“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.” – Bruce Lee
I can’t help but wonder if this quote was an echo of the influence from his training in 詠春 (Wing Chun) (1) or from 老子 (Lao Tze)’s 道德经 (Dao De Jing) (2), or maybe both.
It has been confirmed… New York is a city where anything can happen! Brought to you by Improv Everywhere. (plus other interesting and insane Improvs also found on youtube.)

On a different note, Yoga fans in New York, go visit Earth Yoga NYC.
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
The weather was brilliant yesterday and lasted the entire time I was out at Regents Park for my Sunday weapons class till coming back to Borehamwood after meeting up with some good friends.
Been back from Malaysia for a week now and finally gotten over my jetlagged state of airheadedness…
Apart from stumbling through work/life in general these past few days and trying not to kill myself (or someone else for that matter…) during Iaido class, I’ve been watching Yuyu Hakusho.
Finally, 3 years (almost to the day!) since leaving Malaysia, I’m back in Kuala Lumpur (with all it’s humity, heat, haze and food!)
I’ll be leaving for Kota Kinabalu (Sabah, or Borneo for those wondering) in 2-3 hours time, leaving me a bit of time to do some blogging when I really should be sleeping since it’s 6am in the morning.
I’ve managed to borrow my brother’s DSLR (cannon d1000) for these 3 weeks in SEA, and am anticipating loads and loads of photo ops.
Anyway, back to foodie photos…
Unfortunately, I don’t have the photos of bak kut teh with me since that was yesternight and I was still a bit out of it and forgot my camera.
Tonight, however, armed with a dslr, I went to dinner at Old Town cafe (based on the famous brand of Ipoh coffee, Old Town white coffee) well prepared.
Nasi lemak!!! (rice cooking in coconut oil, served with crunchy anchovies, peanuts, a spicy paste, cucumber and rice crisps… fried chicken may or may not be included)
and nasi pulut with belacan! A spicy sticky rice dish that was rather yummy, washed down with a nice cold cup of Ipoh hazelnut old town white coffee (not featured in these photos… )
