Everything Yoga



Anyone who practices can obtain success in yoga but not one who is lazy. Constant practice alone is the secret of success. (Hatha Yoga Pradipika)

I have been frequently going for yoga lesson every once a week. Although many said only people with flexible body can obtain the postures. I personally think that anyone who has the interest and passion will have the power to do it.

Let me share some of my views about yoga:

There were many times I felt that life is worthless, work is monotonous and stressful and emotions are like roller coaster. These may lead to many factors that unable me to move on with my daily life. To maintain a positive mindset, one has to start the engine by either setting a target in life, conquer the negative influences and think ahead. However, it is easier said than done. Therefore, I chose to practice yoga and meditation to live mindfully in a constantly connected age. On top of that, according to some studies, yoga and stretching equally help people who has chronic back pain or stiff neck.

Each time when the yoga practice begin, I could sense that everyone, including myself enjoy the practice. Yoga not only calm a person's mind but it has a few beneficial areas like strengthening muscles, enhance flexibility and balance, increase focus and improve health in overalls.

Here are some poses I have learnt through my yoga sessions...

Trick 'r Treat?



To double up the scares for the Halloween Night, we decided to explore the special horror highlights held in Universal Studio Sentosa.



It was hilarious to gaze at people who were being scared or chased by the zombies/ demons all over the land.


There was one of the attraction which has successfully made us screamed at the top of our voice.


Pestilence, one of the haunted house which was filled with many skin peeling dead demons, victims, popping out from nowhere!


Apparently, there were too many crowds, therefore, many people got away from the scare zones too.





Have you watch "The Walking Dead"? Similarly, we saw many 'dead' zombies walking around aimlessly. Beware of them as they will just appear beside you when you are in a state of unawareness.



Nevertheless, the zombies were 'nice' and they were willing to camwhore with us. lolx


They look scarily disgusting though...



We found a smashed truck... very nicely done up!



They were trying to make the whole place look eerie. Green smoky walkway and sharp glowing light were seen everywhere. There was also a old rundown car nearby and I thought there could be someone/something hiding inside...



This is our first right, the Accelerator, a substitution of tea cup ride.



Next was the Revenge of Mummy . That was a fun and thrilling ride. At least, it managed to make my heart race. During the long wait, we started snapping away on our phones to kill the time.




And of course, not to forget to take photos with the century-old Mummy! I think we can easily make the costume out of toilet paper and old ragged clothes, cheapest DIY costume you can ever think of.



Finally, we came into a club where we were invited to dance with the dead. The music was nice and groovy and people were drinking and dancing away.



And lastly, after all the fun we had, we settled at a pizza place while indulging on a nice Hawaiian pizza.



Sign off. xoxo


Embarking on a new journey...

As you can see, I have moved my personal website from antiger.xanga.com to amy-wee.blogspot.com. The reason is because I would like to get rid of all my memories I have in there and to start afresh.

Before I continue, I would like to emphasize that this blog is purely about beauty products reviews (daily if possible!) and self-expression(me!me!me!).

In case you might thinking what kind of self-expression I'm going to review in here; they are gonna be cluster of values that include personal feelings on certain issue happening in the world or even myself, bitching about political stuffs or sensational news and not to forget lots of self-image of myself in different types of dressing styles and makeups.

I hope to post as often as possible, however if time or the amount of work loads do not permit me to do so, please excuse me. :)

Good night and

stay tune for my upcoming post!
