25th March 2009: Fitness First, My First

Nothing much happened seriously, but I just complaint that my Dragon Boat training has been giving me this post-training ache all around the whole of my back body, from the shoulder to the waist. They are like partly soaring ache and partly aching pain.. Really something you wouldn't feel comfortable to be with. And that it persisted right from the day of the last training till this Wednesday and I don't have anyone to show me the way to deal with it.

It is of course one way is to massage it.. Anyone, professional or not. Oh, and by the way, I don't visit massage parlor. Hmm.. Don't wish to be touched by anyone I am not familiar with I guess, and neither am I interested in the environment. Hmm.. And previously, I would ask my dad to do some back massage from my previous back ache, but then again, my dad wasn't around to do it for me this time. Looking around, it's only me and the four walls.. and my hands of course. Although possible, but then over the awkwardness of the arms, I rather not, and anyway, I won't get a good massage by rubbing my back with my own hands =/

Then my friend recommended me to go for a one-time free visit to the Fitness First Gym to drop by and try out their Balance class, can't really remember the name of the instructor though. Anyway, and so I considered and considered as I was as well, quite skeptical over expensive private gym centers. But then, I still did. Oh, and we (me and my friend and he is called Dominic by the way) went down to the Fitness First at The Cathay, and it was cool and we went for the Balance class.

It was really good, with music and moves that stretches and relaxes and cultivates balance to the practitioner. Motions and movements, stretching and twisting.. It did relieved tons of ache almost immediately after the session. And the session lasted for about an hour. And it's really amazing how all these could come in and aid my back aches and stuffs. It sure is one jolly good experience with paying a visit to one of the competitive private gym centers.

Oh and the remaining of the day is all about traveling down to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and travel to evening class from a long bus route from Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. You see, days and days ago, my baby just doesn't respond to starting up right after nine updates were made to it, and just went completely dead right after I agreed to restart it. And the Service Centre is in none other than Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. But lucky to know that the moment I was there and showed my baby to the guy over the desk, he managed to salvage my baby and it's ok le! And I need to pay nothing for it... =D

But then it was all so troublesome to take bus 174 down to Hotel Rendezvous with at least an hour plus travel time and twenty plus minutes to thirty of waiting time. And nevertheless, I was late for class by twenty minutes =_= And the worst come after that, that after I reach the class, I didn't pretty much understand what is being taught in the class for that day and the class ended like an hour later with going through some tuitorial and like always, students with problems stay behind, and the rest can leave.. And that's about it. Pant pant..
