My apologies..for not updating my blog...time passes in a whirl and I just do not realized that...

First all.... I just recently completed a grueling two days Body Step course conducted by Les Mill trainer. Now then I realized being an instructor is not as breezy as it seem, to remember your cheorography, cueing and being entertaining at the same time is not EASY! It takes practice and being comfortable with your moves, your cues and yourself before you are able to make others at ease with you. I would say being yourself is one of the important factor, how many of us are comfortable performing in front of others and allow ourself to be scrutinzed and criticizied. Helping my own voice cueing others and teaching the moves to others is also very alien to me who do not have experience in public speaking. Being so dependent on others on telling me what is the next step makes me realise that being the one who allows others to be dependent on is no mean feat; it carries a responsibility and heighten an awarenes of oneself.

Well immediately after the course, I was sick (might have something to do with the foolhardy act of drinking the ma la broth out of curiosity :) ) and was out of work for 4 day! Till now I am still nursing a flu and cough, hopefully it gets better soon. Went gyming on Friday, but was helpless like a babe, carried very light weight and get breathless easily during Step class. But neverthessless, I enjoyed myself and hopes to get back the feeling of being strong and invicible in class! ha ha.. ..

Met up with a friend who has went back to Australia to study and work. His parents were from Singapore but migrated to aussie and gave birth to my friend over there. He came back for a short stint during his teenaged years but eventually still find Aussie more to his liking. So since he came back for a visit, we have a opportunity to meet up and reminisince...oh mine..oh mine..how all of us had grown up. What a weird feeling..to feel the same and yet not the same..to still remember the quirks but found something new to marvel at too :) I guess that humans..forever evolving.

Went to Shandel's house too over the weekend. Ha ha...the gal who rarely set foot in a kitchen and does not even know where her kitchen knives are located want to make a cake for her BF's birthday! We attempt the impossible, making a layer cake from scratch, with mousse and ganache! ha ha.. ..who says novice cannot dreams BIG! hee hee...that gal was diligently scrawling in her notebook her observations and tips while I was demonstrating. Well she seems to understand quite well; let wish her success for that day!

My little precious dog went for a dreaded vet visit over the weekend too. She was scratching herself excessively and bleeding from her scratches! Turns out she has yeast infection and the itch was unbearable to the point that she scratches herself obessively. Went for an x-ray too as she was passing out stones in her urine. X-ray shows that she has 5 stones in her bladder! Now we are sending the sample to SGH for analysis and praying hard that it is nothing serious. And all these cost an whopping $315..haha...but her life much more important and money can always be earned..*shrugs*.
