just ate a very nice special version of nasi goreng from my local malaysian wok place, vegetarian with a bit more spicy curry and pineapple + cashews.
yummie!
before that I was at my studio teaching a HathaYoga class. a really nice class today, had only 2 participants [this class always small group since a strange timespot] and also I was feeling quit tired and so from the long sunday I guess.
but sometimes when you least expect it some of the most nice feeling classes reveals themselves [that small extra feeling you know].

yesterday was a long day, we had a visit from a swedish nun within kadampa buddhism at our place,
Khunpen [her buddhist name] is also gonna have 2 meditation evenings in our studio before x-mas.

I started the sunday with leaving dogs at the studio,then of to teach a HathaYoga class at World Class Nybroplan, wich is a new big fitness/gym-place.
I had 17 students attending the 10.30 sunday class there, one was an visiting italian man, I noticed his swedish friend was translating some during the class for him he he
then back to buddha spa, a quick sandwich for breakfast and then start to arrange for the "buddha evening - in the sign of buddhism".
up to 40 persons had pre-booked and 26 of them had order food [my collegue "A" did a home made channa-korma, wich is a indian creamy chick pea dish], so she was stuck at home in the kitchen preparing that plus 2 carrot cakes.

so I was trying to arrange so all had a sitting spot and to make it look cosy and homely, because one thing with theese evenings are that we want it to feel relaxed, as you are comming to someones home for a small gathering..
and.. for free if you like to so the lecture is for free,
but we sell our own herbal/spice tea for 10kr in papermugs,
for the ones who order our homade food we sell it for 65kr. this mean the evening in the end is probably not giving any profit for us, but the profit here is to get satisfied people and that things happend at or place and also for someone show their passion or knowledge and inspire others.
so this time it was the young buddhist nun who had a 1 hour lecture and then an 20 minute breathing meditation.

so today/monday since we really want it to be good and for people to enjoy, I guess we put some stress & pressure to ourselves so when I woke up I felt beaten up and decided to sleep some more after snoozing so many times the mobile didn't allow me to snooze any more.

but it was worth it, I felt it was a very nice evening, a calm & homely "event" and I hope the ones who came were satisfied.
about 33 persons finally came, the only sad part is that 7 persons that had ordered food didn't come, wich for me is a bit lacking of respect when we buy food and prepare, with "A" spending hours in the kitchen grinding seads to make a even better authentic korma sause etc,
and we offer a low price since dont want to earn from it really..
and then people book food and dont come so instead we loose money on the whole thing and have food left over..
so un-neccesary!

but nevermind, not gonna give that anymore energy..
