Baby Blues

My sis and nephews left last Friday for UK and eversince then, the house has been immensely quiet. So quiet, the silence is deafening. I miss the kids so much! Anyhow, it has been a good weekend. Did spend a few hours cleaning out the wardrobe. It was funny watching Pete try on his old clothes. Some of his pants were pretty tight, it made him look ........I dare not say. Anyhow, we collected a few bags of unwanted stuffs. M not sure what to do with them since there aren't any charity shops. That was one good thing in UK, charity shops! Things don't get thrown away, instead recycled for somebody else's use.

Today's class at Tasek Lama was funny. The students look ready for the session and I thought it would be good to work them through their paces. Half way through the class, two of the students started looking distracted and was in little episodes of giggles. One of them asked," Jac, are you in a bad mood? You're tough on us today...." I was surprised at her remark but I couldn't help but laugh along with them. (Yes Kaye, I agree, should have gone to Country Patch instead :0)

I think it was a bit of both. Being nostalgic about my nephews not being here with me and trying too hard to focus. I was determined to keep with the pace and I guess it was me trying to refrain the child pose. Maybe the child pose reminded too much of my nephews. Sorry guys!!!

But glad we all had the giggles together.

It feels like a 'de ja vu' of bird flu, apparently you catch it just like you would do if someone else has a flu. It supposedly varies in severity, with the worst cases leading to fatal pneumonia and respiratory failure. The new strain seems to be more lethal to those in the 25 to 45 age range - an ominous sign, as this was a hallmark of the Spanish 1918 flu pandemic that killed tens of millions worldwide. Younger people were probably hit harder by the 1918 flu virus because their immune systems over-reacted

The face mask I see in the pictures gives a false sense of security. They are 'paper tissue like' and if you wear it for one whole hour, the mask gets moist and wet around your mouth. ( I would know having to wear those darn things when I was nursing the ill) Unless you have bought yourself a whole box of face masks and change it every hour, then you might be okay. Even then, it's not a 100 percent preventative measure. The better face mask is the surgical face mask which the surgeons wear in theatres. And that, I add 'better', not 100 percent. I used to place two clinical face mask (which are the ones they are handing out) and then the surgical mask on top, if there was a flu bug going around the ward.

Super Gran !

Got this post from Yee Man and I was flabbergasted at super duper nan doing the crow pose. This is Bette Calman at 83 years old from south east Australia, she still practices yoga and I can't believe she's still doing arm balancing poses. If you want to look at more pics, read all about her here

Surya Yoga at Muara Beach

Took the Maktab Sains School students to the beach this morning. The weather was nice and there was a cool breeze while we were practising. It's so nice when you practice yoga outdoors. Ahhhh, c'est la vie!

Bon Voyage Jules and Happy Birthday Kaye !!!

Jules gift (the pics in the gorgeous frame) with Kaye's birthday/bon voyage cake to Jules.

Candy's work of art......Love the cake Candy, Thanks a million for it!!

Stuart with his lovely hair trying to meditate with the cake in mind

Hugs and wishes

Kaye: Sorry Jules, Stuart's still in a meditative trance, seeking higher assistance in,"Should we cut this cake or not?"


Stuart: Aaauuummmmm, ccccuuuuttttt the kk kk ....cake!!!!

It was Kate's birthday today and Jules last yoga lesson with us. I was sad to see her leave but am glad to have her as my yoga student for the past 8 months.

We started the morning off with a gentle yoga flow and then headed off to the kitchen for teas and coffees with the birthday/bon voyage cake Candy made us. The cake was gorgeous! Everyone was impressed with the design and believe me, it taste real good. Kaye didn't want to cut the cake, we all wanted to slice off the top bit to frame it !

I was very touched by Jules gift, she and Stuart made a collage of different pictures taken in Tasek Lama and placed it in a nice frame. I couldn't have ask for a better gift, and I can only wish Jules and Stuart the best in everything they do.
