Pole Stars 2009!

2009-06-16T20:23:00.007+08:00

It was a very eventful day indeed, what more; it’s the first time I was participating in a dancing competition! Pole dancing competition! Thank yew organizers : D

It started off with the stage rehearsals @ Saigon Bar in the morning which was supposed to start at about 10am, and didn’t start proper until 11am which was like.. Malaysian timing at its best. : D I was kinda tired from practicing till late the previous day, choreographing the last of my finals dance, so I arrived fashionably late, and just in time for the Fitpole group to rehearse.

After that, I lingered around to continue practicing and to get used to that small cramped space we get to dance on. I was so worried because my palms were sweating uncontrollably and if this happens later, I wouldn’t be even able to execute my routine let alone complete it. Fortunately… Kenny had brought along an extra pair of gloves, which saved my life. WOOT!

By that time, it was about 3pm and I returned home for food, I hadn’t eaten the whole day so I was extremely hungry : ( So I requested for some mashed potatoes… Yea, requested, because I CAN. So my lil sister made mashed potatoes for me while I returned home : D Fresh, mashed Holland potatoes, and that’s how you should be eating potatoes kids. I devoured my lunch and proceeded to sleep.. what a pig D: its called hibernating. I didnt have time to eat dinner.
So I awoke at about 6pm and scrambled to get ready for the competition. Once there, well, I was actually decently early, I popped in my headphones and practiced my moves. Damn, I was nervous ><>: )

The Fitpole semi finals didn’t start until about 9. And when that was over with, I got selected out of the 6 to be in the running for the finals^^ Sadly.. Michelle had to go : (

Anyway... yea, and it was this time which I forgot to bring the battery pack for my ultimate costume! I was so tensed up I wouldn’t be able to get it in time and sent my dad to fetch it from the house.. Thanks a lot dad! So yea.. Jenny went first, then Tess, Jeaney Olly.. then ME! And I forgot my moves towards the end.. DAMN. It cost me my place : ( It was so close! Well, that also isn’t the attribute I guess, I’ve got a lot more to learn as a dancer.

But yea… Runner up isn’t that bad! : D Great for a freshie^^. After that, I could feel all the built up tension disappear. All the hard work and effort used for 4 minutes of fame. It was a great experience : D

After that, I celebrated in Bangkung with a couple of drinks! O yea~

Stupid Fella :P

Special thanks to: Arthur, Marianne and Riz for the pictures : )

Check out these sea creatures @ Aquaria KLCC taken with my handphone cam

( Is secretly Leorando)

He keeps his swords in his shell.And when he isnt in the tank.
Notice that his flippers turn into hands.

I am still uncertain what fish this is

Now, this is the reason why you shouldn't pollute the water kids.
In mean, you really want to see big fish in the sea.
If you pollute.. there wont BE any fish.

Yes, well, there are other pictures havent been uploaded, they're pretty wicked.

Back for Fan Blogging!

2009-05-25T23:59:00.008+08:00

Alrighty! Im back into my blog, and as you can see im not a very avid blogger. So firstly, if you're wondering whats Chunky Monkeynism, its my stage name for Pole Dancing! Well, Chunky Monkey is, but if you support me, then its called Chunky Monkeynism!!
Whats this all about? In the very short week ahead, Pole Stars is coming up on the 6th of June which is... about 11 days away!! Zomgssss... Chunky Monkey will be in the running for the finals ;D that is.. if you vote fer meh! Haha, but as much as that plays a part, I'm still putting in every ounce of effort into this. (Summore got to study and pinish assignments T_T)

The contestants have to go through the semi-finals group dance routine before they pick the finalists, and they perform on that day itself! I know! Crazy right? Therefore, I am practicing like mad. I had 4 hours in today itself xO. Well, I'm pretty sure every one of the contestants are working hard.. and killing themselves to think of choreography! *strangles*

Warming up for Fitpole Dance Routine Session

We are still stuckeh with choreography..

