Don b like tat = ng moi kam yong
Siu laat tai ngar!! = laugh til big tooth fall!!! for calling gossip girl yoga master! Hahaha
SK too much mahjong dy, too much 'spot d difference' dy! Wat I meant was, according to Elina, teacher get paid 50% from d amount of class fee collection at tat particular class.... not ghee ghee or me get 50% off d class fee to attend d class. However, Elina said as a teacher there, teacher can attend any classes any number of times free wor! Dunno how true! Get paid for teaching somemore get to attend any classes free! Anyway, looking at her studio timetable, really nothing much choices I can or interested very much to attend le. Anyway, let me face & pass my biggest challenge 1st la starting tis coming sunday before I even start thinking bout other stuff! Btw, Elina's english normal lor but there is some kind of slang there. Don think is American or British slang though.
SK, go jogging/walking, qi gong la since very difficult to go yoga nowadays... I bet u didnt try out Fri at Jo's studio hor.
Ya, Jersey Gal, how things with Uncle Hiew? How things with u ah? Stil very bz ar?
Next yr, I have booked airasia to go back 1st May til 1st July.... in btwn planning to go HK (13-20 May) & Bali (17-20 June).... Do u think u guys wanna go SDK again?? A makan trip :) We can check any cheap fares & book now, compare MAS & airasia.
Pray kuat kuat for me tis Sunday!

Didn't expect it to b tat soon ....
You r wrong if u r guessing tat! No, I m not pregnant yet!!!!!
Today met up with Elina the owner of Yoga Tree Studio in ABD. PG went with me. Yeah, our names so closely similar. She is 37 yrs old, if u r interested to know :P Haha She's fr Finland.
We kind of prepared ourselves.... I mean I prepared myself a little bit ...like I brought my Yoga Teacher Training Certificate which I got in 2007!!! plus my other yoga workshop certs. In Malaysia, never really heard anybody would need to see that cert. But I just brought it with me, just in case she wanted to see the cert.
And she really asked me if I can show her the cert!!!!! For the 1st time after my certification & paying so much for my teacher training, my certificate really laku one oh!!! When she saw the cert, she said " Ah (with a smile), yes, this is good. I want to see this".... our training cert is recognised & registered with the Yoga Alliance, USA. In Malaysia, I think people may not bother to see it. Hahaha.
So the initial part was she chatted with me asking about my background. Since when I started practicing & so on. Then she showed me ard her studio. Decent studio, clean. Well equipped. Afterthat trying out my teaching. We had about 20 mins where Elina pretended to b a student & I would be the teacher to teach. So off I went ahead to teach. After finished the teaching part, she said she like it. I was surprised becoz I am expecting the worst from this.....meaning I never expect she as a westerner/angmo will consider to take a chinese to teach her students. Her students are all expats & westerners. We can't speak as fluent english as them ... as good vocab/grammar as them.... & yet speaking/giving instructions clearly & correctly is a major part of the job to teach a class!!! English is not our mother language mah. When I pretended teaching her, I made some mistakes in speaking too. Maybe it is really difficult to find a yoga teacher in ABD & Dubai, they are a bit desperate to get a teacher.
So she offer me to try out teaching in Sept on 6th & 13th & tentatively 27th (could be still Raya holiday here). Basically sunday class 8.30-9.30pm. Pay wise .... teacher will get 50% from each class depending on the number of students for tat particular class. Fee per yoga session in ABD & Dubai very very expensive oh!!!!!!! SK, we are so lucky in Msia!!!! 50 per hr per person at her studio. For example if 10 students on tat day, I shall get about RM250 per class.
So I will try, I dunno whether the students will like my teaching style. Whether they will like a chinese to teach. I hope I can handle the class of expats!! Unlike in Msia, those students oso my frens, they are chinese & we can stil sometimes explain in Cantonese or hokkien or malay or hakka.
Juz pray kuat kuat for me la!! Hahahaha!!!

