Went to Taka on Friday to watch F.A.S.T. challenge as well as shows. LOL. YoHans so darned cool it's like aargh!!! Dang! Haha. Reached there around... ... ...umm I forgot what time but we managed to catch the 4pm show. It was at the Taka basement square, there were so many kids there learning tricks and stuff. Everyone was having fun. Looking at them play can be so inspiring sometimes, the passion in their eyes, clear and unyielding, daring to ask and make mistakes. Makes me wonder why as we grow older, we sometimes become more insecure and protective of ourselves, letting our ego get in the way. More often than not as a result of this insecurity, we can't fulfil the potental in each and every one of us. Hmm as weird as Wacko Jacko might be, I agree all of us should be like Peter Pan, not letting the child in us be erroded by reality. Haha. Bottomline is, release the child in you, and you'd prolly be amazed by the amazing things you can do.

To see YoHans on stage doing his thing, it's simply mindblowing. By the way, he's broken his own Guiness World Record of 52 tricks in a minute, he can do 59 tricks now!!! Haha. YoHans waved to me on stage and asked me something but I couldn't catch what he was saying cuz I was prolly starstruck or something and I thought he was talkin to someone else, so I looked around, but he kept pointing at me so when I finally 'woke' up I waved back at him. It was so freaking embarrassing! Haha. But it was pretty funny. Then he attempted 59 tricks per minute and he autographed tt yoyo, and there was this segment where he gave it out to one lucky audience. I'm quite 'old' so I didn't raise my hands, give the kids a chance to keep that precious yoyo. Haha but a lady got it in the end and she gave it to her son, lol her son (8-10yr old) was so touched/happy! LOL.

After the 4pm show, walked around ate Takopachi and ice cream at Gelatino it was so yummylicious I'm still dreamin about it. Haha. Then we went for the 7pm show, and he did his 59 tricks per minute again. And this time he gave his record-breaking autographed yoyo to a lucky audience. This time I raised my hand high in the air cuz I really wanted it. LOL. I'm so sorry to the kids! And YoHans actually picked me!!! LOL. I thought all I had to do was take the yoyo and tat's it cuz the previous lady just took the yoyo. When he pointed at me I kinda hesitated cuz it's kinda intimidating there were so many people! So when I went up there he told me I gotta come on stage to get it if I wanted it! And I had to help him with a trick. I had to stand in the middle and there was this uber long yo string looped around my shoulder and hand and YoHans will let it go around the circuit it's like a roller coaster. I was so nervous!!! But I trust YoHans. Haha. And thankfully the trick was a success! Haha Nichy's really friendly.

Phew. I got the yoyo at long last! LOL. So now I got another collector's yoyo! Yabai!

Woohoo! I forgot to take his picture! : ( Hmmm...

After that we went to see Mickey's Yo-Stick at United Square, but there wasn't many people cuz all the kids were at the square watching this Kiki thing. Haha I went there to show support. And Hakim( he's from Jamaica) taught me tricks, Mickey taught me this trick called Yabai. Haha and it was really yabai! But I was a lil shy in front of Mickey la, cuz he's still my idol after all, can be a lil intimidating. Haha.

And today( Sunday 11th June) we went for the Yo-Stick workshop. Haha. Mich din wanna go in actually, cuz she felt awkward there were many kids there, haha with their parents. And I stood there persuading her, until Mickey, Hakim and co came along. Haha in the end I succeeded in dragging her inside! LOL. Thank God for my stubborness cuz the workshop was pretty fun! The kids were so freaking cute! And there was this lil boy, so chatty! But I din ask for his name. Haha another lil boy taught me a trick of his. It was just so fun and relaxing! Mickey and Hakim are so pro! Thanks for the lessons sinsehs! Haha.

Woohoo it was a pretty awesome day today! : ) Hmmm it'll be quite some time I'll get to see Mickey perform yoyo tricks since he'll be going to judge at MYYC, hmmm maybe I'll get to see his awesome tricks next yr?

At the end of it, I got Mickey and Hakim to autograph my Yo-Stick the kids too! Haha then I asked this boy abt the wristband and he helped me ask the guy whether it's free or not and he told me" It's free!" Aargh I'm like a cheapo! Haha. But he's so cute so never mind. Haha.

Happy! : )

Now I'll be waiting to watch my first Brazil match in the World Cup!
