I posted this video a few years back, but this is just so interesting that I have to post again.

Evgeni Plushenko performing to Oops I did it again and Sex Bomb.




The video must be a few years back, but it is still so fun to watch.

I know that there are a few controversy to Men's figure skating these days, particularly with Plushenko losing to Lysacek for Gold and Johnny Weir deserving better than sixth place. People have been saying about Plushenko being a bad sport and a sore loser, but my stand is this. Haven't people noticed that most websites/ new stations/ webcasters are american based? Who will you side if you are American-based? A Russian's skater (Plushenko), who is just really upset that he lost and felt that he deserved so much better, or an American skater (Lysacek), who did put on a good show, but knows that the results could be otherwise?

No prize in guessing the above.

Maybe I am a little biased, but I do like Lysacek. If Plushenko did not come out of retirement, I am fully behind Lysacek. He is a good skater. But Plushenko caught my breath first, and for me, it is first come first serve. In Lysacek's defense, he handled the whole situation very well. I just think that the press and America could have blow the things out of proportion.

Plushenko is upset that he lost, and who won't speak out? And frankly speaking, I think the whole situation is out of his favour. Look at how the American figure skating judge Joe Inman said about his skating before the whole Olympics. Somehow, I feel that the olympics judges could have been harsher on Plushenko to prove Inman's wrong.

Sigh. The only good thing about this whole thing is that, Plushenko is thinking about competing in Sochi's Winter Olympics as his last games. Before this whole thing, I am convinced that Vancouver is his last games. Now maybe not. The question is, who will be willing to travel to Sochi with me to watch him? It's kinda an ulu pandan place!

Btw, Sochi is in Russia.

And btw, his official name is spelt as Evgeni Plushenko. There are many variations to the english spelling of his name, but he said before that his preferred spelling is Evgeni Plushenko. I don't know wha tis wrong with IOC or the tv network that spelt his name as Yevgeny Plushenko....

Anyway, the other thing is about Jojnny Weir. He is so fun to watch, but not necessary the best skater in the world. But then again, he is someone who couldn't care less with what the media has out of him, and I like him for that.

Anyway, just one last thing. If you guys have the time, go find some of the men's figure skating pictures. They can be quite good looking! Look out for Stephane Lambiel, Brian Joubert, Daisuke Takahashi. Hell, Lysacek looks good too.

Haha, sad to say Plushenko is the worse of the lot. I have a problem with his hairstyle. Maybe I will post all their pictures when I got the time.

Cheerios! Back to ice dancing and ladies' skating!

Sasha Cohen is not in the US Olympics Team for this Winter Olympics.

But Evgeni Plushenko is not. He is the hot favourite for gold in Men's Singles!

Yeah Plushenko! I will be cheering for you!

Cheerios!

Want to blog about my body ache... which is killing me now..

Most ppl know I only take kb lessons from prataman (yes, a new nickname, but was given by my close kaki). Prataman's kb makes me sweat, work out/ tone my entire body, and yet his routine does not make my knees hurt like siao. But I havent take it for abt 4 wks, because he is away for some competition for my regular slot. The other slots with him teaching are those during office hours which is impossible for me. But since ytday I was on leave, I went for his class!

But before that, I went to a hip hop dance class and a short jog on treadmilll. Only managed to run about 2.5km, because I got to rest about 15 mins before going to kb.

Wa lao, the effect of not doing kb for 4 wks is really there. I was panting badly when the class is 3/4 into it... usually I don't pant that badly. Today woke up with shoulders, abs, and inner thighs pain... siao liao lah. How to go CNY visiting like that? I will confirm walk ard like an auntie lo! Esp my shoulders... which I think is caused by the cool down toning exercise (Linda, it is that stupid pilates move I told u abt lo).

This really teaches me one thing. Got to keep exercising or else confirm body ache!

But still damn liberating sia... havent do something so shiok for weeks liao. After my bout of knee ache plus gastric flu, I was in a damn unhealthy shape. But I noticed that I still continue to lose weight after 1+ wk of not exercising. Damn happy about it cos I really feel much healthier.

Not to mention, I kinda missed prataman's "Again", "Come on, we are not tired!", "One last time", "Ah! Huueah!" and " Come on, got to shout! Helps in your workout!"

Ya, all his favourite phrases, including his michael jackson tracks.

Anyway, gentle giant (given by jul) came to talk to me and ML after our kb. ML is a girl that I know who is damn sweet to me. She gave me advice, jokes with me and takes care of me when I grumble. Too bad her working hours is flexible enough to take classes that is during office hours and so I don't see her that much =( Anyway, gentle giant is like goofy again lah. No idea what the hell he is doing half the time!

Anyway, I am still going to gym alone. Though I like to be left alone, if there is anyone who wants to come with me, can ask me! And trust me, regular exercise really makes one happy.

Anyway, after I go back to office next wed, I am officially promoted to another designation. Sigh, not sure what to think about it cause this really means a lot of work is coming my way... plus all the reorg... it is really messy right now. And my increment is not a lot =( Oh well, I shall take things as it comes.

Lastly, I got to add, I got my iphone now! Just got it at a discounted price. But I lost all my contacts because iphone don't copy the contracts on my sim card! Got to add it one by one....

Ok, I got to start preparing to go out. Getting my nails done for CNY! Shiok! I love my life without the working out part!

Cheerios.

On leave for thursday and friday. Only going back to work on 17 Feb.

One word.

Shiok!

I will blog soon! Maybe tml after my gym (yes, I am preparing myself from all the gorginf during CNY.)

Cya! Cheerios!