Pertolongan cemas ahmad di apresiasi!!

The only way I could get myself into the picture!

Brainstorming

Bamboozling

and...

Babooning ^_^

Ya loh, so thats whats pretty much what has been going on. And well.. most of us dont really agree with the song choices given.. kinda bickering how it ends so abruptly here and there.. but oh well, doing the best I can! We can.

In an unrelated news, my solo dance routine is kinda whack. Been trying hard to look for some good beats and music to dance to. And oh, Audacity rox if you want to mix music : D. I really hope my sweaty hands dont become an obstacle for me to overcome that night... CHALK HELP ME. Yeah.. im like really tired now and of to shower, sleep, study, class, sleep, pole, my life routine.. for now xO.

Practicing for the Econs Ball

2008-10-19T03:39:00.006+08:00

On Monday, 13th Oct, Zufar approached Me and Riz to play for the Econs ball that was to be held that following week on Friday. We thought it would be worth a shot and what the hell, opportunities like these don’t come very often. We started our practice the next day, and I honestly did not think that playing in a band required so much effort. We practiced for about 7 hours on a single song, trying to harmonize and synchronize our individual parts in the music. Our first song was to play an acoustic version of Maroon 5's, “Won’t go home without you”, a decently easy song to play. I played the rhythmic, and boy did my fingers hurt, it was pretty sore… I hadn’t touched a guitar in ages, yet alone played in a performance! My guitar skills are pretty much at noob level so to speak.. I’m not worthy!! : ( Riz played the Bass, and Zufar was on the lead. I was meant to play the drums, but the Econs Department didn’t have the budget to rent one just for a single band performance.

Zufar teaching me the chords

Riz, on the Bass (Poser sial)

Jon, being a professional.. ellehcheh hahaha

By the end of our jamming session, we were friggin exhausted, disorientated, dazed, and all the other adjectives you can think of after 7 hours of instrumental power play! I was already lying on the floor drained, and thinking, shit, I have to study for my friggin quiz on Friday.. Im going to be so screwed, oh well.

Viva Vertical Pole Out Night

2008-10-12T01:46:00.012+08:00

Last Friday, Viva Vertical held a Pole Out Night @ Mardi Gras for people to have fun and have free access to Pole Dance! Unfortunately, it was crowded and jam packed full of people (very unexpected.. but yeah, it was a Friday night), and I was pretty shy to pull out any moves : ( I got pulled out by Kyeth later and I whooped out a chopper! (No pun intended! olol) and ended like this..

Haha! Looks cool though.. surprisingly

And thats Trix on the Pole!

The girls were pretty much awesome too!

After a fair bit of dancing, we settled down to celebrate Kyeth's 20th Birthday.

That was pretty much everyone from.. Talent Hub.. and extra's who came down to party that night. Kyeth's in the middle posing a peace sign. : D Silly Kenny, the cake smudger (don't know where he went), and Yen, the person behind the picture aren't in the shot.. Overall, although the event wasn't as -exciting- as i had anticipated it to be, I still enjoyed the company and meeting up with friends, getting to know them more than the hi-byes, glances from afar, and help during pole access :P However, I had to leave early due to my curfew and bid goodbyes to everyone and left for home.. It was a fun night out, and I hope there will be more to come.. especially with moar drink!! RWAR!!

A game that everyone should be playing..

2008-10-09T02:07:00.004+08:00

Although it is only officially out on the Nintendo DS only, it is a must play! This game is not for you serious storyline gamers, but its the game style and game play which keeps you entertained for hours! Especially job class pumping.. xD If you dont have a DS, download the .nds version and get a no$gba emulator to play :P Its worth it.

Pole Practise!

