Getting The Move ON

I love yoga but I also love the high that I get whenever I am done with a cardio thing. It gives you a healthier 'I can change the world!!!!!!!' feeling...best feeling ever. I don't get to do much cardio, to be honest, but I try my best. For personal reasons, running is not for me. I tried hiking but a nagging backache...well...but when it has got to be done, one's got to find a way, right?

So, I bought a bike so that I can force my kids to do it too. Many people earnestly warned me that the bike is going to turn into a towel holder, belt hanger, and just a nuisance wherever I eventually choose to place it.

It has been four to six months now and so far, we...well, I have put the bike to more or less to good use. Somehow, getting the kids to get on it is as painful as getting your molars out, without the painkillers.

Usually, during the middle of the day when my energy level drops tremendously, I switch the TV on or perch my laptop up on the sofa, load my KDrama just to get some cycling done. If I want the added bonus of wind in my face, then I can just pull the standing fan closer to me la. Make do, right? ^.^

And then I finish it off with a good measure of yoga and it makes me feel like brand new.

Don't you get that feeling too?

Anyway, discipline is one thing, cycling past the first five minutes is the hardest thing.

And the funny thing is that once you have passed the I-think-maybe-not-now-I-have-got-tons-of-things-waiting-for-me-to-do stage, you don't want it to stop. Every time I am near my goal, I will want to push just a little further. It's a good thing, right?

Finishing off a session of yoga is an added bonus. It is like you are filled with euphoria and then yoga balance and calms you down.

No wait, I actually finish off with a shower. THEN, life is complete.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
