Malaysian Salsa Festival 2006 Part 3


Welcome back to cutmedowntosize.blogspot.com. Now, back to the 3rd and final installation of the malaysian salsa festival 2006 :)

Ahhhhh...

Day 3 was one of the most enjoyable days for me. The first half of the day was about the same as saturday. Wakey wakey, breakfast followed by a rush of work shops. In all, I took Son (which is another kinda dance) by Candice & Lautaro, Shines & Styling on 1 by jaime jesus & Liz, partner work on1 by them too and finally partnerwork on 1 by salsa sam... ...

Jaime and liz are cam whores too...hahahaha

Candice and Lautaro

As usual, i was racking my poor brain out trying to absorb as much as i could cos heck... i paid 414 bucks for this man...lol. The stuff that was thought was uniquely different. some of the moves were very challenging to lead... let alone follow...wahahahahaha. At least they were new stuff to me i guess...lol

Raymond playing ti cool with his ice cream in the frenzy

After the work shops, it was back to more camwhoring by the beach for jinn and me. Last day liao wad... must take more photos...wahahah. Spotted a couple of beach babes along the way too....hahahaha

Use colgate for sparkling pearly whites like ours...wahahahaha

After that, we split up and when about bumming our seperate ways. I went to play bridge with shirine and gang.

Yvonne the lawyer rocks at bridge ...

... however it's a different case for young....wahahahah

Bridge was a tad bit boring for us. Soon after, we went to check out the native wildlife and found this poor monkey chained to a volley ball net post. Being the nice human beings that we are, we decided to keep it compnay for a while...wahahahahahaha

Awww... cute lil' creature...

Dinner was soon after so i went back to change up. Dinner was 1 of the highlights of the day. Since it was the last night, the organisers made it extra special. There was a nice gateway, roaring campfire, nice tables with table cloths, free flow of syruped drinks... ...

We "delegates" came to discuss salsa politics?????

Roaring campfire?

Wonderful spread

To me, what totally took the cake was.... .... A FREAKIN GUPPY AT EVERY TABLE!!!!!! As part of an eleborate decoration, at the center of each table was a carved pineapple holding a cup of water with a guppy in it!!! Woah !!! I was so tickled by it man....hahahah. Should have played some lame game there and then and get the loser to gulp down the freakin guppy man...wahahaha.... The epitome of guppy sashimi man....lol

Nemo got lost again

Well after dinner, it was another round of cam whoring with many people that i could find. The JJ gang, ads gals, salsa sam... ...

JJ ROXS!!!

The final night of performance was up next. It was stunning as usual but i felt that the appreciation session at the end was a tad bit long and whiny. No offense but I JUST WANNA DANCE MAN!!!!! wahahaha.

There was a choice for the singapore participants to either take a special sunday night bus back to sg so that they would not miss work the next day. The bus was supposed to reach sg by 7am. Shirely, jinn and a whole load of people were going off so it was a final round of cam whoring wif dem.

SB7 @ the 2006 Malaysian Salsa Festival

Social dancing that night was the BEST of all 3 nights for me. Why? Cos my skin grew freakingly thick and i actually got to dance with many big names like... ... LIL LIZ, CANDICE AND SUSANA MONTERO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucky me =P like i said... being a little more thick skinned brings about many advantages..wahahahaha

Another malaysian babe
Shang hai hottie
I danced wif candice...

... and SUSANA MONTERO!!!! SQUEAL!!!!

I learned a lot about salsa that night. Many pros were ramming all their "turn patterns" from hell, squeezing in turn after turn after turn... ... As for me, i couldn't really match up with dem. However after observing for a while, i looked at the faces of the ladies and i realised one thing. They didn really looked like they were enjoying the dance.

It made me think. Salsa is so much more than bombastic turn patterns or spinning like a top. The most important thing is to enjoy your partner's company and live the moment of the dance... ... I noe that even till today, i still get carried away frequently. Rest assured, im making a conscious effort to improve:)

Anyways, since my room mates were gone, i spent a quiet and peacful last night all alone in cherating. Woke up the next mroning and crabbily took an 8 hour bus ride back to sg where a new chapter of my life was about to unfold... ...

My preciiiiiious.... ...

Sorry for such a late post. It has been almost a month since the festival. Blame it on my stats b assignment, sociology readings and other stuff all under the heading of school work. Nevertheless, i thank u guys for your patience. Hope u enjoyed this 3 part mini series...
