I miss Isaac, I miss dancing with Isaac. His embrace, his ead, his emotional connection, he can make any female look so beautiful, and his move just so fantastic.

How i wish my BA fund can grow more and faster, I wish i can go to a real milonga. To feel the music, to get the atmosphere, to dance there. I wish i can go there and learn to dance. Do nothing but just dance day and night. So that my skill will improve.

I feel in asia or singapore, looks play a major part in Singapore milonga. If you are slim or pretty, you have a high chance to dance on the dance floor. So if you are like me, big size, over-weight and not so pretty, you can sit the whole night, just sit.

I am putting so much weight, I can't stand it. I need to lose it, fast ! I wanna to go Bali, to feel the sands, the sea and the beach.

I went to the milonga, i just went for the music, and to see people dance..... I can't be bother ! When i hear the music, so relaxing till I wanna to sleep.

Milonga @ Gary's House









What happen if your parents are overseas ?

Is party time..... But this time round, i felt is very special.... The classmates of Tango in Spring gathered at Gary's house for a milonga session.... Own very own milonga, people who we are familiar and close..... Jolene, lydia, theresa, clareesh, may lin, and jody plus Gary, Jerry and siew yong, siew chin, tian haw, kim soon with how meng and su-lynn.....

I have to say, it was warm, super warm with the temperature( maybe 31 degree as it show ), or we are just not used to dancing without aircon.... And because it was at a house, we are dancing without our heels, just with the socks..... lol..... Thank God, su lynn taught us to dance with our barefoot in practica, with the 4 wheels. Apparently, we are 2 wheel drive, most of the time, we are tip toe so that we can dance and turn better....

Most of the time, I was sweating, with the sweat dripping down.... But after the few tanda, i felt that since it was so warm, can't be bother, just give mine heart and soul to dance, give my top and heart to my partner... It was wonderful.... no fixed steps, just enjoy every moment dancing, no matter what situation, whether the mac book is low battery, or the sweat and heat presence....

People who love ice wine ( courtesy from jody ) ! I have gold inniskillin !










It was so cosy, to have people we are so close, and thank you Isaac for teaching us, thats why we are so close together.... and yes, Gary is finally dancing at his own milonga...

Winter, Gary's dog, was so cute, he followed gary when he was dancing, and around the dance floor.. Most of us enjoyed ourselves...

I can't wait till i have my own place and do a milonga of it too... With aircon and finger food, and wines.....At least i hope 38th floor is windy enough... Hoping that this group will be as strong as it is now when isaac come back and teach us more....

I love the music and the embrace while dancing.. I loce to give my soul and everything to the guy to dance and to be lead by them... Is not an easy journey, with me still mastering the basic of walking properly and doing ochio. Just hope that it will be progression and i will dance better..

While going for shopping today, i felt that i am so much so comfortable in heels than flat, especially if they have the stray and dancing shoes, look alike.... I cant wait for justin to go to New york, i need a pair of new shoes, hopefully comme il faut... argh....... Pls pls pls....Just one pair first...

Life without TANGO

It has been 2 or 3 weeks, since I put on my dancing shoes.... And i hate it, i am getting very cranky, i am impatient, and i just got too much thing that i would like to let go.... I wish i could have a good tango dance...



There are time, when the music is so strong, so much emotions, that i would want to cry in the car, as well as my whole body has chill when I was hearing it.... I miss the music, the dance, the people.....



I would break down easily without tango...... The only thing that can keep me going in, to earn more money and fastest way as possible so that I can go to BA fastest, so that i can dance all I want.. is a sacrifice i made now, and i hope i will not regret.....



I wish that i had this perfect dance partner, just like isaac and su lynn.... that could dance and dance, and is beautiful....... is so sweet to see them dance..... the joy, the emotions, the skills... argh... is fantastic......



Yesterday, opp my house blk, there was a doa fall from height, by the time my mother saw it, the alpha and the police was there, covering already.... of course i know, it doa....... i miss the adrenaline rush, going out for call, but i never regret leaving there.... I am in a better place, doing planning that is more meaningful. People might not be able to see now, but they will regret.. Financial PLaning is long term, not over night... You can't plan a seed today, and expect a big tree tomorrow right ?



Is interesting, to see life from different persepective... I have been thru different experience to give me a all round perspective.. I can talk about almost anything to peole.. and that's y i think my ex dun mind talking to me when he is down, just intelligent conversation.....It was nice to have a drink with him yesterday, to know about his current status and last time..



we were from the same work place, same station, different scope of life.. but we have never interfere each other job, cause we respect each other job..we didn't even need to say... cause i dun want someone to teach me what to do with my medic, so do him doesnt need me to teach... so thats a invisible line and a unspoken rule... and we are fine with it..... I like it that way.....



Is never easy to work with your partner especially if is the same workplace, unless the cards are lay properly before... if not, one word, CHAOS......

Disappointed Milonga....

