Carebear in Action

Got an MSN message in the morning... Phew! No spot test in BC!

Was kind of busy the whole day yesterday, plus was having Monday blues, MC called this my "Garfield syndrome". So didn't get to check if combat buddies were still going to be at TC.

Very happy to see BJC parked just beside where I did when I arrived at parking. Later, while waiting for class to start, I saw a sad looking Wookie (I thought) . Don't be upset lah, the flowers look OK what hehe... and much later half way through the class, my new found Scrabulous buddy turned up as well! Haven't seen her for so long...

Yesterday's BC was really packed, remained as the very popular class. However, teacher was not seen even after the class was filled up. By the time teacher rushed passed the glass panel outside the studio, all I saw was a red water bottle flashing, like warning sign. Haha... and sorry, I didn't put the filled bottle where it was "supposed" to be. Too shy to walk across such big crowd and certainly cannot manage to climb up the stage. And of course we all know you are not Master C, the GXC already change lah at the timetable board to show Carebear (not literally lah, imagine that hahaha).

All the rushing must have caused teacher some mental fog. I wouldn't notice the mistakes actually, but of course those hardcore combaters and experts could instantly pick up the slightest flaw. You could have said you were just "testing" us, no? hee... Who invented the push-up "punishment" by the way?

Most of the tracks were all time favorite, for me at least, except for the "box" upper cut track, very dizzy! I've been having this knee "pain" since morning (not stabbing pain, but like "geli", weakening type of discomfort and sensation on the knee), so I'd got my knee guard tightly strapped. So no matter how inspired I was by Steve during Muay Thai, I just can't seem to be able to lift my left leg, leave alone jumping ceiling-high. (I looked as though I was doing BS you said??!! Humphhh...) It was such a waste that I can't jump during the Girl Friend track. Haizzz...

I was blessed with clear instructions and movements demo and the class was full of energy. Different type of energy from Carebear, one with a tinge of "cheekiness".

BP class was also like a can of sardine. By the time I'd changed into my shorts and went back to my set-up board, there was only like less then a feet of space between my board and a newly placed board. After adjusting, I could just manage comfortable space for warm up and squat, till we reached chest. My bar was "fighting" with the gal beside me, humphhh... Just when I thought I'd adjusted my space perfectly for tricep to avoid clashing, others also adjusted "accordingly", therefore, more "fighting". So effectively, I'd missed about 5% of my chest and tricep workout (haha) since I had to get up to shift my board.

And no teacher, I do not wish to do Eye of The Tiger again on Wednesday (touch wood!!!), California OK, but I do love the conditioning track. I love Shake Your Tail Feather to start with, always wish FI can do that in his BJ. The thing about doing Carebear's BP is that it always makes me wonder how that woman can be so strong!? I was about to wonder if the team-teaching instructor was struggling with matching the weights Carebear carried.

Side track, talking about the TT instructor, I thought he was quite good. He spoke very clearly and no funny accent. Very organized with what he wanted to say and sounded very confident and motivating. Although, I thought some instructions were a bit "sudden". Must be the track.

Anyways, my story is getting too long already and yes I can see yawning (but I need to some how make sure this post can be categorized under AK). So in short, BC and BP was great, sweat a lot, great torturing and loads of pain. But I might need to choose a better spot to stand during the next class to avoid working out less :p.

After class, I was really hungry and thank god for Carebear's life-saving scones, gobbled down two even before I left the gym. They were nice, getting better but yeah, we generally don't like mix peel lah, that's why I chose a non-mix-peel Christmas fruit cake. I'm ok with oats and a bit of spices, but perhaps not everyone does. It was also fun to be "commenting" with some fun and cool people to end my crazy night.
