Funny that when I was working in KL I managed to rush home and got ready for 6.15 pm aerobics class. But when I started working in Shah Alam, I just couldn’t reach the 6.15 target. Couldn’t or wouldn’t ?
Am thinking very hard how I managed it since my working hours were from 9-6 and in Shah Alam a more manageable 8.45 to 5.45. It boggles the mind.
Especially since I couldn’t manage the company’s Yoga Class every Friday. Ha ha… Itu in house tu. Nuts.
Anyway, I loved going to the aerobics class at sek 7. I went with Kamalia last time and we had fun line dancing, doing yoga and sweating our butts bersenam-robik. The aerobics classes were good as the instructor incorporated yoga and pilates in the programme.
For the past few months I have been thinking about taking it up again. However when I passed Speedy in OU hari tu, had an ephiphany, went in and picked out a pilates video. Senang kan… boleh buat kat rumah aje.
The hard part though was paying for it. Aku kan ada penyakit segan tak bertempat, so I handed it to Umar with some money. From the safe distance outside of the shop, I saw Umar talking pleasantly with the cashier. I saw them laughing and smirking and I got a bit suspicious.
“What did you guys talked about ?” I asked Umar.
“Oh.. that guy asked sapa punya video ni..” He answered, sniggering all the while. Kureng asam punya cashier.
“And … what did you say ?”
“I said it is for you because maybe you are a bit fat lah nowadays….” His smiles now turned sheepish. Memang nak kena belasah budak ni. Ngan cashier cashier tu sekali kena.
Anyway, I put it on as soon as I got home, my children crowding me, watching like a hawk. I have to tell you it wasn’t easy, okay. The first ones memanglah senang and Elsa kept saying, “Mummy pandai ikutlah. You are so clever lah , Mummy….”, and “Pandainya…..” Ha ha…
Then as the video went on, it got more and more difficult and I was making noises that wasn’t encouraging.
“Susahnya !!” I panted at one point.
“Mummy… don’t do it, Mummy. Why don’t you rest for awhile ?” Suggested Elsa.
I soldiered on.
“Oh my God !” That was from me again and Elsa went, “Mummy… susah ke ? Don’t do it then, Mummy….”
Another grunt and “I think I am going to break my back !”, Umar spoke out, “Mummy… that is enough lah. Why do you want to break your back ?”
I went down limping after that and feeling every muscle in my body. Couldn’t laugh for a week as it hurt, okay. Dan kept saying that the video must be good then if it hurts me. Hmmm….
I tried it again a week after that and once more my kids became the spectators.
“Be careful, Mummy. Please remember that you do not want to break your back…” Warned Umar. It was a bit better this time around as I already know what to expect but I still made references to my back. Because it hurts. A lot.
Kebetulan Ian came over after I finished contorting myself this way and that and when Umar saw Ian, he blurted out, “Uncle Ian, Mummy almost break her back again, today…” And termalu-malulah aku explain. Especially when Mr McQuistan asked, “Why are you doing it, Myra ?” Apo nak di jawabnya ?
Cess ! Ko ni kan semua nak cerita kat orang tau !!
Waaaaaaaa !!!
