our first times. haha.

whoa it’s been wks since i last blogged. been gg out too often but yet have nothin very interestin to blog hehe. and then wat e hell is wrong wif blog.com and my layout? dammit, it’s gone frm plain to ugly.

last nite i was out wif my salsa fren wai chiong, WC for short. we went to a pretty nice restaurant at greenwood something, somewhere behind NJC and it was my 1st time there even tho i studied at NJ! ulu kampong girl.. anyway last nite, i had foie gras for the first time n it was jus like wat jeremy had described, like some yummy tofu and basically, tofu. wahahaha!

then we headed down to wala wala. ok.. i’ve heard that the live band there is fantastic n everyone loves bein at that place, but i’ve never ever been there b4 becos live bands r jus not for candy. in any case, there’s always a 1st time for everythin n yeah, we went. BUT, im sorry, i seriously don’t appreciate live bands waha!

so i really cldnt stay there for long n we headed for Rouge. i’ve neva been there since they revamped e place but i’ve recently heard that rouge plays RnB on fridays, n WC’s neva been there b4 n has heard that rouge has a good live band, so it seems like it’s a good place for both of us. BUT then, when we reached the place, they only had the good live band n no RnB. damn damn.

and so…. we moved to o-bar! wahaha it was like almost 1 yr ago since i last clubbed there? heh but jade (someone workin there) still rem me, n i met kelvin n jason. whoa it feels like the good old clubbin times but jus that im no longer that wild haha bleah. anyway it was WC’s 1st time at o-bar, 1st time in an RnB club actually.
so obviously he can’t dance to RnB. but this guy is pretty impressive cos he was pretty open to learnin a new kind of dance (aka the rnb dance). maybe it’s the positive influence of salsa classes! so i taught him the most basic step, which is to hop ard(! ) hahaha. eh that’s wat i’ve observed over the yrs k.

so it was a pretty nice n fun nite for us wif many many first times. lucky for me that we went to o-bar n luckily he din kiss me or anythin cos i wldnt have known how to react to it. candy’s so prim n proper nowadays woho!

fill my sundays with the sun and loads of fun!

i’ve been pretty negative abt life lately. frens who’ve drifted apart or taken one another for granted, the once warm+nice gatherings that’ve become mini social functions, sucky salsa partners in class etc etc.

it made me hate the world. it made me dread gg for those girls’ gatherin cos it’d never be a truly girls’ nite out; some bf will always be ard. it made me feel sick abt gg for salsa class cos in the end i always dun get to do the moves. maybe ur luck jus goes down once u start thinkin negative. i jus end up wif the fuckin sucky guys EVERY SINGLE TIME. wat crap.

so now, i’ve decided to do sthg to make myself feel better. i’m goin to wakeboard!! hahaha. wb’s always been on top of my to-do-list but i’ve always got the impression that it’ll cost damn alot. but yesterday marcus my new salsa fren told me that it’ll cost abt $70+ each time, i expect abt $25 per 20 min run.

cool cool.. if nothin goes wrong my first ride after the 1yr+ break will be on 23Oct, next sunday! yippee yippee!! hahaha can’t wait to wakeboard..

n then if i manage to find company, i wanna wb at least twice a mth! yay!! yay!! yayyy!!!
now, who wants to wakeboard pls raise ur hand!

dun piss me off pls.

for the first time ever i found myself not enjoyin salsa class. yesterday i went for my 1st level 2 class n the teachers were not exactly very detailed wif their moves. i suspect that it’s due to a lack of time (damn), so we ended up pretty blur. jus when i was askin fiona abt some moves, my instructor kinda got irritated wif us n said “im gonna throw u out to the next street or sthg liddat” cos she thot we were playin ard jus like wat we always do. i din hear exactly wat she said, but it made me pretty unhappy cos i was alrdy frustrated wif not bein able to cope wif the moves.

then towards e end of the class we were puttin all we had learnt together in a set of moves, and i jus was so lucky to be paired up wif the LC guy whom i mentioned some time back. well, i was alrdy ok wif him since last sat cos he looked more serious in salsa when i partnered him in class then. so while we danced, there was a part when my arm was twisted n i hadda turn myself outta it. n that bugger did a wrong move n pulled my arm upward (when it was twisted behind my back!) and i shrieked in pain!!! freaking hell.. it was really very painful. imagine a burglar bein caught by the police wif his arm twisted forcefully at his back. nabeh..

so he did it not once, not twice, but thrice. cb. i was so angry, i said in my sternest tone with an accusin finger at his face, “dun pull my hand when it’s at the back cos it hurts alot!” argh.. i was so damn fuckin angry man. at 4.15pm, i felt so glad that class was finally over. wat a day..

so then i was at our salsa workshop, 2nd salsa class of the day n we were fine-tunin our basic steps. i’m someone who’s thick-skinned and like to stand in the first row so that i can see myself in the mirror n can see the instructor clearly. however, the instructors like to rotate us to the back so that everyone gets a chance to be in front.

