Life is vunerable whoever, whatever you are......

20,000 leatherback turtles were massacred at one of Trinidad's beaches.... A hotel which is popular with turtle watchers was in danger of flood attack from a nearby river and bulldozers were deployed to carry out peventive works. But the bulldozers dug up a huge chuck of the beach that was un-necessary for the preventive works. With it, they killed about 20,000 eggs and hatchlings......

That just goes to see how effective all those talk about eco friendly, conservation plans are..Somewhere along the line of instructions, something must have gone wrong and caused this to happen. On the hindsight, should that place be marked as a convservation area, the company in charge of the works will think twice before any action..... This is really a rotten way to start the week....

Should you have anything to say or feel the same way as I do that something can be done to prevent this, do sign on this petition.

Mat 1 Completed.....

last weekend was terrific. Had mat course from 4hrs on both Friday and Saturday and 8 hrs straight on Sunday...... Learnt the various mat exercises for Beginner and Intermediate level. Was pretty cool. Then gave my 'frst trial' class. Gosh was so nervous. Blanked out for a minute in front of the class and m really grateful for the coursemates I have who helped gave me clues for the following steps haha.... standing in front of the class is so different when u are lying on the mat waiting for instructions from the teacher. But I am sure I will get better and be able to do a good class. :)

Afterall if I can say so myself I felt that the 2nd round of 'teaching' was much better for the first half when we get to re-teach the exercises that we taught in the morning. So practise makes perfect. Now I can compete with Gabriel. He to practise for his piano pieces and me to deliver my class beautifully.

Next weekend will be Mat 2. This time round I will get myself prepared by looking at the various exercise try them out myself and practise delivering the class so that i will be more familiar with the exercise and not be so nervous and lost standing in front of the class.

Another step closer to my goal ........ to be a certified Pilates Instructor.........

Countdown

5 days from now, i will be at Pilates Inc embarking on my first lesson for MatWork 1.
Mummy has recently introduced me to this new exercise known as 仮佬玩童 exercise. Apparently this exercise helps your body system to purge toxins and aids in the rejevenation of cells etc. Thing is this exercise is to best practised at 5.30am where one's body system is at the best for detoxification and regenerating works.

Perhaps this weekend I shall pull myself out of my cosy bed and kick start the weekend with this supposedly excellent exercise......

The start of a new journey.....

So excited. Next weekend I will be embarking on a new journey towards being a Pilates instructor. I will be taking my Mat 1 & 2 course with The Moving Academy. They are teaching the Balanced Body School of Pilates which is slower and it focuses more on building your core muscles but it still can make you sweat.

Till then I have to go hit the books and start locating my muscles least I get lost in class.....

Pilates - My route to certification......

This time round I am determined to embark on a new journey....taking on a Pilates Course. Learning how to do it and guide others. learning all the various flexsors, extendors muscle groups is the fisrt step to take and I have taken it haha.... Following which i will go register myself for the course and then 2 weekends of classes followed by the observation classes, own practice and teaching classes..... target to get ready for exam - 6 mths from the date i complete my course on 8 Jul 2012.

Fast Car....

Gabriel went on car trip with uncle and grandma.

Grandma (to Garbriel's uncle): Wei Yu, you just got your license, do drive carefully and don't drive so fast like your brother in law.

Gabriel : grandma, who is brother in law?

Grandma : your daddy

Gabriel : but grandma, my daddy don't drive very fast.

Grandma : Who says he don't drive fast... he drives very fast..

Gabriel: grandma, can you see my daddy's car when he drives?

Grandma : yes, i can see your daddy's car when he drives

Gabriel : well, in that case my daddy is not driving very fast, else you will not be able to see his car. Fast car zooms past.

Grandma : .....(speechless)

Singaporeans are LOSING our home country soon!!

Looking at the news online about how a PRC family complained about their Indian neighbour cooking curry and managed to get them to not cook when they are not at home... we Singaporeans are doomed to lose our home country.... Singapore will not be know as Singapore for long.
I think we will be known as Interpore or Chinapore in future.

Even the semi government, CMC are siding the PRCs, where is our place in Singapore.... In the past, pple laments that they are not born in Singpaore due to her stability and stable government, Now we Singaporeans LAMENTs being born a Singaporean for we have no standing even in our own home contry. What bullshit is that in the theme in this year's National Day Parade.... All bullshit....
What is all this talk about calling all SIngaporean to move forward.... I think the government is asking all Singaporeans to move out to give space to Foreigners so they can bring Interpore to greater heights.
Pause to reflect what the Singapore Spirit is..... the spirit for Singaporeans is to change our way of living and adopt those of the FT..... The old saying of Do what the Romans do when in Rome does not apply here..... here is Singapore is Do what the 'invaders' do when in Singapore.

The theme for NDP 2011
Majulah! The Singapore Spirit is a rally cry that calls on all Singaporeans to move forward together to bring Singapore to greater heights, to excel in our diverse fields of work and play and to realise our fullest potential. Through the theme, we hope Singaporeans will pause to reflect and discover what the Singapore Spirit means to them. In sharing and passing on the Singapore Spirit to our children, and our grandchildren, we seek to strengthen our roots and at the same time inspire future generations to build a better home, a better Singapore
