Queen Of Bee

How deep is your love with coffee? Do you drink coffee daily? Is it a must-have to kick start your day? How many cups do you drink in a day? Or do you prefer tea instead?  I love both coffee & tea, whether black or white, or with spices ie, masala chai . There are days when I would have a cup of both, and the day will be complete.   Only recently I noticed my tolerance towards caffeine has gone so much lower that if I had a cup of coffee or teh tarik before 6pm, I could not sleep at night. OMG! Why like that wan? Then night time if people jio me yumcha, then I drink what ah?   Latte at  O'Coffee Club at 1 Mont Kiara.  Flat white at New Chapter By The Owl Note: posting this because I have not been updating, and also I felt sleepy! Had both my tea and coffee already, so need to find other ways to keep myself awake!

I wrote these 10 years ago. I used to commute to work via KTM train, hence I have a lot of "waiting time" at train station. The content of this book were mostly about my "pain" waiting for the train and summaries of how my day went by.  " Missed the train by seconds.... too many people...the day sucks... etc. "  The reason I write is because I like to read back what I have written months / years ago. Sometimes, will bring back sweet memories, but of course, there will be some "not so pleasant" memories. So, 10 years ago, when life was simpler, books were my companion when I commute. No FB, no Insta, no smartphone, no MRT!! And writing was only possible when I was sitting and waiting for the arrival of KTM train. Not sure whether I read this somewhere, or  maybe I actually wrote the above? Hahaha....  Reading this 10 years later, not bad eh...   Today, 10 years ago, it was about how the day went by, and what would be co...

We start quiet and still in a seated posture at the beginning of our practise.  Just as Winter is poised for Spring .  The gradual warming of Spring will lead us to the full exuberance of Summer .  The power of Summer peaks, then moves toward the descending energy of Autumn .  Autumn folds inward, releasing back to Winter and its silence. ~~~~~~  Love love love! I forgot where I read this. Maybe from those old edition of Yoga Journal.  Putting them in my digital diary so that I can reread again. 

(Photo credit : Annis Ho)  Last Saturday morning, my cousin sister who is usually very quiet in our chat group sent two photos. When I saw the photos, I smiled.  This was taken in end of April.  In conjuction with International Yoga Day in June, the editorial team of Malaysia Tatler wanted to feature yoga releated stories. One writer used to attend aerial classes at Aravind Yoga Studio and she wanted to feature aerial yoga. We sent her a few shots of our studio, but she wanted photos with students practising aerial yoga as it was too plain to feature an empty studio. As we did not have any, she offered to come over to our studio with a photographer to take a few shots. Of course ok lah!  I did a few poses for them. Camel, Half Wheel, Candy Wrap and a few more. "Gaze forward, smile...can you put your palms in front, looking relax. Take your time to balance", said the photographer. It was not easy leh! But thank you for your patience, Mr Photographer...

As remembrance in case I decided not to keep long hair anymore. Actually I wanted to do this at a door arch. But cannot find a nice one.  Anyway..... Currently, my hair is at the longest length, almost touching the waistline (from the back) and covering my boobs (from the front). Estimated at least 3 years to reach this length. My compilation as below. #vainpot kaokao Hair is also called crowning glory. One of my ex boss said the longer your hair is, the more glory you will have. Ermmm.. really!? Washing hair is now a tedious job because it will takes a longer time to dry and whenever I washed my hair, I see many strands falling out. Should I colour my hair? Neh... Lazy People like me, better not lah as I need to take care and retouch. And it's expensive. Should I perm my hair again? Ermmm... Maybe? But at this length, it's going to be expensive. (Hahaha. Money seems to be the main issue! Frugal at the highest level)  I have been asked when I will cut t...

Tuesday is my busiest day in the week. 2 classes in the morning, and 2 classes in the evening. Morning class at 9am used to be very quiet, but now it's livelier.  Tuesday with Mi Mi is quite predictable. They will come for class. I will "torture" them with TLC for 1 hour or sometimes 2 hours. After class, most of the time we will have brunch. If it's not at Warung Soho , it will be at Bestari. Sometimes, Lorong Aji Don for mee rebus , once in a blue moon at Hachi Bakery  If you are around the corner on Tuesday, around 1130am and looking for kaki to makan with, you can hunt us down. We have decided what we will be eating next Tuesday after class. Korean food! Sedap or not, we don't know! (we saw that shop when we were on the way to buy bread from Aroma Bakery). Before someone say bojio , I hereby jio you for brunch next Tuesday. Open invitation to join us for Yoga (Hatha / Aerial), or Makan Or both Yoga + Makan! See you when we see you!

