HAHA!! found this on the web while i was surfing randomly one day! but thinking abt it, its quite true huh!! hahahaa
talking abt working out, its been a month since i joined the yoga class at my aunt's. they have a fixed schedule of the different types of yoga classes at different timings, so i decided to join the thurs morning classes, which is early in the morning at 10am. ok la 10am is not considered very early, but considering that i need to travel by bus there, and that the bus journey takes ard an hr, it IS early. haha the class im attending is power yoga, a more vigorous and challenging type of yoga! after abt a month of the classes, i can really feel my arms getting stronger. they were super weak before that!:S some poses are quite challenging though taht i had a hard time figuring out, whats with the different arms and legs poses here and there, and i can get abit clumsy at times. ahaha but i found out i have really developed a keen interest in the sport:) my aim now is to train up my arm and breathing techniques so that i can do headstand!! pls pls pls, i need it to help me with the pess test!!!
below are some of the power yoga poses we learned:
yup...this is one of the more challenging poses. super ?!?!?! right! the first time i went there, the teacher showed me this, and im like what?! im gg to do this?! requires ALOT of arm power!! till now, i still cant manage to lift my heavy body up:(
yes, for this pose, we will have to support our legs on the mirror! i always dread this pose, cos my palms and the base of my feet are always sweaty..so i always have difficulty holding myself ahahha we have to lift both legs against the mirror somemore!! gosh
this is another pose which i cant do!! dunno why, everyone seems to lift up so easily except me!! i think i have some prob with my butt man..maybe cos my butt too heavy alr zzz the teacher always have to help me pull my legs up=.= haha
these are the typical poses that we do everytime
and yes, i found this on google images...i cant imagine myself doing this pose.. flexibility 101:O
vigorous right?? most of the time, i will be sweating like mad after the class. great workout i would say!:D
recently, one of gene's poly mates passed away due to cancer. although i dun know her personally, i felt so sorry for her. she was so young and should be enjoying the prime of her life, yet she succumbed to the terrifying and fatal illness. yes, even till now, i was still quite traumatized by the news; i guess everyone of her friends does:( at the same time, it makes me realise once again, that life always sets reminders for us: most of the time, we are too entrenched into our lives, that we tend to forget the important, we grow to be familiar with our surroundings and the people around us, that we often take them for granted. and it is always when we are hit by harsh realities like this that we are suddenly jolted awake, and realise we shouldnt continue to take life for granted. yes, i guess we all need constant reminders, everyday reminders, and not only when unfortunate things happen.
i once held the utopian view that if there were a magical medicine that would cure all illnesses and prolong the lives of people, that would be the greatest thing on earth. no suffering, no goodbyes that will be so hard to bear. however, i realised it is of no help if we dont cherish the people around us, and treasure the life that we have now. i feel kind of guilty, the way i treat my loved ones and close friends at times due to my short temper and harsh personality. i guess, we all commit similar faults at times. we are afterall, not saints that can pursue perfection in all areas. and sometimes, our ego and pride take the better of us, so much so that we remain silent and hope that things will just pass by and be forgotten with time. in any case, i would want to apologise for all the hurt ive caused on my loved ones. i will reflect. and i hope everyone does too.
"Life is short. Do what u desire, and take good care of the people around u, be they your parents, your siblings, your lover, or your friends.
You might never get that chance again."