RSVP on my webbie ....
Jess & Ms Yeap ady RSVP ...
Jess, I think by d time u snap a pic of ur new look, it's ady an old look :P unless u can b efficient to do so :P heehee haahaa
Jess, it's actually not right to skip meals bcoz ...
1. when ur body cant find nutrients, body will start taking glucose fr ur brain & u will feel tired & sleepy
2. is not tat u don feel hungry easily when u don eat lunch. It's a overhunger & body lock down. Once ur body lock down, it lock down d toxins as well so toxins stay in ur body instead of being expelled fr ur body
3. sooner or later u may face gastric prob
4. u get hungry when u eat bcoz it's a healthy sign tat ur body has digested d food. It means ur body getting nutrient.
U can improve ur diet wif followings:
1. bfast - add fruit portions such as 1 olen + 1 apple (apple wakes u more complete to coffee)
2. don skip ur main meals. Take cereal drink, add oat if possible. Have fruits smoothie or fruit portions (3 tablespoon of oat takes 3 hrs to digest, so u spend more energy digesting than absorbing)
3. ur diner looks good!
4. keep sipping water thru out the day, keep hydrated :)
5. reward urself after long time of restraint..hv normal meal or ur favorite food once in awhile :) mentally u need to pamper urself once in awhile k :)
Jess, we know u too well.... but we also wan u to b better.... we oso wan d best for u... so rmbr to come on 28th Oct nite & on time :P haha..we don wan u to miss the good time mah!
So, we look fwd to see a Smoking Hot Jess very soon!!!!!! Rmbr Japanese rich guy loves smoking hot girl!!! We are waiting for ur japanese wedding dinner in japan! yay!!!!!!

Congratulation Buddy!
Haven't got a chance to snap a nice photo. Once I do, will post it on our blog.
Now I understand, why sometime I ate lunch, but I get hungry by 5pm sometime 6pm, I was wondering why I get hungry so fast, in fact I ate lunch, when I don't eat lunch, I won't get hungry so fast. Now I understand this is because my body metabolism is working when I ate, and the little food is keep it working and active to burn more calories and fat, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for the info.
I never eat the California dates, I brought home for my parent and sis, they love it, because it sweet. Got salty dates meh? In Malaysia or ABD?
Hey, I already reply RSVP on you e-invitation. Your looks extreme gorgeous in the photos. First time see you make up, you and PG looks fabulous.
Ya, SK, you got heavy task, make sure Jess is not forget about the dinner and also keep her on time. (Poor me being mark as late comer) ;( sob sob...
Once again, Congratulation buddy.

Busy like hell!
Hey gals, miss your all so much. Quite busy lately cause need to close as much as sales I can before the Fasting and Hari Raya start, otherwise, I got no income for the month of Sept and Oct.
My dad - Uncle Hiew's eye is in recover progress, his condition is getting better and better, he even put on a little bit weight.
I'm sure they all are very busy now packing the California dates. I miss the work packing not the dates, cause I never eat them....haha.
I haven't receive the 'red bomb' from Shy, but she did call me ask for my address. I guess the mail boy still trying to figure out my address. =) Is Jean confirm attending her wedding? I doubt, cause Jean never like to attend such social dinning.
I started my diet plan, but I didn't follow straightly like you all advice, cause I need energy running up and down in the field. But I cut down my food portion, I do lost weight, but it went very slow.
My diet meal:
Morning - a cup of cereal, a cup of low fat milk, a cup of yogurt.
Afternoon - some time a bowl of meehoo or I don't ever have my lunch.
Night - my mum cook without rice, mostly vege.
Any better suggestion on meal to reduce weight faster and still gaining energy to work?
Hey, I cut my hair. Now my hair length is shorter and above shoulder.

According to SK...
3 kinds of ppl...
"sup suk" = cooked
"pun sang suk" = half-cooked
"sup mm suk" = not cooked
most annoying kind is "sup mm suk" bcoz they think themselves very "suk" but they actually "sup mm suk"!!
SK : u c, v "sup suk" ppl dun really know wat the "sup mm suk" ppl will do.....
SK : ... and the level of "suk"-ness has got no direct relation wif age

Palm trees everywhr here budding bunches of dates
Feel free to harvest or pluck, let them rest for couple of weeks, they shall b ready to go into ur stomach. Eat fresh ones - has d 'kiap kiap' taste.
It's totally odd feeling
I felt extremely odd celebrating Spore National Day... they sang Spore National song, said their plegde as Sporean (juz like our rukunegara).. v stood & observed together lor.... very weird feeling & I know I m a Malaysian at heart :P though I m not patriotic at all, I don bother Msia National Day except another public holiday! yay!!, I throw rubbish on streets to create job opportunities u see, I complain bout my country :P bout slow govn service...etc However, I learnt a few things bout Sporean fr a trivia they did as a game on tat nite... Sporeans very realistic, they accepted the fact that they have all these values - kiasu, kiasi & kiapoh (fear of wives wor)... & also one of their past times is complaining! Haha
On tat nite, those Sporeans collected 44K dirham & donated to a special need child, who was there at diner too. There was a video presentation bout tat special kid. When it came to a part where d mother of d kid was speaking, we stil dunno who d heck d mother was bcoz all v saw on d screen was a black thing speaking. She was wearing their black outfit covered all over.. cannot see face oso.... so we only watching a black thing speaking lor... for me, i think this was hilariously ridiculous
Enuff bout d Spore National Day celebration nite.
Jersey gal got big business & muz bz rushing to deliver her goods on time! Fuel up Jess!!!
