miscommunication

woke up early this morning for breakfast. had a slice of bread with butter & kaya. and a cup of black local coffee. light breakfast before yoga class at 1130am. and we reached the centre at 1115am. still early. no sign of the teacher. we waited inside the car. tick tock tick tock. it was already 1135am. still no sign of her. maybe she was caught in the jam due to road closure in kl for KL marathon? and we had the answer after a phone call. she was expecting a CONFIRM sms from us, which was not sent to her. so, she thought we were not free. aiyah! coming sunday also no class, because she is away in bali. woo hoo!! but i guess, when we go back for practise, we will be "tortured".

up & down thursday

this morning, everything was smooth. and i even received an early birthday present from a colleague! and my birthday is like.. 2 weeks away? hahaha! then by noon, things started to get bumpy. received a brief that has to be completed by end of the day. ok... then SL told me ktm service is "a bit" down in the afternoon (prompted by aunty J) err.... ok.. then later in the evening, SL called again and said monorail service was down. she has to walk all the way to lrt station. err... ok.. because i have not finished my work, i could not follow Tigger back to kajang. continued working until 7.30pm, SL called again. and this time, she was crying over the phone. "dont take the KTM today!!!" (my first thought was she got harassed! but no, it was not, it was even WORSE than that) "the train that i took just now was on fire. heard some explosion then saw fire" (i could not hear clearly because she was crying and talking at the same time.) "i dont know where i a...

almost missed

Image
i'm reading a book by adeline yen mah , "Falling Leaves", the memoir of an unwanted chinese daughter. borrowed this from a friend. i was reading it this morning in the LRT, and i almost missed my station. i was supposed to disembark at klcc. when the lrt stopped, i was looking for sign, "what station is this??".. then i saw a lot of people getting down, i just followed, and kept searching for signboards. and then i saw it. klcc. phew!.. or else, i had to stop at the next train, then take another train back to klcc... hassle hassle!!!

headstand

i have been practising yoga on and off for the past few years. i hate inversion the most. why? because i could not do it. haha! headstand... that was toughest to me. i tried. but failed. and i stopped trying. and i just stood there and watch other standing on their hand. *jealous* we started taking private class since last year. after more than 10 classes, i am happy that i'm able to stand on my head! muahaha! the teacher taught us the techniques. how to position our hands. how to position our head. leg. body. shoulder. tuck in the tail bone. shoulder roll to the back. soften your heart. these were the frequent phrases that were used during the class. our first few classes were a tortured. we came back with body aching all over. we still feel the pain after every class. i'm glad that my sisters forced me to join them. after headstand, my next aim will be handstand! namaste

my 3rd kiwanis hunt

Image
last weekend, we went to the 27th kiwanis treasure hunt. this year theme was "crouching tiger, hidden treasures". it was a 3D2N hunt, from KL to Lake Kenyir, Terengganu. my last hunt with kiwanis was in year 2002. after a long hiatus, i decided to join the hunt this year. and also to introduce the kiwanis hunt to my sisters, which were the driver & the navigator. peggy was back from a 4 years break. we were quite rusty after a long break. hahaha! friday night was spent cutting and sticking all the stickers on the car. they printed all stickers in a big banner, instead of pieces by pieces. painful task if done alone. hahaha. mum and younger sister helped to plan where to stick. #1 : team 19 ready to go! we left home at 520am, to pick friends before heading to kolej bandar utama, where we would be flagged off. as per scheduled, we were off at 7am. first sector was in TTDI. and then i forgot where we were. i didnt take note as i was too engrossed with the questions. i just s...

kids yoga

i took a day off yesterday because a kindergarten requested a yoga kids session for the students. we had the same session last year. there were about 40 kids, aged 5 to 6 years old. all of them were so adorable! kids love to jump. so, we jumped a lot. kids love to run, so we ran lot. i had to be on the toes when i was with the kids. poses could not be fixed because they might not want to follow what i had in mind. we arranged the kids to stand in a big circle. i stood in the centre of the circle so that all of them could see me. there was one pose, which i wanted the kids to stretch to the side. i stretched to my right, and slowly i turned my body around because i want to look at the other kids. seeing me turned, the kids followed exactly what i did. hahaha. and we turned together-gether when we strectched to the left side. so cute! cat & cow. aeroplane. tree. hot airballoon. run & freeze. jump like a frog. bow. and many many more! after the session, a kid commented, "i ...
