Pressure Cooker
Some of you readers or should i say avid gym-goers would have already know by now, the
launch is coming soon. And the launch date is drawing near as i am typing this entry. Read some of you guys blog, already detailing those stuff that is goin through your head right now. I tink all the instructors that is in the same field is goin through the phase i am going right now. And you might asking what phase would that be. And i can gladly tell you, is the phase called... BLUR phase!!! HIAK!!!!!!
Every quarter, we will be giving a new materials to master and eventually extend whatever we master (hopefully true to the materials) to the members. And this new materials is what giving all the instructors a big-major-gigantic-out-of-proportion-headache!!! Ok, maybe i hv gone a way bit way to drama on the headache part hehe . Maybe if you r just goin thru one program, ok that is not that bad lar. Two programs, hmm i think i still manageable. But anything three and beyond.....that is when your really need to prepare paracedemol ( did i get it right?!) to ease your pain!!
As for me, right now, i am just focusing on my major core program (u all pun tau what issit lar :P). Is already a big major-gigantic task to just memorise the chory. And to add more pressure, i have to make sure i get all movement on the dot b4 i attend any of the tuition classes later in the week. This is what driving me nuts nuts nuts!! Don't get me wrong, i do love the current new release. To me is one of the best chory among all other releases. Esp the 2nd block...apa panggil ? Comtemporary Jazz kah ? tak tau aper benda to..hiak!!! Yet, i am so dig into the 2nd block...Dunno why, maybe the way the music drives the chory. It kinda start with a low tune, slowly and steadily it progress to strong beats and hard core drumming mixture with synthesizer. And the next thing you know...BAM!!! performance time and u like turning and turning and turninn.....tak tau mana u turn also hiak!!!!
Was practising the moves last night, watching the video, trying to memorise as much and as close as possible. did few rounds of viewing. Thought i have got the basic move and counts. So i tutup, pigi tidur. This morning, i pop the cd into my car-stereo for revision, tot that i could imagine the movement in my head. The moment the music start....i was like...."huh, what is the move already ah?...How to start already? step-touch? no...walk 4 steps?.....@*&#*@&#*@&#*(&@#.......Next thing i eject the cd out, popin my madonna cd....and there i was ..head popping and yelling all the way to work...............Time goes by.....so slowly........LOL!!!!!!!!!
Now, can anyone tell me, how pressure and stressful are you guys feeling right now ? :)
Pouring
It has been raining non-stop for the past 2 hours over in this cyber-village place. As i am typing this entry, can actually hear the thunderstorm and rain hitting on the rooftop. The office is pretty quiet at the moment, mostly all left for friday night outing (wonder what is there to out with the dread rain ...hiak). Browsing almost all the sites that i can browse, and still hv no idea what i am gonna do for the next couple of hours b4 my shift ends.
Nothing to really blog about...just wanan tell you guys is raining cats and dogs now........hiak.....Save me!!! Save meeeeeeeee...........................
p/s - the materials still has not arrive yet. Gawd knows what is going on over the other side of the world.........Does everyone really ask or seek for an answer ?
Standstill
Everything is on a standstill at this moment. Don't have the materials. No materials, no tuition. No tuition, no launch dates. No launch dates, no new things to show. No new things to show, programme will get boring. Programme gets boring, member no turn up. No members turn-up, class will be dead. Dead class, class being cancel. Class cancelled, instructor no work. Instructor no work, no get paid. No pay, no money. No money, no eat. No eat, hunger. Eventually lead to DEAD!!!!!........
What is proper?
What is a proper attire for gym-goers this days? have you guys and gals ever thought about it. Just go to any of the gym these days and you will see all sorts of styles ppl are wearing to work out in gym. Some could be very pleasing to the eyes, and others could be, should i say "wardrobe-mulfunction" to say the least :). Not that i am an expert in this fields.
Well, the thing i wanan share wiht u guys today is something i encoutnered yesterday when i was in the male changing room. As usual, i was getting ready for my class, changing my gym clothes, while others were doing the same thing. And there was this particular guy, was changing next to me. Normally i don't really bother bout it. But somehow, this guy just maange to catch my attention throughout the whole entire changing process. hiak!! What happened was, he put on his singlet. Took out his pants. And the next thing, he also took out his underwear. Now, this is NOT wat caught my attention ok guys!! :P the thing that he did next was what cauhgt me by surprise. The moment he drop his underpant, he just go str8 and wear his shorts. And he lock his locker and out he went to do his workout.
Hmm...Now, question guys. Can you really workout without having a underpants and just merely your gym short ? Imagine, without a underpant, just your loose shorts, and mind u, is those really short shorts, and there you are, running on the treadmill or a stepper machine. You rigorously doing it, listening to your most fav upbeat music using your ipod sweating all out, your whole entire body sturcture moving unison to the music you are listening. And there you are, your 'brother'' without any support or watsoever, was open freely and happily there bouncing up and down , left and right...doink doink doink. Catch my drift guys? Is it comfortable?? or does it feels liberating since your 'brother" feeling soooo "freeeeeee" inside? How?? how?? And this thought have been in my mind since yesterday till now. Just wanan share it with you guys. Any of you have own experience what i hv jus describe here, care to share wiht me ? Would love to know how is like.....Hiak!!
