The awesome party

The awesome party


Sorry for not blogging lately, I'm too busy with many works and yet no inspiration for me to blog about anything yet. Thank God today i have three: time,  mood, and inspiration.

Not much words, just watch the videos and the photos. It was taken/ recorded from the Saturday before last week in Se7en1nch opening party.

I was super duper happy with many friends came to support. They came also because i've been terroring, nagging, advertising, shouting few weeks ago about the bar opening, the dance performances and etc....

So here are some pics from the party!


Beautiful and creative graffiti to the max at the entrance of the bar. Everyone's taking photo of it!


Some "red-carpet" moment with everyone! Me and Claudie


The salsa gang from left: Felicia, me, Claudie, Kim New and the lucky boy behind Wilson


Awesome cool and supportive colleague: Amberlene the one who acts chio in the middle. 

And the sweet cum. sexy ladies: Kelly- me- Joy


My party buddy: Lichi. Seriously difficult to pull him out to have party with me because he is packed of all party schedule i guess, lolz. Single and available yet handsome, lady?


The awesome Monkey King gang whom i had the MTV music video shoot with time ago. :D I was totally surprised and happy at their appearance. From left: JC (director)- me- Barun- Jeannie- Tai (rapper standing behind)- a friend (i forgot his name :p)


The crazy fun people: Ida- me- John (big joker)- Keisan 


and my MFP stands for Most Favorite Person :D : Keef who has tons of brilliant ideas in his brain. I'm so proud of you!

Se7en1nch

Se7en1nch


Anyone could figure out what the title means?

It means Seven Inch and it's the name of the new bar in Clarke Quay will most likely be opened in August. Don't ask me why it's Seven inch! That's the owner's idea. I must say his mind is full of brilliant and unique ideas, from the bar design, the graffiti, the concepts, lighting etc...Everything is UNIQUE and SPECIAL. I admire!

So what is the bar theme?

The answer is NO theme at all. There is no fixed concept in this bar because we do not want to repeat things again and again. Basically, it comes from "feel like doing" certain things in certain night. So what you need to do is to follow us closely and watch out "What's next?" I do not know

Even though I, myself as a dance choreographer do not know what kind of dance i would want my dancers to do. It all drives from the feeling inside us and that what i love too. Too many plans will kill the creativeness!

From the past few weeks up to now, everyone is busy with renovating, setting up. They broke everything out and built everything up again with a complete new look. And here I am presenting to you the look of

Se7en1nch
Se7en1nch graffiti logo on stage. My favorite place where we will perform there every night

On the wall and the place for a pole-dancer to show their skills


Pool table area!


The bartender area with beautiful colorful wine bottles all kinds on top! Mad creative! :D

Excited yet???? Not that just, what we bring to you is not just the bar layout alone, it's what you listen and what you see every night which NO other place has. I can guarantee this!

The music! General music, pop, ballad, hiphop, jazz, famous song are NOT played here! There are only Rock, Metal, Funk, Alternative, Grunge, Soul, Psychedelic...played in this bar. The songs that you might never hear before and they are all GOOD songs. I can't tell much what exactly it is. You gotta come to this place and experience yourself. I'm sure you are not gonna waste your night there because besides good music, you also can watch good dance performances done by professional dancer which is ME *rolled-eyes* and some other talented dancers.

Here they are!!!!


From left: Elle, Selina, Me, Claudie Tan, Felicia Neo, Rebecca Chen.


We've been practicing up to 3 weeks til now. What left on us are all blue-black bruises :( So damn ugly and painful, I couldn't wear dress with the legs like that. However, there is NO regret, only satisfaction after things are done nicely. I'm sharing here with you one piece of our dance practice which was choreographed by me.

Am so proud of myself for the first time choreography exotic freestyle to perform in the bar, lolz.....Watch it to believe!




 So what are you waiting for?????

Let's come to join us on our Grand opening party on 8th August 2010 (tentatively) from 8pm til 3am at Clarke Quay- right after taxi stand, opposite Yello Jello bar, you will see the beautiful Se7en1nch neon sign there!!! Just step inside, get a drink, listen to the nice music and watch the dancer move :)

I'll be there to perform 3 dances on that night so let's come to give us some support!!!!!!!! There will be NO COVER CHARGE so you can bring as many friends as you want! Yeahhhh!

For now, just follow us on twitter @se7en1nch or join the facebook page HERE to get latest update on exact date/ time for the opening party.

POWER OVER CERVICAL CANCER

POWER OVER CERVICAL CANCER


I'm gonna attend the biggest pink party ever in Singapore on this 24 July in Zouk organized by Power Over Cervical Cancer and I'm pretty excited and looking forward to it!


Reason for attending? Well, I must confess that the only reason attracts me at first to attend this party is the pink theme. Everyone knows me in real or from my blog know i love pink. Seriously! How good to be surrounded with all the pink stuffs! Am thrilled! ^_^

The party will start from 8.30pm to 10.30pm with so many happening things: fashion show, Magic Show, Pole-dancing performances, freebies, etc...Omg! *Faint*

So, any girl who is free on this Saturday MUST join this party!


Photobucket


There are only limited tickets up for grab so be hurry to secure your entry :) I wish to see all you girls there in pink and we'll do a massive pink camwhore session, lolz....

Those girls/ aunties/ wives/ mommies who are busy with other things on that date, who don't really like pink that much, who don't even care or have time to care much about your own body, you MUST attend this event too!

There is another reason which makes me feel more eager to attend this party is not only because of the pink stuffs but also a lesson about the thing called "Cervical Cancer"

"What the hell is that?" I talked to myself when i first glanced at the party flyer. And then, i had little time to read through the website about cervical cancer. I was stunned!

