I am a dancer!

I love to dance.. Dancing is my hobby. Maybe Im not a great dancer, doesn't have that superb movement, Im still learning, but I really love it. I love to learn every cultures dance. I also love non-cultural dance like ballet, jazz, modern, ballroom etc. Its just that I don't really have a chance to learn it. For the moment, I was exposed to Malaysian cultural dances; Orang Ulu dance (which is my own culture dance), Ibanese dance, Melanau dance, Bidayuh dance, Malay dance, Orang Asli dance, Chinese dance, Indian dance, Sabahan dance and so on. Just the basic moves for some of it. I love learning different dances because each n every dance has its own uniqueness n what I so-called the beauty of the culture itself. I would like to learn more varieties of dances! Maybe from other countries too! Im so loving it!! I was involved in dancing team since I was in Secondary 4, a bit late but early enough rather than no chance. Thanks to my good friend, Sebastian! From then, I started to be involved in dancing performances, small or big the occasions are, paid or unpaid, that's not a matter for me. All Im craving for is the excitement in each and every of it. Practises. Musics. Teamwork. Everything is lovely!

Posing after performance for Closing Ceremony for Malaysian National Race held in Miri year 2005. Can you spot me there? Huhuuu..

2006, during the Miri-Bintulu Division Dance Competition. We got 2nd price out of 7 competitors. Surprisingly for us, because, we, school students, unsponsored and moving all on our own, were competing with professional dancing teams! Really happy. Thanks God! The lady standing 3rd from right is our beloved teacher, Madam Zue, who was always there to support our team. Thanks ma'am! Miss you.



Earlier this year, we performed in few occasions. It was supposed to be my holiday break but it turned out to be my busiest period with plenty of performance. Well, it doesn't matter anyway, any chance for me to dance, I just grab it!

It is not a traditional dress, it' s an ethnic-creative dress.

Last practice before performance. Performed in Imperial Hotel.

Pic with other dancers, well, looks like Im the smallest in height, but, I got incredible spirit! Hehee.. As what people always says, "Don't judge a book by its cover."
These two are my best friend ever, Cecilia and Sebastian. Both of them are dancers, Sebastian is our leader n chareographer. His dance moves can makes you hold your breath! Traditional or modern, just name it, it's all in his mind! I adore that in him! I just wish he will succeed in it.
