stretching, squating, leg lifts and handsupport movements.

I remember the conversation exchanged between me & the newcomer yoga instructor named Indra. She is from Indonesia and she is a certified nutritionist as well, i told her that it is my 1st time joining the yoga and soon contemporary dance class. Her opinion humbles me, "Its good that its your first time, that way you have a clean cut foundation and u can learn everything the correct manner. Some people who stopped certain lessons in other dancing classes elsewhere usually hold the notion that they can be quickly put into shape after stopping for few years. But, training is everything to result and discipline."

I quietly take those words in and as i was standing at the studio room watching the young girls this evening (say, those girls are just 2-4 years younger than me) naturally flex their body to a sychronised choreographed move, I am sure that I could use alot of discipline to whip back into "that" shape again.

But i am excited.
Because all this are beautiful on how u can intepret music through your body. Be it jennifer lopez, contemporary jazz or classical, it is important that I must not be afraid to try  new things and make mistakes. Because only mistakes helps me to rectify the right from wrong, putting myself into this activity can help me train my mind into a quicker reflex.

I sincerely look forward to more of this classes.
Hello dancing feet, goodbye limpy limbs.  Wish me Luck!

 
Spacious huh? and next picture is teresa, she is the dance teacher for living arts.

I have decided to sign up for a Yoga class this monday onwards together with a free trial of contemporary dance class follow by a belly dancing. After that, i will decide which one will pair off with my yoga class. The price to pay for fitness and beauty involves alot of budgeting, planning and praying.

Do i need to do this? I asked myself.
Any jerk of a practical thrifty minded friend* would say this: "Why throw so much money into the river? Go jogging, for crying out loud."
*a so-called friend whom i judge as an demented individual*

Well, true. But i've always got this dancing needs in my gene pool, i use to be in the dance team in my primary years but i quit the team due to my upcoming exams in high school. Later on, I sorta went cold feet on the audition to get back in the league and the rest is history.

So, its now or never. Time to come back to my dancing feet....and so, i said a little prayer, took a shower for the hot sunday afternoon and march over to the dance studio right opposite where i stay. I tell you, I am nervous. Because we're talking about the first step in lessons for not just anything but something my heart will leap at. Music.
**************************************************************************************
As I stroll along the clean polished woods of the studio, i notice the studio is mirrorless. The dance instructor Teresa said: "This is to promote a sense of creativity as u aspire yourself into the rythmn and the percussion of the music."

Ah, how artistic and original. Nothing of a typical studio i see where u feel the pressure to poke ur bulging belly while u admire the lean fast-learners who's busy strutting "their thang" in the front-line since they are the regulars. Nothing like that at all. 

Teresa gives me a feeling that she's a been that, done that kinda gal who's not afraid to express how she feels. She strictly ask of commitment for the classes if i want to see improvement physically. "I guarantee u will sweat like crazy...." followed by a mischevious smile on her face.

Oh, boy.
I will let u know more about this in due course. Meantime, i havent even shop for a pair of sport shoes, do i need it? Its the off-peak for my firm, its time to hit the dance floor and get to core of my first love. Music.

Wish me luck.
