Hot Yoga- Very Hot Sia!

Ever heard of hot yoga? I had a go at it on Monday at Bikram Yoga in Cityhall. Check out their website at http://www.bikramyoga.com/.

I only have a piece of advice for all first timers- VERY HOT SIA!

Wah lau... I must say, it was the most traumatic experience since I started working. Never have I felt so physically challenged. Hot Yoga, as its name suggests, meant doing Yoga in a hot room at 40 degrees celsius. Imagine doing all the "stunts" in a sauna room. Just 15 mins into the class, I felt dizzy and nauseous already. Imagine, the entire class was to last for 90 donkey minutes! *faintz*

Anyway, I did what I could, so as not to waste the walk in rate of $40. Every 5 mins, I would sit down and rested like 10 mins. I only felt that I was breathing and alive through the 10 mins breaks. As soon as I stood up, I started blacking out. Basically, I couldn't even stand properly, not to mention doing any "stunts". Well, I'm not a very flexible person to start off with.

It only adds on to my pain that my instructor spoke with a real strong Indian accent. "Frenchman, Frenchman. Look at the Frenchman. " he spoke. I thought, "Where got Angmoh in my class? Siao ah? Only 4 students mah, 1, 2, 3, 4... all Chinese leh... don't tell me he saw someone whom I didn't see hor..." It was when he frantically pointed to the mirror in front that I realised that,

FRENCHMAN= FRONT MIRROR!

Argh.. as if I pek chek enough. Tamade.

The entire 90 mins was like eternal hell. For the first time in my life, I thought I was going to die (Okie, apart from the ordeal 10 years ago where I was stuck with a 6 hour hill trek with no water). By the time the class ended, I was an entire wreck. Messy hair, dizzy head, overwhelming nauseousness and wobbly legs. What the hell.

Most pathetically, after everything, I failed to lose any weight, did not feel healthier, still couldn't sleep well at night and, now my entire body's aching!

No more hot yoga for me.

I've had the best hashbrowns for breakfast today. Woohoo~

I just don't understand why you have to talk to me in circles. If you have anything that you are so f***ing unhappy about, have the guts to tell me straight in the face. IF, the situation would remain status quo even after your tremendous efforts to rephrase words into hidden meanings then in circles, probably you wanna consider shutting up?

I'm sick of all your childish efforts to place your intented messages into strings of unintelligible words. If it has ever crossed your bloody minute and rusty brain that I am just another sweet little lamb who shudders and suffers in silence against your verbal insults, YOU ARE SO WRONG!

I sincerely hope you fall into a smelly drain.

I've been missing a bit on blogging because I was "busy" settling some emotional issues at work. Don't wanna talk about it much here. Will cause too much of controversy.

It's kinda hard and there were umpteen times when I just feel like giving up. But, everytime I turn to backing out and surrendering, my inner voice would go, "No! Don't fall into the traps of such callous people!" The more I think about it, the more advices I get from close friends, I just got more determined to fight back.

Arghhhhh.... I'm thinking about my golden turtle again.
