Always wanted to pick up Yoga ever since end 2007.
My back hurt so much due to my desk bound job.
And due to the feng shui my back suffered even more cos i am sittin in a totally awkward position.
And you dun wanna know.
So i've decided, i am going to try Yoga to fix my back and fine tune to posture.

It was my first lesson yesterday at Pure Yoga & i attended Hartha 1. So what is Hartha 1?
Hatha 1 is a standard, all levels class. Excellent conditioning for the body, breath and mind. Ideal for beginners.
And I was totally fooled by it! It was in a fast paced manner and i almost wanna puke half way thru. I was expecting meditation most of the time cos we received comments like, ''Oh! Yoga is so relaxing.'' & '' It's fun! you should try!''....
i just got sabotaged by my own friends...
Lol. Actually, its not their fault lah. Its the instructor was being too enthu already.
The best part is i've booked a Restorative Yoga lesson on Saturday cos my consultant told me that i will have muscle ache on the following days. It is great for remedying injuries.

After yoga, Jofin & i went to Blue Basil for late dinner.
The owner was nice enough to still serve us dinner even though they are preparing closing already.
The food was alright, they also served Archipelago beer and thats my favourite. The sorbet was the best! It tasted exactly like mojito!

Jofin was a regular there so the 3 of us started chatting up alot.
The owner is a knowledgeable Indian guy who does Yoga too! So we talked about Yoga most of the time.
He told us that we should go for Yoga for a purpose.We should learn to acheive to have a good mind, good body & good soul. I know it sounds lame but he motivated me! He also cleared my doubt about Yoga's certain pose = welcoming Indian god spirits to your soul. I got this info from my colleague who is a christian & strongly disapprove me going for yoga. He assured me that there is nothing to do with anything spiritual.
The most important part is (if you do Yoga too) to do Yoga before the sun rises (6ish in the morning?) in order to receive energy from the Sun. I should double up my research on Yoga now!
He keep mentioning to have FAITH in anything you believe in. Sounds like a priest huh. Ha!

But i really salute this guy cos he used to be a director from a big company who help bring business to 3000 restaurants, drove fancy car & lived in a nice apartment . He gave all these up for his dream, that is to open up his own restaurant.
Business wasn't that good so he pulled in help from all the vendors whom he helped before. One of them rejected him and told him that he used to be up there & have the power but you're nothing now.
That's Reality-check! For his restuarant, he have to learn how to use ezlink card & take bus & so on.

''What do you see yourself be doin in 5 years time?''
Me? ''MANAGER!'' i said that cos i don't wanna lose face. But the fact is i am so aimless la.
He then told us to set our goals in the coming 10 years. He set his and hit everything on the list, difference maybe in the timing, 1 to 2 years slower.

So if you want some good beer & motivation, go to Blue Basil. =)
