Each of them told me they have a secret crush over Ninie Ahmad.

Azwan says I look very much like his former yet biggest celebrity crush, Ziana Zain so he loves me no matter what.

Well, it’s not the first time I was told so

And Klubbkidd (aka Joe Lee) said since he’ll never be married to Xiaxue’s husband a girl, I can be his wife for a day during the Project Alpha Bloggers’ Launch.

Plus, he did Partner Yoga in public with me too just to know what it feels like having a girl on top of him

For avid followers who are already having Project Alpha Season 2 withdrawal symptom, I just found out today that there is a bonus episode mainly featuring adidas OLE KO Challenge I bragged on how confident I was on winning.

To find out who really won, yoga-ta just watch this for I’m not telling (since they DIDN’T tell me Michael ‘The Director’ Lim was gonna play and played damn well too!)

I can never thank Project Alpha sponsors enough,

for making it all happen to us (allegedly) Malaysia’s top bloggers.

.   .   .   .   .   .

I vouch for Joyce Wong, Hanis Zalikha and Proudduck for Project Alpha Season 3!

My infamous blog before this, The Yoga Instructor Diaries gained quite a number of daily visitors back then especially during the yoga fatwa fiasco and I cashed in lotsa money from high traffic & advertorials from Nuffnang.

Not this much money though.

So when Nuffnang’s David Wong broke the news “Ninie, how would you like to be one of the bloggers for Project Alpha Season 2?”, I went, “Eh, do I even have anyone reading my new blog at all?”

Sweet David replied, “Of course, we shortlist only our highest rated bloggers for Project Alpha, you know!”

ME? In the same league with Kenny Sia and Cheesie? And Shaolin Tiger? And KY Speaks? And Red Mummy? And XIAXUE?

Yoga-ta be kidding me!

.   .   .   .   .   .

So if you asked me last year, does Ninie Ahmad prefer to be known as The Blogger Who Teaches Yoga or The Yoga Instructor That Blogs,

I am positive I would have answered the latter (with a smirk).

“I’m still, I’m still Ninie from the blog.. Used to have a little now I have a lot (visitors, thank you ALL OF YOU!)”

But if you ask me again now – after the whole Project Alpha experience, I have to say I really don’t mind am honoured being known as a (known?) blogger.

I might be teaching yoga to 3 or 30 students in one yoga class, but I am pleased to know that – I might be teaching yoga to 300 if not 3000 (on really good days ) through this cyberspace.

My endless gratitude to sponsors of Project Alpha

for the experience of a lifetime and to Nuffnang especially for seeing it in me.

.   .   .   .   .   .

Stay tuned for my episodes of Project Alpha (which might have Henry Golding in them!) in my next entries.

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!

Nuffnang must have lost their mind – for putting the most NOT-bankable blogger me in the same league with Malaysia and Singapore’s most famous bloggers!

Well, if we are going to state the things we DON’T have in common first, of course -

• I don’t have nail-art nails, errrr.. long blonde hair and blue eyes (?)
• I don’t (know how to?) Photoshop & waterwark ALL my photos
• I don’t have tens of thousand visitors a day, AND
• I don’t cash in tens of thousand ringgit from Nuffnang every month too

OBVIOUSLY

.. so in case you guys haven’t noticed,

..we are of the same height!

To find out more about Cheesie and to witness she does look AS GOOD without Photoshop anyway, watch her episodes in Project Alpha website or at my sidebar. You will feel less of a girl or fall in love with all things Chees(i)e soonafter!

I swear her hair smells sweet + lovely ALL THE TIME (or at least when I was beside her)!

Having had my Cheesie marathon earlier, I am partly excited and mostly nervous about how will MY episodes look like! Kyanite and Nuffnang – be kind!

Oh, and if anyone’s interested – all the dresses I wore in this entry are TENNIS DRESSES from adidas!

I always pair them with glittering bangles / layering necklaces / scarves (perfect to hide unwanted cleavage) AND super high heels for events / parties.

Maroon tennis dress by Stella McCartney for adidas

Baby blue tennis dress by adidas Kids (really!)

Purple tennis dress by adidas from Ana Ivanovic range

They might be from a couple of seasons ago but if you are lucky, you might still get them from smaller adidas outlets.

.  .  .  .  .  .

Love, plenty of cheese and all things girly today!

It feels like it was just last week I attended the Project Alpha Season 2 launch and press conference – and now, its second episode with first featured blogger – Niki Cheong, a columnist / journalist with The Star is shown at Project Alpha’s Official Website and at my sidebar!

Niki, Ninie and Supersupertall

Project Alpha Season 2 is a reality TV show which uncovers the lives of Malaysia’s top 7 bloggers and other bloggers featured in Season 2 beside the three of us are Cheesie, KY, Klubbkidd and Azwan Ali with special appearances by Xiaxue, Kenny Sia and Project Alpha Season 1 bloggers!

I promise I’d share my photos of Project Alpha launch & press conference REAL SOON but I can’t help to share this hilarious photo that I stole from Niki’s blog first, where we imitated each other’s infamous pose on the Project Alpha Season 2 buntings during the launch!

Ninie doing a Niki and Niki breaking his back!

