Christmas Gathering

I had announced the plank challenge at Chang Jiang facebook right after Deepavali. I had only practiced six times and I had to leave for my holidays in UK. When I came back, I continued with only 4 times. Therefore, I didn't seriously practise for the challenge at all. 

 Finally a date was fixed. That was yesterday morning. The night before yesterday, I had already got all those necessary preparation done. I had wrapped two winning prizes for the plank challenge. I had even wrapped these two tiny gifts below.

gifts and cards from UK

So yesterday morning at 10am, we were already at my friend's house despite the drizzle. We had a warm-up session conducted by my other friend who attends aerobic class every week.

Next, we had the plank challenge for the two guys. Yeah, a few other guys had chicken out last minute.

So, here's the champion for the male category!
A prize from Chang Jiang.
Congratulations, Naidu!

Before we proceeded with the ladies, I had presented a small Christmas gift to..
both of them who are going to celebrate Christmas.
There's a card and a key chain from Scotland  for each of them.
Merry Christmas, Naidu and Doris!


Next, we carried out with the ladies. Yeah, I was in the challenge too.
Obviously, she's the winner. She's the owner of the house too.
Congratulations, Anita!

The others got the consolation prizes from Chang Jiang.


Besides, I knew about the birthday of my two friends who just celebrated them a few days ago. I wanted to have a surprise birthday celebration for both of them together so I bought this chocolate moist cake for them.
Happy Birthday Anita and Shane! May both of you stay sweet and lovely always!

And here's our scrumptious refreshment.
It was sponsored by the owner of the house.
Thanks Anita!

    Seems like a fun event! Very challenging, a proper plank pose is sure no easy task. I yoga we even straighten our legs, only our elbows, palms and toes are on the floor. This works even more efficient!

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
