Yoga

Another introduction done by my wife recently - joining Pure Yoga.

It was indeed a new experience. During the 1 week free trial, I was totally enjoying the Hot Yoga lessons, where u do the yoga poses in a hot room. You would be sweating like hell, and I have difficulties doing the poses. Partly due to the hot environment, but also partly due to stiffness. Either way, its not as simple as I thought it is.

Then came the spiritual part of yoga where you are taught to feel your thoughts, connect them, be aware of them and control them. This part was the most surprising discovery.

It could sound boring to those who haven't experience yoga, but I thought it was addictive for me. After a few lessons of yoga I felt physical changes. I felt I was healthier, felt I was more alert. Maybe these changes were why I joined in the end.

I felt it was a good investment. Yoga is a cardio exercise where u work your heart more than your physical muscles. During soccer, I used to run out of breath before I turned jelly legs. Now, i turned jelly legs before i run out of breath.

Physical changes coupled with mental awareness made me splash that $3k for 2 years unlimited contract. I think its money well spent if I continue doing it.

There has been some mishap recently, where my close cousin brother, a year older than me, had a close shave with heart attack during soccer. He experienced sharp chest pains and was diagnosed with an 100% blocked artery. It was lucky that he didn't delay going to the hospital, it could have been much, much worse.

Nonetheless, it was a wake up call for us to continuously invest in our body. We tend to take our body for granted when we were younger. It was always functioning for us. As we age, we pushed our body as though it does not tire because we didn't know it needed a break. That's suicide. Thats the problem, we tend to take things for granted. Which is why, we should be grateful for everything that happens to us. Yes, even negative things. If we have faith, we will pull through somehow.

Work has been smooth. 3 projects secured. Now its up to myself how I manage them to maximise profits. Afterall, its up to me. Nobody to turn to for advice except myself.

I realised that this blog shows up in google search and is trying to disable that. I'm writing for myself, a way to release my thoughts and also to continue practise writing in proper english. You would find many Gramar mistakes but at least this is different from writing on Facebook and whatsapps.

This will be my diary and will serve a interesting reminder of my life when I look back in old age. It will be fun!
