The Dance Floor

It takes two to tango
It takes insanity for me to dance

An unbelievable, most torturing 1hour of my life.
Dragged by Sis to take a trial lesson in salsa dancing
Ended up with deflated esteem in the world of dancing

Can’t catch up with the beats
Can’t synchronize my body parts- legs and hands swinging about madly
Can’t keep my eyes off my frantic, clumsy feet, despite repeated, stern instructions

I’m so hopelessly untalented that teacher bade her assistant to guide me through, one to one
While the class waltzed through the basics like a bunch of pro
An hour of class… seemed like eternity
Never have I ever wished that time could just breeze through, so feverishly before
And it surprised myself that I was on the verge of giving up, after 10 mins of commencement into the class

I guess I am so used to getting hang of new things easily,
The bottom of a class was never the position I have held before
I know that self-consciousness have prevented me from breaking freely into a dance
Wanting to ace too badly that my body tensed up and refused to move as willed
And I worried
About my posture, getting the precise timing, how I looked, how inept my body coordination was….
Cared so damn much… that I forgotten how to enjoy myself
A lesson learnt but not to be attempted again, any time soon

I met my nemesis
And I shall avoid it for the time being,…

Meanwhile, I shall seek solace in Mraz’s voice

Life is wonderful~ Jason Mraz

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some tears to make you trust
It takes some years to make it rust
It takes some dust to make it polished

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la

Phuket Rendezvous

I know that this is looonng overdue...
Nevertheless, the sweet memories of the fun we have in Phuket still fresh in my mind.. I was laughing my head off as I blogged and reminisced about the trip.

Trio's Phuket Trip 2006

The Resort that pampered us like kings and princess

Upon arrival, we have our very own personal GRO and porter to escort us to the room

Baliness-style room with direct access to the pool

Which we were so tempted and jumped right into it, the moment the hotel staff left us

Inspired by Water Boys...

Phuket Town

Ethan and I were left on own to explore the town- as Gerard's stomach decided to rebel against the poison that he've been feeding it...

Phuket Beach

That piece of Haven

Where we found an angel

Phuket Night ~Rest and Relax

A fabulous massage parlour that we stumbled upon..

Karon Beach
Brotherly act 1

Buddy act 2

Sister act 3

Following the local beach trend (set by tourists), we bought a set of the Beach Ball to get in the groove of action on the beach... it was such a tedious playtime than anything else...

Exhausted, burnt and famished, we took a tuk tuk back and..

Room Service!!

After a carefree indulgence in the delectable Thai food, we decided to take a short nap. Seems like Ethan decided to go for a rejuvenating beauty sleep instead...

Anyway, too bad for him...

Phuket Night

Bangla Road~ where all creatures of the Dark congregate

After a pricy seafood feast and queasy experiences of the flesh market in Bangala Street...

We finally found our way (with help from Ethan's friend) to a proper dance club- Banana Club for a good chill-out

And Gerard Almost got lucky that night...

To Phuket City

Totally Spoilt ourselves silly with Japanese yummies~!

Started playing Gerard's stupid drinking game with a flask of hot sake as the punishment....

Needless to say who was the undefeatable champion...

However the biggest winner of the day is....

Gerard. Who was reunited with long-sought-after~ Father of Ultraman

Sunset At Katon

Took a stroll along the scenic beach, easing our stuffed stomachs...

And Gerard chose to carry some weights

The reasons behind their idiotic expressions...

1) Cos I'm paying for this tuk tuk ride (that's my $ they are flaunting)

2) I am paying because I have a serious case of stomach run!!! Can't afford to walk back to Resort.

3) I'm in such pain that I can't partake in the photo-taking.. kept quiet and still, waiting anxiously for sight of our resort- while trying very hard to ignore the 2 monkeys

There you go.. Another successful trip of the Trio

Pictures of Sanya coming up... real soon.
