Zumba Night out!

Where is Fiona?
 
Amy, the karaoke singer extraordinaire!
Justita, the Zumba detective














Last Friday night was the first ever New Year's Party of the Ranau district  Zumba club, which is run 
by Justita, who is a police detective by day and a dancing queen by night! She runs clubs in three kampongs and normally us members see each other in our aerobic gear with sweat (some more than others) pouring off us but Friday evening was a chance to see each other in different attire. Well I hardly recognised some people and as for our teacher, she was wearing a micro mini skirt with a belly dance belt around her with a very small strappy top. So there were some Christian ladies wearing very tarty sparkly gear, some Muslim ladies covered completely and then there were the in between lot (both religions) wearing trousers and tops and then me dressed in my ethnic clothes - which they thought very strange! Anyway, there we all were sitting, eating, singing and dancing together with absolutely no division and all having a good time., without a drop of alcohol in sight. The karaoke singing was amazing. There were so many excellent singers in that room it seemed like a final for Britain's Got Talent. We all got a present and then there was a lucky draw and I won a prize!! I never am usually lucky in  draws but I won a pair (why pair?) of scales to weigh myself. Now on principle I have never owned scales - I don't believe you need to know your exact weight to know if you are overweight or not - so I had mixed feelings about the prize. I don't want to become obsessed about weighing myself so very reluctantly it is out of it's box and I am trying not to go on them too much!
