Waking up at 4.30am in the morning for running event has been a norm for me nowadays but yesterday I woke up early for a meaningful purpose. I was going to be a part of over 3,800 Malaysians to walk a mile for the 15th Nestlé Omega Plus Walk-A-Mile event.
Heart disease is the number one killer in Malaysia especially with all the high fat content in our food. No doubt food in Malaysia are among the best, however did you know that there is one death caused by heart disease in every 15 minutes? Many Malaysian still ignore the fact and continue to indulge in unhealthy food and carry on with their unhealthy lifestyle because sadly many still assume that heart disease only affects the elderly. Here is a wake up call for you. Research shown that Malaysians in their thirties suffers from ageing arteries similar to those in their seventies due to their lifestyles. Now it is time for you to take a step back and think about what you can do to prevent any health and heart diseases.

Spotlight. Ahhh Spotlight. The last you heard about Spotlight from me was one year ago. For those who are new to this blog, Spotlight is a well-known largest fabric, craft and home interiors super store from Australia. They are now the largest in AustralAsia. Last week I went to Spotlight “Make It Merry” workshop and had loads of fun! A lot of you were shocked that I was at a Christmas décor event as it is now only the month of August. Still another quarter to go for Christmas lol.
To be frank, I have never heard of AcroYoga before. I have only recently started a little bit of yoga as cross-training in between my runs but I sort of get the idea of what AcroYoga is based on the name. AcroYoga, as the name suggests is a combination of acrobatics and yoga. It sounds simple but once I saw photos on what it exactly is, I cannot breath.
ULTRON, one of the known sportswear brand here in Malaysia held a Facebook contest a few weeks ago for ULTRON YogaTron with Patrick and Ardiana Nolfo who are the latest ULTRON Athlete, who are also the Founders of The Acro Yoga Centre in Montreux, Switzerland. I was lucky enough to be invited personally by Joanne Kay, Founder & CEO of ULTRON to join the session. I nearly could not make it as none of my friends are into yoga whatmore AcroYoga. Just when I was about to turn down the offer, my friend Kelly from Sunshine Kelly said she is interested to go and be my partner!
