Multi generation Zumba group

I went for breakfast with the zumba group led by Eric.He draws a multiracial,multi generation group of both genders as he is a male zumba instructor.Apart from zumba music he plays K pop music n hip hop music that the youths like.the younger crowd is getting some fun from his workout.but i had migrane because the weather was so hot.

Self indulgence

Be good to yourself because life is short.What will happen tomorrow ,you never know.You may just get struck by cancer or get maimed in a car accident or fly in an aeroplane that crashes. So YOLO so appreciate every minutes that Life has given you.No second try or repeat performance. So this coming birthday im gonna do something completely different.gonna indulge in a staycation in KL for one night.find a budget hotel with infinity pool and night view of KL skyline,a dip in a soothing jacuzzi and a thai massage.Dinner at a nice cafe and go to the jazz bar at Chinatown Jao Tim with Art Deco design and swing dances which my niece is their brand ambassador. so i aim to drop 2 kg by my birthday rendevous. i saw my neighbours red bikini which she bought in H and M.Saw a sale at H and M yesterday and fell in love at first sight with this red bikini on sale.so stylish and fitting for my birthday in an infinity pool and jacuzzi and the top can be matched with a flair skirt for jao tim jazz bar at.night.its my kinda music n samba,rumba and swing on.Now have workouts more to get in shape for pool and dance. i love flea markets vintage clothes,cars like MG ,

the Beetle,retro music like jazz and blues,retro dances and Art deco and bohemian interior design.How many are as lucky as me when i visited Shanghai in late 1980s i purposely visited Fairmont peace hotel on the Bund to enjoy the peace jazz band n shidai qu..oldies is goodie

NATO

As Asian n Asean chair this year.Malaysia should say No to Asian Takeover Organisation.Asian nation stays a peaceful entity and reject being the battleground for proxy war fare between the superpowers.Bad enough that 2 World Wars were started in Europe so we Asians say No to Asia Troublemaker Organisation.Once a war starts,the conflict escalates to loss of lives,property and economic collapse . We refuse to be the collateral damage in the clash of the superpowers. Asean should set up a conflict resolution centre to tesolve border disputes,refugee problems and transborder crimes of scam centres and maritime claims in south china sea.Why havent they form an Asean navy force with contributions from all member states to combat maritime piracy along the straits of Malacca that has risen sharply due to poor economic condition in certain nations and slack patrol by coast guards. this waterway is an important global supply chain route between East n Middle East n the West.It has to be secure for shipping.

Home cooked meals are healthier

Due to heatwave,I cooked osmanthus jelly and agar agar pandan lumut santan.I didnt use green colouring but real pandan leaves to extract the juice,put in coconut milk,agar,stevia sugar,grapes and beaten eggs.its a recipe i learnt in high school cooking class.so refreshing on a hot day to eat fruit jelly. Before work,i cooked and ate lunch .i make one ricepot cabbage braised rice with dried shrimps,liver chinese sausages lap cheong,thai fish cakes,pop corn chicken meat balls n lots of shredded cabbage.its a fast cooking recipe.

Oldie wanna be a Goldie

i dont wanna be a silver hair geezer in a rocking chair.I wanna rock it like my neighbour downstairs. A mother of 3 adult sons one working,one pursuing PHD overseas and one a medical student in East Msia and a still busy working husband,she devotes her time to self care and workouts.As the senior citizens at Lao Shi Birthday party said we sacrificed half our lives ,time and energy bringing up our family so at this latter age its time to live it up and do the things we love like dancing,singing and travelling.We wanna take the time to stop and smell the roses before we are bedridden and need a walking frame to walk. This neighbour Jun nicknamed red hot mama .i used to admire her discipline to workout every single day for 2 hours whether dancing with a hula hoop,aerobics,use light weights and ab roller outdoors.Sometimes she uses her racing bike to ride around the apartment complex and sometimes she swims.She has a taunt n lithe.body unlike many senior citizens.She wears sports dark glasses,sports bra and yoga tights n sports shoes.wow she is a ted hot mama. Today i chatted with her and how she handles the empty nest syndrome by exercising to boost her feel good mood.Her hubby and sons encourage her workouts.by buying the sports equipment for her like ab roller.She does planking longer than me.look at her sexy figure in a red hot bikini would put many younger women to shame.She has her fans as she livestreams her workout.i admire her rock hard abs and solid muscles.hell im looking for her red hot bikini to buy.Why do swimsuits in Malaysia look so dull and boring so l need to buy online from e commerce.i dont want to look like the China dama in a facekini and long sleeved top and long pants.i would look like a zongzi all wrapped up I wanna look like taiwan obasan Chen mei feng,hong kong actress Cherie Chung or British tv host Carol Vorderman.Cant believe they are all over 60s.they drink from the fountain of youth and workout hard.

