Recently, I was engaged by Cherie Thum Couture Jewelry to shoot their latest collection of beautiful stones that is sold in the United States. This is the one I like the most among all the designs that Cherie Thum personally designed and has intention to purchase it even though it’s currently above the price range I could afford but for the someone special, sometimes, we just have to look for ways to overcome the obstacle. Right?

More of their designs are available on the website and for those of you who wish to purchase the jewelry in Malaysia, you can do so by contacting Cherie Thum via the website or arrange for a personalized viewing session. Cherie also provide custom designs suited to your style and liking especially when you are looking for the jewelry that no one else has. (more…)

Lambada-Zouk & Bachata Night @ Shivz

Posted By Michael Yip / August, 31, 2010 / 0 comments

Just recently Shivz opened it’s doors to the salsa community on Thursdays for a weekly session of Lambada-Zouk and Bachata just for the crowd that’s into those genre of dance instead of the more common Salsa, Bachata or Merenggue. I don’t dance Lambada-Zouk, tried to pick it up but crashed and burnt, but seeing how there’s a strong following by a small group of people to this genre of dance and how gracious Shivz is by having a night just for it on top of the salsa night on Sundays, I decide to volunteer my services.

So yeah, you can catch me at Shivz on Thursday as well where I’ll be spinning a lot of Lambada Zouk tunes on top of some Bachata and a few Salsa thrown in (so that I can at least have a few dance myself).The majority type of Zouk I play on these nights is the Neo-Zouk where the music is mixed and fused with trance and modern music with basic Zouk beats, the original French or Portuguese lyrics are ommitted as Neo-Zouk ethuthiasts have better connection with transcendental music. For the you, especially with this genre of dance and all these new terms you’re reading, you can swing by at 9.00pm onwards where Cherie Thum would conduct a small introductory workshop for beginners to the world of Lambada-Zouk, more precisely, the Porto Seguro-style.
