Ninie Ahmad: Off her yoga mat.

I can’t say how confident flattered I am when so many Nuffnang bloggers believe that I am going to win adidas OLE KO Challenge this Friday!

The adidas Pure Game Ole K.O. Challenge is organised by StarAsia Malaysia (sole distributor for adidas Active Body Care range) and is set to fan the football fever by offering fantastic prizes to winners of the one-of-a-kind challenge that will combine endurance and skills.

Contestants will play one-on-one street football in a spherical steel cage 20 ft in diameter and 18 ft high, and compete to score as many points as possible within a set time frame by kicking the ball through their opponent’s legs – a move also known as “ole”.

Highlight of the event would be Malaysian top bloggers from Project Alpha Season 1 & Season 2 competing against each other.

.   .   .   .   .   .

Of course pretty (scary looking) bloggers like Kenny Sia, Shaolin Tiger and Huai Bin get nominated as well.

Little did many of you (that did not vote for me ) know that -

I actually DO play futsal.

And I used to be my team’s captain (or am I still?) when we used to play on a weekly basis if not – competitively.

Those who put your money on Kenny, scared already or not?

.   .   .   .   .   .

That is until (almost) all of my former teammates that you can see in these photos below, either busy preparing themselves to get married or happily gotten married and have babies!

Yes, yes it is definitely easier to put the blame on them – they found their happy ending already.

.   .   .   .   .   .

So for single girls alike (and boys who want to see some yoga instructor with flashy adidas futsal boots running around and dribbling about putting giants like Shaolin Tiger to shame),

do put on your TEAM NINIE jersey (or any baby blue top will do!) and support me here:

Date: Friday, 21 May 2010

Time: 7.30pm

Location: Centre Court, Mid Valley Megamall

and if I do win (help me repeat the affirmation for this post!), I might just throw a yoga class at the end of the tournament! It would be exciting to see all the ‘blogger boys’ get pretzeled in the middle of Megamall, wouldn’t it?

Special thanks to adidas Action3 range for keeping me smelling fresh even after futsal training!

Love and support for girls in boots & can kick balls this Friday!

Exactly one year ago, yogis all around the world mourned the passing of Ashtanga yoga patriarch Sri K. Pattabhi Jois upon hearing the news that Guruji left his body and a sea of magical practice legacy to mankind.

The songs used for this out-of-the-world inspiring Third Series practice YouTube from Santina (a renowned Fourth Series practitioner of Ashtanga Yoga),

..speak for me and I am sure thousand other Ashtangis to remember our Guruji.

I was never really a fan of Evanescence but after discovering this YouTube last year, ‘Bring Me To Life‘ was instantly added to my Ashtanga Yoga practice playlist and everytime ‘My Immortal‘ airs – I take a moment of silence in remembrance of Guruji..

In loving memory, lotus feet and profound gratitude to

Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois (July 26, 1915 – May 18, 2009)

Rest In Peace.

I may not know many other things about the fourth featured Project Alpha Season 2 blogger – KY

but I do know that he eats just about everything that I don’t!

Just check out Episode 28 / 49 of Project Alpha Season 2

where you’d pretty much get an idea of why I am NOT always invited to KY, Cheesie and Shaolin Tiger’s weekly feast!

.   .   .   .   .   .

As for Gareth Davis or infamously known as Shaolin Tiger – I was speechless when first introduced to him. He is SuperSuperTall (lighten up)!

Standing (freakishly) tall at 6 feet 5, I witnessed heard he broke this white square frame during our photoshoot together. Just compare our size ratio in between these two photos, M A D N E S S!

So when Four Feet Nine Audrey and Five Feet Even Ninie held captive of this giant during Project Alpha Season 2 Bloggers’ Launch last month, we couldn’t resist to not compare who’s the tallest among us all!

I took my heels off, Aud didn’t!

To everyone’s surprise, FourFeetNine IS (the tallest)!

SuperSuperTall and I also exchange tweet regularly as we share the same good taste in driving the same mean machine (also sharing the same complications and frustation on how expensive it is to maintain our Batmobiles).

I could use all his Project Airtrek findings and his mechanic too!

Batmobile photos from Shaolin Tiger

Although he and his wheels might appear fierce to many, he almost got me (OK lah, he did get me) tear-eyed upon watching Project Alpha Season 2 Episode 29 / 49

where he confessed that his girlfriend for five-years is “the one”.

I defend my statement on Twitter yesterday that THAT is the sweetest if not most romantic thing a man could do – to proudly pronounce your love to someone for the whole world to hear.

No game, no shame, just plain sincere and romantic.

Local men – LEARN!

Project Alpha Season 2 can be viewed at my sidebar and will also be aired on Hitz TV (ASTRO Ch705) starting this Sunday, May 23rd 10:00 till 10.30pm and repeats are on

To the next blogger on Project Alpha Season 2 queue (I heard she’s a yoga instructor ) – eat, love and drive safe!
