Let's Line Dance ..............for fun & fitness in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Watch it ! The Pirates of The Caribbean landed in KK on 29 Aug 2012. See all the smiling faces? They have seen their target ! Captain Hook came with sword and HOOK. Where is Captain Jack Sparrow and Blackbeard, the most feared pirate of all?? Missing Pirates are Loi, Diana, Janet , Amanda, Jeanie and Margaret Sinsua, Fung
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.
For 2011 - a most beautiful waltz to a lovely song that will take your breath away

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.
I am in JB now for Neils Poulson's Workshop tomorrow. Today it's a shopping day for me and I see bright checkered shirts on sale everywhere, in all designs. I was told many line dancers will be wearing them tomorrow. Please search your wardrobe for your checkered shirt !

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..

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
