sebelum mimpi nak buat any one of these variation,
nanti terkehel. My insurance policy doesn't cover my blog readers.)

Remember my rhetorical quest on finding the PERFECT man, ehhh.. mat last year?

Well, along the way I've tried and used few different men mats (apa asyik tersasul je hari ni). When the grip was tight, the color turned me off. When the texture was right, the thickness pulak just didn't suit me. And you CAN get tired of good looking ones (aku tengah cakap pasal MAT laa), not to mention they tend to wear out faster. Carik boyfriend yang boleh diharap pun gamaknya lagi senang dari carik mat yang bagus.

So somewhere a couple of weeks ago, when I thought I've found it, I didn't think twice. That's one thing about me, if it's my laptop's weary charger, my car's mortal power window, or my crucial monthly supply of protein shake, I keep procastinating and and forcing myself into believing that, I won't die lahhh without it. Next gaji lah, next month lah, rounded up from 2005 to dah mid 2006 ni tak berganti / beli jugak..

But when it comes to niceeeeee yoga pants and mats, I tell you.. Macam takde tomorrow dah. So, I impulsively bought THE MAT (that I'll get back to you about) when I actually own two v.v.v good mats from British India and another from Australia. When I'm at the studio, I use another IT mat from Selfridges and am currently testing / using Adidas' exquisite Stella McCartney yoga mat (until further notice from Anna, he hee..).

Tapi jadik cikgu tak boleh tamak. Like I always say, hati I ada satu je. So I'll stick to using my favorite trusteed mat and let YOU try what it feels like doing yoga on a real good mat. Mana tau, TIBA-TIBA boleh buat Peacock ke, boleh terapung ke, terbang ke (nampak sangat tengok Laksamana Do Re Mi malam tadi)..

Bottomline:

I'm selling THE mat. The mat that was used in all the three varied downward dogs above (P.S. If you don't use a good mat, jangan harap dapat just the right stretch in your downward dog and if you do yoga in the gym, God knows how stinky they smell, bau peluh semua orang kering lepas tu basah semula) and here are some facts that might get you interested in buying;

- The mat was bought and shipped from UK.
(Ayat lagi senang: cannot be found / bought here.)
- I've only used it for two weeks. Pakai adalah dalam empat kali.
(kalau nak my autograph on the mat, tambah lagi RM50, ha haaa.. ok, lawak kan, kan?).
- I'm selling it for RM200. Ni dah bagi discount tak kira shipping cost sumer.

Note: For serious buyers and practitioners ONLY.

Aku boleh jadi marah okkkkk kalau korang beli lepas tu aku nampak korang buat bentang jadi alas picnic ke, buat tikar tidur ke, camping ke. Kalau korang nak buat sejadah, serious yoga mat tak best sebab takde rambu-ramba and baldu segala. Pikir-pikirkan lah.

Tapi kalau ramai sangat nak beli, korang bid lah harga sesama sendiri ;), ok? Mana tau ada yang sanggup offer sampai RM2K ke, aku boleh beli lagi 10 pastu jual lagi.

Tracy Ford. Thank you.
