There are fans. Crazy fans, ridiculous fans, obsessive fans and enthusiastic fans. There are also fans that are under that umbrella, meaning all of the above. Now when it comes to me I’m the last one.. The one that is “all of the above”. When it comes to Nike!! And you cannot believe how ecstatic I was when I got this email from Nuffnang saying this.

I remember the time when I was just getting into picking sides between Nuffnang and other ad services. Nuffnang had my full attention for a good minute or so because I saw this beautiful symbol sitting on their front page.

Yeah the Nike Logo… that got me hook and since then I have been waiting for Nike to pick my blog to advertise on. Yeah sure this ad can be on tons of many other blogs but ooooh I’m just so happy that it is now resting at the top of my header. And it matches my theme too hehhee. I’ve been a loyal brand member of Nike since.. oh gosh… I can’t remember, but it was definitely after the Reebok and LA Gear phase. Nike suddenly just became so prominent for me, with their fancy products that I still believe in and most of all their philosophy of “JUST DO IT”. Did you know that the Nike logo was bought for about only 15 dollars then when it was first design by some young kid? That’s alllllll!!?? In school I was practically deemed Nike Girl by my classmates. The first time I heard I didn’t quite like it, cause i thought it was some sort of negative teasing (which it can be depending how you look at it). Then later on I decided, heck why not! I love the brand and their stuff at least most of it is fantastic and I look good on them… Heh. Allow me to be terribly narcissistic for a bit and you can dis me on it later :P . But I love Nike! I love love love. If I could I would work for them, and just enjoy being surrounded by Nike products and words… Sigh… Ooo.. Nike..

The website is gorgeous too.. which looks to be my next inspiration hehe. The link when you click on the ad, brings you to the Nike Women website. Which is as always flash based and it shows all the things in life dealing with physical activities that people have turned from a LOVE into their LIFE. It is also so empowering and encouraging to know that women are getting into different sports out there which are not really associated with women before. Take for example breakdancing which is still a very male dominated dance. Man all the stuff they showed on the website looks like so much of fun. Frisbee, Basketball, Kickboxing, Bellydancing, Biking, BMX and -something new for me – Punk Rope. (I’ll talk more on this later, but in short it is a new exercising trend that uses the skipping rope with High intensity music) Oooo and just check out the diary which is at the top part of the page. In order to maneuver in the flash website click and drage this bar which is in the middle section of the page. Anyways back to the diary or fitness log. Doesn’t it look so scrapbook like?

Well for my weekend other than really just chilling out, I’m going to KLPAC yet again for a Jazz Music event. It’ll be held at KL pentas 2. Calling all Jazz lovers and performers. Come over to the place. You can either choose to book the tickets or you can get them on the day itself. It’s free seating, so rush on to get the better seat in the house.

This is what the performance will be like. SYNOPSIS: As the title suggests, the spirit of music is celebrated in this concert, which will feature 20 original compositions – 10 instrumental and 10 vocal pieces.

There will also be four vocalists who will sing mainly in Chinese.

Yamaha Guitar

By On · 2 Comments · In Uncategorized
Yesterday me and Giden had gone to Kelana Jaya somewhere in the evening, to the mothership Yamaha. They were having a clearance sale and Giden was looking to get a guitar. He went through a number of guitars and I think a few of the sales people became victim to his fickle mind on whether to get the guitar or not lol. It also didn’t help that the guitars were running out fast. A number of people were quite set on getting a guitar. They had good guitars at really bargain prices. He finally settled for this one. 021220071057_resize.jpg See how blur his face is. He is so into his new guitar he didn’t even know I took this picture of him. Hhahahaa img_0551_resize.jpg And here is what it looks like in full. Now it sits in my room. Not bad for a nearly RM1000 guitar.. we got it for about RM650 along with strings. It has a really nice sound when you play it to, very nice feel. But i really liked this particular guitar. Too bad it’s a bit out of the budget. 021220071054_resize.jpg Had a beautiful feel when I strummed what pathetic tunes i knew on the guitar. But it felt nice and Giden agreed, so I can’t be that musically incompetent. hahaha. Sale is over now… but I heard they ahve another one in March. For those music enthusiast, i’ll keep u guys posted here.

The End of The Show…

…for now anyways. Today was the final day of the Practical Aesthetics class. And I miss the people already :( sigh…. It was loads of fun… I repeat loads of fun acting with everyone in class. Working through the different exercises of the “as if” and “repetitions”. Two things that were essential in order for us to really just give each character a different touch for each scene. In a way you could say that this method is used to refine the edges of an actor for a role. This is just one method that I have been exposed too there are a lot more… Anyways…It was the last day and I’m hoping that there will be more opportunities to work with the group for, who knows, future productions and what not. Well cool part is that i’ll still be visiting KLPAC tomorrow along with Min Li and Grace for the Physical Movement workshop. So yay! The last day which meant presentation day to a small group of friends and the KLPAC crew, went rather well. It was just a bunch of scenes that we had tried out in class and did them for the final presentation, showing people what we have done and have achieved out of the class. In all honesty, today’s was the best for nearly all of us that had performed. I’m so proud of you guys! Everything went well and even better. Those who never had acting before at least got to give it ago, and those trying to get into it, learnt something more. I haven’t got the pictures yet but when I do I’ll put them ASAP! What I have are the pictures of the after math lol. Crazy group photos and crazy dinner. Lol more to come..For now… i’ll show the crazy group pic img_0545_resize.jpg Nutsie picture hahaha img_0547_resize.jpg where we all started jumping img_0550_resize.jpg
