The first event on the list was a Zumbathon held in Serian in May, organized by one of the ZINs (Zumba instructor) from our studio. A whole group of us drove up together in a convoy to participate in this event. I joined G's car halfway and we had fun with A and Dr B, 'dancing' in the car! Lol!
Before the event in the afternoon, we went for mee udang (prawn noodles) at a very famous roadside shop called Mee Udang Gumpey. Despite the place being in the middle of nowhere (it was almost an hour's drive off a main road), it was packed and there were people standing by the road, waiting to be seated when we were about to leave! The place is at Kampung Gedong, where a river runs parallel to the road, hence the abundance of fresh water prawns.
Anyway, after stuffing our stomachs, we made our way to the Serian community hall. The event was a success, with lots of participants, many of whom drove all the way up from Kuching.
The next event was a week later at Damai Central, in conjunction with the Muka' Bidai Borneo Festival 2014. Other than Zumba, there were many other extreme sports like paintball and kick boxing.
We did our Zumba outdoors, in front of the beach, facing the setting sun! It was quite hot initially, but when the sun began to set and paint the sky with it's amazing colours, it was a gorgeous experience!
There was a crowd of onlookers who enjoyed the loud music and the entertainment and some joined in! There were even a few topless men on the beach who followed the steps! Lol!
Sis no.3 and Cousin Christine also came for the event and we brought along the kids who hung about on the beach while we danced.
The kids had fun at the beach as well and everyone was pooped by the end of the day. We bathed and changed and had a quick dinner at the Damai Central food court before heading home.
Next up was a barbecue at the condo 2 weeks ago. It was a whole lot of crazy fun. It's wonderful how so many of us of all ages and from all walks of life can get along together so well because of just one thing which we all have in common, that is the magic of Zumba.
There was swimming, dancing, too much food and most of all laughter!
