Which Tracks Do I Like?

When conducting classes, I usually mix and match and only repeat tracks after I've not played them in a while. I think this gives members a good exposure of the tracks in BC, and let them have a taste of different tracks which may be less popular. As for myself, it keeps things fresh and is less boring for me.

So someone asked me, I don't really know what are your favourite tracks. So here they are... in no order

On Repeat Mode

Have you ever really seen the rainbow
Have you ever really touched the blue blue sky
Have you ever really seen a falling star
Here me cry tonight

Don't you never let me go
Don't you ever let it show
I will cry in the SEA OF LOVE
The stars will always shine
And I'm gonna make you mine tonight
Tonight
I want you, I need you
And my heart is beating softly baby
If you leave me, deceive me
I will never see the sun rise again

I'm addicted.

BC37

Just finished watching BC37. How time flies. Has 3 months gone by just like that? The good thing about LM is that the new releases keep the anticipation going, and there's always something fresh to perk us up.

Looking at the new release, looks like there's gonna be a few tracks that I'm "lovin' it".

T2 - Beat It
T5 - How Far We've Come
T8 - Sea Of Love (my favourite thus far)

I think the MT and cool down are looking good too!

Reply To Comments

When I write entries, I usually let readers arrive at their own conclusions and don't reply to comments. I don't know who's reading and what others think, so sometimes I may be taken out of context.

With regards to the previous entry about Coca-Cola, it was mistakenly construed as an implicit reference to gym matters. While I do not deny that I started this blog for the purpose of updating my LM affairs, once in a while I do use it for random thoughts.

There's a few things in my life that probably needs to be prioritised over gym matters. I am facing time constraints and have limited time to think about gym stuff, let alone worry about the changes taking place. Even though it's no longer a main priority, my passion hasn't faltered, but one day it will, just like many of my past interests.

This brings me to a question I asked a few months back. Do I consider myself as a gym instructor or a LM instructor. As time passes by, I find the answer glaringly obvious to the face.

I would have gone quarterly if it hadn't clashed with my company trip. I registered for a training despite not having intention to teach the program. I booked myself for an Auckland trip. I still attend classes if I can spare the time.

And I rushed home from work today just to get my hands on something new...

As for the last bit on Coca-Cola, like what Lynn says, I am very extreme. It's difficult for me to be a Libran and be neutral to almost everything. I either like it or I don't. I like Coca-Cola and I don't like Pepsi. So once I've settled on something I like, it's very hard to change my mind. Almost impossible, I would say.

Coca-Cola

I'm the sort of person who knows what I want, and if I can't have what I want, then I'll rather not have anything at all.

If I want Coca-Cola and there's no Coca-Cola, then I'll rather not have it.

Bits and Pieces

Had a relatively light day today, but the days ahead for the month of August are likely to be long. Left office at 730pm, was about to head to STC to gym before a SMS diverted me to BC at China Square.

I do feel sad to a certain extent, seeing at how PF will cease to exist in a few months time or even sooner, depending on how fast the transition will take place. I was sad when FES closed down, but now I feel like an orphan without a place of belonging. Anyone else identifies with that?

Today was a mix of purely old tracks, Nathaniel and Gabby days. Sad to say, I would have preferred the newer, more up-tempo tracks. The old tracks were kinda slow and it was hard to get my engine going. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the little workout I had. Need all the stress relieving activities I can possibly get.

Time to do all those personal admin, such as i-banking funds which I owe friends for meals, checking if my pay is in, paying those monthly bills for hp, internet, etc...

I finally settled on my accomodation for Auckland. It was a choice either between Latitude (http://www.latitude.co.nz) which I stayed the last time round or Oaks (https://www.theoaksgroup.com.au/Property.aspx?sid=23).

I decided to give Oaks a try this time round to see which one I prefer, and to give myself an option should I return again. And the reason why I booked today was because the NZD is starting to rally and I'm afraid it will go up further. At about parity (1 SGD to 1 NZD), it's looking good value. I've even got a good mind to get some NZD now for spending, perhaps try my luck at the casino.

I will need to spend some time at the casino to utilise my excess free time. I can't possibly do 4-5 classes a day, that would be bordering on suicide from physical exertion.

