Diva of BJ and Master of BS

Came back to my desk yesterday morning and Tony's MSN message was popping asking me what cake should he be getting for Farid. Hmmm? What's going on? I guess it has to be for a birthday celebration. We went through all kinds of cheesecake choices from Secret Recipe, but decided on Tiramisu from Heavenly (wow delicious, till this point, I just had to invite myself to the party haha), then we had ended up with a chocolate mousse cheesecake which JE bought. It was delicious, and love the shape of the cake!


So I cancelled my plans to MML and LM for BJ at Axis with our BJ Diva. I had already pleaded for teacher not to laugh at me, prior to the class since I know I will definitely look clumsy.


Doing class with the bunch of BJ advance level gymfreaks were a plus point to start with as I could refer them for the moves; Doing class with Tony was great as he always gives clear demonstration and tips on the moves, never before tried to confuse or pressure members with "spot test"- a definite good choice for beginners (and also rusted jammers like me) I'd say. Plus, there will always be additional little movements and gestures which never fail to add flavours and fun to the class.


Me... of course did badly in the class, but with good guidance from Diva teacher, at least I could stick to the correct left and right leg coordination. I gave up most of the hand movements so I could stay focus on not stepping with the wrong leg, to the wrong side, or stepping on someone else. As it was, I already felt that I was constantly "magnet-ing" to the people around me. Beside my "magnetic problem", I felt that I'd tied many knots on my legs with all those twisting. Having said that, I actually love the salsa track (was that a salsa track? me bad with tracks and their details as usual), but don't like the "robot" track. Geezzz...


Tony was in his usual elements last night. Though I found him being particularly jolly whether or not due to the Christmas song played before the start of the class, or that he was really "in love" with Dominic for that hour last night. Or perhaps it was because of his "evil" plan forming at the back of his head. Hehe...

Diva teacher told us during the beginning of the class that he would be changing the cool down track. When we reached that moment, our little Diva announced that we were singing a birthday song to Farid, and so the highlight of the night where our birthday gal performed the birthday ritual - candle and birthday song - on stage. Could see her really surprised expression but nonetheless presented herself with total poise when got invited on stage.

Finale was one of our, or rather Farid's, all time favorite, don't ask me what track please... and followed by the feast.

Great planning, I heard the main organizers were Diha, Elaine and JE, with our Grand Master of Birthday Surprise to execute the plan in the class... and so, Tony the Diva of BJ (Body Jam) and Master of BS (Birthday Surprise - not Body Step k)