2008-10-09T00:54:00.005+08:00

Today, I had my mid terms for PSY112.. which was horrendous! I wrote long sentences of nonsensical words for le subjective which was titled, Realistic Group Conflict Theory...wtf! D: And in Philosophy class, Ms. Yap talked about Art, how philosophers like Plato think of it as.. destructive, corruptive of the mind, twisted, degenerative of the brain and you get the picture. For as Plato says, reality is just as we perceive it to be, and Art, physical of its character is only an illusion, which fills the mind with distortion and defiles us as of how I have described above.. Interesting huh? Numbskulls.. Anyway, after classes I played basketball for about an hour and a half before I decided to stop by my dancing studio. A quick call, and it was only a walk down from the court. So I went in.. tired, but still had the energy to start cam-whoring.. Lol!

A variation of the Flag

The Gemini

Some move which name I dont know

Yeah.. and now, i'm about to collapse on the keyboard due to exhaustion. Good night peeps! >_>

7th Oct

2008-10-07T23:59:00.005+08:00

This is dated during the month of November 2007. 4days after prom, Black Tie & Diamonds
The stress from organizing the prom, and all its other subsequent stessors that were related to it.
It was a time of great release, specially from a certain, well, emotional moment in my life that year.
Im over it dont worry. Lol.
I was at Bangkung Park in Bangsar, where if you see my earlier posts, was sleeping in on New years day. Nothing feels better than having a swing at the park at night. Seriously. Especially when you're feeling down, walk to/ or drive to a park, a relatively safe one, and take a swing on the swings. (Not a swing of alcohol you nut -_-) And nothing is more satisfactory than climbing up the swings.

Yeah, that shadow you see there is me looking up into the night sky, and the view up there overlooking the park, its really beautiful. Haha, and guess what are those miscellaneous things under me. Its.. ALCOHOL HAHA. So it was a SWING OF ALCOHOL really, HAH gotca fooled! It was both, i just felt like drinking cuz of the after-party after prom. My friend managed to swipe a bottol of Black Label out from MardiGras which came into my ownership.. so i decided to finish it! Woohoo! Come and join me some day, and i guarantee no drinks.. -_-

Reintroduction!

2008-09-19T21:53:00.006+08:00

Its been close to about 7 months and 22 days since my last entry into my blog. The journey i've had from that point in time to the present, where i sit, contemplating about the words that are to be displayed on the screen, rather, stimulating to my physical, mental and emotional vigor. Of course, this is based on the fact that i had to fend of fiend's from the netherworld, demons from beyond, slay dragons from the craggy mountains, trolls from the undergrowth, raiding golbins, pillaging dwarves, and...

ZOMFG! ROBOTS from outer space!

But seriously, im in my third semester in psychology now, and so much has passed. For example, encountering a negatively aligned Tiefling ninja! ( . Y . ) !! (Fortunately i rolled natural 20's and survived her charm spell... Pheeww!!) In a related quest during my journey, I fell off my horse three times before taming it as my own, well, i still have problems while tethering it when i go on foot.
You probably will have difficulties understanding my post, for i make much references to D&D (Dungeons and Dragons), and use them as symbolic representations. It just makes things more mysterious that way. *throws his cloak over his shoulder*

At a local tavern, a conversation went on like this:

After a fulfilling dinner..
J: *blinks* oh my gosh.. You know what?
R: What?
J: I almost called the waiter to order air paip instead of ais kosong..Olol xD
R: *laughs uncontrollably*

And, the most related picture that captures an interesting aspect of my life right now would be..

Me doing a monkey climb!^^

Until next time folks!

Party All Night Dance Marathon 24hours Craziness : D

2008-02-26T21:28:00.017+08:00

Wow, its been almost like a month since this event has passed man.. Lets have a sneak peek at how it looked like... Ahhhh~ See that?

Looks damn shiok right? Haha.. it WAS! Lemme see if i can recall the detailzzah!

