The Day A Yoga Instructor Can Make A Simple Supper Super Complicated

Dear Diary,










"I'm a vegetarian not because I love animals,
it is because I hate plants!"
~E. Whitney Brown




Post-futsal yesterday (after 6-months!), my Srikandi 95-99 team
headed to our usual hang-out place across the street at Jalan 223
when I was caught ordering,

TYI: Mamak, char kuey teow satu!
Mamak: Ok.

TYI: Sekejap, tak mau telur tau!
Mamak: Ok.

TYI: Tak mau ayam, tak mau daging jugak.

Mamak
: Ok. Kerang mau?
TYI: Kerang pun tak mau.

Mamak: Habis sayur saja?
TYI: Ye, sayur saja.

Mamak: OK!
TYI: Eh, tapi taugeh pun tak mau!

Mamak: *WTF face*


As my girls expected and bet their asses off, my supper arrived
- TAK SEDAP
- dan ada taugeh.

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!

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 Ain't No Curry Bradshaw Without My Curry, Ain't 'Kelakar' Without My Yoga

Dear Diary,

And so we drove to Pontian for a day trip yesterday
greeted by 'Selamat datang ke Pontian: Penghujung Benua Asia'
(Welcome to Pontian: the end of Asia continent land)
for my dad's shop's open house which had almost if not more than 1,000 guests.

I know.
And it's not even his eldest daughter's wedding yet.

This is the infamous burasak, lepat lueh and ketupat in between.


























This is Ammar, my youngest and second most good-looking in the family :P.
After Baby. Uhuk..





















This is my youngest sister, Baby with my lecturer / writer cousin and his newly-pregnant wife.
They get mistaken for 'abang dan adik' (brother and sister) at times.
On the other hand, I love claiming that Baby is my daughter, all the time.





















This is Baby and I.
I was in my mom's baju kebaya as I didn't know our theme colour was turqoise
so I brought a maroon songket kebaya from KL.
Although, that maroon songket kebaya is my mom's too.
Heh heh.





















Supertall and I.
My mom snapped this picture.




















Supertall and I. Again.
But Baby shot this.
Tak nampak hape.

















And I shot this.
My 'kesayangan's (loves of my life).
I'd kill FOR them and would kill to have 2 inches of his height
and half the depth of her 'lesung-pipit' (smiling dimples).


























Short entry.
I am tired from (co-) driving. And hungry.
Most of the good banana leaf rice places are on holiday today.

Emmm, makan burasak dengan kari boleh tak?
Tapau Nirwana Maju's vegetarian chicken for lunch esok,
makan dengan burasak cicah kari, best jugak ni
('burasak' eaten dipped in curry gravy would fill my stomach happy).

Till I'm fed with my next curry..

The Day We Eat Like We Haven't Eaten For A Month, At All!

Duhai Diari,

Niat di hati nak update dan muat turun upload (eh, kalau download = muat turun, upload = ?)
gambar F1 di Singapura, tapi cik abang Supertall saya tak jumpa-jumpa kabel (?) Nikon D200nya.

Maka saya pun layan lah tag raya ini walaupun saya tidak ditag sesiapa.
Bak kata Fara Fauzana yang saudara-mara saya kata muka macam saya,
(mana ada! Saya rasa, saya lebih comel. Perasan gila, kan? Takpe, blog saya)
"Layannnnn.."


Berapa pasang baju raya anda tahun ini dan kaler apakah?
Tahun ni, takde (duit nak beli) baju raya. Biasanya tahun saya jadi pengapit pengantin, memang tak buat baju raya. Sebab kedua utama, saya masih seorang starving yoga instructor, maka duit setengah ribu yang biasa buat baju raya, pada saya lagi berbaloi buat duit raya untuk adik-adik dan anak-anak sepupu.

Tapi setiap tahun, famili saya memang akan bergambar raya sekeluarga di kedai gambar di kampung. Kami semua pakai baju warna turqoise. Sebab saya takde duit nak beli baju raya dan baju kebaya kaler turqoiose saya sudah masuk gambar famili raya beberapa tahun yang lepas, maka saya pinjam dan pakai baju emak saya. nasib baik kami dan dua orang adik perempuan lain sama saiz. Saya sangat tabik dengan emak saya, anak TUJUH tapi badan kalah saya yang si yoga instructor ini.


Apakah makanan raya tradisional kegemaran anda?
Disebabkan bapa saya orang Bugis tulen (atuk saya iaitu bapak kepada bapak saya, lagi banyak cakap bahasa Bugis dari cakap bahasa Melayu) dan saya cucu sulung belah bapa, saya memang lebih berat ke belah Bugis walaupun emak saya tulen Jawa. Hari raya pertama setiap tahun memang dua kereta kami beraya di perkampungan Bugis bapa saya di Pontian, Johor. Siap ada satu-satunya Muzium Bugis di Malaysia di kampung bapak saya tau, jangan main-main!















Sorry lah, gambar macam tak relevan dengan raya langsung!
Tapi diambil di Singapura, tiga malam sebelum raya, aci lah kan?
Di Stesen MRT Bugis yang mahal tu!




Makanya, juadah tradisional kami orang Bugis adalah burasak, bukan ketupat. Burasak, untuk mereka yang belum pernah makan adalah beras yang direndam dalam daun yang saya tak ingat nama dia. Tapi bila dah siap direbus selama 36 8 hingga 12 jam (terima kasih kepada Kay), warna beras tu jadi hijau pandan di luar tapi putih dan lagi lembut dari ketupat dan rupa dia ada macam lepat pisang.

