Lately… I have cravings for banana leaf rice.

Lately… I spent my free time munching muruku.

Lately… I love roti canai with ghee.

Recently… I feel like celebrating Deepavali.

I even got myself a new punjabi suit.

Die, I think I must stop learning Yoga!!! *rolling eye*

p/s: Pe.lea.se. lar! Talk using your brain, ok. Don’t talk like a Baby wearing adult diaper. Someone out there doesn’t know which finger is longer!

We went to Pantai Kelanang (5km after Morib Beach) during Deepavali Holiday. As usual we had picnic there and not forgetting lots of camwhoring too. While doing our usual stuff, we spotted a baby Cobra under a wheel!

‘Baby Cobra’ wasn’t pleased at all getting down on the sands and she even make me promised to help her dust the sand away. What the heck!

Yea, I know I was not in proper clothings but who the heck goes to a beach in yoga outfit. That is crazy right?

p/s: This is the best time to buy ephedra diet pills as they are offering quite a relatively low prices now.

I hope everyone can (or at least try!) put the past behind them and move on with life. It is very distressing to read comments by members like “who cheat who”, etc whenever someone break the news of new owner took over existing YZ outlet.  I find this is very unfair to curse the new owner as they are totally innocent (except Urban Yoga. Unfortunately.) In this case, CHI Fitness is under Clark Hatch group. They have nothing to do with YZ Group or even Centro. For goodness sake, Centro owns the building and Centro doesn’t own YZ. Why on earth would people want to curse Centro? At least with the new owner, you can now resume your gym/yoga/dance rather than chomping down tones of alli diet pill right? I really wish someone would buy over YZ Bukit Tinggi branch too.  The road from my house leading towards Centro is so freaking jams.

Fyi, I have signed up with CHI Fitness for the sake of the free November membership and also for the sake of Yoga.  I really need a proper place to practice! And most importantly, it is child friendly fitness centre.  I am thrilled to see some familiar names *ahem* on the timetable too.

What’s more to say?  Namaste!

So, what are you guys waiting for?

Go, go, go!

I was born into Christian home and Yoga to some of them (Christians) is against our religion. I got upset when I was told about this but the curious me went ahead to join the Yoga empire 2 years ago and is able to prove them wrong!

The question is usually very standard. Just few weeks ago, I was in a heated argument with a Christian. The conversation goes like it. The opening line is quite standard. As usual! So I better write this down to share and to hear your opinion before I forgot the conversation line and obviously the computer memory is way better than the human memory. It started like this:

“Do you know Christians is not supposed to learn Yoga?”

“You are wrong about the fact.  Have you ever tried Yoga before?  I do not believe engaging in posture could lead us thru anything spiritual.”

“The posture itself is spiritual.”

“You mean by twisting like this and like that *hands was swinging in air* you called them spiritual?  This is what Christians always fear of.  If you believe in your faith, no matter what other things you do, you are still a Christian.  Nothing can change that.  I know some of them is quite spiritual like the meditating (I was about to say pranayama but since she know nuts  on Sanskrit I was fast enough to say meditating. hehe).  Well, I am just interested in the poses so whenever they do meditating or chant ‘aummmm’ I just watch them.  I find there is nothing wrong on Yoga.  It is purely for health.”

“Well, nowadays anything they do they always say it is for health.”

Let’s cut short the conversation cos I was so upset with it and my tone was kinda high.  So what you guys think?  Would love the feedback especially non buddhist readers.

Ever since the downfall of a famous Yoga Centre in the Klang Valley, more and more ex-teachers has since started their own outlet. That is a good way to broaden their horizon into the real world of money making. If you read the book written by Robert Kiyosaki titled “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” his inspiration of “work for yourself, be your own boss and make yourself rich” really inspired me. Not surprisingly, some went the quicker way investing few thousands dollar store franchise.

This is a vertict.  I was poison by my 6 years old son.  Before this,  I was never a console geek till one day when I was scouting for  Playstation 3 for my Son, I stumble upon Wii Fit especially the Yoga Component. To start playing the game, firstly you must buy the Nintendo Wii game console which costs about $250 and the Wii Balance Board retails at $90. Prices could varied elsewhere.

The game consist of 15 yoga poses but only four was ‘unlocked’ for starter i.e. Deep Breathing, Half Moon, Warrior I and Tree Pose. You needed to practise for a certain amount of time before the next 2 yoga pose is available to you. Perfection is secondary here. However, scores will be given depending how perfectly the poses is done. The game could also tell if you are balancing evenly or imbalance. At the end of each pose, the game gave you a ranking of Yoga Newcomer, Yoga Novice, Yoga Trainer or Yoga Master.

I do find it weird doing Warrior I pose with one foot elevated on the 2 inches high board and the other on the ground. Isn’t that what we called body imbalance? No wonder the poses is so limited comparing to the original 1000 poses we did at the studio. But then, the console is a good buy as it can be used for other games too like jogging, step aerobics, hula hoop, rhythm boxing, find step, skiing, snowboarding, heading soccer ball, tightrope walk or balance bubble.

Well, this are the crazy things I did at home while looking for a yoga centre with flexible time table to fit my busy schedule.

During the recent holiday, I spent 5 days in Singapore playing tourist. The last time I was there it was merely 7 years ago. Some would say, “Singapore is so near and boring. Go European cruises is better.” Yea right. That is because they have not been playing tourist. I know some people that goes there merely for shopping and not sightseeing.

For all fans of F1 racing, can you recognized this bridge?

This route is part of the F1 night race held in Singapore recently. The route is still closed for public when we was there and I see great opportunity for photography! Don’t you love tree pose, cos I do!

Someone is trying hard to balance here *rolling eye*

The one posture that I would love to try is wheel pose with a CHAIR! But too bad, my house have only computer chairs or those with a high back rest chair and non like the one in the above picture.  I know Ikea is selling something similar like that but the thought of the RM90 makes me cringe!  Ya la, I know I’m such a stingy poker. *blueh*
