The Day Maybe Later but Not Here, Not Today

Dear Diary,

I am really sorry.
I am not really in the right mind and body to share what I learned
at the recent Spring | Summer adidas Fitness Academy, Kuala Lumpur.

Not here.
Not today.

Maybe if you attend any of my yoga classes
at either Celebrity Fitness or by my poolside at Damansara Perdana
but not here,
not today.

But I have two dozens of pictures
of Asia's most celebrated yoga instructors
and what latest adidas we got to wear.


DAY 1

My bad, it was held at Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre, NOT Pyramid Tower as mentioned at my previous entry. The participants stayed at the latter though.


















This manual contains the core crunching twists I'll make you do.






















It read,
"This is ME.
Rainbeau Mars.

Yoga Professional.

Entrepreneur.

Chocoholic."























If it were mine, I'd want it to read,
"This is ME.
Ninie Ahmad.

.............................
.
.......................
.
........................................... . "
You'll get to read it in adidas stores one day.

Rainbeau Mars in flesh telling us to go






















standing on our heads.
Yes, most of us were wearing the same latest Yatra (adidas Yoga) products.
You'll get to buy them from adidas stores one day.






















The adidas Techfit Powerweb tops Rainbeau and I wore in this picture
can be found at any adidas Concept Stores for RM259 each.






















DAY 2

With beautiful Brancy, the other representative for Malaysia.
She is a belly dance instructor for Celebrity Fitness and
was the runner-up for So You Think You Can Dance Season 1.

Remember Jessica from last year's adidas Fitness Academy, Shanghai?
That IS really her at the background poster.

















And that's her again.
She is like, Ninie Ahmad here the Rainbeau Mars of Korea.
And she is not 18. Both of us will be 27 this year.






















With Lin Min, yoga ambassador for China.
Although she might look 27 like me, but she swears to God she is 38 years old.
What, I look 14? Thank you.
Word. Yoga.

A must-do every year, last year I got to imitate Rainbeau in Side Crow

This year, I was mistaken for Rainbeau by Rainbeau!

















After 'graduation' of a gruelling 16-hours of adidas Yoga certification,

















you get a roomful of Asia's yoga instructors splitting around..

















playing choo-choo train upside down,

















making the stage theirs to be Pigeons, Dancers and Peacocks..













































































With adidas Malaysia's Dunstan and Lina.
Thank you for the KL Fitness Academy and please don't forget to send me
for the Fall | Winter Fitness Academy in Beijing this July.

















Pretty much what I ate every lunch for the whole three days of the academy.
Cherry tomatoes, kerabu mangga, vegetarian prawn and vegetarian fish.

















DAY 3

Other selected Asian yoga, combat and dance instructors
with Rainbeau Mars after the Yoga Master Class on the final day.

















Bobo, Ninie and Lin Min with their smiles and spines wide open
thrilled to have been handpicked by Rainbeau Mars
to help her monitor the Yoga Master Class.









































Goodbye adidas Fitness Academy, Kuala Lumpur.
See you in Beijing this coming summer!

I will share more
in another entry, another day.
But I am sorry again,
it wont' happen here,
it won't happen today.

I am not in my right mind and body to share.

The Day Malaysia Boleh (tahan lah!)

Dear Diary,

I haven't felt this proud being a Malaysian for quite some time.
(Although my 'quite some time' was only last Saturday when Nicol David won Malaysian Open again,
and she wore the very same adidas Techfit top I was wearing that day as well ;D)




















0-2 to Chelsea, not bad!

Thank God I had The Joker (Yoga Zone's new yoga teacher, Alex from Canada is one funny guy, I tell you) and Kak Leila from adidas in my Batmobile or else I would have died in the two-hour traffic going to the stadium and another to get out of it after the match.

There is still no Internet in my room (my tech support is finally coming home from London this Friday!) and I still can't find my Sony T-11's USB adapter (while I'm at it, anybody has extra?), or else I could have shared up close pictures of Ashley Cole, Michael Ballack and heh heh, Anuar Zain whom according to adidas' Brand Manager, was seated in the VVIP box.

_____________________________________________

A special message to my dearest practitioners at Yoga Zone,

Do not stop practicing, yoga is 99% practice, 1% theory,
practice on your own this week, if you can.
And if we don't ever get to practice together again,
I wish you well and all the very Zen.

Although I want to believe that, we will.
Until Monday..
