Super sian cos of my contacts lenses giving me problem. Too dry suddenly and one side dropped off. Thought of buying it at Spectacles Hut and so I went right away. Was given many choices but all seems expensive. I took a bi-weekly one since that's e only one with my high power of 800 degrees each, it's very cheap for 3 pairs at $28+ but I dunno why e left side is still so dry and hurting and blur even! i find that e contact lens dun really stay long on my eyes. Dripped a few drops of eye drops but it doesn't help much. That's why when I go for e aerobics class, I couldn't concentrate with e irritating feeling that my contact lenses caused.
Came out from ofc at 6.30pm to meet Jean at the bus stop, missed e stupid bus and class will start at 7pm. Was thinking that since it's already 6.50pm, we might as well take a cab so that we can get to the community centre quickly. Who knows e bus came but no cabs were in sight. All turning into the taxi stand and we waited in vain for a cab to come after 5mins or so. At 1st there's a cab but he dun want to send us there after hearing e location. Then another one pop by. We were so glad but then, e starting charge was freaking expensive - $5 with peak hour surcharge somemore. Reached destination which is only like 3 to 4 bus stops away at $10.40 but e cab driver charged us $10. Stupid thing was that we were still late for 10 mins, if we took e bus earlier on, think we will also reach ard e same timing. Really a bad hair day!
Got changed and entered e class at 7.15pm and e instructor was still giving e briefing like some orientation. Getting to know our names and whether do we do exercise often or have any aerobics experience. So in short, the class hasn't commence. Make us rush like mad. Then from e way she talks, I find that she's rather strict or should i say professional? There are students only joining the class on the day itself and she made them register downstairs right away and said it won't be fair for e rest who has registered earlier on. She has 12 yrs of experience working in this line and not only teaching in community ctrs but other places as well.
She says that many pple thinks that aerobics is easy with e steps but it's different when u are doing it. Some gave up after one to two lessons. She told us that we must always bend our knees a little so that we won't injure our knees or ligament during e exercise. She says she will only be teaching us the basic steps for the 1st lesson and we need to breathe and not hold our breath throughout the class and we can take small sips of water during break and not gurgle down e whole bottle of water. She will teach according to the class' pace - depending on how fast we can coordinate. she told us it's ok not to buy a pair of aerobics shoes if we only have aerobics once a wk unless we have other aerobics classes. I think she also advised us not to get running shoes bcos it's hard for us to balance on it. then wad to buy? sports shoes? i dun rem!! *oh no*
She started us off with the warm up exercise b4 turning on e music with the basic steps. marching to the front, clap, marching backwards, clap, marching sideaways, basic walk - out out in in, double single to the sides, kicking backwards, cha cha to the left and right.. i think i got really confused at times and it's so fast! i think i'm like moving all over e place but e rest seems to be quite pro, esp. those standing in front. they did exactly like how e instructor demonstrated and i just have to look at them. dun forget, it's only e basic without fanciful actions, what if it's combined with e rest, i think i might just give up like what e instructor says. *tough*
i'm supposed to attend smth that is not so stressful so i think i can forget abt joining dance classes where i need to rem the steps. hahaha. that's abt all.. next wk i have to leave ofc on e dot so as to avoid being late.