I am so disappointed with the tea milonga today...Just like the way i expected, no wonder I had strong feeling of not going, but since they wanted to go to support WT ( which he was not there) . The performance was so so, but the milonga and the music.... hmmm... I should have just save the money.............. Lucky we did some practica before the milonga..... It just that i wanna dance more.... Now i am hesitate to go for the April class cause i just had some feeling not to go.. Maybe the farewell milonga at Orchard.. It is so bad now that i dun mind listening to tango music during traffic jam... I just wish i could dance and dance.... It has been a enjoying moment when i dance with particular person..... The feeling is great, the connection has been better.... and is more friendly........ Nope... It just like a great dancing partner.......




So is the Organisation Health day yesterday, when the whole unit get together and do some sport.. But the trick is, the team who has the highest average sales decide what to do, and the lowest average team sale get to plan... so it has been our team for the last 2 month....


This time round, we had netball... it was a long long time since i played it...Probably was in secondary school... And i was excited cause i get to play, need some exercise... Barely 10 min, everybody was breathless, and i sprain my right leg again...


And then, i stopped running so much, and concentrate on shooting.... I manage to have ONE goal.. not bad leh... cause i don't know what position i am good at for netball....
oops..... dun think i am getting the pay rise this year.. lol... fighting the ball with the boss...

Of course, yours truly was the first aider for the day... What would u expect ? Iodine is the best.... lol... in fact, i had never really treated abrasion last time, i mean apply medicine, cause there was none in the ambulance last time. It was more for myself cause i always injured myself.

I could feel the aching over all my core muscle, but i had fun... Even thou as a working adult, we still do some events to keep the bonding and to be healthy.... We are competitve in sales and we can be competitive in sports......



When i went back home, my bilateral knee was killing me and i could hardly walk....

Tango on weekday

I met up with Joe last week, and I told him I am learning about AT. I couldn't really explain layman on how to dance AT, cause is all about emotions and feeling and connection. He asked me about music, then i told him, most of us, will listen to Tango music on a MOnday.. cause it make us feel better. Anyway, i love my life now with AT.

After somehow stressful week, I manage to turn up for the milonga at Zenbar on Tue Night. I was happy not because I get to dance but because i can meet my friends who are excited to dance AT.

I coould relax myself at the place and listen to the music and look at people dancing. Till a point, when the milonga music was playing, even i didn't have invite, I would start to practice my milonga steps alone stationery.... And WT was nice, so i get to dance with him... And it was cool.. I feel that my steps are better, some turning, it was good that it stay on the ground, some , it just fly out in the air.. More practice then......

Then I am siting there with no invite, but then i still enjoy. I could talk about shoes with the gals, and music to tian haw, and he was sharing with me about orchestra and singer. When theresa was there, she had the blur look like . "what are you all talking ?" I told her, that is what you can do if u are injury or sick, do other part of AT like Music.

When i am siting there, I realise that, our class gal like lydia and theresa have really improve. If i don't know them then i would even know that they are learning less than 3 months. Their move, their emotion, their stability in the step.... our class rock !

Then, i went to have supper with WT, and he share with me certain experience about Tango and some people. Always interesting to hear other people view.

Practica 3 @ POMO

Went for lunch, as we were reaching the location, the rain pour heavily, that the force from the running rain from the block , broke my umbrella.... and i was drench as if i never use it, and my make up became smoky.



Then i realise something : Financial Planner take away the umbrella when the weather is good. They give you the umbrella when the weather is bad.

And and the same time, doesn't mean having an umbrella means it will keep you dry, you must also have a umbrella that is adequate enough to keep u away from the rain. ( Adequate or sufficient coverage ). Nah, not talking about sales talk, more on sharing my view as a financial planner after I started working as compare to before. Yes i know, i did have some, but never realise that it was not enough.



Anyway, I went back home and bath but was too late to meet up with the girls that we suppose to look at Tango shoes.... Went to pick them and realise some of them were missing and they went somewhere else...




Then we continue to proceed for practica, practice forward and backward walk and the basic of AT dance... Loving milonga step and music , just that is can be very tiring. The first time we started it, like 2 weeks ago, it was killing us, the step and the speed. But i just love the music and step compare to last time, probably there was practice now.

And what amazed me was, when we were practicing for our walk, Gary finally turn up affter touching down from Zurich in th morning. He asked me, why i come, nobody hug me.... Then i was like, " argh... cause u r late.... u expect us to hug u ? Then he came on talking when we are practicing for wall.. Faintz...Then when we practice for the open practoce walk, he say he wants embrance, How meng just laugh.....



We have an amazing turnout of 17 people, and 10 was from my class... 6 gals and 4 guys. I am sure we did isaac and su lynn proud, by continue to dance.



Today, there are 2 new GUYS.... Lydia's friend, Jemmy and Theresa's friend's Kelvin.... We need guys....... Then i remember, for us to be isaac's student is really different... We really knew about connecting and basic... and we could dance better than any one who has just started too.




After the 3 hours of practice, we had 3 cars and went to Singapore Cricket Club by James and Irene invitation to eat there , and finally no chicken rice for this week!




The food was good and we enjoying each other company, especially our own class..... And Jemmy and Gary was truly hungry... The last 2 survivior clearing all the dishes...





Not only we learn AT from Isaac Ho, but we had build a special friendship from this special appreciation course organised by Wei Tang. It was truly, deeply special and thankful !
