WinnieKepala

I signed up for my gym membership at True Fitness months ago but shamefully admittedly I have only been there once, a few days after signup to join one Dance Mania class.

As I had stopped dancing professionally over 5 years ago, my weight has been fluctuating. I ballooned to a chubby Winnie and accepted my size. Recently, I have dropped a lot of weight and would very much like to maintain this. As much as I enjoy the occasional dancing in a sweaty human filled clubbing at Mambo Jumbo @ Velvet Underground, I can't stand the bad ventilation in the clubs where second hand smoke is unbearable and makes my eyes tear, even as a smoker myself.

I am on track to hopefully quit smoking soon and having attempted it before, I tend to binge on unhealthy snacks when I crave for a cigarette.

In my effort to start being more healthy, finally care for my sporadic back aches and start making use of the gym membership I have been paying monthly for, I decided to go for my first Bikram Yoga class. Brought in the country by True Fitness, I have heard alot about this Hot Yoga class.

Read about Bikram Hot Yoga on Wikipedia here.

Consisting of mainly 26 yoga poses performed in tremendous heat of 41 degrees Celcius added with some additional humidity in the room, this form of yoga is meant to improve your blood circulation to help you relax and work your muscles and release toxins through the extreme perspiration.

Many of us use Google Search. Many of us are familiar with Google Search's assistance. When you type something on the search bar, the system automatically helps you with possible search queries through a drop-down menu with suggestions for you.

There are already many funny screen captures out there. I was searching for something and I was typing "How" and these series of search suggestions crops up.

The sad thing is the top search suggestion is "How to make love" with over 386 million results!!! How clueless are people out there that they have to search online for help on this? If they're looking on ways to spice things up in bed, then I would imagine that the search should not be "How to make love", no?

There's also the bit on "How to kiss"? Who's searching for these online? No, no. More importantly, what does the millions of results say? Who's writing about this? Should I be writing a blog entry on my "expert" tips on these topics myself? God, no! I can't imagine.

While the other search suggestions are rather valid, like "How to download youtube video" or "How to lose weight" or "How to create a website" but "How to hack facebook" with 32.9 million hits? Come on, people What kind of society have we turned into?

I saw a preview of this movie on TV and don't know if it was aired in the cinemas here. I knew that this was a book by one of my favourite authors, Roald Dahl. I love Roald Dahl's books - be it children's book or his short stories for adults. I love his style of writing and his sense of eccentricity.

Fantastic Mr Fox is one of the many great works of Roald Dahl that came to life in this stop-motion animated movie. Directed by Wes Anderson, it starred the voice of George Clooney as Mr Fox and Meryl Streep as Mrs Fox.

The other famous celebrities that gave their voices to these characters include Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe and many others.

Honestly, I have never read the book yet, so unsure hw much of that was adapted into this movie. However, I can tell you that this movie is indeed "FANTASTIC".

Chinese New Year is still on-going. Starting on 14th Feb (same day as Valentine's Day), it lasts 15 days until end of the month of February.

This is one of the many celebrations that I look forward to. It used to be because of Ang Pows. Now that I am giving away Ang Pows instead, I look forward to it for food and many other ways of meeting my family and friends on this great celebration.

Also, everything is just RED RED RED everywhere. It's my favourite colour - so what's not to love about Chiese New Year?

The HEAD's would like to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!!!

How was my celebrations?

The first few days of CNY with family

This year, celebration with the family was great as always. We had our CNY Eve Reunion Dinner followed by family visits on my dad's side of the family and my mom's side as well.
