After attending Zhang Zhen Hong’s album launch party, we headed to another party. Nisa’s birthday party. It was good to see some old friends (friends i’ve abandoned for salsa ) They’ve been complaining that i went MIA.

As usual, the party is filled with ALCOHOL! But for once, i’m not attracted to it. I know i have to stay sober for salsa later. But thanks to Henny & Alvin for making such yummy Mojito…i couldnt stop drinking. Been awhile since i had Mojito, i forgot how yummilious it taste.

The whole night…i never left my cup without being filled up with Mojito. I realised it’s time to stop when i start talking crap, laugh like a hyena and i couldn’t even stand properly. It’s not good! I picture myself *sweeping* the dance floor in Divan!

I decided not to go to Divan, but i can feel my feet itch. I slapped myself awake…NO MORE MOJITO!!

To those who would love to try this drink, it’s easy peasy.

It is a slow, dawdling Sunday afternoon. Feel like I needed a break from a long exhausting week. It hasn’t been a pleasurable one, as I was too caught up with work. And my body pleaded for a good rest.

Aside from work, I can say that life is a joy.

I attended Zhang Zhen Hong’s album launch in Halo Café, Sunway Pyramid yesterday. Many would have ask, who is Zhang Zhen Hong? I would say, he is a great guy, with the greatest enthusiasm and passion in life. I have yet to meet someone so determined in realizing one’s dream.

I got to know Zhang Zhen Hong through my salsa guru, Jeamie. Believe it or not Zhang Zhen Hong is Jeamie’s guru. So, this makes him my Great Grand Guru (3 G’s).

When I first know him, I have no doubt about his dancing skills, abilities, proficiency; after all he is my si qong. What was so unbelievable was to know that he’s a lawyer. And added to my “shockingness” he can even sing! And he’s releasing a new album!

Do read about his thoughts, feelings and views as he penned down on his blog at http://zhangzhenhong.blogspot.com/ and get the latest updates.

As promised. On the 24th, Zhang Zhen Hong launched his album. For those of you who are unaware, an EP is essentially "half" a music album because a typical album consists of around ten songs. It has taken me three years to produce this "half" album of five songs. it has been a long and challenging process for Zhang Zhen Hong.

It was a wonderful event. Press, fans and friends all got together to support him. He performed 2 songs, but we hungered for more. Zhang Zhen Hong totally serenades us! After all, who could have resisted such talented singer with good looks? Absolutely a *package*.

Zhang Zhen Hong , a lawyer who has a decent day job, he went through years of waiting, disappointments and diaphragm torturing just to produce an EP. He is now living his dreams of coming out with his own music. Now his dream is realized and soon, you’d be listening to his music over the radio.

Go get the new album today!

I’m tired.
Are things working out?
Why must he drop me a mail now?
Should i respond?
Am i as strong as i think i am?
Why is this so hard?

Hear me right, management of Divan certainly heard our suffocations. And they have responded. It was so much better this around. Let’s do a little check.

Dance floor – Pass
Aircond – Pass
Song selections – Pass (Kudos to DJ Xavier)
Entrance fee – Almost Pass
Operating hours – Fail

I was doing some calculations (for 2 pax). Though Divan is nearer to home, I was actually spending more than my usual hang out – Salsa Havana.

Salsa Havana
Entrance Fee – RM 9 x 2
Parking (flat rate) – RM6
Total heartache: RM24

Divan
Entrance Fee – RM18 x 2
Parking (flat rate) – RM 6
Total heartache: RM 42

My vote will definitely go for Salsa Havana. But will still hang at Divan *occasionally*

Date : 29 - 30 March 2007
Time : 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Venue: Parkroyal Hotel (Grand Orchid Ballroom, Level 2)
Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 KL

WARNING TO ALL MEN!

Beer contains female hormones :

Last month, National University of Lesotho scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.

Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men develop female characteristics.

To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects:

1) Argued over nothing.

2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.

3) Gained weight.

4) Talked excessively without making sense.

5) Became overly emotional.

6) Couldn’t drive.

7) Failed to think rationally

8) Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary.

This might hurt, just in case you think you look like Brad Pitt and you don’t. It’s time to wake up. I did the celebrity look alike in my earlier post, and yes, it is amusing! I discovered that i can look like different celebrities with different pix! So, if the result generated, and you look like Kelly Obsbourne- Don’t be sad. Just upload another pic!

Thanks to Tim, I can now see how my friends fare in the *Most-Controversial-Reality*

 

 

An interesting poem. Thank you Neeraj for sharing.

Start where you stand and never mind the past,
The past won’t help you in beginning new,
If you have left it all behind at last
Why, that’s enough, you’re done with it, you’re through;
This is another chapter in the book,
This is another race that you have planned,
Don’t give the vanished days a backward look,
Start where you stand.

The world won’t care about your old defeats
If you can start anew and win success,
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress;
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand new trial right at hand,
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.

Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid,
To-day’s the thing, to-morrow soon will be;
Get in the fight and face it unafraid,
And leave the past to ancient history;
What has been, has been;
yesterday is dead
And by it you are neither blessed nor banned,
Take courage, man, be brave and drive ahead,
Start where you stand.