It's like almost 200 new cases diagnosed every year in Singapore. So means, you or I can get infected Cervical Cancer anytime, anywhere regardless of age, blood type, lifestyle, genre or anything. Cervical Cancer can happen to anyone and it can kill!!!!!! Good God, so what the hell is Cervical Cancer?

Here you go!

* What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer is a disease that affects the cervix in the female reproductive system. The cervix is about 2 inches length is the lower portion of the uterus that connects the upper vagina to the uterus. During childbirth, the cervix dilates, allowing the baby to travel from the uterus to the vagina.


Cervical cancer begins in cells on the surface of the cervix. Over time, the cervical cancer can invade more deeply into the cervix and nearby tissues. The cancer cells can spread by breaking away from the original (primary) tumor. They enter blood vessels or lymph vessels, which branch into all the tissues of the body. The cancer cells may attach to other tissues and grow to form new tumors that may damage those tissues. The spread of cancer is called metastasis.

Cut it short, see the photo:


and here how the cervical cancer looks at different stages.


 Mad gross!


Ever wonder why we women have this kind of cancer while men don't? Because men dont have vagina, as simple as that. But look, here are some serious factors and causes of cervical cancer that you to seriously think about:


1. HPV (Human Papillomavirus) a group of viruses that can infect the cervix. These viruses are passed from person to person through sexual contact. Most adults have been infected with HPV at some time in their lives. So tell me if you would never have sex in your life? Not possible!


2. Lack of regular Pap tests: Cervical cancer is more common among women who don't have regular Pap tests. The Pap test helps doctors find abnormal cells.


3. Smoking: Among women who are infected with HPV, smoking cigarettes slightly increases the risk of cervical cancer.


4. Weakened immune system (the body's natural defense system): Infection with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) or taking drugs that suppress the immune system increases the risk of cervical cancer.


5. Sexual history. Women who have had many sexual partners OR a woman who has had sex with a man who has had many sexual partners may be at higher risk of developing cervical cancer. So what you need to do? Say "Condom"! :D


6. Using birth control pills for a long time: Using birth control pills for a long time (5 or more years) may slightly increase the risk of cervical cancer among women with HPV infection. However, the risk decreases quickly when women stop using birth control pills.


7. Having many children: Studies suggest that giving birth to many children (5 or more) may slightly increase the risk of cervical cancer among women with HPV infection.


So many factors -_- So how a person knows whether she is infected by Cervical Cancer? Simple!


There are few early stage symptoms of Cervical Cancer for you to discover:
* abnormal vaginal bleeding, including post-coital bleeding
* pain during sexual intercourse, however this can be common and unrelated to cervical cancer
* pelvic pain
* heavy vaginal discharge

I you ever have such symptoms, do consult the doctor near you for advice. For now, i think the best way is to visit Power Over Cervical Cancer to find out more infos. You can either read the information in the website or give them a call for any advice.

PROFESSIONAL SHOWDANCE CHAMPION.

PROFESSIONAL SHOWDANCE CHAMPION.


Some of you who have been following me on Twitter, Facebook, most probably know what's happened at last weekend. The biggest achievement I've had in my 9 years dancing career. No Joke! I and my dance partner won.
PROFESSIONAL SHOW-DANCE CHAMPION!!!!

in 11th Stardust Dancesport Championship on 27th June. Presenting to you the big and beautiful trophy.



Happy, excited, crazy...Of course! But above all, I must say it's a SATISFACTION! It's a reward of so many nights (almost 5 days/ week) of practice for 2 to 3 hours each day.

It's a REWARD for all the blisters on my feet, the bruises on my legs, the pain on the body till the next day I couldn't walk properly.

The big COMPLIMENT for the patience that I spent every night on making the dance costume on my own for that competition.

I think among the hundred competitors, I might be the only one who self-made dance costume. Most of the costumes are made by professionals which cost more than a thousand dollars each.

From this normal teddy or monokini whatever you call it, I cut it off into a few pieces.


  The original one wasn't like it :D

adding some shiny fringes i bought in Malaysia time ago......


Every night, I spent at least 2 hours after my dance practice to make this. The final result is this

No one helped me to take the photos :( so I came out with the idea of #selfie i front of the mirror. The photos aren't that bad, are they?

My dress turned out to be quite...sexy! :D


My competition was on Sunday and only Sunday morning, I completed the whole dress with the hand-made accessories come together i.e bangles, earrings (in exact same color) and

Nails

Bling bling bling! ^_^

Close up!

Ok, I know those manicurists can curse me or hate me more now because I did my nails myself too. Sorry for taking up your business, it's just I didn't have time for you. Anyway, it isn't perfect if I don't want to say it's lousy nail arts, but I did it on my own, hello! What you expect?

I have not mentioned about my shoes yet :p
Here they are!!!!



 So brand new look plus the shiny crystal * I lost count of how many crystal i've used* I super love it 

Now you all know why I was named Crystal.
Before ending this blog entry, here are some of Dancing in Action photos that you might be interested in looking!



My super strong dance partner!
Sorry, there weren't many photos captured because everyone was busy watching. I had great friends came to support me that night, feel so happy to dance for them too.

And here is the video!




So, you like it? :D :D :D :D :D

Hue (part3)- The best place for photography.


There are so many beautiful places in Hue for photo opportunities. 
There are many old palaces in Hue, the places where all the King and Queen lived in the old days. I felt like watching those old China movies when I stepped in those places. 



Posing next to Perfume river!

Super nice and windy that day! It was about to rain actually and the sky turned dark very quickly just in next few minutes!
