Encounters with the 4 big muscular men / Saturday, May 02, 2009 @ 7:19 AM
Hello world!
Initially I wanted to update last night but was forced to go to bed early by Mom! Yes, I went to bed before 11 pm you know and that is really RARE.
Let me start with Wednesday. I was ecstatic when there was no T-cube due to oral exams and I happily went home early. Bestie and me decided that we will stop by the Parkmall outlet before open meeting to go to the NB class. It started at 5.30 pm. The instructor was tough. Really tough and I could not get used to her style. On a good note, the outlet was huge. It was so nice and huge so yah I guess we will be going there on meeting days when we are not too held up with meetings in school.
Only brought fruits since I knew I was going home early. I brought the fruits up to class to eat every now and then since I had no break from 10.30 am. One of the boys looked so concerned and asked me: "You are only eating fruits?"
It is so cute that they are so concerned. Haha.
Thursday. Ahah, long day. Classes will end at 3pm and I have 2 intense classes at night. Generally I will bring slightly heavier food on Thursdays so that I will not feel hungry. Mom packed for me the very delicious spaghetti and salmon. It was the first time we tried cooking salmon and it was yummy! Shared some food with CT and Maya when we all ate in a hurry so that we are in time for the 2 pm class. I told Mom to just cook the fish and put some lettuce in it but somehow she thought that since it was going to be a long day, she cooked spaghetti for me as well.
So nice.
I had to announce to the boys that there will be no classes during exams, at least for the next 2 weeks. My conversation with Darryl regarding heights, NS and camp was hilarious! Somehow this boy is so terrified of NS, he was literally figuring out ways to escape. It is so weird because he may look tall and matured but thinking wise- he is still a little boy. Haha.
Since Edlyn was not going to be around for KB and LO classes in Simei, bestie and me decided to check out 2 new classes happening at Tampines. So at 7.30 pm, I was there for Bollyblitz followed by SF class at 8.30 pm. Bollyblitz was conducted by my all time favourite instructor. Basically it is a workout that is inspired by Bollywood dance moves. Even though I am no fan of Bollywood music/movies, the class was actually very enjoyable! I really like it! Darryl's teaching is clear and stuctured so it was not difficult to follow at all! Now we are torn between attending his class and Edlynn class on Thursdays! Argh!
SF classes basically focused on stretching techniques. Imagine doing one hour of various stretching exercises, it was slow paced but defintely high intensity. I was pespiring doing the stretches and at the end of it, I felt lighter and definitely need to work on getting more flexible.
Friday. Yay, Labour Day!! No work!! Friday was a long day because I wanted to go for classes in the morning and then from there I wanted to go straight to PASE which starts at 3 pm.
Therefore, I was there by 10.30 am to attend another SF class, this time by a different instructor. Had some time before leaving for PASE so I did the scheduled fitness test that was long overdue.
I found out that I need to lose half of me? Man, that really sucks. Good news is, calories was burning at a good rate and I lost 3.5 kg since the start of April. According to their scale lah, my scale at home says I lost 5 kg but I shall go with the professionals on this one.
While doing the test, when I was almost finishing it, the lunges were exhausting and I wanted to push myself for the last one so that I can finish it off. Before I knew it, everything went dark and I found myself on the floor.
Sharp pain in knee, cannot move at all. In fact I recall hearing 2 cracks sound before dropping to the floor. The trainer who tested me, along with another Philipino trainer came over and checked my knee and since I was not able to move left leg, they told me to stay put. One of them got me an ice bag and while he was gone, one by one, the big muscular trainers came over to check my knee.
Imagine getting the concern from 4 big muscular men? It would be heavenly if I was not in such pain! Haha. I seriously hope it was not anything serious but after testing, the Philipino trainer, which I thought was the friendliest, shot me a worried look when I told him my pain was sideways. He told me to go to the doctor and get it checked immediately.
So I sat there for 1 hour, not being able to get up or move. I cannot put any weight on my left knee at all so walking itself was a challenge. After putting ice and all that, I finally try to get up and walked, limping, to the locker room.
Limped over to a nearby clinic. Apparently, this could either be a fracture or a ligament tear. OK I thought, when is the earliest I can recover so I can get back to training? Get ready for this.
Minimum 1 month.
What???!!! 1 month of no classes? Its only minimum and it can be more?? Oh no that really sucks! Doctor bandage my knee, gave me mc for Monday since there was no way I can walk around the school in this manner. I have to go back to the doctor on Monday, she will check if I need to go for X ray. If it is a fracture, the answer is surgery. If its a ligament tear, she needs to do injection. Either ways, its still money and no classes. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Nevertheless, I refuse to believe that I will take so long to recover. Mind over body. I shall recover in no time.
After that Nurul kidnap me to go to her auntie's place to change and do prayers before PASE. It was impossible to take public transport in this state so I really thank God that Nurul's mum picked us up. I wanted to go home to drop my heavy 2 kg bag but Nurul insisted she carry it for me the whole day.
She actually did.
At the state I am in now, getting around the house is a challenge so I really do not see myself back at work so soon. So hopefully, will know more information by Monday.
Check out my beautiful knee.
PASE was super awesome and I really hate not being able to stand to go hoo haa. BUT EVERYONE from Britt team was so super nice and helped me here and there. Kak Ratna even helped me carry my heavy bag to where I waited for cab. They even wanted to send me home. So sweet. Not forgetting Nurul who helped me carry my bag the whole day. She even come home with me since I had no choice but to to take stairs. So sweet and I am so touched.
Mom was also so sweet to help me get around the house. I learnt that today, I am loved by a lot of people.
I shall make you all proud by going Double Eagle. August 2oo9. 2 Eagle legs. Done deal.

Brought a guest for open meeting. Actually I JUST showed her an overview the day before so to make it to open meeting at such last minute notice was great! It was great and Rin and me are excited! This is one line I shall drive the depth big time!
