* OUCH ..The Pilates experience *
Up and faraway from the hassle of the hospital, there on the 6th floor of NUH is where a relatively small roof garden is located. A stark contrast from the hospital's dead,dull environment, the roof garden was a great relief. Being located so isolated from the hospital grounds, it seemed only staffs know of its existence. The roof garden overlooks the children clinic below and forestry beyond and the other side of it faces NUS and more of forest. Tucked well into the 6th floor and some walk from the roof garden is NUH GYM...omg there's a gym! The staffs at the gym handles all the courses avaliable. Opposite the gym, a staff lounge. An area built for courses with mirrors.
So there at the staff lounge i experienced my 1st Pilates class. I was a BIT nervous. I used to b so scared/unaccustomed to doing anything alone that i probably didn't want to go out without a company. Much less explore new things without a company where i could sought some solace, some comfort, some assurance that pple are not glaring at mi. I'm abit over reacting, oversensitive, low confidence as u can probably deduce by now. I don't know since when i realised that i've changed. It doesn't bother me to b alone with myself and my inner voice whole day. Muz b this lab job that made mi bond with my inner voice. Well at least something gd came out of it. OF cos i wished i had frens to accompany me. BUT pple have different things to commit to. I can't expect everyone to b interested in wat i wan to do either. SO i've decided rather than wait for frens to do things with me, i shall not wait any longer and do it myself. The adrenaline pumping u know. So excited that i'm gonna do something new. Unfortunately i really hate the feeling of being clueless and donoe wat's going on or wat i shd b doing and i've got no frens to consult and in front of me the pple know each other and they are chatting happily. Sobz. OUch.Anyway no prob lar..i juz sit there like an idiot lor.
http://www.pilatesmethodalliance.org/whatis.html Pilates was tedious. No meditation of sort. The whole 1 hr we were stretching and working our abdominal muscles,leg muscles and back muscles. It's meant to streghten these muscles, thru breathing excercise and all....my whole body is aching like crazy esp my abs.........i'm so unfit. Halfway thru the thing and i'm like i wish i can juz give up and continue lying on the mat. But i gez it's gd excercise, imediately after that i felt my posture improving and my breathing is definetely much clearer and with much much much ease. I'm juz dying of aches now. Anyway this course is cheap. Cost $50 for 12 lesssons. Damn cheap.