First of all, we created the logo for da event! On an elevated area on the lower ground floor. It took us alot of head scratching for ideas.. cuz they cut up the words so small.. but thanks to my brilliant composition of thoughts! (bows and bows more) haha, we came up with da design! Woot! Check it out

Yeeeaaaaaaa...! How badass is that? ^.^
Anyway, i was supposed to go as a participant.. but i turned out to have quite a distingushed post.. Lookaadat!

Fuyoh, damn swee right? HAHA I got to do corporate communications.. Which basically means talking to the journalists and media that came, and entertaining them. Yeah, okay..make fun of my short hair.. : ( I dont care.. =.=

The event went on pretty smoothly, with the many appearances of local celebs.. like Belinda Chee.. from 8tv^^ flash and non-flash^^

Heh heh.. Pretty neat aye? I created a glowing heart out of the glow sticks.. aint that Creee-ayy-tive~ And.. Hannah Tan too^^

Woot! But i still prefer Belinda la.. Haha xD

I cant remember the names of the others who came too.. oh well..
And... Back to the main article..
There we're groups like Urban Groove that came.. they were friggin awesome.. I swear, they came with their main group of dancers, and it was a bloody blast!! Very enjoyable performances. Oh oh, Kenny Sia and Juwita Suwito came too! Although.. i didnt get a picture with her : (

Yeah, awesome huh? It was really tiring staying up for that amount of time (40 hours btw.. new record for me!), dancing in between performances (alotta sit downs :P), and stuff like that. Luckily for the staff, we had a nice room to rest out legs, chit-chat, lie down, and do shit.. muahahhaha. We had maggi too which was > most food served... xD ah~ i would even say that it felt nutricious the moment i started pouring the hot water in. *drools* Oh, the staff also had.. Lotsa Starbucks coffee :P

Sadly, many people kinda left in the wee hours of the morning.. : ( Stay on laaaaa!!!! Have the spirit!! So, you know what happened next..? There were piles and piles of goodie bags to be taken home^^ AND in ADDITION to that.. there were CRATES and CRATES of mineral water and STING that were unopened.. and at this moment.. rotting in the Student Council Room.. Haha. So, here is where i end on this article.. i shall not elaborate further.. i think here is a good enough juncture.. UNTIL next time comrades!

P24!

2008-01-15T00:47:00.001+08:00

Currently.. I am too tired at this point.. to tell you all about it.. But i will soon k!

Oh Yeah!

Psych Orientation 3 Jan

2008-01-03T17:34:00.000+08:00

I guess that i would be going on to The Psych Department to continue my studies!

Hopefully it will be a great 2008 like it was in 2007..
To start it off like all boring Orientations.. was the Introduction to the Faculty!
With lovely speeches by the staff themselves (yawn yawn yawn..)

And then after that, we had the "meet the seniors" session. Although i was quite reluctant to go.. cause my gang tak mau pergi.. i went with it anyways.. and it wasnt so bad after all. I got to meet lots of new peoples. We went fer lunch, and then later got our teams prepared for some games.
We called ourselves.. the Psychedelics! After all the lame names that we thought off xD

Our "mentor" was in the middle.
Me, Xin, YQ, Alvin, Yee Ling, Meng Li, Sue, Salva, Melania.

We played like 3 games overall, and I guess it was really fun making new friends. More people to spread the Jon-ness and his lameness..hahaha

Check out our Card Castle.. The KLIA!

Wootzah! After this, we had another game of acting out a psychological disorder using fairytale themes. The Psychedelics received the :Bipolar Role.. olol ( a disorder where a person has sudden changes in his/her mood swings, spontaneously turning from happy and sad..etc)
And... the fairy tale we chose was.. Goldilocks.. and the 3 bears! (which we cut down to 2)
Where Ihad to be Goldilocks.. -.-

But soon after.. how time flies, we had to adjourn.. But we'll probably be seeing each other throughout the whole year lah. No problem! This is the last shot as well, although some of our members have already dispersed..

See the extras? ahhaha

Cheers, for yet another exciting adventure with JonJon!
