<p>The one posture that I would love to try is wheel pose with a CHAIR!  But too bad, my house have only <a href="http://www.spacify.com/chairs.htm">computer chairs</a> 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&#8217;m such a stingy poker. *blueh*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am taking the advantage of the 5 days Raya break for a vacation again.  This time, we are off to the neighbouring country.  Will not reveal the name but I am sure you guys are smart enough to guess.  We had just collected the kid&#8217;s passports and our clothes is all packed into the brand new <a href="http://www.luggagesource.com/IBS/SimpleCat/Shelf/ASP/Hierarchy/0L.html">Swiss Army luggage</a> specially bought for this trip.</p>
<p>Till then, continue bending everywhere you go. For those driving on the road, drive safe, stay between the speed limit and please, don&#8217;t tailgate.</p>
<p>To all my Muslim readers, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Batin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every since I started Yoga, sitting in a cross leg position is so much comfortable.  Basically my leg will automatically wanted to lift up whenever I sat on a chair even in the office and in the car.  I slump whenever I sat on a chair so the best thing is to sit in Lotus Position. Some people may think that sitting cross leg in the office is very unpleasant looking but then&#8230; I really cannot help it!  Who ask me to have a cubicle all to myself? *ngek, ngek, ngek*&#8230; no <a href="http://www.reidsupply.com/results.aspx?N=1003796&amp;On=1003796">work holding</a> me up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with many old wives&#8217; tales, it seems there is more than a grain of truth - &#8220;an apple a day keeps the doctor away&#8221; is not a folklore anymore.  I do know apple are a rich source of dietary fibre.  When it comes to bowel regularity, apple&#8217;s  fiber tackle the job no matter what it is. All you have to do is make sure that apple is included as one of the five portions of fruit and vegetables you eat each day.</p>
<p>These are the fruits combination I like:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m255/hijackqueen/Yogajess/Fruitjuice003a.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="69" /><br />
Apple + Cucumber + Kiwi = <span style="color: #ff6600;">To improve skin complexion</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m255/hijackqueen/Yogajess/Fruitjuice001.jpg" alt="" width="272" height="67" /><br />
Tomatoes + Carrot + Apple = <span style="color: #ff6600;">Improve skin complexion and eliminate bad breath</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m255/hijackqueen/Yogajess/Fruitjuice002.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="64" /><br />
Carrot + Ginger + Apple = <span style="color: #ff6600;">Boost and cleanse our system</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>With the combination above, not only your body system is cleanse, you will be surprised to notice the <a href="http://www.acnecuresrevealed.net/">acne</a> on your face may clear up eventually.  Healthy Eating, Happy Living.</p>
<p>Namaste!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have some capital to start a business,  would you start from scrap or take the faster way out that is grab hold of the <a href="http://www.americasbestfranchises.com/">franchise opportunities</a> by paying a large sum of money.  Well, I would say every business had it&#8217;s risk.  On the outlook they may look like a big and stable corporation but one never know of their internal management problem.  Just take YZ Malacca branch for example.  End of the day when the business failed, everyone is pointing finger here and there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now the conclusion on Yogazone after under Receivership hand since August 7th is&#8230;. *drum rolling please*</p>
<p>Yogazone <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">will</span> have <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">cease</span> ceased operation effective from <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">September 15, 2008</span></strong> onwards.

<p>*sheesh&#8230;*</p>
<p>*SheesH&#8230;!*</p>
<p>OK, done!</p>
<p>If you want to know further updates on YZ, please refer to <a href="http://yogalover88.blogspot.com/">YogaLover88</a>, <a href="http://www.yungsern.blogspot.com/">Joshua&#8217;s Haven</a> and for the compilation history of YZ glory days till kingdom failure, please refer to <a href="http://www.spyyoga.blogspot.com/">Spy Yoga</a>.  All thanks to their blog if not I am still in the dark on the outcome of YZ.  I was just wondering, why YZ or receivership company or who ever, did not bother to even send at least an official letter stating the closure or whatever it is concern to the 20,000 members?  Cease business operation like this matter is equivalent to money scam! No? Sometimes I really pity those aunties, uncles, ah moi, ah beng who is not computer savvy. Pity them everyday purposely drove by YZ Klang hoping to see the door miraculously open for business one day.  But little did they know the door will forever remain closed till the day the land lord or a new tenant decided to bring down the signboard.</p>
<p>Oh, talking about money scam, whoever wants to try their luck to claim back what is owing to them in monetary form can try to file for refund from The Small Claims Court aka Tribunal for Consumer Claim Malaysia which handles claims not exceeding RM5000. The form cost RM5.00. The Tribunal will settle within 2 months period.<br />
<em><br />

