JOGET HATI SENANG (Adibah Noor)

Completed a Joget choreography to this song. I just love the Joget rhythm. Some part of me will be moving even if I don't feel like getting onto the dance floor. :D

I'm hoping to post the dance video after recording it tomorrow with a few of my students. Hopefully not too much editing is required. Meanwhile, I've posted the song here for anyone who would like to have a listen. A rough translation of the lyrics from Bahasa Malaysia to English is available below (after the video).

HAPPY HEART JOGET

(VERSE)

Young one, don't be consumed by the praises of others

Beware that pride comes before a fall

No matter what others may say

We must measure our clothes on our own body

We must measure our clothes on our own body

(meaning: know ourselves, our strengths and limitations)

It could be that my smile is not as charming

My body not as shapely

But let others say what they wish

Our lot is determined by and a gift from the Almighty

Our lot is determined by and a gift from the Almighty

(CHORUS)

Let them laugh (at me)

As long as they are happy

My heart will be light too

To see others happy (because of me)

I'm not asking for sympathy

Do not want any pity

My heart is light this way

I leave it to the Almighty

Repeat VERSE & CHORUS

I leave it to the Almighty

I leave it to the Almighty

Come on, let's do the Joget

the Happy Heart Joget

Forget the conflict in your soul

Accept my hand

Come with me and together

Build our self-confidence

That our heart will be light and happy from now on

CNY 2011

Some snapshots from my line dance classes. Everyone looks so festive in their CNY colours and attire :)

Taken a week before CNY week when most of the students were still around.

Many travel back to their hometown during the CNY holidays.

My students at Japan Club dressed to theme. We had a simple gathering during

class today. Those celebrating CNY brought cookies and drinks from home

to share with everyone. It was lots of fun!

Aren't they just adorable :)