fine. but then there was this girl in front of me who was so shy, she din wanna move forward when it was her turn to be in the first row. so she remained in the 2nd row where i was supposed to be standin, n blocked me. so bein the kiasu me, i moved left, right, front, back but damn, i cldnt see myself, n i cldnt see my instructor. great. fuckin great. so i missed out on that move n it jus added to the “unhappy events at salsa yesterday” list. sickkkkkk…. arghhhh… still angry.

i guess that’s why i prefer smaller classes, or better still, private classes. but oh well.. maybe when i earn big bucks lar huh. arghh… angry!!

our salsa grad nite! and the spoilt candy..

our salsa level one grad nite at xen bar was a blast!

the gang of 5 girls was reduced to jus me n mei, n we stayed frm 9.30pm till 2.30am in the mornin dancin n spinnin wif e guys who taught us new moves n cool steps! obviously we were not that keen on dancin wif our classmates since they’re most prob as blur as we are haha. so after a nite of practice and fun, this is wat i’ve gathered abt my dancin:

1. candy fuckin can’t count beats. 1,2,3.. 5,6,7 sounds the same to me. i can’t tell which is 1 and which is 5. if u do not noe yet, candy’s kinda tone deaf bleah. how shld i train myself to be more musically inclined? =|

2. candy lacks stamina and can’t keep up wif the tempo. some songs were so fast n altho i hear e beat, my brains will somehow relay e msg to the legs half a beat later. n when it’s time to do simple turns, i’m always one beat slower since my reaction is so slow. man, i needa ask my brains n legs to move faster.

3. candy is so spoilt even in salsa. generally spkin, the guys in our sch can lead better than guys frm other schs (i think!). a strong n clear lead is wat our instructors always emphasize on durin class, so the difference is very apparent when u dance wif guys frm other schs n i just hate dancin wif them!

the ai-mai-ai-mai lead simply turns me soooo off, plus since i’m jus a beginner i can’t interpret unclear leads for moves that i’ve never learnt/seen before. but, alex my instructor says we have to dance wif all kinds of guys so that we won’t be too spoilt wif e good dancers. i think he notices that i’m always poutin when dancin wif the turn-off-guys haha. hmm… alritey. =|

in any case, i still prefer guys who have a firm, strong yet gentle grip on my hands and spin me into moves that’re beyond my expectations! haha so the top 3 male partners (among those i’ve danced wif + accordin to this criterion) emerged:
1. kelvin, instructor in my sch
2. ALEX, my instructor!
3. chan, my senior in sch n my regular dance partner-cum-teacher for now. haha

and once again there’s this irritatin guy who kept askin me n mei for a dance altho i’ve displayed a serious lack of interest in dancin wif him. the worst thing was when i was enjoyin myself so much wif kelvin, that bugger interupted us n said “hey, why’re u dancin wif him? he’s an instructor!” bloody hell.. i noe that n obviously that’s why i was dancin wif him! n that irritatin guy with an arty-farty-slang went on to say “dance wif me instead!” n damn, kelvin politely left us. boohoo… there goes my fave partner for the nite. bloody fake-slang asshole!!

i simply hate lousy guys. wahahaha.

fussy bunny gets her candy.

** me: little miss chin cheong
** fiona: little miss apple

the story goes: chin cheong & apple were at the isetan private sale yesterday durin lunch when chin cheong saw an extremely cute pair of round-toed suede pumps from nine west. — i bet it’s a consequence of seein too many round-toed pumps on the streets. the more u see sthg, e more u can accept it & like it. wat effect do u call this in psychology??


anyway, as usual chin cheong neva eva gets wat she wans so expectedly they ran out of her size. not givin up, she continued to check out takashimaya and then wisma for that mary-jane-inspired pumps altho there were no sale there. both places had her size, but damn! the taka pair had a real big scratch on the suede & the wisma one was alrdy faded since they both were display pairs.


bein the die-hard shoppin queen, she continued searhin for them today at nine west raffles city where she’s alrdy reserved a new pair. but then.. this new pair similarly cld not meet chin cheong’s selection criteria for new shoes as there were glue bits that can’t be removed on the nice suede(!)

soundin like the store mgr, chin cheong told the salesgirl, “there’s no more new pair in isetan scotts, taka & wisma. cld u check for me if there’s a new pair at metro paragon pls?” and voila! hahaha. new pair, new pair waitin at paragon!

so, keepin her fingers crossed, chin cheong travelled to paragon to check out the final pair of pumps and guess wat? the suede was perfect! chin cheong somehow recalled that cousin is a metro member so she called cousin - * who was so miraculously in paragon too!! * - to come pass her the member card.

the result? it’s chin cheong’s lucky day today! she got a 20% off her new fave shoes and that’s the LOWEST PRICE IN TOWN!! hahaha. see, it pays to be fussy at times doesn’t it?