<p>Website: <a href="http://ttpm.kpdnhep.gov.my/portal/index.php"> http://ttpm.kpdnhep.gov.my/portal/index.php</a></p>
<p>And what I excerpt from Fei&#8217;s comment in YogaLover88 blog, in the &#8220;Respondent column&#8221;, you should fill up Yogazone particular like below:<br />
<strong><br />
Name of Respondent : The Yoga Zone Group Sdn Bhd<br />
I.C. No. / Registration Company No. : 680406-X<br />
Address : No. 30-1, Jalan 2/109E, Desa Business Park, Taman Desa, Off Jalan Klang Lama, 58100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.<br />
Tel. No. : 03 - 7987 7680<br />
H/P No. : nil<br />
Fax No. : 03 - 7983 2676<br />
Email : info@yogazone.com.my</strong></p>
<p>I hope the information is helpful for those who is in a lost.</p>
<p>I read also Centro is auctioning out equipments to recover their loses.  Anyone know the dates?  I would love to grab one of the gym ball.  And also, whoever from Klang is going to the Consumer Tribunal office, I would like to hitch a hike too.  RM3.5k is a lot for me.  I can buy a very good camera lens with that money you know!</p>

<p>I remember seeing my late paternal Grandma uses this type of zinc wash basin for her laundry. During the 80&#8217;s zinc basin is commonly used.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m255/hijackqueen/Farmhousesink03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Seeing them thus make me think of my childhood I remember when I was younger, I used to take my bath in the basin too and my Mom make me washed my own school shoes when I was 6y/o from the same basin too. If you are wondering, I took these <a href="http://www.wholesalestonesinks.com/">farmhouse sinks</a> during my trip to <a href="http://www.jessieling.com/2007/03/23/day-4-disneyland/" target="_blank">Disneyland</a> in 2007 but never get a chance to blog about it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m255/hijackqueen/Farmhousesink01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>What do you think if I fix one of those at my garden?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <em>&#8220;Journey of The Twisted Body and Twisted Mind&#8221;</em> continue it&#8217;s search for a place to twist.  Sad to say but glad to realised, life still goes on and it is great after all.  Errr&#8230; not really great but then I can make do with anything I had.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been asking for rates and looking for a suitable place to practice and finally, attended a trial class in Yoga Franchise, Klang.  I mentioned to Nava that I was formerly practicing from Yogazone and he instantly snapped.  Ya, ya, heard that bla bla bla bla!  Seems like the whole world has heard about YZ crisis.  Yoga Franchise offer traditional yoga.  The flow is so much different from Yogazone as Nava claimed that Yogazone has modified it to make them more commercialized to the public.  I know nuts about that so no comment from me.</p>
<p>I find traditional Yoga a bit slow and maybe too relaxing.  I am trying to get used to it especially having a total of 6 savasanas (or maybe more cos I gave up counting them!) in between asana.  That is way too relaxing and we was practicing in a air-conditioning room.  I hardly even perspire.  End of the 60 minutes class, he drew out this on the white board.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m255/hijackqueen/Yogajess/yogadisciple.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="379" /></p>
<p>Disciple #1 to be practice everyday for at least 10 minutes everyday - While he was briefing on Shatkarmas, I kept looking at the clock hanging above him.  *yawn*</p>
<p>Disciple #2 is my favourite practice (15 minutes everyday) - Now, this is what I finally understood after attending Yoga classes for a year plus.  The sequence of practising asanas!</p>
<ul>
<li>2 sets of Sun salutation</li>
<li>Backbend</li>
<li>Forwardbend</li>
<li>Twisting</li>
<li>Inverted</li>
</ul>
<p>It snapped me hard after reading disciple #2.  No wonder we always do headstand lastly.  He explained the reason behind it but all the teaching goes in one ear and out another ear. *blushing*</p>
<p>Disciple #3 &amp; #4 - I started to drift into dreamland again.  The only thing I remember is the prana as I adhered to it.  Never drink/bath/eat right after class.  You will lost all your prana.</p>
<p>After explaining all that, the other yogis was seen jotting the 4 disciples on papers and some was using their PDA.  I took out my faithful camera and take a shot.   Everyone was amazed including Nava!  Aiyah talking about bloggers. Tehehe. We don&#8217;t part with our camera.  Next thing I know, everyone follow suit and started taking picture using their mobile phone instead of jotting them down on paper.  Class dismissed earlier than way too <img src='http://www.yogajess.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
