I definitely want to have 3 pump slot weekly in my gym schedule...
I'm like MML regular this week... having said that, I still feel like an alien walking into the gym because of people giving me curious looks (should have gotten used to my face by my third time there this week). Joint pump after my walking with office mate yesterday... the class was great, familiar old tracks, I rephrase, good old
torturing tracks. I've not done pump with this instructor so many times, but I did find his class very motivating and most importantly not boring. Suddenly while waiting for class to start, the instructor told me he's not seen me for a long time... hmmm... I was there the week before (my second class there) or unless he meant that very one time I did his class "accidentally" at LM (was supposed to be Hobbes' class, but he replaced, so since Hobbes didn't inform, I was there all ready for the class). Then, I decided that he must have been talking to the guy behind of me instead. Anyways...I do need to get used to his accent, with lots of
cheese along the line - "stand tall and proud
cheese" and I thought I hear "lie down on the
binch and aim the bar to your
cheese". Another thing to get used to is not overdo my shouting, I mean, erm... what's the word to use? As Maxis Buddy always says "moaning" haha... the class was too quiet, in fact, I felt that it was quieter the week before. Really not used to quiet class, I mean, that was not yoga class you know.
My original plan was to come back early to bake, but I went to pump at MML again today and that's mainly because favorite instructor was replacing the class... Also, if I've done my pump today, I don't have to worry about joining a pump class tomorrow (tomorrow very busy). Nevertheless, I skeptically told favorite instructor in MSN the night before about my plan of joining his class, you know, busy work days lately sigh...
SURPRISINGLY today was the best Friday I've had so far hehe... many tasks were completed early the day, decisions were made by boss quickly without much hiccups AND towards the late afternoon, a parcel arrived from the States which distracted my boss totally from giving us more work, haha - his iPhone arrived!!! Goshh... you guys would really have to see it, it's SO COOL!!! Sorry, I'm not good in description of gadgets, so won't be able to tell you exactly why it's cool, but I'm sure you know, THE iPhone which was lately launched in US, with people lining up overnight to purchase the phone on the first day of sale, it was in the news and all.
SO, I managed to leave the office early, but having said that, it was a bit of a rush too considering the class was at 6.45pm. Managed to register for the class ok, but I went into class late (should be a few minutes earlier, but I forgot my bandanna and went back in to get it - I need a hair cut!). To my relief, there was still a spot, and I'd to say, a good spot, left in the class, and while I was busy setting up my weights, the 5kgs for the warm up, a familiar face came over, passing me two 2.5kgs and two donuts, THANKS! Such a nice guy, but sorry, I didn't get your name. So I only need to quickly run to get another two 2.5kg... OK, forget about doing 11kg for squat today lah, too troublesome to get another two 5kgs. This nice guy told me he'd always seen me at The Curve on Mondays doing Carebear's pump, but he was at the other side of the room, so I must have missed seeing him... hmmm... actually that's true, so sorry... but wait, I thought I would put that face to "combater"...? Ya, I think Tuesday combat at MML, I must have seen him when I used to do that Tuesday combat. I spotted many bloggers also in that class, must be a very popular class, even fav instructor said he'd heard so much about that class... NOW, today was extremely different from yesterday's class. So happening, not sure if it was because of our darling instructor or the crowd was simply the best crowd. Almost everyone around me were using super heavy weights (and yet that guy said I use such heavy weights...?) and no need to worry about me overdoing my shouting, my shout, scream, moan whatever you call it, were all drown by first the really loud music and other people shouting. Great!
As usual, when come bicep track, Her Majesty our Drama Queen, oppss... sorry, I mean His Majesty :p, will delivery that track with his ever so seducing way - that track will simply become a sexy body jam track for him. Not only his own performance way of conducting that track, members around him got seduced as well, so the class, guys, girls, happy men alike, got really "hot", and erm... what pain? The track was over...
Some new way of giving instruction from fav instructor today (for shoulder track, push up):
- Ladies, on your knees
(ya, ya...)- Gays, on your toes
(huh? where did this come from??)- Guys (real one he meant), on one leg!
(huuuuuh?)By his definition, he was one real macho guy, doing his push up, balacing on only one leg
(you got to be kidding me darling!) and by his defination again, since I was doing mine on toes, I had became a very happy one during push up. :D
I've also got acquaintance with this really nice lady in the locker room, we were sort of maneuvering around each other because our lockers were next to each other. We even did a friendly good bye when I left... hmmm... members at MML are just so friendly I found. Anyways, I had to rush back to bake... But like I said, i should really be doing 3 pump classes a week for better strength - I could now manage my 6kgs for chest track properly.
Tomorrow is collection of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows... I won't be queuing at 7am in the morning though. Anyways, for those who had not revised HP 6, or cannot manage to finish, here are some recaps and things you might want to expect:
1) It's the last year of school for Harry and friends, but at the end of the book, the school was missing the headmaster and by the sound of it Harry didn't seem to be planning to go back to school;
2) Harry and Ginny were already dating each other, though Harry did want to break up with her for her safety sake;
3) Professor Dumbledore was killed by Severus Snape... I personally don't think Snape really want to kill Dumbledore, I think Dumbledore must have predicted that day and made Snape promise to "kill" him when time comes, that's why, as Harry had discribed, Dumbledore was "pleading" Snape;
4) There are still 4 Horcruxes left... the last horcrux which Dumbledore had sacrified his life for, was a fake, and who the hell is R.A.B? (the signed off in the note inside this fake horcrux)
5) Bill and phelgm, opss.. I mean Fluer, were, will be, getting married (and Bill might turn into warewolf);
6) Yes, the school was missing the teacher for Defence Against Dark Arts again (Snape ran away with Draco remember?)
7) Which team won Quidditch by the way? I don't remember, did they get to the final?
8) The Weasley twins were already successful business men.
You know, I still think Snape is not a bad guy, I think he's the good guy spying for Dumbledore. I think it will be quote a touching scene when it comes to the unveiling of the truth about Snape.
Who's going to die? Logically the bad guy will be defeated at the end right? Some of my friends said both will die - hey, isn't, wasn't, this supposed to be a "children" book? I've ordered my copy of HP, adult cover.
Riyo and CareBear sort of joint us for a while during the cake cutting and a totally frustrated co-producer joint us after the cake cutting...
Farid got the birthday boy some really cute party balloons and a huge lollipop.
