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..

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 I've Never Felt More Of A (errr..) Celeb?

Dear Diary,

THIS has got to be bar bone, the most memorable party I attended and participated in, this year.

















That was me on big screen turning everyone on the floor into Trees (Vrikshasana)!


Event: adidas Women Event FW '08
Venue: The Gardens Hotel, Midvalley
Date: September 10, 2008 Time: 7 - 10.30pm
Emcees: Jien and Henry Golding

I did not get to take pictures on my own camera, because my battery died and I left it charging in the 'ambassadors' waiting room' throughout. When it was finally charged, my session was finished and most of the celebs have left. So I missed out once in a lifetime year opportunity to be in pictures when I get to pretzel Amber Chia, Deborah Henry, Sazzy Falak, Daphne Iking (nasib baik selalu jumpa Daphne) and many more.

Thanks to some of the participants that night (thanks Janice! Thanks Janet!) that tagged me on Facebook & to Femmething, Ringo and Joyce so I can still share these pictures of how grand and fun of an event it was, and of what you have missed that night.

[Photo credits and thanks to Janice, Janet, Femmething.com, Cheeserland.com and Kinkybluefairy.net
























Henry read this while introducing me to the media and participants during the star 'catwalk':

"Ninie Ahmad is our celebrity yoga instructor and yoga ambassador. This small girl joined Nescafe Kickstart Season 3 last year with big dream to publish Malaysia's first yoga magazine but did not win the RM150,000 cash grand prize. To Ninie, not winning does not mean losing. To date, she has published two yoga magazines on her own and in process of building her yoga empire in Kuala Lumpur. Living yoga as her lifestyle and living Impossible Is Nothing as her mantra, Ninie is dubbed Malaysia's most flexible if not most successful yoga instructor."

Can I get that written on my tombstone as well?


























Finishing pose at my catwalk, with Jien niceeeeeeeeeely mocking me at the back, not bad!


































Unintended waldrobe malfunction :P on the magical adidas Techfit Powerweb.
Kenot help lah..







































































Daphne Iking, Lavin Seow and Fouziah Gous looking ever so serene during my session.
Either I was really good or they are really good actresses!

























Sizzling Sazzy, I love her because she's so cool (and hot!) and she's as small as me!




















With Joyce Wong, [who is NOT smaller than me :( ]
whom IMHO, more known and a bigger celebrity than all of us ambassadors combined.

























Celebrity blogger, Amanda proving Impossible Is Nothing

























Yours truly and her dearest housemate, Henry Golding who was also the emcee of the event, alongside Jien. If you can believe me, I did not vouch Henry to adidas, everybody simply seems to love Henry! I'm so proud of him, and to be able to claim that we go home together every night, ha haa!

























One of my last poses for the session, Boat II Pose (Navasana II). So bad of me forcing everyone into doing this almost-impossible pose, heh heh.. But you know what, in adidas and on adidas' yoga mat, almost everyone in floor was doing it! Very impressive, ladies!


















Everyone in their favourite pose, Child Pose (Balasana), heh heh.
Oh so serene. Oh that's a nice tattoo.



















The participants seemed to be loving me! I love you too!
I spotted Tria, winner of ntv7's Audition Season 1.
I actually rooted and voted for her back then, tau!


















More of their happy faces. Told ya', each and every one will bag home RM500
worth of goodie bag! Rugi tak datang, woo!






















All the female ambassadors (except for Christien New, how did you end up there lah?) with the sporting big boss of adidas Malaysia. Encik Darren Choy, we love you long long time!


































With most of the participants and celebrities participating that night. Yes, no prize in distinguishing which one is Ninie. I did not even wear push-up or tried to kepit OK..


Useless fact: I had the hardest of time posing for the media that night, every angle I tried to bend and twist might cause the pictures to undergo heavy tiles pixelation before they can make it to prints!


I can never thank adidas enough so I will forever thank them for the exposure (I immediately saw myself on Bernama@tv the next day!), for the opportunity to handle a roomful of celebrity stars, star bloggers, medias and amazing participants (I couldn't have made it without your support and enthusiasm!), for the amazing Techfit Powerweb I had the honour to officiate;

and for all the more reason to keep believing that
Impossible Is Nothing,
for me.

Your 'Celebrity' Yoga Instructor hearts you too.
