Flying Yogi Rescue

Attended the meet Matthew Sweeney event at Pure Yoga earlier tonight with Yvette and YP. Boyo it was really well turned out by >100 people, all packed and crammed into the reception area. Matthew gave a 20 min demo and it was really quite impressive. It was as if he was a featherweight flying between poses, it was all so silent and graceful. Quite unlike the elephant landings u hear when a yoga student is attempting those vinyasa jumpbacks. And watching him forward and backward bends (into urdva danurasana) repeatedly, ouch, my back just hurts watching that. His spine is like rubber. But well, he started yoga at age 16, and I guess it pays off. I think for me, it's pretty hopeless as I don't think I'll ever get to such a stage. Hamstrings too tight lah. YP brought Lenny along and to his credit he slept throughout the noise of 100 pple chattering and barely fussed. Maybe he has some potential to be a yogi too. Good to start young. Already can put his foot into his mouth. :P

Attended a first aid course this afternoon, sponsored by the office. A lady from St. John's gave the talk, it's just basic first aid but wah, her use of singlish is macham powderful. My Englishman colleague could barely understand her. But she's real funny. Ok honestly, I don't think I will remember all those steps I need to do in an emergency situation where I might have to give first aid. I'll likely just panic and start yelling and screaming and flap around like an anxious hen. But I guess if I HAVE to give CPR, I could probably do it. Just hope I don't break any ribs. Errrm.
