I was so tired by this class I hardly remember anything except my splits still suck.
And we did some partner back stretching with nearly broke my back..
And the towel stretching thing.. I think my arms nearly came out of their sockets.
*goes back to mugging*
Oh, looks like I don't have time to go for any more classes.. What a waste of money. :(

Intermediate 1 Pole Lesson 6! (Make up)
Doing my inverted side split was like buying Toto.
Sometimes can make it sometimes cannot. :(
New moves learnt:
I forgot the name. LOL!
It's just like a opposite Vanessa.. Leg goes around the pole from the back instead of the front. I have the feeling I can't do it if I'm not wearing heels 'cos I'll break the skin on my foot. O_O
Kate Moss- reverse stag- IFTN.
Added choreography:
Get-up
Body roll against the pole
Bow
Jeez, wouldn't have expected the ending moves to be THAT DIFFICULT. LOL!

Pole Practice 2!
Managed to do my inverted V, inverted front split and inverted center split!
Did some of the choreography also- my timing sucks -_-
I can't balance as well when I'm wearing my heels! :(

Intermediate 1 Pole Lesson 4! (Make Up)
It's so weird the choreography changed and I got totally lost and fall all over the place or lose my timing completely.
Best part is the last lesson I went for, the choreography was taught exactly the same way it was but other classes all learnt the new one already! WTF.
New moves learnt:
(From Sunita before class)
Kneeling into low knee spin
High knee spin into frank get down
Sitting sideways with bent knees
(Why does sitting on the pole always hurt like a biatch?!?!)
(During class)
Upside down V
Upside down side split
Open legged Jamella
New choreography:
Butt rolls: RLRR LRLL
L leg back + up on pole + 2 hip rolls
Reverse stag, land in front of pole in truck girl position
Roll L, push up and kneel slowly
Head roll + get up
Jamella (land on left of pole)
High spin climb + hair flip + split at back of pole
L leg up + get up into squat position
2 hip rolls + stand up
Invert
Handstand + get down into kneeling position
Head roll + get up
Butt rolls: RLRR LRLL
L leg back + up on pole + 2 hip rolls
Reverse stag, land in front of pole in truck girl position
Roll L, push up and kneel slowly
Head roll + get up
Open-legged Jamella (land on left of pole)
High spin climb + hair flip + split at back of pole
L leg up + get up into squat position
2 hip rolls + stand up
ARGH the upside down split hurts my ******! I need to find a way to use my abs to support my body weight against the pole damnit!
Plus I busted my back landing on one of the bolts AND got nasty scratches from all the sand on the floor. And also fell in all sorts of weird positions cos I was feeling weakkkkkkkkkkk. Damn period.

National Secret!
Disclaimer: This post was made in jest and should not be taken seriously in any way.
AHA! I had a major epiphany recently about why Singaporeans are all so unobservant, insensitive and unresponsive!
There has been a national breakout of the ZOMBIE VIRUS! It started a couple of years ago... But nobody knows about it because everyone has been trying to hush it up! There is high suspicion that the virus has been brought into the country by foreigners from a certain country. (Cannot be named here, just in case..)
Proof 1
Look around you outside and observe: in shopping malls, Singaporeans can only walk straight and even bang into you! In comparison, foreigners (most noticeably Caucasians, but only because you can't really differentiate between Malaysians and Singaporeans) move out of the way long before collision time.
And it is quite obvious which people brought the Zombie Virus into Singapore, and you can find out for yourself using a very simple experiment!
In a shopping mall or outside, try moving out of the way of someone else walking towards you. There will be one of three responses:
1. Person continues walking straight staring blankly. (the infected Singaporean!)
2. Person got out of your way long before you got out of theirs. (clean foreigner)
3. Person walks into your path despite the large clearance you gave them. (the original infected!!!!)
Proof 2
Still in the shopping mall or MRT station:
Lots of Singaporeans walking super slowly blocking up the entire pathway, apparently unaware of anything going on around them. Even when going up close to them and saying "Excuse me!" at an obviously audible volume, they STILL did not notice you and continue on their slow zombie walk, completely oblivious to the fact that the entire pathway ahead of them is clear BECAUSE they are blocking the way.
Proof 3
On the road:
Driving without knowing what is going on around them. *sigh*
Anyone ever noticed? You flash your signal to change lane and NOBODY EVER LETS YOU IN. That's because they are ZOMBIES and can't see your signal!
Try driving in Malaysia. It's totally different and everyone has 10x the reaction speed of Singaporean drivers.
Case in point: Rainy weather. The moment it rains in Singapore we get at least 5 major accidents causing traffic jams around the country. If they can't even brake in time when it's raining, they MUST be infected!
(You don't get pile ups like that in Malaysia when it rains. Proven.)
This is why I never drive in Singapore.
Proof 4
Introduction to the BIG YELLOW LINES:
Remember being in Primary schools where there were big yellow lines drawn to split the stairs into two and arrows to show where you should be walking up and down? Remember the canteens where the same big yellow lines were also drawn to show where the queue should be?
And you know those big yellow lines worked because Primary school kids are always obedient and already have the IQ to follow simple instructions, as well as lines and arrows.
Those big yellow lines disappear as you enter Secondary school, because by then people know how to behave properly without being treated like Primary school kids.
MRT Stations:
NOBODY understands lines and arrows in the MRT Stations. EVERYDAY, ALL THE TIME, you see people standing right smack in the middle of the doors before they even open.
Question: HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO GET IN IF YOU DON'T LET PEOPLE OUT???
The only possible reasons I can come up with for people not understanding lines and arrows are:
1. They are aliens.
2. Their IQ is lower than Primary school kids'.
(which is none because zombies have no brains!)
Since people in the MRT stations look like human beings, Option 2 is the only probable answer.
**********
Okay, now that I have proven my case, you must be wondering: HOW TO AVOID BECOMING ONE OF THE INFECTED???
It's simple:
1. Avoid cursing at the zombies or they will turn around and eat your brain.
2. Never ever be completely absorbed using your cellphone in public areas. Whilst you are unaware of your surroundings, the zombies will attack and you will become one of them!
3. Just avoid over-populated areas. Zombies just love to gather in crowds to celebrate the non-existence of their brains together.
Good luck surviving in Singapore! :)

Flexibility 4!
ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH.
I bet Yohanna doesn't have joints at all 'cos hers can go like 360 degrees around or something! :@
Was a painful day of trying to open up our joints with butterfly partner stretches and swastika positions and splitszxzxzx.
:( I still suck!

Hmm. Not been feeling well this week so can't remember much...
Class was taken by Yohanna, lots of splits as usual and I'm almost the worst in class, as usual... damnit, even people taking it for the first time are better off. Damn my joints and stiff muscles!
Front splits are still at a painful 5 inches off the ground and side splits even further. *sigh* My knee ligaments hurt, I can't push it too hard or else I won't even be able to walk. Looks like I need more time to get there :(
Sitting Vs are definitely improved at about 140 degrees but been stuck there for a couple of weeks now. Same goes with the lying down splits.
I can't stretch properly today (one day after), the muscles and joints are aching!
