this past weekend was such a memorable one for me. guess what i did???? i belly danced!!!! hehehehe... the event was arabian night over at siloso beach and bedouin groove was called in to perform. i wasn't slated to dance initially but on that very day during rehearsal, fauzi asked amit if i could belly dance to ojos asi. and he agreed!!! thank goodness his wife, lily, brought along an extra shimmy for me to wear. it was definitely fun!! when we arrived over at siloso beach, the stage was small but cosy though it seems that there was lack of space for the band. we had a new singer to sing with yed. her name is key. yes, that's her real name!! well, after changing and breaking fast, it was finally time to perform. i was getting quite nervous actually, considering it is my first time belly dancing in front of an audience with different race and culture. i came up on stage and the song came on. fuh!!! the adrenaline rush was intense!!! kicking aside everything that i was thinking, i just did my thang!! the audience even clapped!! and i was the only one the audience clapped to while dancing!! i was so happy at the end of my part that when the song 'kiss kiss' came on, i just went up to the audience to get them to dance with me on the dance floor. i didn't even know where that courage came from!!! but it was seriously fun. i even got to dance together with lily. by the end of everything, i was just so darn tired. at least i made new friends... some of them from the audience, some of them from lily and i even got to make friends with one of the technicians!! super-friendly me that night... hehehe... seriously, i am proud of myself. when i thanked amit for letting me perform, he actually said "i will be hiring you soon!". that was like one of the biggest compliments i can ever get!! plus considering that i've always been concious about my body, after that night, i truly felt good about myself. there i was dancing in front of an audience in really tight pants and belly-baring top. i worked up a really good sweat on stage!!
later that night, after a good shower, i almost immediately went to sleep and never woke until the next morning. so syiok! still feeling a bit tired from the show though. and just now, baby and i went to bugis. finally get to eat laksa after a year of not eating it. i've always held back when it comes to laksa because it is so sinfully full of coconut milk! but i ate it with no worries just now. i don't even know why! :) walking around bugis, we ended up buying two pairs of jeans for each other and a pair of bikini for me. suuweeet!! hehehhe...
right now, i am just waiting for my sweetie to log in. wonder what's keeping him... meantime, i guess i should go eat first. so hungry... *runs off to the kitchen*