I've got another day to spare in AKL now cos I noticed an anomaly in many of the bookings. Apparently, a weekly booking (7 nights) translates to a cheaper bill compared to 6 nights as the weekly rate is lower. Hence, I booked myself for 7 nights to utilise the free night.

Then after I booked my accomodation, I realised that it was silly to book 7 nights and only stay for 6, so I went to amend my air tix to leave one day earlier. So it's one more day in AKL, hopefully I'll spend more time at LM gym and see if I can catch a glimpse of the new releases before filming.

All these to motivate me for a final push for the month end. I desperately want to make this trip FREE.

Too Many Things, Too Little Time

Sometimes I really wonder if I'm biting off more than I can chew. There are only that many hours a day, and I'm constantly finding myself short of time. Time to do the things I want (like watch the Olympics), time to run my errands, and most importantly, time to rest.

Even as I'm writing this entry, I'm multi-tasking and watching Man Yoo play Newcastle. The new season has started and I reckon my weekends will be occupied catching my favourite sport. I've a good idea to get myself started on a football management game but I'm not sure if I can afford the time.

It's been more than 2 years since I started working 12hr days, but in the past it was 7 to 7, before conducting weekday Combat classes 3 days a week. Now it's 8 plus to 9 plus and I go straight home in a cab. No time to meet my friends for dinner, no time to attend classes, no time to go and buy the stuff that I need.

I'm hoping my little gamble pays off in the longer run. But right now, I'm settling well.

I'm starting to treasure weekends more but time really flies. Half of my Saturday is gone conducting 2 classes, but I have no complaints. I need the workout and I still enjoy doing what I do. Yesterday was a mad rush for me, I had a gathering with my training mates at Orchard, before rushing to TPY to meet the Cancerians and 1 Gemini for our little Crabby dinner.

I guess I must have been really tired, as Jean and WL both mentioned that I looked a bit dazed. I think I probably zoned out. After which, we still went to TCC for desserts.

And even for today, I can't believe that Sunday's over already. I went out for family dinner, and after that did some shopping, including getting myself a new mattress which I've been pushing till now since I got no time.

I've succumbed to the 'spend whatever I feel like' syndrome, which Lynn attributes to me being stressed. I spent about $1k today, but the bulk of it went to the mattress and bringing my family for a nice meal, so that probably won't register as a regular expense.

Had my regular foot massage, a nap, and here we are. End of the weekend.

Another long week beckons. I'm really looking forward to going away for a break. Part of the reason why I chose Auckland over Europe was probably I needed a stress-free holiday where everything is slow-paced. I don't think I'll be able to handle 3 girls on a 2-week Europe trip where we have to visit 4 countries (with many budget air and hostels in between).

Auckland Redux

I've just done something silly, somewhat rash. I just booked myself for a trip to Auckland for the filming later this year. I know what Lynn is going to say, I'm under severe stress and I probably will just do anything to seek immediate gratification.

Well, it's not that complex either. I was just surfing the Singapore Airlines website when I thought I'll just spare myself the torture and constant deliberation by just making an immediate booking.

28 Oct (Tue) - SQ285 (SIN-AKL)
04 Nov (Tue) - SQ286 (AKL-SIN)

28 Oct is a date I remember. My first class among many other things. My mind's in a mess, and I haven't figured out where to stay etc, though I'll probably opt for Latitude (www.latitude37.co.nz) again for its proximity, convenience and familiarity.

I was really half deciding between Europe with my friends and going Auckland again, but a couple of things really swung in favour of Auckland. Firstly, the Europe dates sort of clash with my work schedule, and I'll probably have to meet my friends somewhere in the middle of Europe. Secondly, I don't have a full year of leave entitlement to allow me to enjoy a nice long Europe trip. Last but not least, look at where NZDSGD is heading. 0.98 and even lower? I hope it goes lower please. So my trip will be cheaper.

Anyway the air tix already cost me a bomb, $1,984 to be precise. Not to mention accomodation, meals, miscellaneous expenses, but there's definitely a belief within me that money can be earned back, but experiences can't be bought.

I'm not setting my expectations too high after the Global Summit, but I guess I should pursue this while my passion for LM still burns. I've been to Europe before, but I guess a full trip should be done later when I accumulate more finances so I get to enjoy a proper holiday, not those where I need to scrimp and save.

So that means extra effort at the workplace to ensure that this trip is FOC for me. As if I'm not f**king stressed already!