Mid-summer night
It's 1pm in the monday morning. Just thought of coming in to update my blog before i hit the bed. These two weeks i'm on stand-by for work, so that explain why i am still awake at this wee hour. In my room now using my notebook to type this entry. Pretty quiet surrounding, just the sound of the A/C blowing in the background. Weekend was ok. Did the usual weekend classes. Was particularly quite happy with my attack class in Taipan these morning. The turn-up was pretty encouranging as compare to previous weeks when it was started. Atleast now you can really see the members coming in full-force to do the classes. Hopefully it will sustain throughout the other weeks to come.
Another thing would be the official announcement of me as a part-time GXI for one of the establish gym centre you can find in KL. After months of long-deep-thought- provocative...err...not provocative..heheh as in where i am standing now interms of my parttime job as a freelance instructor. I finally took up the offer. Was it a hard decision to make to take up the offer? hmm...Don't think so. The offer did came much much earlier as in late last year, but didn't took up the offer bcos i don't think i was ready for it at that time. Then somehow it crop up couple of months back. At that moment,i was going through a bad phase in my part-time job. One thing, i am happy with the members (n hopefully the members are happy wiht me in returns), but on the other hands, there are something somewhere that is really bothering me. I can't seem to move to another level with the current situation that i got myself into. I know i have what it takes to make it. And yet while you are trying to make it, there are other forces/medium that is stopping (regardless directly or indirectly) you from moving ahead. Or it could be i ma just a plain jane sensitive boi!. But whatever it is, it has come to a point that i felt really frustrated and dissapointed with the whole thing. At that time it really put me to think hard whether i should just close-one-eye or stick what i beleive in myself.
Some sees it as i take this offer as a show of revenge to what it had fall upon me. But sincerely, i took the offer cos i felt it gives me the space and opportunity to proof to myself that i have what it takes to be where i am today. Also the pay is good lar...hahahha...At the end of the day, what matter most is you are happy wiht what you are doing, and yes, i can savely say now that i am in peace and serene mind and looking forward to take up the challenge that is infront of me.
To all the other instructors that has came into my live, this past 2 years has been a blessing to have u ppl be part of my life. And i would like to wish all these ppl a very big thank you for showing the support and confidence in me having to teach in your esteem centres. Lynn, Cindy, Eric, Henry, Jeremy, Teoh, . Out path will definately cross in the future, and i do wish you all the best of everything youdo in future undertaking. Peace guys..........
Also to all my members who sticks with me from day one till now, you guys RAWK!!!! Gonna definately miss you ppl soo soo much. The smile, the joy, the enthusiasm that you ppl bring into the class everyday without failed, nothing can really substitute that. It just only makes my job much easier and abig joy to teeach you ppl. Now goin to mention names, cos of you ppl do read this entry i am very sure :p You know who u are guys....from the bottome of my heart...Muah! Muah! Muah!!..........
Chiang Mai pictures
Time for pictures. Yeap, as promise (already long overdue) the pictures i took during my recent trip to Chiang Mai. Sorry for the arrangement as i don't really hve the time to arrange the sequence or the format. This is the best i can go for now. Decided to breakdown the pictures into places that I have been/visited. And for the first entry, i will post the first stop i visit which is called Dol Sunthep, a must visit Thai Temple/shrine in Chiang Mai. Pictures paint a thousand words . Here you go..........
Day 1 - Dol Sunthep
Nice?? heheh...ok..Next stop. On the 2nd day me and my mate decided to take an excursion to go to the highest peak in Thailand. The place is called Dol Ithonion. Is actually a National Park Forest Reserves Sanctuary place. Takes about 2hrs bus ride from the Chiang Mai city to the place. Was told before hand that we might need a jacket since the place could be very cold. Dind't take the hint, end up get caught of the coldness when the bus finally reached the peak. Pictures will show you how cold is the place. Some of the attraction in this excursion includes, the King adn Queen Twin Pagoda, Queen Botanical Garden, Tribes village, some very nice waterfall. Some of the pictures are pretty blur because during our trip the mist was very heavy, esp when we reached to the twin pagoda. According to our tour-guide, on a nice day, we can actually havea magnificent view of the both said pagoda. Guess not our luck that day..But nevertheless, took some pictures for you guys to enjoy.........
Day 2 - Dol Inthonion
Magnificent are't those pictures? There are more nice pictures coming your way. And i shall update it on the next entry. Took me the whole morning to get up these pictures...hahahaha...there goes my half day......:p