Kesimpulannya, PPSYH (Pada Pendapat Saya Yang Hina)
burasak jauh lebih sedap daripada ketupat mahupun lepat pisang
yang memang kegemaran saya.

Burasak TIDAK dimakan dengan rendang atau ayam masak merah atau lodeh. Burasak afdal dan bertambah keenakkannya bila dimakan dengan sambal ikan parang dan serunding kelapa. Jangan cuba meminta lodeh atau sambal kacang di rumah orang Bugis, nanti kena pancung! Tapi kalau beraya atau ke rumah terbuka rumah (ibu bapa) saya, jangan risau. Disebabkan bapak saya Bugis, emak saya Jawa dan saya perasan Hispanic (hu huu..), maka rumah terbuka kami ADA KESEMUANYA! Selain ketupat, burasak dan segala lawannya, emak saya yang memang pakar memasak juga memang hebat memasak soto, laksa Johor dan signature minestrone spaghettinya.

Kawan-kawan dan saudara-mara yang ada nombornya di telefon saya,
tunggu-tunggulah SMS jemputan majlis perkahwinan rumah terbuka kami tahun ini, ya?

Lupa pulak nak cerita, memandangkan tahun ini tahun pertama saya beraya sebagai seorang vegetarian, maka kalau bertandang ke rumah sanak saudara, saya cuma akan menjamah ketupat atau burasak kosong, paling-paling pun dengan sedikit kuah lodeh atau sambal kacang. Kalau nampak ada serunding, terpaksa bertanya dulu, "Mak Nah, ni serunding daging ke kelapa?". Sedikit pun tak menyesal atau mengidam makan ayam masak merah atau daging rendang, cuma kadang-kadang sedikit trerkesal sebab selalunya tak kenyang. Maka, memang saya standby sesisir pisang (penjodoh bilangan tepat, tak tahan! Masih terkesan jadik cikgu tuisyen BM masa adik UPSR bulan lepas) dalam kereta. Nasib baik bawak kereta sendiri balik beraya tahun ni.


Apakah biskut raya kegemaran anda?
Maaflah, saya memang tak pernah suka apa jenis kuih raya pun :(
kalau kena paksa sekali, seratus kali pun memang saya tak akan makan.


Berapa banyak duit raya anda dapat dan dibelanja untuk bagi kepada budak-budak?
Konfemmmmm saya tak dapat duit raya singget pun,
sebab sedara mara ingat saya kaya dan dah berjaya.
Diorang tak tahu Yoga Zone (cuba klik) dah bankrup
dan masih hutang gaji saya hampir dua puluh ribuuuuuuuuuu.

Eh, tapi Supertall yang super mulia hati sebenarnya bagi saya duit raya,
berapa jumlahnya tak payahlah saya kongsi kat sini.
Nanti semua orang nak jadi awek Supertall raya tahun depan.

Dengan duit raya yang Supertall bagi,
dapatlah saya buat duit minyak dan tol balik kampung (tsk tsk, sedih lagi tak kelakar kan?)
dan bakinya buat duit raya untuk adik-adik saya:
Yang berumur 13 tahun ke atas, dapat sekeping RM100 seorang.
Yang 12 tahun di bawah, dapat sekeping RM50 seorang
(adik Supertall termasuk sekali, chehh.. perasan macam dah jadi adik tu, hu huu..),
tapi masalahnya, saya ada ENAM orang adik, OK!

Anak-anak sepupu yang sempat saya jumpa dan salam tangan, dapatlah RM10 seorang.

Tapi boleh haru jugak tu, FIRST COUSINS saya belah mak campur bapak lebih 150 orang tau! Nasib baik saya buat syarat, ANAK SEPUPU saja yang dapat. Tu pun kalau nak kira, berpuluh jugak anak saudara sepupu saya. Tapi takpe, alhamdulillah semua sangat comel dan sihat belaka.


Apakah aktiviti malam raya korang?
What do you mean, 'korang'?
Ada nampak kita orang buat apa-apa kat mana-mana ke?
Cheh, terasa pedas sendiri. He hee..

Malam raya, sebelum Supertall dan saya memandu ke kampung ibu bapa masing-masing,
(tak paham aku, ada jugak yang busuk hati gila kata aku anak durhaka masa aku kata aku lagi excited nak pergi F1 Singapore dari balik kampung mak bapak aku. KAMPUNG mak bapak aku kat Johor, RUMAH mak bapak aku kat Bangsar. Aku balik RUMAH MAK BAPAK AKU tiga empat kali seminggu, woi! Jangan main syak wasangka ingat aku lupa kampung halaman. Kat Johor tu pun, atuk nenek belah mak aku dua-dua dah meninggal, memang takde sedara-mara berkumpul satu rumah pagi raya lagi dah..)
Supertall sibuk membantu saya unpack barang-barang dan kotak-kotak dari rumah lama saya di Bukit Bandaraya ke apartment baru di Damansara Perdana. Lepas Supertall bayar zakat fitrah di Masjid Saidina Abu Bakar, Bangsar betul-tul belakang RUMAH MAK BAPAK SAYA, kami pun memandu balik ke KAMPUNG MAK BAPAK masing-masing, saya ke Pontian, Supertall ke Kuantan.


Siapa nak ditag?
Siapa-siapa yang takde idea dan masih dalam mood raya.

Bye, saya nak pergi main futsal
dengan kawan-kawan STF
setelah dua bulan tak main ni!

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.
