honestly, i thought i was gonna explode in yoga lesson today. Have you ever had a situation where you really really really want to laugh but you are simply not allowed to laugh? In a bid to keep the calm and peaceful atmosphere in the class, i had to clamp my mouth down to stop the snorts of laughter thus emitting strange strangled whimpers.

there's this lady in the 7 o'clock lesson who over exerts every darn postion we do.. For example, the teacher will ask us to get into one position. after a few deep breaths,we would stand there to breathe / relax a while .. but the crazy lady will ke kiang hold it a while more.. even if she can't make it. During the initial part of the lesson, it was okay.. but then her panting gets louder and louder.. her face gets redder by the minute.. and there's some vein threatening to pop out of her neck.. You know how yoga has peaceful soundtracks to accompany it? Well.. her loud panting is similar to a woman giving birth and that is not a peaceful sound. heh.. so there i was.. holding my laughter in.. just looking forward to the end of the lesson so i can go outside heehee a bit.. and i was doing well! till the last part.. the bow position.. basically you lie on your tummy and hold your legs.. and bend your body.. it's honestly my favourite position but today.. i was on the brink of laughter and my tummy was heaving with the effort to hold the laughter in.. you know how you use your tummy to go HO HO HO! ? yeah.. so my bow was kinda rocking like a bloody boat. and i caught christine's eye in the mirror just as the lady gave an extra loud pant.

That was the limit man.. i exploded with a very un-dignified snort and christine had to follow. and we collapsed into a shivering mass of silent shaking. good gawd! i was so embarrassed coz everyone cud see us..(we sat at the back but it was a position requiring everyone to face the back so everyone could see us in the mirror and in real life) that i was desperately trying to swallow back laughter. it was terrible to want to go HA HA HA! but not be able to! while the rest of the class did the postion again, i had to bury my face into my hands and try my best to lower the whimpering.. i could hear christine by my side snorting and moaning away too so that would set me off..My shoulders were quaking so much that i had to summon all the depressing thoughts i could tink of.. but the lady was still panting! i bet the rest of the class must have wanted to kill us!

after that big explosion, i daren't look at the lady next to me coz according to christine, she was shooting daggers with her eyes when we attended last week's 7 o'clock lesson. man.. just cause we giggled a bit during the 8 o'clock lesson when everyone's knees popped.. doesnt mean we don't take yoga seriously. we do.. just not as seriously as the lady who pants.

today's presentation was pretty boring. after 5 mins of listening, i decided to give up pretending that i cared about their water systems and finished my book. come on.. it's kinda obvious they are just looking at the professor who is at the front of the room. and the only burning question i had was whether the 2 presenters in the 2nd grp bought their identical jackets together. still! 2 projects over! 2 more to go!

i hope the group members know that i added in tons of stuff to their report. They told me all i had to do was compile the report.. that everything was done and i was horrified when i saw their report. the question was about the cold and hot water system of the building and there was like 2 paragraphs on that.. there were 7 questions to answer and they had only answered 3 and half.. man! this is the second time i felt appalled when i saw a report.. do people really hand in substandard work like that? the worse part was that when i asked one grp member whether he thot the report can make it (that was before i saw the report).. he said "yes". omg. i nearly broke down on sat but thanks to hanwei and peio, my sanity was saved.. together with loads of chocolate!

in other news.. pearlyn has sent out her official invitations for her 21st party. what does "glamour chic" mean? i have a feeling everyone is gonna wear jeans and some skimpy top plus heels. do the presents have to go with the theme? how do you make blank CDs glamourous? im feeling pretty apprehensive abt going though..sure hope jinyu and hanwei go! if not i be some social moron wandering around like an outcast.. worst come to worst, i'll just eat lots of food.

neela! are we still on for thailand? just tink of all the shoppin! and we have not been together for ages. i really really really miss you! like how we will be talking and you will crack some hilarious shit with a somber face. and ur raised eyebrows.. and how u always listen.. there's no one like you. and! i wanna hear all about the times you got pissed.. a drunk neela wud be interesting! peio! u hafta come too! i dunnoe abt mel .. wonder whether she will be free.. and how abt rebecca? oh shucks she be in usa right? i wonder whether ting can swim back...



they say a friend cares. so why is it when i reach for you, i grasp air? let it go. it goes down the drain not because we can't do anything about it but because we no longer want to do anything about it.


good deed of the day: helping a blind lady up the bus.
