Ramadhan is back

Alhamdulillah...we are blessed with another round of Ramadhan

On the other hand, I think fasting month in Malaysia is more of a food fest month. So much so that I didn't cook much come ramadhan, prefering to buy. Come to think of if, the whole family seemed to eat more during this month compared to other time. Isn't it ironic? Ramadhan should be the time when we let our body detox itself, instead of dumping multiple amount of toxic on it. And solat terawih? Other than collecting extra good deeds during this holy month, solat terawih is also a great workout. Forever missing out on yoga class? This solat is all about yoga movement and more, that is if you take the effort to do it properly. Not the popular rushed version, but a proper one, with all the surah being read with the correct breathing. Do it and you get the reward physically and spiritually.
Now, who volunteer to babysit my boys so that I could go to mosque?

And...who could teach me how to teach Amri to fast? Bribe/reward does not work. Peer pressure does not work. Long story about how Allah love kids who fast does not work either. So how?

Amri was born on 1st Ramadhan, 6 years ago. Happy Birthday to Amri!!!

Merry-Go-Round

The Hatha Yoga class at Seribadan was such a big hit that I finally decided to add one more yoga class, this time for morning slot. I hired a new instructor. Since she's coming all the way from another fitness centre at subang Jaya, i went to great length explaining the road to Bukit Jelutong, right down to the number of traffic light, junctions, etc. Only to find out that she was from TTDI Jaya afterall. To be exact, her house is behind my next door neighbour.

Great.

She'll be teaching power yoga from now on
