roti canai

i was playing with a 4 year old girl last saturday during surya yoga open day . we played bowling (blocks as pins) and we built staircase. when it was time to go, this was the conversation between the girl, her mummy & i. mummy : let's go denisa. we need to pick up daniel denisa : i want to play. mummy : no.. we are late. let's go. then we go eat roti canai. denisa : ok, i want to bring girl along (pointing to me) me : me? you want to bring me for roti canai? denisa : YES!!! a few minutes spent with a 4 years old, and in return, she wanted to bring me for roti canai.. heart melting...

108 surya namaskar with surya yoga

Image
since april till now, i have done thrice 108 surya namaskar. my very first round was on the last day of my ttc in April, followed everfit open day in June. yesterday was my third, in August. we were invited by Jo, from SuryaYoga to lead the 108 surya namaskar session, in conjunction with Surya Yoga 10th Anniversary Open Day. #1 : the invitation card elaine & i and together with nicholas, three of us led the class. i was very nervous as i was the one who did all the talking in front. it felt like assessment time. butterflies in the stomach. whatever that i have learnt during my ttc came back to my mind. intention of the class. any injuries. any questions. in order not to confuse ourselves with the counting, i did the talking and elaine did the counting. i suggested to use sticker to indicate every 10th set that we have completed. #2 : mat sticked with hearts (sticker) before the session started, i explained briefly about why 108 surya namaskar. i have made notes and placed it i...

july has arrived

Image
and it means my birthday is here! *big grin* forget about the age, it's just a number. dont ask me how old, ask me how young! this year celebration started early! went out for organic dinner with aunty lily, aunty pauline, agnes and sisters. aunty pauline & my birthday is only 2 days apart. no photos during dinner as we were too hungry! we went for desserts, our normal practise after a meal. i'm not a dessert lover. i just dont have sweet tooth. salty, LOVE it! sweet...that will be the last thing i will order. hahaha. where did we go just now? san terri cottage, bvII . according to aunty lily, the cakes are from RT pastry house. not sure coincidence or what, last year's birthday, one of my cake was from this pastry house. hehehehe. the year before last year , also from RT! #1 : san terri cottage & my peach tea they have a lot of different cakes at san terri. instead of picking a big cake, they chose 5 mini slices. #2 : american cheese (yum!) #3 : chantily (the look ...

rearranged

Image
#1 : the minimum space for photos, pictures, etc.. i have a habit of rearranging things, until i'm comfortable with the new arrangement. when we moved to new office, the first thing i missed most from the old office was the cupboard which was in front of me. the empty space was perfect for me to stick photos, pictures and non-sense on it. in new office, the empty space was the low partition. sigh... today, i have decided to add some pictures and photos on it. rearranged the desktop slightly slanted, so that i could see the partition more. darling bought some postcards for me and i stuck them up. she said, "see the places daily, then you will go there"! *come true, please* london --> rome --> taiwan! go go go!! let's go let's go!!

everfit yoga studio open day

working towards 108

Image
i have been "good". why? i have been "saluting" 54 times on monday morning and this morning. i'm training myself, to salute 108 times on 12 June 2011. everfit yoga studio has shifted from one corner to another corner of the club. we bid goodbye to studio A & studio B after 10 years. from 2 studios, we became 1. #1 : studio A & B from sweet purple & fiery red walls, to white wall. we painted aum on the white wall. our feature wall. hehehe. at first, we were thinking how to draw it on the wall. such a big wall. such a big word, sure will be distorted if we draw it free hand. (because we failed Art!). a friend, (artymedia!!) then suggested to project the word aum on the wall, and draw the outline. brilliant! that's why she is in art, we are not! we were very happy with the outcome of the drawing. * pat on the back to elaine who suggested this drawing * #2 : wip & the finished work opening day will be on 12 June 2011. we want to do 108 surya nam...

overdue ttc posting

i posted daily during my teacher training course. from day 1 till the end of the course. after that i only posted randomly. i posted daily because i want to remember what i have done during that period. i said i would write more about ttc. here it goes... i was informed about this course last year in october. it was during our private class that the teacher informed us about this course with lance schuler from inspya yoga . my sisters attended his workshop before and they liked his teaching. we didnt have much time to think about this because we had to register by the next day in order to catch the early bird package rate. it was quite costly, so decision has to be made very carefully. my only concern was, would i be able to take 20 days off to attend this course? it would be an intensive course. i had to decide fast. it was sunday when we were informed about the course. the next day, i informed my boss about my plan to take 20 days off for the course. she asked a few questions : q :...

my first class after ttc

my ttc final was on 15 april . this morning was my first class, teaching the adult. i only started preparing this morning. i know it's not good. i will REPENT!!! i promise. but this morning was not bad. i did my favourite poses with them. as i was the replacement teacher, i didnt do any OUT OF THE WORLD poses. just simple poses, but emphasizing alot on the breathing. inhale... exhale... i hope they liked the class. do i prefer kids or adult class? adult : they listen and follow your instruction. kids : they will (TRY!) to listen to you while doing something else. adult : they only practise, hardly any two way communication. only i talk. they dont talk. kids : they will TALK the minute they step into the class. i guess both are fine...

When I look around I see blue skies I see butterflies for us Listen to the sound and lose it Its sweet music and dance with me There is beauty in the world So much beauty in the world Always beauty in the world So much beauty in the world Shake your booty boys and girls for the beauty in the world Pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world All together now We need more lovin We need more money, they say Change is gonna come Like the weather They say forever They say When they are in between Notice the blue skies Notice the butterflies Notice me Stop and smell the flowers And lose it the sweet music and dance with me There is beauty in the world So much beauty in the world Always beauty in the world There is beauty in the world Shake your booty boys and girls for the bea...
