I was really busy in the Vancouver trip and didn't study any dance; I went to parties before the vacation and thought I was safe to know all the ‘new dances’, then I came back and realized I missed at least 10 dances and became so ‘out’
SIGH I studied most of the new dances myself and followed in the advance class, least the BMF won’t laugh at me or tongue out to me. SIGN. i love line dancing but it's so stressful in learning practicing & teaching, oh, and parties, and family's, i even have no chance to talk to my friends via emails
i will go to my instructor, winnie yu's party tonite, have to review the new dances and the 70+ dances on the list, I’ll be dead. tony wasn't happy last nite when i told him i will go party. VERY STRESSFUL, after all, i have to quit at least 1 for now, guess what will i quit ??
will let you know after the parties .... =(

my vacation in vancouver - eat, eat, eat
we've spent 7 days in vancouver, the main purpose was to attend simon (tony's cousin) & his wife victoria wedding banquet on july 4 (saturday); that was a beautiful banquet with very yummy food, victoria was so pretty, looked like a movie star
we kept eating from day 1 the dim sum lunch to the last day, also dim sun lunch, never disappointed with all the good food, only 1 concern border me, i would gain lots of weight after the trip ;P
too much food, can only highlight a few of them :
- japanese noodles in the food court in aberdeen centre, believe it or not, even the noodles are yummier than the food court here, =(, ate a lot;
- port jerky, yesssss, i eat the pork jerky from bee kim heng only, all my vancouver friends & relatives know that they have to buy me the pork jerky from the same store or i don't see them ;D
- a tiny japanese restaurant in downtown, it's different from the traditional japanese restaurant, it's still traditional, but serves in small dishes, a bit like chinese dim sum, they have the hand written manual and change from time to time for the seasonal and fresh food; and the price was good
sorry to write so much about the food, personal opinion, i found people in vancouver spend a lot of money in eating & living, but don't care much in clothing .... ?? i shopped a bit but didn't find too interesting, and still bought some tees & jeans ^_^
btw, the hotel we rented was riverrock casino resort, a suite with king size bed & sofa bed, very nice & clean. highly recommended =)

World Line Dance Newsletter Survey
Line Dance Newsletter, you can subscribe free by checking out their website : www.worldlinedancenewsletter.com
just read their weekly survey ending 7/12/09 tonite, and found out that my 4th dance was chosen in the survey; the first one was womanizer, then move shake and drop, then give me 1 reason, now the no.4 – Eden.
With that many dances being made everyday, I don't know who pick the dance and who vote for the dance. However, it's truly my honour to be one of the choreographers.
To be a ‘no name’ choreographer, it is hard to be recognized and accepted and the dances received around the line dance world. I don’t know how much longer I can hold on to my line dance dream; since some time ago I was so pissed off with the BMF – bad mouth fly, then I stopped my choreography and focused on learning, practicing & teaching the new dances, and I am very happy with the outcome of my hard work.
I’m working on my upcoming party, SIGH, so much work, some people can dance on this day but not the other, the other group can’t do this and that, dadadada, anyway, will confirm the date in due course
Email me for the party dance list if you are interested or tell your friend to contact me at 416 399 3997 for the party details =)

TOOTH FAIRY
do you believe in tooth fairy ? when tooth comes off, you put it in the tooth chest, and the fairy will give you a lucky coin
one time, jon jon had a tooth fell off, he put it in the little chest besides his bed then 2 or 3 nites, i forgot to put the money in, then he said 'mommy, i must be too late to bed, the tooth fairy didn't come' i said yes, my dear, they stop working after 12:00, you should go to bed earlier, i then made sure myself put in the coin that nite =)
another time, Stefi fell off her tooth in mexico, i thought that was cute to put in the peso as the lucky coin ??
last week, i drove kids to do shopping, both chit chatted at the back of the car (i love to listen to their conversation, always funny); jon jon said he makes $9 so far for all his baby teeth, Stefi said '$9, my gosh, my fairy was cheap, she gave me peso - Cad. 5 cents, WHAT A CHEAP FAIRY.......'
I became the 'CHEAP FAIRY'.... next time i'll give a gold coin to make them happy, yeah right, gold coin, not a chance, i collect them but not to give away for a TEETH ..... me, cheap fairy

Jon Jon feels much better =)
Jon Jon was tired the whole morning & afternoon, we went picked up my mom from North York, shopping in Fairview Mall; bought an I-tune gift card from Apple Store for Stefi's friend who's having a BD wave pool party this coming Friday.
We picked up the reports from abacus in the afternoon, both stefi & jon jon didn't want to go to the church program so i skipped it; jon jon started to played soccer inside the house in the evening, fought with stefi for something, then i know he is feeling good now, he's either sick OR too much energy ...... =)

Jon Jon is Sick (his turn ?!) ;((
Friday morning, Jon Jon woke up early and his throat was sored, i gave him throat drop. He looked tired when came home from school and had fever, i fed him fever relief. i scared him he may get 'swine flu', he asked me will he die, i told him he will turn look like a pig but won't get die, only those get no one to take care of; then he told me to take good care of him. yes, my honey baby, i kiss him 300 times a day how could i don't take good care of him.
will keep you updated ......

