The challenge - to learn as much of pole dancing as possible in 4 hours. Subjects of  the challenge - Pietro and myself. The outcome - humour! *laugh* Showdown of the Clorets Amateur Pole Dancing Competition took place a few hours ago, at Zouk KL. The few practise sessions and lessons Pietro and I received prior to this were finally put to the test. 4 hours of what our brains, legs, hands, body and what-was-left after the lessons, could take. *laugh*

I dare not say much about the performance except the fact that Pietro did an amazing job. He's an absolute darling to work with and we certainly shared a lot of laughter in the process of learning and getting acquainted with the umm... pole. *laugh* For him, it was the challenge of defying gravity. Mine - well, as you would've already know, I have two left feet. *laugh* I'll leave it to you to figure the rest out. *laugh* We had quite a good crowd at the event earlier. Spontaneous and fun. *smile*

The finalists were GOOD. Surprisingly, 2 of the contestants were guys! But hey, thanks to them, I now have a new-found respect for male pole dancers. You can forget about men looking feminine on the pole. Think Usher and JT. Manly yet sexy. It takes a lot of muscle control to pull off the moves they did, and boy oh boy were we all impressed.

Liang emceed the event with so much spunk and wit that all of us had a ball, despite our nerves kicking in prior to the lil' performance (that'll be me, to be more specific). *laugh* Liang's got such a cheerful, happy and pleasant personality he reminds me of sunshine. *laugh* If you didn't already know, that guy's got talent. *smile* 

It's been a wonderful experience with the pole, and thanks to our talented and hot instructors  at Viva Vertical, Vee and Lola, we managed to pull through. Oh and thank God we were put out on stage before the professionals. At least it didn't make us look so bad... *laugh* 

with Pietro, Lola and Vee. Wonderful wonderful people *smile*

2 of the youngest most talented male pole dancers I know - Adam and John *smile*

sunshine *smile* - Liang-the-Great *grin*

Oh, oh... hehe. Well, I have a confession to make. *laugh* Leonard and I got a bit cheeky during the wait for my next appearance on stage and this is what happened... *laugh*

And no, I didn't get to keep the sash. *laugh* But thanks to the team at Cadbury Malaysia and Clorets, I had an unforgettable experience with the campaign. To Claire, Karen and the rest of the team, thank you for allowing me to share my first experiences with the sport together with  all of you and the rest of Malaysia. *smile* You know I can never live without  chocolates, and when the song I wrote about these lil' wonders is ready, you guys will be the first to hear it!  *grin* BTW, if EVER my doctor tells me I have to stop eating chocolates because of diabetes or anything similar to that, I'm blaming you!  *laugh* Anyway, thank you ladies for sharing the love... *smile*

It's been a long day so I'm gonna shower and hit the sack soon... The flu bug kickin in again. Nightey-night guys. *smile* Sweet dreams!

Hope you guys had a good and restful weekend in conjunction with the Merdeka celebrations. *smile* My team and I were in Penang from Saturday through Monday, particularly for the JTI Freedom Merdeka Countdown event at Momo, which was a blast. *smile*

Our favourite hotel, the Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort Hotel was once again our gracious host for the weekend. For me, the place always gives me a sense belonging and comfort, the feeling of being home away from home. I couldn't have asked for more. *smile*

As usual, service at the hotel was immaculate and although I didn't have the chance to use any of the facilities due to time constraint, I managed to treat myself to a restful sleep during the night on the comfy bed! *smile* Luxury on its own. *smile*

Am definitely looking forward to a nice long weekend by the beach once the H-Factor Campaign is over. I'm down with flu, fever and a bad throat so struggling to stay sane during work this week. Makes me even more nervous about my pole dancing routine with Pietro this Friday! *laugh*

Will any of you be there to catch the event at Zouk? *wink*
