The best things are free…

I think I’ll write a happy post for a change. I’ve been really bitter with my posts lately; I need to have more positive energy these days.  I’ve been trying out Tai Chi several times since I’m back.  The thing is I am this heavy and I can hardly do much exercise (but I am advised to do more exercise, heh!) Surprisingly, it was very pleasant.  I recommend it to anyone. And best of all, it is FREE!  All you need to do is wake up early, and drag your a** to Taman Tasik Shah Alam.  Every time I go, I see new faces and some regulars.  Imagine the sifoo is old and has wrinkles all over his body, but his muscles I tell you, mcm Datuk Kame (Dragon Ball).  Don’t worry, he’s married, does not carry any turtle on his back and I’m sure he’s no pervert!

The nice thing about Tai Chi is it gradually pushes your muscle to work out.  So most likely you won’t feel tired at all, but you’re sweating.  And at the end of the exercise, you’ll feel your muscles are loosened up.  It’s a nice feeling.  I can’t really compare with other methods like yoga or pilates because I’m too cheap to pay for those classes (and more likely to lazy to commit).  My parents have been doing Tai Chi for over a year, and you can see that their muscles are getting “harder.”  Though most of the participants are the elders and housewives, I do see a bunch of youngsters.  At least for the time being, I have something to look forward to once in a while.

Sarah McLachlan is a genius.  I started listening to her when I was still in the states, and I can’t believe I fell in love with her tunes!  I know she has a new CD out recently; never got the chance to listen to it so went to look for it last weekend.  Unfortunately, it’s a The Best of CD and she only has 2 new tracks on it.  I may opt to download instead (don’t know when I’ll get to it).   But her old songs, I think I have most of them if not all.

I don’t really do wishes on my blog cause I just don’t.  But this one is just so special that I’m willing to break my own rule (like I have one in the first place.)

I just heard that my good friends Ikram and Intan just got engaged last weekend.  Finally!  Oh my God, they’ve been together for so long and I’m really happy to hear that they’re finally going to seal the deal.  Honestly, I never thought I’m gonna get hitched and knocked up before them!  But what do we know about our future, eh?  Anyway, congratulations to both of them! I can’t wait for the day!  I’m sure the rest of the CiliPadians are also waiting for the big day.  I’m really hoping that I can attend – urgh, another perk of working abroad, you’ll miss this kinda stuff.