IF U SEEK AMY by Britney Spears
hello my dear, i've uploaded my new video 'If U Seek' in youtube, it's britney's again, i like her songs and wanted to make a dance for it, then found out an UK choreographer, David Thomas, did the dance already so i just danced and taped it to save me time ;))
i showed the clip to my good friend, a very experienced choreographer, he commented : 'Looking at the dance, one could swear it was one of yours. Its good.'
hey, thanks for telling me, i noticed from my video that most of the steps I used in my own dances before, no wonder I used little time and felt so easy (relax) to do the dance.
Bad Mouth Fly - keep your damn mouth shut, don't ever say i copy steps from other dances, this one was done after mine !! Steps are steps, no steps are registered or patented, just see how you use and connect them, well, BMF may not understand though.
Taught Reach Out and reviewed TOP & Nu Flow this morning, i love 'reach out' great music & dance.
Ciao guys, will come back soon

hey big spender
heehee, i spent some money this weekend
bought a set of wireless microphone; the one i have about US$100 was bought from US, it was OK before then the sound equipment in the studio moved around and i got lots of echo and couldn't stand it anymore
the new one from Cosmo, no tax day on saturday, $550 + accessories, less than $600, it should work fine though --- 'moneywise' :D
i used to buy expensive purses when i worked as an executive officer in a telecommunications listing company; getting too busy lately, tony wanted to buy me a bag and i had no time for him, finally, we went downtown today, bought a new arrival 'gucci' over $1,000 ;P, how long do i have to teach to make up the money, oh well, tony paid
i finally finished my yearly body check from november last year, it has been 2 weeks from then and get no urgent call, that means i'm safe, will meet the doctor this week to find out all the results, cross the fingers ..... X;-)X
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY =)

Stefi is recovered ;-)
monday, a foggy rainy day; stefi got up in the morning and had light fever, i fed her 1/2 dose of fever relief, she went to the track & field for the standing long jump
sorry not that I wanted her but she wanted to
i had 2 classes in the morning, winnie's assistant called me while i was in the 2nd class and said she couldn't find my new dance 'give me 1 reason' in yipee, so i went home and picked up the step sheet & music and went to winnie's class, unexpectedly, winnie taught my dance in her class; she did it so well, danced into the music .....
i admire her, she taped and uploaded in youtube
click this link to view her video of my dance :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vtCqDtnd6g
then i rushed to pick up stefi & her friend at dufferin & king road, oh my, they looked like 2 abandoned kittens when I saw them, cold, shaky & coughing, i bought them hot chocolate and i knew they would get sick easily; the next day, stefi didn't go to school and her friend didn't go neither, i bet you, most of the students went to the track & field got sick ;P
stefi went back to school on wednesday, she didn't win this year and was a bit disappointed, that's OK, girl, as long as participated, that was a wonderful experience
she didn't eat well for the last couple of days, looks skinnier from her skinny shape
today, thursday, she's fully recovered and we will attend a contest awards presentation in markham tomorrow, stefi's team won the 2nd prize from 200 groups of students, so proud of her. we went to the school art nite last wednesday, 3 stop motions were displayed and stefi participated all of the 3 displays. stefi, i'm proud of you, my sweet girl
don't forget you got the genes from me ....
will stop here, come back again to check me

Stefi is sick :(
last week was crazy busy, most for the kids
stefi practiced the dance performance for the school art nite last wednesday; after the show, she started to practice on thursday & friday evenings for her martial art - chinese kung fu grading, she got sore throat
on saturday, kids have to skip both chinese and abacus; we went up to magna centre in newmarket for the grading from 11:30 a.m. until 3:30, it was freezing cold there, and she couldn't put on her jacket coz. she needed to do the forms in kung fu uniform; she passed and got her 2nd belt
we went home around 4:00 and i was too tired, took a nap, basically i didn't get much time to practice the dances for the line dance party at nite; i went to the party, danced so much and had fun even i didn't remember all the steps and of course the BMF-bad mouth fly showed her damn face to me; i keep telling myself 'ignore her, ignore her'
;P still trying, sometimes can, sometimes can't
went home before 12:00 a.m. and prepared the material for sunday morning class; mom told me stefi got a fever, fed her fever relief
she's still sick today, fever with sore throat BUT SHE HAS a long jump tomorrow for area competition, i told her not to go but she wants to, oh well, will see tomorrow morning, hope she's OK, last year she entered into york region competitions
pals, thanks for reading my blog
i have a thinking today, don't know why i want to be a line dance instructor, i would be a lot happier if i just dance, no competition, no enemy (hey, don't get me wrong, i don’t compete to others, no one is apple to apple, how to compete ???) but some others don't understand and don't believe my theory
SIGH, i taught my girl when she was 3 - just do your best, compete to yourself, do things better than better, that's the only thing under your control
