Love Unexpected…

Posted on October 21, 2011 by YogaPeace

It finally did happen. Quietly, unexpectedly…

Love.

I don’t know much about love. Since young, I only read about love from those teenage love books, Mills & Boons… and then to watching feel good romance movies from Dirty Dancing ( watched a grand total of 4-5 times I think ), Reality Bites, Titanic etc then to the current popular HK/Japanese/Korean romance serials. My absolute favorites are Long Vacation ( Japanese ) & Secret Garden ( Korean ).

Come to think of it, I gave up on watching too mushy romantic serials or listening to love songs a few years ago – I guessed simply, to me they are all distractions and will only make you have unrealistic expectations of love in real life.

Plus I am not getting younger and I often wondered if my time has passed? Being alone is not really bad, I supposed. You have absolute freedom to do whatever you like, go wherever you wanna go. I was not sure but I know I am not one to get hitched for the sake of getting hitched. EEEK! Imagine getting married to someone who you have no feelings for, not attracted to and you have to face him for the rest of your life? I have also have heard of stories about marriages gone wrong! With the husband becoming abusive or has strayed. My worst nightmare! Then I am very sure I rather be single and happy.

And yet there are times, when I do feel envious of couples – they have each other to run to when they face problems, when they want a hug, when they want to someone to snuggle with, they can build their own home. But then again there are occasions when your married friends or couple friends have problems with their married life that you are thankful that you do not have and relish the fact that you are still single.

He found me in this case (in a song he dedicated to me, his heart found me… mushy but hey I love it…;P ). Life is so unpredictable!

As he blushfully admitted, he had a crush on me for quite some time. ME? Hmmm… I am flattered… :P

( Btw, he’s my no. 1 blog fan… so I am writing this with that in mind… hee hee )

To cut the long long long story, the short gist is that he took massive action ( with major help from me of course ).

And now we are a couple… sweet!

Namaste!

New Addictions and Past Shadows

Posted on September 5, 2011 by YogaPeace

Whoa… something amazing happened to me… but first a little update on me!

Last year I did the 5km Shape run without training much. This year I finally set myself up to consistently run every week leading up to the runs I have signed up for. This year I signed up for Great Eastern Ladies Run 10km, Shape Run 5km and finally just joined the Standard Chartered Marathon 21km.

Running was never a favourite activity for me. Hated the dreaded 2.4km in school. Every time I ran, it was pure torture… counting every torturous lamp post I passed, trying to motivate myself that the lamp post after the next one, I could stop and walk. First, I was not exactly light in my school days, plus I was not the kind of active kid. I was more of a nerdy bookworm and love all things indoor like arts & crafts. ( I was pretty good at drawing, always the top 2 in arts class – but this was not nurtured by parents as arts and such are usually considered not practical )

However, recently running has become quite a weekly activity that I do to train for the runs. In leading up to the Great Eastern Ladies run, I ran at least 3 times every week. It started slow with just 1-2km around the neighbourhood. Now it has me hooked! Now I run whenever I have time to do so and love running! Sometimes I wondered when can I squeeze in more time to run!

Things change. People change.

But do they change for the better?

I did.

Btw, I broke my own running record : 31mins for 5km run!!! Feel quite darn proud of myself I must say!

:) Namaste!!!

New WordPress Theme For My Beloved Yoga Blog

Posted on February 26, 2011 by YogaPeace

Yes, after months of inactivity, I think it is high time I have another revamp.

And it is high time I gotten back into my yoga groove… missing yoga… I love the joyful feeling and peaceful warmth within after every session of yoga…. a serene sense of content and satisfaction. Plus it really gives me a lot of confidence then… now that I have stopped for more than 1 year, I lost the self confidence some what and the strength mentally and physically.

Expect more changes to the blog…. experimenting with this cool theme called Weaver!

Meanwhile, time for some headstand action… ciao!

Yummy Cakes! I Simply Love Food!

Posted on February 12, 2011 by YogaPeace

When my birthday came round, me and my three best pals always seek out good food and places to hang. In Singapore, there are very few places where you and your friends can hang around and gossip the entire day. Most lunch places or buffet places start from 11.30am onwards. Usually this is hardly enough time for us gals to eat, laugh and gossip.

Hence this year starting with my birthday, we tried to start as early as possible. Meaning to start the outing as early as possible. And we did by starting the day early at one of the few places that offer buffet in the morning – Red Star Restaurant. We figured we’ll have a nice dim sum buffet breakfast and the continue to another location for coffee/tea. So we planned perhaps to eat from 9.30am to perhaps 12pm. But guess what? We ended up hanging around there until 2pm!!! We were pretty impressed with ourselves indeed… *smug*

Then we went for this nice little cafe, Flor at Duxton Hill. It is a japanese confectionery bakery that serve yummy light and yet delicious cakes. We were spoilt for choices and it was really hard to settle for just 4!

Strawberry Soufflé

Mont Blanc

This is my absolute favorite, Waguri Millefeuille, nice flaky puff pastry with a not-so-sweet French chestnut cream – creamy and deli-ccccious:

Earl Grey Chocolat

Definitely heading back there for more yummy treats! Now I am aiming for their Tofu Chiffon!

2011 – New Beginning!!!

Posted on January 27, 2011 by YogaPeace

2011 is here… Time is speeding along without me knowing…

And I am shocked by the number of comments in my blog! Oops… I really did not check back here for the longest time… and even one from someone from the Strait Times… hmmm how did she find me?

I am not in the habit of making new resolutions or such but I do wish to make some public goals so that I am held accountable for them as I work my way towards them. Life really is too short and precious waste!

After some experiences that I encountered and sharing with alot of folks, I really really realised that I am truly blessed – Without A Doubt!

But first I need to clear some backdated comments & much much plugins to update! :P

Later…;)