I was having lunch when I had this subject in mind.  Eating alone. Guling-ling. Long long time ago, I would not eat out alone. I rather packed and ate at home or office. I have been blessed to have lunch kakis throughout my years in office. So I hardly have to eat alone.  So, I posted a survey. That's My favourite soup from beyond veggie.  And my result from 20 respondents. Thank you for your votes! High-5 to the guling-ling team out there!! I only started eating alone more frequently last year. After class in the morning, sometimes I have makan kakis, sometimes none. It was weird at the first few rounds. After that, it was ok lah. But I will choose the place that I am familiar with and comfortable, to have my me time. Won't venture to new  stalls alone for sure. I need companion to do that. 🤣 Don't get me wrong, I still prefer kakis whenever possible. So, give me a tinker if you are nearby damas on Tue/Wed/Thu mornings... Either you teman ...

I received this yesterday morning. Yeah! I "won" 3rd prize! And part of the message, Hindari Penipuan. Macam YES!  Today, I have some free time. Hmm, the quality of the photos... Dear Abdul Syaefi Hafizuddin, you need to work harder to make your page looked more convincing. Or else, how are you going to con people? Comes with full instruction, to provide IC lah... and even snapshot of your atm card. Bulan Juni tu bulan apa? June is June. Jun ialah Jun. Juni is the 13th month of the year? So, ladies & gentlemen, I didn't win 3rd prize. No RM 5,000. No easy money lah! I just got to work harder, kangkang-sana more! Ka kui kui, baru eh tuan tua lui!

My lunch box for today. Two eggs and loads of potatoes. Hor-lan-shue! I love potatoes. I fried them. Bake takes longer time. One missing ingredient, mixed herbs. Mom said expired already. Thrown away liao. Aiyah.... So just pepper and salt. Carbs loading time!! Clearing the fruit basket at home. Last 3 oranges. And I could only filled up this small bottle. Appx 350ml or maybe less. Will this meal last me until after class tonight at 8pm? Or maybe 9pm? 🤔

I am the weird one in the family who is buta huruf in Mandarin. I speak and understand but I don't read or write. I think I only can write maybe less than 100 Chinese words. I might be able to recognise more. Hahaha. 东南西北 I remember these because of mahjong.  Ask me to write them out, confirm fail!  Perhaps it's time for me start from scratch again. Perhaps.... Write to remember?

This book was passed on to me by a friend, GSA. She said I will like this. I welcome free books. Hahaha. And the title and the name of the author seemed familiar. I forgot whether I have read this or maybe I have it among the books that I have bought from  Big Bad Wolf that I have YET to read. Browsing back old albums, ah.. I helped a friend to buy a book by the same author from BBW (many years ago), titled "Have a little faith". Easy read with short chapters, I put it by the bed so that I could read before I sleep. Of course, there were nights when I spent browsing the net instead of reading it. Failed! Today is one of the Sundays when I didn't go for class and just stayed home. I finished reading it. Towards the end of the book, I teared. I was told to pass this book on. So, here goes. I got this from her, hence i put her intial at the top of the list. And may many names will be added into the list. And who knows, it might come back to you in the future. ...

I scooped hundreds of rice boxes this morning at D'Fine Cafe , helping out with their catering order. In return, I had this for breakfast. Fair trade? No rice 🍚 for lunch. My 👀 had enough. 😝

Is it just me? I saw a similar post on FB, but I could not find it anymore. So, I created my version.

The mornings when I don't have to rush for class or work, I will prepare my own breakfast. There are mornings when I want to eat wantan mee or meehoon goreng. But I am too lazy to change from my PJs to other casual clothes. So, eat eggs lah. This morning I decided I wanted two unflipped sunny side eggs. I used a bigger pan. I was hoping for two round yolks. First yolk out...nice....second yolk...it was runny. Dimgaiiiiii... My Instagram breakfast gone!!! Nevermind. 💡eh! I can serve the eggs directly from the pan instead of transfer into a plate. Just like the emoji! Together with my sexy lips phone! Ok! Instagram eggs here I come! I have to take a few shots in order to make sure it matches 98% of both the 👄 and 🍳. WhatsApp has two eggs in the pan and handle was pointing to left. While Instagram and fb only one egg and handle to the right. Things I do for photos and posting on social media. 🤣 Enjoy your breakfast lah!!

I'm back! I miss writing. I was talking to a friend about writing blog and she shared hers with me. I have abandoned mine since the last post in 2017. Always say want to keep it alive, but always fail in updating. Maybe I should divert my attention to writing than fb or insta. Anyway, good to be back. And applied a new theme makes the page look so much nicer than the old black background. Ok. Time to go for class. A longer post coming soon. Ciao.
