Last day of training..

  Today,I had my usual class with Miko in Bangsar.I always look forward to my weekly classes with her because she gives me confidence and always believes in me(when I don't). I am extra happy today because I managed to do the reverse crucifix..finally! After weeks of trying,I finally got it! Now the question is,should I include it in my routine??..hmmm..

  I worked extra hard today because I was fixing my techniques on the spins and inverts. This is the last time for me to reconfirm anything with Miko before the competition. She has helped me a lot in terms of prep talk and confidence boosting. In fact,she was the one who persuaded me to join this competition in the first place. Thanks a bunch for everything Miko/Sam..you're the BOMB!

  Although my right lower arm is still killing me till today, I can feel that my hands/arms are getting stronger as days go by. I'm starting to be able to do stuff I couldn't even dream of doing before. I'm most certain that this is because I have been poling almost everyday for the past 2 weeks..I am not complaining! I love poling..

  I was hoping to practice tomorrow,but there is no pole Xcess session. I guess I should rest..plus, I've got tones of chores to complete. I'll just run through the routines in my head for the whole day..

  It's kinda sad that this journey is coming to an end..I've learned a lot,experienced new things and met new interesting friends. My lovely friends and beloved family has been giving me their absolute support. At times like these, you come to realise that a lot of people do love you..and you feel blessed. 

Training day 6

  We had our last group rehearsals yesterday..finally we completed the choreography! Like finally!! I felt kinda guilty..I was being a bit bossy!! We had very limited time and somebody just had to take charge. Somehow,being the eldest makes me feel responsible to control the situation. If my fellow contestants are reading this, I'm really sorry guys! We just need a few more run through to perfect it. 

  On the other hand, I'm feeling nauseous like hell..Feel like packing my bags and fleeing off to another planet! Notice how many times i have used the exclamation marks in this post so far??...signs of a nervous breakdown..(talking in screaming mode and anxiety attacks)..uh..uh..uh..
I can't breathe!!

 Well,being the warrior that I claim to be..I have to fight this battle with courage and determination. No chickening out! Born to be a fighter..I'm starting to talk crap..better stop now!
O.U.T!

Pole Xcess session 4

  Well as predicted..my prayers for a pole wasn't answered! Fat hope!! hahahahahahahaha..
Okay,as you all can see, I'm going berserk! The pressure is driving me nuts..in a way,exhilarating!
I attended pole xcess session and tried my best to complete the choreography. 
I did,but..errr...Can I remember it? 
I bought a new pair of shoes especially for this competition.It's gorgeous but I keep loosing it. It's too wobbly and I don't want to risk a broken ankle..I shall stick to the comfortable but 'not that matching with my outfit' shoes. By the way,safety is what matters most right? Better be safe than sorry..
  The xcess session went well. I managed to gather my focus for the whole 2 hours to complete the whole routine. By the time I'm done, I was incredibly exhausted..now,a new task! memorizing the steps.I'm sure on that day I'll be so nervous,I won't remember a thing.

Pole Xcess session3

  I am pushing myself..pushing really really hard!! As hard as I could.. 

  Today I attended pole Xcess in Hartamas for another 2 hours. I forced myself to endure the pain of skin against the pole. I have very sensitive skin on my inner thigh, therefore its very painful for me to do all the tricks that requires me too cling on the pole. But I have too..i don't want to surrender!! So today I did as much clinging as I could..almost too much that I literally walked funny on the way back to the car..hahaha!

 I tried to finish as much choreography as I could as "The day" is just around the corner..This is pretty much nerve wrecking for me now as time is running out. I seriously..I mean SERIOUSLY.. need more time!! My routine is in a mess..

 Tomorrow would be the last chance for me to finish, clean, perfect, practice, memorize..yadee yadee yaaa..pheeww! my routine..(are you kidding me??!!)

Wednesday-Fit pole group training
Thursday-Class with Miko
Friday-???(I hope Fiona will be kind enough to open the studio for us to have a last chance to practice)

P/S: *in praying mode*..dear god, please let me wake up to a beautiful shining pole sticking in the middle of my living room..Amin! (wishful thinking)
