sawadeeka

kym working in the kitchen. last nite i went to the little thai eating place where kym works part time as the sous chef. hahaha.
ok ok, i am kidding. he knows nuts about cooking! but the photo turned out quite convincing yah. he can pass off as a 'thai chai' (thai guy). haha.
last nite we went to this very small thai place at sheung wan, the food is yummylicious! the thai lady is really funny, she cooks and laughs at the same time, and doesnt mind kym snooping around in the open kitchen. celebs eat here too. but only two tables. you can also sit by the road or in the little provision shop next door which also belongs to the same owner.
the place is so tiny and has such a friendly atmosphere that soon we are serving ourselves. hahaha.
this bbq fish is so good! oh this is food cooked with love. i can feel the joy and happiness the lady puts into her cooking. its so nice to sit there and watch her cook. love this quaint, totally chilled out place. must go back soon.
his hair..... kakoii desu ka?

p.s. yeah i bought krishna das' greatest hits of the kali yuga cd from pure after class today. listening to it now. totally uplifting.

yes, more dresses!

hi girsl! good morning! how is everyone? can you believe it that half of 2008 is almost over, july is approaching! its so true that the older you get, the faster you feel time is moving. haha. i am currently working on the next launch which we hope to be up by tomorrow or latest wednesday. depending on my speed. this launch we are sharing with you more dresses! last launch was too little. yes, we agree. last week i went on a buying trip and went crazy on the colourful printed strappy dresses!! some indie print, some retro print. the prints are really nice. i really like them. i bought a lot! and i intend to keep one each for myself. hehe. i hope you like them too.
ok back to work! talk later!

special yoga weekend

hi girls, to celebrate my first yoga birthday, this weekend will be a special yoga weekend on the blog! yeah! i still remember a year ago, i made a pact with myself to make exercise part of my life and decided to give yoga another try (i did yoga 3 years ago at a gym only for a few classes. nothing clicked. i guess i wasnt ready at that moment). last year this time, i asked the universe for a teacher whose words will resonate with me as i did not want a teacher who only focuses on the physical aspects. it turns out that maurice was the teacher in that trial class at pure i went to. everything fell into place. thank you universe.
usually my passion in a new hobby dies off pretty fast ( i would join a gym, go everyday for 3 months, and never go again). i realised that. and also becos i have started kyurii and did not have a stable and good income like i used to, this 663hkd per month fees meant a lot to me. i cannot be living my old habits again. therefore i made another promise to myself to spread my energy out evenly and steadily. no more of that strong passionate craze which is followed by a total burn-out. i remembered telling my friends i am going to make yoga part of my life after i signed up. haha. at that time, i said that purposely so that if i ever stop going after 3 mths, my frens can use my words against me 'suyin, i thought you said you want to make yoga part of your life? what happened?' haha. but somehow it turns out that my words did come true. yoga has indeed become part of my life. : )
here is a movie trailer of an 1hr documentary titled, Living Yoga, based on the life and teachings of Swami Satchidananda (1914-2002). i hope you enjoy it.
last note, yoga is not just about the asanas, its a way of living. namaste. : )

om shanti

back from class. the yin class was divine. the teacher played a really soothing sound of the water. he said he just wants to flow with the water. me too, just flow and surrender my entire body to the universe. i wish the class will go on and on... the music, the surrendering poses, the meditative atmosphere, the dim light in the dark room, the stillness, the absence of mind. the 'om' chant at the end of the class was calm, soft but powerful, absolutely beautiful. i can feel the vibration from the echo within the room.
i am chanting the gayatri mantra now to end the night in a quiet peaceful way.
oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayāt
p.s. yes guys, i think i am turning into a hindu.

happy 1st yoga birthday to me!

how is everyone? my internet was down for the past 2 days becos of the bad typhoon no.8. my tv was also affected. the strong winds must have blew the cable down. i was told by the technician this morning that the whole building was down.
but it was a nice break, i felt the universe gave me a 2 day break from the internet to commemorate my first year anniversary in yoga. i totally immersed myself in a half day yoga retreat at pure for the last 2 days. it was a bliss! i also gave a trendy skull bandana (coz he's always wearing one) to my first yoga teacher, maurice for sharing his energy and giving awareness to my practise. haha.
also, here's wishing maurice and the other participating teachers strength and love at the first yoga aid challenge held in hk on 4 July, to complete 108 sun salutations to raise money for children in need. spreading the love...
p.s. i suddenly remembered reading someone's comment asking if yoga helps in weight loss. well i think doing yoga regularly does help. some people might perceive yoga as just stretching, and therefore not strenuous, but thats not really accurate. you will be surprised how much calories it can burn, especially if you do the more physically demanding like bikram (hot) yoga or ashtanga (power) yoga. yeah me going for an hour of hot and an hour of yin yoga tonite! : P

long frizzy hair


last night i got a shock from kym! he came back from pattaya not only with a tattoo (this one he told me about it) but hair extension!! he did the bob marley dreadlocks! (well actually its his second dreadlocks, nothing new to him). mm...
i know he is trying to keep his hair long but i just didnt expect it to happen overnite! or rather over a trip. haha but i have to admit lately i am really into guys with long wavey or textured hair (cannot be long, straight, fine hair with a clean shaven face. YEEKS! makes me squirm) that is tied back into a bun or let loose. and of coz, it must come with a stubble. one great example is none other than mr yohji yamamoto. totemo kakoii desu ne!
i will try to take a photo of the dreadlocks and we can see if its also kakoii. hahaha! but one thing for sure, kym's designer stubble is not that kakoii. its malnourished. haha. oops. he is going to kill me if he sees this. whenever he is japan, he is scornful of all the kakoii japanese men with the full, healthy stubble. maybe he needs to apply some brandy or something.

'Do your practice and all is coming' - Sri K Patthabi Jois

having a headache now. i think its the rain. i am too lazy to take out my umbrella after yoga today. today i bought another yoga mat. i brought my other one back home to sin. i am going to attempt headstand once my sore hamstrings is gone. i need to practise at home against the wall. hehe. oh i duno what got into me. i have never been that much of a sporty person. i would join the gym, go for 3 mths and then never go at all. i am surprised at myself when it comes to yoga. its been almost a year, and i am still practising at least 5 times a week. i guess i found it. i am disciplined (pat on my shoulder hee...) and i feel inspired. it is a part of my life. it must be the best gift i give to my body.
i need to thank myself for making the firm decision last year that i needed some form of exercise within my life and then taking the action. we always thank people, sometimes we forget to thank ourselves. : )
p.s. girls, remember kyurii is on facebook now. search for 'suyin kyurii' or 'kyurii_online@yahoo.com.sg' and join us! we also invite you to join the 'I LOVE KYURII' group that we set up!

10,9,8.....
