i finally joined the gym. there was an initiation fee of USD150 and a monthly membership of USD110. as i had already missed the first 7 days of January, they gave me a pro-rated fee of USD95 for January 2008. (still feels weird writing and typing "2008"... it's the beginning of the year syndrome. i remember feeling even weirder when the year 2000 started... that was what, 8 bloody years ago?! yikes!)

well, the money has been spent. (i spend my money, i might add. keke.) so i have to go use the gym regularly to make it worthwhile. no more excuses. i started with hi/lo class last evening. nearly died as it's been almost 10 months since i'd gone to an aerobics class, and a long long time since i'd moved any of my limbs. (other than my fingers scrolling the mouse and double-clinking on the weblinks.) was hyperventilating near the end and had to step outside the room to catch my breath. aiyoh... me tis very old.

now my calves are still achey though the rest of me seems fine. looks like i hadn't really worked out yesterday... it's kickboxing this evening. pray that i won't faint.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