Food waste

The price of meat is expensive so that I dont waste food.The french fish stew i recycled into another meal by adding macaroni n canned sardines. So im furious when my food budget is spoiled when i ran out of meat by end pf month.im supposed to have 2 packet of fresh chicken chopped into chunks this week but.the damn cat ate one packet of raw chicken which i threw away and the other discounted chicken from Giant mart was rotten so i threw it away. Now ive to eat my emergency frozen processed chicken pop corn balls and canned tuna and sardines.For rm 16,i can cook spaghetti with chicken balls,popcorn chicken with salted egg yolk sauce and sweet and sour chicken balls.The. tuna i mash to make potato bergedil or potato cutlets indian style and sardines i cook sambal sardines. im so disappointed that by the end of this month,i cant afford healthy fruits like oranges,apples,pears,blueberries,lychees,rainbow mango and kenya avocado.Kenya avocado cost rm 3 each but a red dragonfruit cost rm 6 and the chempedak rm 20 and a durian rm 90 each.How to eat local fruits which cannot meet local demand and price will hike more when imported fruit becomes too expensive.A pink guava cost rm 4.50 each and the durian belanda cost over rm30 each.Come Chinese New Year mandarin oranges will be so costly and during puasa month the kurma will skyrocket.Forget about Alphonso mango that will be so unaffordable. Cari Makan pun semakin susah dan jika harga salmon naik,saya terpaksa kongsi makanan kucing saya seperti salmon dan kod treats.Kawan tua saya yang makan ubat traditional kerana kurang kesan sampingan berbanding pil perubatan moden kata is khuatir kesihatannya terjejas tanpa ubat traditional.Apa lagi dia pergi urut untuk melegakan sakit tulang belakang dan akupuntur untuk merawat frozen shouldernya. M

edical tourism akan terjejas sebab pesakit boleh pergi kehospital swasta di negara Thai bila yuran hospital di Malaysia naik dengan tinggi.Urutan Thai dan essential oil massage lebih murah di Negeri Thai dan wellness industri nya lebih berkesan.

Celebrate Zumba teachers birthday

We had a crazy time celebrate teachers birthday with good food and lots of dancing.the theme was traditional Asian costumes from Nyonya lacy kebaya,indian Sari,cheongsam,kimono to vietnamese ao dai and thai national costume.As usual crazy noisemaker,loud music and singing were part of the fun.even did crazy games like feed the apes when blindfolded.this group of senior citizen and middle aged gals sure know how to throw a party.

Sunday Zumba at taman aman

its good to see other races joining the zumba workout especially young people as its mostly senior citizens who are doing zumba.Music n movement makes it enjoyable to exercise so that when we enjoy a sport we keep on doing it. Change is self driven.like going on a diet and losing weight,consistency and discipline n self motivation is important.Dont expect instant results.it took me 3 years of hard work to build.up muscles and im still a work in progress.like when i told one of my students with low English proficiency when he started.one must have discipline n be consistent.from a fail of 42 marks at the start by the end of 3 months he got 80 marks but the next stage,he slacked n skipped classes n homework saw his marks drop to 48 but this term he woke up and worked hard and is now scoring above 80.nothing comes easy and sikit sik8t lama lama akan jadi bukit Untuk .hilang setiap kg berat badan ikut prinsip sama.

Weekend special food

for lunch i cooked spaghetti in creamy herb n cheese sauce with salmon belly,chicken hot dog and shrimp n mixed vege.added 3 cheese mix of parmesan,cheddar n mozarella.so yummy dinner i cooked ayam masak merah or red spicy tomato chicken and potato cooked in taucheo n oyster sauce.I was aghast the discounted chicken at half price i got from Giant mart was spoilt rotten.it was wrapped in plastic n when i opened it it smelled awful n had discoloured to yellow.im so angry .Instead of throwing away rotten perishables,Giant sells it at half price.i threw it into the thrash bin as i didnt want to get food poisoning.I went to Stargrocer where i could choose the frozen chicken thighs from the counter so i could smell it was fresh n.not slimy.Now im wary of buying prepacked chicken in cling wrap as they may not be fresh.I will go back to wet market or buy frozen chicken that is not prepacked with clingwrap.
