			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the first season of <a href="http://projectalpha.com.my" target="_blank"><strong>Project Alpha</strong></a> was in the making, I came to know about it from reading the featured bloggers&#8217; blogs and I said to myself  <em>&#8220;Heh, I am sooooo not one of Malaysia&#8217;s top bloggers <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">anymore</span>.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>My infamous blog before this, <strong><a href="http://theyogainstructordiaries.blogspot.com" target="_blank">The Yoga Instructor Diaries</a></strong> gained quite a number of daily visitors <em>back then</em> especially during the yoga fatwa fiasco and I cashed in lotsa money from high traffic &amp; advertorials from <strong><a href="http://nuffnang.com.my" target="_blank">Nuffnang</a></strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1217" src="http://ninieahmad.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/kenny-sia.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">Not this much money though.</span></p>
<p>So when Nuffnang&#8217;s <strong>David Wong</strong> broke the news<em> &#8220;Ninie, how would you like to be one of the bloggers for Project Alpha Season 2?&#8221;</em>, I went, <em>&#8220;Eh, do I even have anyone reading my new blog at all?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Sweet David replied, <em>&#8220;Of course, we shortlist only our highest rated bloggers for Project Alpha, you know!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>ME? In the same league with <strong><a href="http://kennysia.com" target="_blank">Kenny Sia</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://cheeserland.com" target="_blank">Cheesie</a></strong>? And <strong><a href="http://shaolintiger.com" target="_blank">Shaolin Tiger</a></strong>? And <strong><a href="http://kyspeaks.com" target="_blank">KY Speaks</a></strong>? And <strong><a href="http://redmummy.com" target="_blank">Red Mummy</a></strong>? And <strong><a href="http://xiaxue.blogspot.com" target="_blank">XIAXUE</a></strong>?</p>
<h1 style="padding-left: 60px;">Yoga-ta be kidding me!</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;">.   .   .   .   .   .</p>
<p>So if you asked me last year, does Ninie Ahmad prefer to be known as <strong>The Blogger Who Teaches Yoga</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">or</span> <strong>The Yoga Instructor That Blogs</strong>,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">I am positive I would have answered the latter (with a smirk).</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/im1azqHJM4Y&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/im1azqHJM4Y&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">&#8220;<em>I&#8217;m still, I&#8217;m still Ninie from the blog.. Used to have a little now I have a lot</em> (visitors, thank you ALL OF YOU!)&#8221;</span></p>
<p>But if you ask me again now &#8211; after the whole <strong><a href="http://projectalpha.com.my" target="_blank">Project Alpha</a></strong> experience, I have to say I <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">really don&#8217;t mind</span> am honoured being known as a (known?) blogger.</p>
<p>I might be teaching yoga to 3 or 30 students in one yoga class, but I am pleased to know that &#8211; I might be <em>teaching yoga</em> to 300 if not 3000 (on really good days <img src='http://ninieahmad.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ) through this cyberspace.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1218" src="http://ninieahmad.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/MG_9783-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="327" /></p>
