a new day same problems!! same same but different!

PRESS IMPRESSION

just playing around with pictures taken by my life partner Mr Boklund my pillar of strength and he drives me completely MAD! trying to save as much dosh i can to do my own press kit for local magazines and newpapers.
the posture/asana is taken by my colleague in my IPHONE and rendered in photo FX app and that is IT.
i am aware that pictures say a 1000 words however you don't have to have the best lenses or the latest equipment to capture a shot! i know that for sure because i've worked with one of the best photographers around the world, Siow Jen Hor, Paul Gadd, Simon Chin and many more.
i dislike NEPOTISM  but unfortunately this is how things work world wide! editors works with their prefered photographer, producers chooses their own director and a businessmen chooses their preferred bank, architect chooses their own builders and list goes on.....it's lightly put as PREFERRED customer/director/bank etc etc but it actually means i don't care who you are this is who i'll work with!
the whole world goes round just like the wheels on the bus in the above said manner and i HATE it!

good lord you only have 1 life just be different and stand for it!!

waiting in vain!

autumn is creeping in but today it's almost an indian summer. i love it!! days like this makes things bearable and full of possibilities!
these past weeks have been very challenging and fairly annoying....oh what a drag!! We did a study trip to west coast...Varberg & Gothenburg! Me and my teaching buddy Mia was up to no good and decided to see what west coast got to offer in terms of HOT YOGA....me oh my, it was so much fun....this is how our trip goes:
drove in Mia nasty mini vehicle - we were nastified & hungry!

  • Wednesday 14.00 Lund - Varberg - Yoga Institutet - Cecilia 90 mins  Hot Yoga * 160kr Drop in 
  • then drove straight up to Gothenburg stayed in Hotel Allen (booking.com) best rates in town for best price.
  • Thursday 11.00 Hot Yoga GBG,  - Isabel - 60 mins of Hot Flow**
  • Thursday 19.30 Alexia, Masthugget - Tove - 60 mins of Anusara Vinyasa * free trial
  • Friday 17.00 Yoga Institutet  - Mikael 75 mins Hot Yoga *160 kr

** Isabel was very gracious to let us in, following the tradition of Bikram yoga studios to allow traveling teachers to practice for free otherwise it's 200 kr per class for drop in.

In total we enjoy the trip a lot and i personaly think it is very important to touch base with yoga studio around to just keep a healthy relationship. These people are not just yogis they are also human being with great compassion and empathy. We sometimes forget to co exist, limitation to adapt makes one a very up tight and very defensive. I am all for unity, we might not see with same eye but we must able ourselves to have the same vision, create a better and healthier communities.

I learn a lot about heating and ways to heat, room size,structure and logistic without sounding TONTIG all these elements is really important. A lot of things to learn and i am just at the beginning of my journey...SCARY but i can handle it!

When we came home & one advance class later whilst my butt still hurt....we are ready to do this again!!

It is incredibly hard for me to mourn the loss of my dad, this mourning period is kinda long but very healing. I lost my best friend 1998 and i was a broken soul and i was so down & out. I fasted and went on really strict mourning period but this one is different...after all this is my dad, i did spend a lot of time with him...well we mourn differently i guess.

i was invited to a few parties but it was so hard to turn it  down as i don't feel down but it is culturally forbidden for us to go out or to show that we are having fun or tone down.
In the olden days and  still in some of my family we don't even laugh or smile while mourning. GRIMM but it is just to show a sign of respect.

Next week i am praying for a better week and i am waiting in vain for many answers!!
so please please....make it a good one!!

my hero and my inspiration!

the head of my family, my bapak has passed away peacefully in Malaysia this afternoon(m'sian time).
i don't know how you write a post for that....but i am relieved that he is at rest and in a better place.

he made me what i am today, he tells me to always put your head up high and smile when things gets rough and never give up because at the end of the day he says "we are all made of the same thing"
it's just that we a made  differently - so no fear!

i shall not mourne of his passing instead i will cherish him just the way he is while he was alive. I am so blessed to have him as my Bapak/Father - funny,witty, amped up laughter,creative,a scholar & rockstar!

i love you Pak! You are my ROCKSTAR!

Do a posture a day keeps the doctor away




by the time we get into this posture I get a sense of relief coz I know that standing series is almost over & 2 minutes savasana is coming!PHEW!! but still you have the most important yoga - the floor series but it gets easier!
It's a bit like how it is with the current situation in regards with the renovation with the studio.
It is going forward but it's gravitating backwards.
I almost gotten everything sorted like booking & paying system, printing of name cards, staff members, HOTkids programming and all paper work for bank loan & account & the list goes on really....no stopping!!
I am truly blessed to be surrounded with good buddies whom I met through my years as Fru Boklund in Lund and my debut as a yoga teacher in Malmö! It really empowers me when people saw what i am made of & genuinely wanted to help me out, again I am very grateful
What goes do come!
