My First Boxing Training

My trainer (standing second from left). He said I need alot of WORK !
Today is the forth day after my first session after my very first outdoor-training-boxing class and my muscles are still aching. I thought it was a group exercise but I had the trainer all to myself. It's NOT a good thing. I don't mind after I've got a hang of this torture, say after a couple of classes. It'll be GREAT to have a personal trainer to correct my technique.  But this is my first class.... and I can't tao-kai !!! My trainer was great, he spent a couple of years in KL during his schooling days when his dad was posted there. Small world, he was staying in Mont Kiara, just the NEXT suburb from mine ! 

He tried to make the session abit more enduring for me by counting the reps in Bahasa. It did not help. Towards the end of the session, speed work. I felt like puking and shouted kenot !!! So funny ! I've left KL 3 years now and I can't stop the accidental mouth fart of manglish (Malaysian English)... hehehe...

So did I puke in the end ? No... kept it all IN ;-p  Me-malu-fying if I did !

Do I want to continue the torture ? Hell, YES !

The Secret Language of Sleep - The Colon

I am a colon!
Find your own pose

Colon Traits and Tendencies
The Colon is the chosen pose of individuals who, on their own, seem awkward or remote. They may be the sort who responds to telephone messages with email, or spends their lunchtimes quietly pedometer-walking in lieu of socializing with coworkers. But when a Colonist finds its mate, together they acquire a grace and ease that surprises friends and family.

Comfort Zone
The Colon is one of the Sea Sleeper poses. Other Sea poses you might try: The Ticket Puncher and Sixth Posture of the Perfumed Forest.

A Note About Coping
Since Colonists rely so heavily on their partners to give them context and spark, the times when business or family obligations take one of them away from home can leave both sleepers demoralized. To temporarily fill the void, swap in a large, carnival-sized stuffed animal, making sure to keep candles, space heaters, or other combustibles well away from the bedside.
