Les Ballet Trockadero De Monte Carlo

I had so much fun watching the Trockadero's with my mom n Chris. Although I ended up being really sick, probably from laughing too hard. It was the most hilarious performance I have ever watched. A total must see for every dancer!



FYI, they are an all male dancer company that performs like a full company. Yes, on pointes and everything. It was ridiculously good. They mastered the female techniques of classical ballet and poked fun into female dancer habits. The humor was from both the choreography as well as the execution of the moves. I figured I could not possibly put in words the hilariousness of it. So, here are a few videos from Joyce Theatre. The first video being swan lake. Yes, they performed both Odile and Odette variations including the pas de deux!!! And the second video is of dying swan. My super favorite. Look at the arms. Gorgeous! An excellent performance, I would highly recommend.

Everything is finally falling into place..

So much has happened over the past few months that i don't even know how to explain the situation. Okay, so here goes..

I spend an awesome New Years to start the year off with Chris!=)

I hate the bitter cold winter in Montreal...

I slipped in the snow...n there went my ankle...2 partially torn ligaments currently being treated...

I continued dancing on it in preparation for the Mexico tour.

I got deported from Mexico...

I was stranded in Miami...

Chris, my knight in shining armor came to the rescue...ok..don't puke..=P

I spent a few days in New York...

I returned to Montreal to speak to my artistic director and packed my things to head home...

I returned home to Ipoh...loving the company of my family and my little Mo.

The first few days I was back..i got assigned ballet classes to teach...so much for a holiday

I got my acceptance letter to Columbia...I was over the moon!=)

I currently have my ankle wrapped up and it feels awful having to limp around...

I can't wait to dance again..

I will be going back to NY soon...=) yay!

Fallen in love with Jacqueline Appel's pretty apartment...

So, it's a bitter cold Saturday afternoon and I was just lazing around at home with my TV playing the ONLY english channel and I just fell in love with this apartment featured on Home & Home. So beautiful...she was an ex ballerina now a designer...it's so beautiful..i love it!




I am a very boring person when it comes to designs. I used to only love the olden british designs you see in old castles. This is totally a new something for me. Totally fell in love with it. Never imagined pretty any prettier...Totally loved it!