Enjoy Niki’s episodes for now and my heartiest gratitude to Project Alpha sponsors who made us all feel most celebrated!

Imagine this, from 18th to 24th January, in a week I participated / organized

Monday : ntv’s The Breakfast Show interview + FIVE yoga classes to teach

Tuesday : ASTRO’s AWANI Pagi interview

Wednesday : Two yoga classes to teach

Thursday : STARBUCKS’ Live & Inspire featuring Ninie Ahmad

Friday : adidas Stella McCartney event

Saturday & Sunday : BE Yoga Open Day

all in between of running a yoga centre and I had 11 camera crews and make-up team following me around the whole week for Project Alpha Season 2.

• BE Yoga Open Day

Saturday, 23 January 2010 (coincidentally, 23 January is World Yoga Day, y’all!)

For the first time, I was made-up to teach a Hot Yoga class!

This is how I look without eyebrows..

Partner Yoga performance by my BE Yoga partner and I

Full classes of beloved members and newbies

The much anticipated Yoga-ta Limbo contest whom lowest record could win 1-Year Unlimited BE Yoga Membership worth RM1,988. We had phenomenal fun limbo-rocking yoga style (drop backs and all!) especially when BE Yoga teachers (Yours Truly included) joined in the challenge!

Initially, I wanted to organize a Limbo Rock session to break the lowest Limbo Rock record in Malaysia until I found out how low the record is – 20cm! Madness. Yet, interesting

Jojo Struys also tried albeit with her own style..

Other Project Alpha Season 2 bloggers (Niki Cheong & KY) also dropped by BE Yoga to support and break a spine(?).

Limbo Rock is one of my favourite sports (?). When I was in Sekolah Tun Fatimah (STF) from 1995 to 1999, I remember winning annual Limbo Rock competition during Sumbangsih year 1998. Before yoga at that time,  think I did very well so I really anticipated this Yoga-ta Limbo during BE Yoga Open Day to validate how much my strength and flexibility had improved with yoga.

Seeing other BE Yoga teachers dropped / disqualified earlier did scare me in the midst of competing. And beyond anyone’s expectation, this boy from A’ Cut Above hair & make-up team was my biggest competition!

Until he succumbed at 0.51metre..

Check out his washboard abs! He promised me a free haircut at A’ Cut Above if I defeated him. Well..

For an A’ Cut Above haircut, I didn’t mind splitting..

Going low..

And lower..

And even lower..

And even lower..

Until my thighs (contrary to popular belief, Limbo Rock requires exceptional thighs strength instead of openness in the spine. It ain’t easy walking and supporting your whole body weight on your thights! Although of course, having an open back helps a lot too) gave in at 0.48metre low.

If you asked me, what was my secret weapon, I think it’s my shiny adidas Techfit Powerweb pants that helped snug my quads muscle tight. Really!

Sunday, 24 January 2010

The highlight for Sunday if not the Open Day was BE Yoga’s attempt to get the most people in a room standing, or Headstanding for one full minute. At first I planned for it to set an entry for Malaysia Book Of Records but their impossible minimum number of getting at least 1000 people for a record put me off.

First and foremost, I honestly think there are less than 100 people that can even stand of their heads (even for a couple of seconds) in KL let alone 1000 people for ONE MINUTE!

So we decided that the show must go on and let it be a BE Yoga record that we are going to keep breaking every year. So yes, a record was set. Out of 21 participants, 18 successfully stood on their heads for at least 60 seconds and won 1-Month Unlimited Membership at BE Yoga worth RM288 each.

For those who missed this and would like to help us break our own record, you have exactly one year to practice!

After a full weekend of shooting me at adidas Stella McCartney event and BE Yoga Open Day, Jojo Struys and Project Alpha camera crews followed me home and I showed them where I always do my Ashtanga practice every morning.

Beside my swimming pool..

They even followed me to my bathroom (door) as they refused to believe in the beginning that – not only I have a wardrobe and three shoeracks full of adidas clothes & shoes, I also have shower with adidas in my bathroom!

They even interviewed my former housemate, Henry Golding (it’s his birthday today, say Happy Birthday Henry!).

Twitter had it (yes, my housemates and I communicate via Twitter), he’s flying to Madrid this Monday to interview Cristiano Ronaldo. I pray he’d bring home Ronaldo for me and Anna

(Most photos are from Huey Yoong and Jojo Struys)

So that was the busiest week in my life so far.

For more updates of Project Alpha Season 2, be a fan of Project Alpha Facebook Page and follow Project Alpha at @ProjectAlphaMY. Project Alpha is a reality TV show that uncovers the life of Malaysia’s Top 7 Bloggers. Project Alpha is scheduled to be aired at Hitz. tv (ASTRO CH705) in April 2010.

Can’t wait for what else 2010 has in store for me, although I know in my guts – I have everything I ever wished for in life lined up for me this year . I keep writing, saying and repeating what I want in my life as my affirmations of doing so are my own calling to my own destiny. You should (believe you deserve what you get, change instead of complain) too.

To an anticipated holiday this coming Chinese New Year so that I can recharge and execute my year, in full gear..

Love, light and prosperity.
