Dancing and My First Flash Mob : Highlight for 2011

2011 has been a year filled with highs and lows..
(I will not try to recall any of the stressing moments though)
....but as for the happy moments...I must say that one of the best things I've done for myself this year is taking up dancing...it feels like the right-est thing I've done this year...(it didnt come immediately, considering I started looking after Chinese New Year, which was in Feb, and only in May I manage to find a class I considered good for me....
anyway...dancing is now becoming my second life...I can't life without it!! (I am currently learning Street Jazz and K-pop dances)

(my first life? working - not a choice, becoz no work, no food...so you know how it's like) ...but dancing? pure enjoyment!!! (well there were the stressful moments too, like when I could not make my hands and legs to work in sync ;P but the best thing is...practice makes perfect...and buoy I can't tell you in words the satisfaction when I could work those steps out finally...now after half a year, things are so much better compared to the first month when I started....and I am enjoying every moment that I dance, and every new step that I learn....
and, and, and....the best thing?! in just half a year, I got to join a flash mob dance....!!! I was just so overly excited when my dance instructor asked if any of us wud like to join....I mean, I first knew about flashmob in Jan 2011 and I actually had the chance to do something like that in the same year, being just a newbie in dancing?! it's just an amazing opportunity for me...
and I must place here all those photos to remind myself of the good moments I have with the group who joined the flashmob...(it was actually a performance for Bizzy Body - for which Jessica Hsuan Hester endorsed the slimming programme)...these guys and gals are super nice and most of them are very good dancers!!

Living with hope

ok, so the title sounded a bit exaggerating but that's what I thought it is for me.
I found this blog which is giving me some hope on my eyes, and I know I'll be hanging onto it for quite a while.

One Eyed Girl - My Life with Strabismus

Jonathan Wong - Out of Frame 王梓轩 超越格式

Can't help liking this album, it is so rich with a variety of elements...and every single song is just as 'rich' and I can't find any boring song!!

Classical music, violin, hip hop music, dance, Toy Story, Wong Fei Hung...could you imagine all these in one album?

and to add to it, it comes with a complimentary dvd of Jon's performance with the HKCO (Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra)

there is still much room for improvement in terms of performing live (as seen from the few clips of his performances with the HKCO, but this young man is already very good...

looking forward to his future work ;-)

Jonathan Wong 王梓軒 《超越声音》

Listening to this album and finds it really good, not all songs are commercially inclined but a few have more artistic touch to them
I'm loving all the songs but liking especially: Seawave, Lullaby, 情诗三百首，南北极, Tell Me, Separate Ways, Roswell, 1+1.
Many of the songs have acapella incorporated (if this is the correct way to describe?), heavy or light....which I find really nice~

Amigos para siempre (Friends for life)

Sarah
I don't have to say
A word to you
You seem to know
Whatever mood

Feels as though
I've known you forever

Can look into my eyes and see
The way I feel
And how
The world is treating me
Maybe I have known you forever

There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
I'm alive when we are together

生与死：一线之差

a dear friend's post on FB which had me thinking (and had me in shock!!)....yes I think she's right, thank God that He sent angels to watch over her!!
although I am not a Christian but I just want to pray for Ju again...as she's prayed for me as well...
(once in a while, especially previous times when things are tough, I do pray in my heart as Christina told me before that I need not necessarily know how to pray the 'correct' or 'proper' way (the way a Christian would say prayer)...but if I pray from my heart, God knows it and will answer my prayer...so yes, I will pray again for my dear friend...please God, if I could ask that your angels remain with Ju, as she's one dear friend who always give her heart out to her friends

Artistic artist

I couldn't discipline myself (again =.=) and found myself surfing (again +_+) while working on my testing =__=
Anyway, this....is so artistic...I really like this so much....
I saw the MV 心足 first (refer previous postings) and then came across this - the making of this MV...and can't help to think that this artist (Jonathan Wong) is really artistic...and as I am saying this, it strikes me that actually (and seriously)...how (not) many artist nowadays are that artistic...really...
(What's making this MV artistic? I am not too sure but to me it's the dance...the moves made such good pairing with the song...and the entire 'feeling' of this, is so good.
Note: Listen to it using a headphone, not a speaker - let the music fill up your entire mind for you to feel the song~)



ok...i must stop blabbing and get back to work really....argghhhh...inject some discipline into me please...

Loreal Casting Creme Gloss - Hair Dye without ammonia

I've been looking for hair dye with no ammonia in Malaysia for so long...and now it's finally available....I bought Loreal Casting Creme Gloss - it is clearly labelled 'No Ammonia' if you are looking at the shelf...I was in fact most interesting in using Loreal's Inoa but unfortunately it is not available for home user, only at saloon...and I've been having my hair dyeing job done at home, so forget Inoa...

One of my favourite...

Can't help turning this nest into a mini youtube...ahahaha~

Rebirth - Jonathan Wong

Happen to pay attention to this young guy singing on TV and found his songs nice...
here's one I am currently listening to：再生
Jonathan Wong (a.k.a Jon Wong) ...a multi-talented young HK artist who composes, plays instruments, and dances...

The adjustable suture technique

Something for my own reference:

The adjustable suture technique - this surgical procedure allows the surgeon to change the eye position in the immediate postoperative period while the patient is fully awake. The operation is done in two stages. In the first stage, the extraocular muscle is secured and placed on a suture in such a way that the muscle location can be changed the following day when the patient is fully awake. The second phase of the procedure entails adjusting the position ofthe muscle so that the eyes are properly aligned. The adjustable suture technique is particularly useful in complicated strabismus cases, such as in the treatment of superior oblique palsies where the eyes can be misaligned vertically, horizontally and even torsionally.
With the adjustable suture technique, there is a much better chance of straightening the eyes with one operation, rather than the multiple surgical procedures often associated with the correction of strabismus in adults.

I can't help googling on this again as my eyes - are diverging so much like they are coming off the eye socket these days...too much of the computer and tv screen...aihs...anyone know of any great doctor for complicated adult strabismus?! It is so sad for me to read that they have great docs (yep, for adult strabismus) in Wilmer Eye Institute, the John Hopkins Hospital in the US....such an impossible choice for me~~
