Happy New Year 2011






As 2010 comes to a close let's sit back and recollect all that we have achieved,
enjoyed and experienced, the good times and the not so...all of which will fade away in time. The friendship that we all share through the bond of linedancing is to be treasured as we encourage each other to continue our journey of good health together. With God's blessings we will continue to dance together for many many years to come....for FUN and FITNESS.

I look forward to another new year with you & share the most exciting and most enjoyable dances that we can find.
Happy New Year 2011.
See you on 5th Jan.

Danz 4 Good Health, Peace & Joy 2010

I had a blast at today's very successful event hosted by the Lim sisters(Danz4Peace) in Johore Bahru. This was the 6th annual event.
The guest star, Niels Poulsen was indeed a handsome charmer, a crowd pleaser and the best instructor you can ask for. He taught 4 beautiful dancers which I would share with you in due course.
More than 500 dancers from all over Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia burned the floor from 9.30 am to 6pm.
10 from Sarawak and a LONE RANGER from Sabah (hey, that's ME ! ) graced the annual function.
The hall was filled with pulsating music as we were entertained by so many exciting performances, dance workshops by Philip Sobrielo and Niels Poulsen, and the non stop jamming sessions that was packed by feverish line dancers.
This was my first attendance to this annual event and I will definitely attend next year's 7TH function....WITH MANY SABAHAN LINEDANCERS. I hope.
Please enjoy my SMILEBOX of photos above . Just click and wait a moment for it to upload.(can enlarge by clicking on photo)

Congrats to the Lim sisters who have put in so much effort and time not only to organise but also to SPONSOR this annual event.

Beautiful Indonesian Song with lyrics as follows:-

Tuhan tolonglah
Hapus dia dari hatiku
Kini semua percuma
Tak kan mungkin terjadi
Kisah cinta yang selalu aku banggakan

Kau hempas semua
Masa yamng tercipta untukmu
Tanpa pernah melihat
Betapa ku mencoba
Jadi yang terbaik untuk dirimu

Reff:
Oh mengapa tak bisa dirimu
Yang mencintaiku tuluh dan apa adanya
Aku memang bukan manusia sempurna
Tapi ku layak dicinta karena ketulusan
Kini biarlah waktu yang jawab semua

Tanya hatiku..

Tanpa pernah melihat
Betapa ku mencoba
Jadi yang terbaik untuk dirimu
Kembali ke Reff:

Waktu yang jawab semua
Tanya hatiku..

It's Amazing taught on 8 Nov 2010

A smooth flowing slow cha cha tempo to an inspirational song by Jem. Lyrics as follows:-

"It's Amazing"

Do it now
You know who you are
You feel it in your heart
And you're burning and wishing

At first, wait, won't get it on a plate
You're gonna work for it harder and harder
And I know 'cause I've been there before
Knocking on the doors with rejection (rejection)
And you'll see 'cause if it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

[Chorus:]
It's amazing, it's amazing all that you can do
It's amazing, it makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you

Patience, now, frustration's in the air
And people who don't care
Well it's gonna get you down
And you'll fall (fall)
Yes you will hit a wall
But get back on your feet
And you'll be stronger and smarter

And I know 'cause I've been there before
Knockin' down the doors, won't take "No" for an answer
And you'll see 'cause if it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream
