The Day You Too Can Choose To Act Over The Inconvenient Truth That You Know (now)

Dear Friends,

I am still in the mood for Earth Day since HBO has been continuously showing The Inconvenient Truth. I feel that I should stress the last part of my last entry slightly more since I have been getting quite a number of feedbacks (I thank you for your time and hugs) on stopping milk and going green therefore the first half of this entry is a paraphrasing of the last one.

If you haven't read the entry, it was basically about my doctor concluded that I got kidney stone from drinking too much milk.


* * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * *

A gentle and loving reminder
to my dearest friends and readers,

Do not drink too much cow milk,
opt to switch to soy milk, if you must.

If you are serious about saving the earth &
caring for our environment,
if you are concerned about our current global food crisis,
if you claim you are an animal-lover
AND
if you wish to take your yoga practice to the next level,

BE A VEGETARIAN.
If you can.

And how exactly will you help save our earth and be healthier by going green?
Here are the reasons why and why not now.

1. Milk, The Deadly Poison
2. Kentucky Fried Cruelty
3. Why Red Meat, Cow's Milk and Low-Fiber Diet Are Bad For You
4.Don't Drink Milk
5. Why Is Cow Milk Bad For Your Children
6. Why You Should Turn Vegetarian
7. Paul McCartney Urges People To Turn Vegetarian To Fight Global Warming
8. Would You Still Have The Heart To Eat Meat Even After Watching This?
9. Even Brad Pitt, Josh Hartnett, Petra Nemcova, Natalie Portman, Alanis Morissette, Pink, Avril Lavigne,
Brandon Boyd, Gavin Rossdale and Thom Yorke are vegetarians, are you next?

( DISCLAIMER & WARNING
If you are not ready to stop killing, give up gluttony and selfishness,
if you don't want to change for the better
just because you were raised and nurtured so
but you (think you) turned out and will grow old just fine,
if you (think you) are more religious than spiritual,
DO NOT READ these just yet. )

* * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * *


If you don't have the time to check the comments,
below are the highlights of the ones I have approved and replied to.

I gave up meat and chicken altogether last November,
at first to take my yoga practice to the next level.

One of the limbs in yoga says, No Killing.

I used to think, as long as I don't kill other human being, I'd be fine. I had the privilege to interview Sri Dharma Mittra and he explained that by being able to stop promoting animal killing, we will become better and more compassionate yoga teachers. By stopping taking lives of others to keep ours, we will be more forgiving, less angry and always feel content.

After the interview with the CEO of Justlife Cafe and organic food chain, Miss Callie for PRANAmag's first issue, it came to my senses that how being ignorant is damaging the body and destroying our earth slowly but surely, I decided 'why not NOW'.

(DISCLAIMER: Next paragraphs are based entirely on my personal opinion and experience.)

I determine to stop consuming meat and chicken to stop putting dead animals in my mouth and let them rot in my system and be my body (as harsh and it may sound, meat needs to rot in your stomach first before they can be digested). Studies show that before and during the agony of being slaughtered, the terrified animal will release toxins that poison the entire carcass.

Linda and Paul McCartney were quoted saying, "If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarians. We feel better about OURSELVES and better about the animals knowing we are not contributing to their pain."

Some claim, they choose meat over vegetables to avoid swallowing pesticides.

In reality, many grazing fields are treated with poisonous chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides (what do the cows eat, you think?). In addition, grains used for animal feeds are grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbisides. The chemical residues are stored in the body fats of the livestock that consumed them through grazing or feed, in much higher concentration. Researchers revealed that the agricultural chemical residues accumulated in livestock are 13 times higher than in conventional vegetables.

Some might even say "Well, we'll go for organic meat then."

Organic meat is worse from my ecological if not logical point of view. Organic animals are not fed with growth hormones so they take longer time to grow and as a result, they consume more organic feeds (which could feed more humans directly). Besides feed grains, it takes many folds of resources including lands, water and energy et cetra to produce each pound of organic meat as compared to conventional meats. Organic animals are raised in a more spacious environment. More feeds and farm space mean more forest needs to be cleared to cater the increasing demand on organic meat.

This decision of turning vegetarian is NOT a religious factor, at least not for me (a reader left a comment saying something along the line of 'Rasulullah pun makan daging, mungkin you percaya lain kot, takpelah..'). And if anything, I choose to take better care of my body by eating right and working out because I want to live in a healthy body longer.

In MY way, this is how I appreciate the body Almighty God has granted and lent me.




From The Inconvenient Truth


My contribution in saving the earth and handling global food crisis might be smaller than small but at least and on my part, I am trying. IMHO, the easiest way to save the earth from rapid deterioration is to eliminate global meat consumption starting from myself :)

You are welcome to join me.
If you are not ready to eliminate, start by reducing.
You'll be surprised, how better and happier you'll feel.

The Day My Friends Got Chickenpox from Eating Chicken Who'd Been Affected by Chickenpox

Dear Diary,










Since I got back from my beach holiday, figuring I wouldn't be needing my bikini figure any longer (if I ever had one), I have been bad. Bad, bad, bad.

In span of 20 days, I have had banana leaf rice meals more than 10 times. That is really really really bad. Ahhh, the damage is done and it's worth it.

I love Khanna Curry House at PJ for it's bizarre Kari Ikan Masin and lately, I've been a regular at Telawi's Nirwana Maju (again) for it's super sedap vegetarian chicken.

Been fooling with my Fear Factor Malaysia buddies when asked, "Damn nice weyy your vegetarian chicken, what is it made of actually?"

"Chicken yang makan sayur. Kan nama dia vegetarian chicken.."

I know I'm cute.

I've been recycling the joke everytime I eat at Nirwana Maju that even I got sick of it.

So when two of my close friends gone MIA for chickenpox last week, I started my, "Tulah, Haflin dengan Afa share makan ayam yang kena chickenpox. Makan ayam lagi! I tak makan ayam dah, so I'm safe."

He hee..

I feel like having banana leaf rice again for lunch tomorrow.

The Day It Was Live & Loud

Dear Diary,

And so I attended two Live & Loud concerts last week.

The first one was the R&B night for reminiscing good old time singing my lungs crazy to All My Life back in boarding school exactly 10 years ago, crying myself silly everytime I hear Crazy and ahhh, remembering the stupid tak larat *kenot tahan times when someone dedicated Tell Me It's Real to me.

I enjoyed the concert mainly for the fun company of my superfun and lovely girlfriends but I didn't appreciate K-Ci's manners up onstage. Please get yourself a room and not here in KL, please.

The final yet most anticipated night was of course, the Accoustic night at KL Convention Centre. Reason being, need I say it?

Simply put, James Morrison's Undiscovered CD is the CD I listen the most to this year. It's still playing on heavy rotation on my Playlist, in tie with Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams and Lifehouse's Lifehouse (I don't grow up, I know :D but I don't download, that you should know too).

So you can imagine my excitement and thrill when I first got the news that he was going to perform in town. Accoustic pulak tu!

Participate my kegelisahan tiada tara when he performed this break-up song of mine for my second last relationship that ended last June



"You pulled me under, that I had to give in,
Such a beautiful mess, that's breaking my skin,
Well I'll hide all the bruises, I'll hide all the damage that's done,
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone."
(from PIECES DON'T FIT ANYMORE)


only to be replied with his this song in return



"I've grown tired of being used,
And I'm sick and tired of being accused,
Now I'm walking away from you,
And I'm not coming back."
(from THE LAST GOODBYE)


Back then, I went "Eh, apahal pulak?"

I guess everybody deserves to be angry when feel cheated and :( unwanted. So the parting was painful and bitter especially when both parties felt equally cheated and unwanted. In my case, unwanted enough.

Well, it's all over now. I've never been single this long :P but I've never been this happy either. I wanted to upload my theme song Wonderful World too but I just realized that my voice drowned Morrison's most of the song. And it wasn't pleasant to the ears. Sayangnya..

* * * * * * * * *

On a completely different note, I think my dear friend, Tom Hayton the only one who understands my understated conquest and weakness of 'McDelivery' (although I've gone vegetarian now Tom, I don't mind your late night orders at all. McDelivery is 24 hours now, I heard. But I thought you were a vegetarian too?) looks a lot like James Morrison in that The Last Goodbye video, don't you think so?


Tom
is one amazing (looking?) guy that can look like Daniel Craig one day, Tobey Maguire on another. Although he (himself) thinks that his bottom half (I wasn't finished) facial features look very much like Kevin Spacey / Russell Crowe, if you look closely, even he agrees that he can even look like George Clooney!

I keep telling him "Tom, you can't be Spiderman, Batman, Gladiator and James Bond ALL IN ONE!"

Now James Morrison pulak!
Melampau keterlaluan *can die -_- TM, OK!

(*sign that one has been reading too much of Joyce, the Kinky Blue Fairy)

The Days It Feels Like I've Been Stung by A Thousand Bees

Dear all,

I thank you for all the comments and e-mails sending hugs and wishing me well.

I am really touched that (some of) you actually really care and please do not worry,
I do not have cancer / tumour!

My condition is called hives and just to make you understand
how painful it is and how really ugly it looks,
these were taken half an hour ago.

I have been getting this every night and everyday
for the past six weeks, by the way.
















right arm



















left arm
















thighs






And those are only on areas I can capture and share here.
I am not in my right body, given I'm not in my right mind too,
I'd have shared photos of how the hives look on my face (yes, my eyes and my lips),
at the flesh of my buns and at the meat of boobs!

Believe me,
they are more painful than they look
and they are so itchy the pain feels like blaring fire!

They usually make their appearance from 6 in the evening until I don't know whact time at night because I'd usually be knocked out from two tablets of Benadryl (they don't sell this in Malaysia, I don't know why) I have to take as soon as I'm back home from dinner. On my unlucky days, they'd still be there conquering more surface of my body and if that happens, I'd just have to call it literally a day, at home.

The very last time I suffered from them (before six weeks from today) was almost 10 years ago. Without selling lips service, I swear YOGA played a big part in making them stop haunting my life because I started yoga more than 9 years ago. Alhamdulillah, my hives, my allergy to shellfish and most importantly my asthma, disappeared 6 months after regular practice of yoga starting year 2000.

Some doctors say, hives or allergic reaction come and go in ones life without warnings and goodbyes. They can stay in your body for 2 years and come again 20 years later or visit you for 6 weeks and disturb you again 16 months later.

From Wikipedia, 'hives are frequently caused by allergic reactions, however there are many non-allergic causes. For example, most cases of hives lasting less than six weeks (acute urticaria) are the result of an allergic trigger. Chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than six weeks) are rarely due to an allergy. The majority of patients with chronic hives have an unknown (idiopathic) cause.'

Since the attack of the hives is very vicious this time around (they appear every night for the past six weeks and their sizes grow bigger this week in particular), I have even gone fully vegetarian for most days of the week.

In case you don't know, I refuse to wear the 'label' vegetarian
because although I gave up meat and chicken 16 months ago
but I still consume eggs, milk and certain seafood for survival.


So since shellfish, eggs and milk are now avoided altogether,
I thought I have eliminated all risk factors and potential allergy
but the hives keep appearing and even more aggresive than when I still consume eggs / milk / seafood!

So thank you yogi Azmi and yogini Lila that pointed,
that's my body's way to show that I have been under unbearable stress.

Flashes of episode of Nip/Tuck Season 1 or 2 where Julia broke out of smiliar rashes
when she was too nervous keeping the secret that Matt is not Sean's,
immediately came to me!

I am not exactly proud to have shared those unsightly pictures and evidence but I still do,
just something for me to know and to not continue living in denial
that I AM NOT STRESSED!

I still have no idea what is it in particular I am stressed about so I am in process of:

1. Eliminating my time spent on worrying things that won't get better unless big money falls from my sky tomorrow, and

2. Reducing time spent with people with really bad energy and with perpetual negative thinking (I wonder why some people hate everything in life and all the other people so much? What have the world done to you to make you this spiteful and if you are not doing the changes to better yourself, don't start trying to stop others that do! Oh yes, I might mean this bracketed line to a certain someone. I know you are reading.)

In the literally mean time,
I endure.

It might be true what they say,
'sakit itu penghapus dosa.'

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.

















Top & bottom: adidas Techfit Powerweb




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.

















Top: adidas Yatra






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.















Top: adidas Yatra
Bottom: adidas by Stella McCartney






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












Top & bottom: adidas by Stella McCartney





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!












Top & bottom: adidas Techfit Powerweb





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 You Need '27 Points' To Define Style

Tagged by Chi.

1. Job:
I am a yoga teacher. Despite not teaching 15 classes a week anymore, I'd like to think I am still a yoga teacher. I'd also like to think yoga teachers are walking examples of high prana state, they don't have to be teaching in a class to inspire. If I can quote Azmi Samdjaga, "Being a yoga teacher is the highest form of human being one could be."

So being a yoga teacher is not my job. I love and live my job.

2. Best Sartorial advice from my parents:
Mom
: Wear baju kurungs with super high heels.
As much as I love adidas Superstars and Bounce, I will never do a Sharifah Amani in Sepet.
Dad: Always always take care of your toenails,
"Kalau kuku kaki pun tak boleh jaga, macam mana kamu nak jaga laki?"
.
FYI, I take care of Supertall's toenails as well, or maybe since my favourite pedicurist takes care of mine :)

3. Style icons:
Carrie Bradshaw particularly in SATC The Movie

4. Describe your personal style:
Dailymuscle says I suffer from 'colourcititis'. I can't agree more. I feel that I have to always pair and match what top I wear with the pants or footwear or bag or headband I put on. When teaching, my tank / bra top (on days my tummy decides to behave) has to be paired with matching coloured pants, or my slippers.

On the days I don't teach, you'll always find me in either plain coloured or statement tee with a micromini in washed denim. And in either super flat pumps or super high heels.



5. I build my daily look around:
My hair do that day.
Big hair = short skirt.
Hot hair = hot pants.
Tied up hair = tie-style Bali / Thai pants.
Headband = belt.

6. Personal style quirk:
Statement t-shirts. Can't get enough of them.







































































Azmi Samdjaga
(my new bff, yes) forced me to wear these tees we found in Pacific Plaza, Singapore during my visit two weeks ago. They read,
1. "If you can take the shit, I can take the pain."
2. (front) "Wanna see my favourite yoga position?" (back) "69"
Oohhhh, tidak berani.

7. Favorite designers:
Stella McCartney for adidas. I love her cut, her colours, her mission statement and her stand against animal cruelty. Many of her bigger sized adidas gadgets are tagged with 'I am a sporty vegetarian'.


































I read somewhere that anyone who interviews Stella McCartney will be asked, "Are you vegetarian?" by her personally. And if your answer is no, she will reply with a smile, "You should, I'll tell you why." I wish I have her guts and capacity to enlighten people without offending them, one day.

I also love high-end yoga lines from Lulu Lemon and Donna Karan's Urban Zen, although their smallest sizes are still tad too big for me, and their price range is a little of out my Starving Yoga Instructor budget. And not that I have to buy any yoga / working out clothes, anyway :)

8. Most cherished item:
This adidas by Stella McCartney trenchcoat.



































It comes with attached and super chic iPod or mp3 player pocket. This coat is also eqipped with built-in Recco Avalanche Rescue Reflector that can send signals if you are trapped in snow avalanche or something like that. Not that we get snowed and not that we can wear trenchcoat here unless you are either AC Mizal or Adlin Aman Ramli as konco-konco Aznil in Cicakman.

9. Favorite item of clothing:
Comfortable sundress that I don't look pregnant in and
big aviators that I can hide my dark eye circles under




















10. I feel best wearing:
Casual Y-back singlet and cargo pants that
I can go to my yoga class to, run my errands in and have my lunch with.




















10. The first thing I look at in another Sartorialist's outfit:
Some people just don't have the look and style to carry something expensive.
They can wear the most latest and expensive LV but the LV might just look fake on them.
On the other hands, some can wear a total no-brand and make it look like a thousand bucks.

11. I always break this fashion rule:
It's not my choice to flaunt my cleavage.
Most of the time, I didn't even try :(















12. I never break this fashion rule:
Never wear fleshy top with fleshy bottom.
If your skirt is mini, cover up up top.
If your top is skimpy, wear long pants / skirts.
Most of the time, too little of everything is too much of nothing.

AND,
if I may add

For girls, if you are wearing sleeveless top or above the knee pants / skirt,
make sure you have SHAVED!

13. Never caught wearing:
Anything with VPL. I almost don't wear undies that are not G-strings.
And lucky beings will never find me I will never be caught dead with bra and undie that don't match.

14. Most underrated item in menswear/womenswear:
Hmmm, I think it's sad that most Malaysians still take their work out clothes for granted.
IMHO, because they don't work out and play sports seriously as well.

15. Dress to impress who:
My own two eyes.

16. Shine your own shoes:
I don't need to wear shoes that need shining.
I save that for my Batmobile.

17. Favorite stores:
(That I can afford lah kan? I don't see the point of claiming Bottega Venetta and Chloe when I don't own a piece of theirs and never have been in the stores myself). When I am not in adidas, I am always in a piece of Topshop. They carry UK size 6, just my size.

18. My next "must have" purchase:
More of these amazing adidas Techfit Powerweb Yoga that I wore for adidas Women Event '08 yesterday. The magical shiny 'powerweb' stripes make stretching all the easier and less painful, believe me!


18. I skimp when buying:
Apron / fisherman's pants that I rate next-to most comfortable yoga pants.
I have them in almost every colour, I keep buying them when I travel to islands and I try to get cheaper price by the next time I buy them!

19. I splurge on:
My car?
Because I think that's my literally, biggest accessory and I always leave my house in that.

20. Guilty pleasure
:
When someone says, "I hate you. Why don't I look like
that in that."

21. Cologne:
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker.
I can see and smell myself in this for years to come.





Skincare
:
The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil.
Or when Stella McCartney's CARE line reaches our shore.
Or when adidas Skincare & Body Range starts plastering me in their billboards (hint hint).

22. Most stylish city (Milan, Paris, London, New York, other):
Sadly I have only been to London and Paris, the last time I went was when I was 14 (I didn't have the priviledge and luxury to further my study abroad). I will visit New York by mid 2009 so that makes Shanghai and Singapore my style cities for now.
















23. When I was high school I wore?
Ooooh this, you don't want to know.

My high school was an all-girl boarding school in which I lived at for 5 years
(I wonder how I survived too, fret not).

For weekend outings, we had to wear STF-printed on hideous green batik.
For playing hockey, we had to pakai tudung (but most of us improvised it by covering our hair with Alien Workshop or No Fear
bandanna, HA HA HAAAA!).

Back in my boarding school years, wayyyyyyyyyyy oversized t-shirt was so in. Baju kurung with track-bottom (you know those Cheetah, Forest and Schwarzenbach berkilat with cotton lining inside), or oversized basketball t-shirt with kain biru muda baju kurung was in too. Those who were daring enough to wear those to dining hall, or ko-op, or surau, won big time brownie points. HA HA HA HA AHAAAA! Saper budak STF yang baca ni je boleh gelakkan diri sendiri sama-sama OK!

24. Sports:
I still play futsal, golf, badminton and rockclimbing.
I used to sprint (I won gold medal for 100m and 110 meter-hurdles when I was in Form 5 [STF Sportsday '99], jangan main-main!) and played hockey competitively for my school, district and uni.
I watch tennis, football and never miss watching
MHL (Malaysia Hockey League) at the stadium every year and every possible TNB & EY match for the hot guys same reason guys watch The O.C.

25. Favorite fashion magazine:
I don't read fashion magazine except those on the rack of my favourite salon or nail place, which explains my (non-exixtense) fashion sense. Although I secretly dig our own
GLAM for familiar faces and our local celebs' closets.

26. Favorite vacation spot:
Bali, to unwind. Singapore, to shop. New York, to burn my wallet and for the love of SATC.
And someone supertall suggested that we go to Maldives soon :)

27. Favorite neighbourhood restaurants:
Devi's Corner, Bangsar for breakfast with my housemates (none of us work 9 to 5 so we all go for breaakfast at 10am); Devi's Corner, Hartamas for teh tarik; Bestari, Hartamas for Indomee goreng; Aji Don Plaza Damas for their Johor food; Sri Nirwana Maju for its' vegetarian chicken and Khanna PJ for its' banana leaf rice.


Tagging Nellie, Joyce The Fairy and Evie.
