Day 156

“Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the BATTLE is started, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.” - Robert Collier

On the 6th of August, there was a BATTLE in True Fitness, Jaya33... a battle within ourselves to achieve new levels of fitness in Body Combat! Haha, so corny! But the above quote rings true - being mentally prepared to stay all the way is all that you need. Don't worry about your stamina levels or whatever-excuse-you-may-have... somehow somewhere you will be able to reach into your reserves and blaze through the warfield!

The "Clash of the Titans" refer to "Titan" Nicholas and "Titan" Terence. Originally schedulled Alex C to be presenting and I asked him, "Eh, what are you doing here! I thought you are not presenting because you can't make it today." Turns out that he couldn't present because of health issues... zomg. T___T So kesian, hope it all turns out well la. Even a non-health-freak like myself will feel damn itchy-butt if I'm banned from the gym, what more a person like Alex C who makes the gym his second home. :\ Regardless, he also joined in the fun and although he did not present, he was on the floor with the rest of the members for some of the tracks.

Started with Angels - DesertStorm for warm up, before going to Final Countdown. After which was ??? (forgot) and Zombies for the jump kick track. Right after that, we had ANOTHER intense track - Hymns (I think) before going to "not a recovery" Behind the Cow. Omg, so cute, Simone, Alex C, Nicholas and Terence all with the horns on their head (er, their fingers la). Why so comel wan. Anyway, Simone & Alex were right in front of me for a couple of tracks which was GREAT because can copy them and try to emulate them as much as possible. :P Macam having personal BC training. Nyek nyek nyek. Oh yesh, Su-Yee was also there --- but taking photographs for the event. Ohayo Su-Yee, you should've joined us as well!

The Muay Thai is from the latest BC36 release, and I forgot the name of the last cardio track we did, but I remember the song! Conditioning was A Little Less Conversation and we had May It Be for cool down. All in all, it was a really great class, was feeling woozy halfway because there was no air-conditioning at all and the room was PACKED! Sometimes, don't even know what we're doing, just following "muscle memory", hahaha.

Before I went for this class (was convinced to go by Pauline), I was telling her, "Theme class ar? But the them is just 'all black', sure no prizes to give away wan." But there were prizes!! It's a tumbler, a table clock and a nifty notepad thingamajig. Each instructor can give away one prize la... I don't know what's the judging criteria. I think it's er... whoever is in front and who they know wtf. After the first two prizes given away NOT TO ME already, sour grapes Leech said, "Haiyah, never mind la, I think I won all those before la." Pauline was :( :( :(, lol. Then the last prize was given away by Terence and he THREW it at me...!!!

Thank you very much! But I think his present-giving skills is bad bad BAD!!! Hahahaha, did he not see how Alex & Nicholas give the presents away? And some more after that when Su Yee ask us to take photograph he was like wandering away across the stage. I swear, the photo will look like I'm the one giving Terence a present.

Okayla, the end. I love True Fitness! Ever since I join, I got so much free stuff! :P So much free stuff until I can give away to my friends. (I gave the present to Pauline since I already have all the prizes... can give away new gym bag next time? The zip to my current bag BROKE. :c ).
