    HAI BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

    I MISS YOU GUYS.

    It feels weird getting online chatting / updating / twittering without any replies. I am truly SO SO SO SORRY that I can’t blog from the Hilton cause :

    - Wifi is FUCKING expensive. US$14.99 for 24 hours?! are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!!!!!!!

    - Which brings me to point 2 – no free wifi from the hilton. WTF.

    - I. have. no. energy.or. time.

    Soooooo let me do a quick summary of things that I can remember [it will be in disjointed sentences because - so kill me nazi grammar police - I am rushing to finish off a blog post and head off to do laundry / grocery shopping - weeeee!]  :

    Monday :

    - 1 class. Room not hot. Body aching.

    - 1st week, take it easy honey! Don’t try to freaking impress Bikram!!!! A girl next to me was trying to force herself during rabbit but she came out with a look of pain on her face. That is not what yoga is about! :(

    - Evening off. Went to wallmart [hate the service there] and got a crockpot, food [canned] and other stuff.

    Tuesday :

    - Room STILL NOT HOT. Barely dripped. Started doing doubles.

    - Shoulders fucking hurt.

    Thursday

    - Stayed up till 3am watching mahabharat and other things. It was REALLY interestng but I was too tired to keep up. Slept with my mouth wide open [Mel took a photo] and woke up to cotton mouth. Bleh.

    - People started complaining and crying. Oh for pete’s sake. Bikram has done this for over 40 years [teaching Yoga] and if you think US$10,500 will compel him to teach YOU EVERYTHING , you are sorely mistaken. You gotta learn most of the things yourself! [ok I feel a few hate comments coming in *gets shields up*]

    - Went out for dinner with Mel [happy 27th birthday roomie!! :D :D :D :D ]

    Friday

    - DELIVERED DIALOGUE TODAY TO BIKRAM. Holy shitballs I crapped my pants, probably farted out of fear. He was smiling after I delivered dialogue [i guess that's good?!?!] and this was the exchange between us after my delivery [believe me, I think I emptied my bowels halfway (been having constipation the past week) ] :

    Bikram : You know, when you stepped up on stage, I was thinking of something. You guys have the same thought?

    Mei : Uhhh….

    Bikram : Hmm, nevermind, I tell you after training. Good job, fantastic.

    Mei : WEE thanks! *scoot off stage*

    So he cornered me AFTER dialogue delivery and gave me a big hug, and tld me when he wanted to say when I was on stage [please hold something before you fall off your chair laughing].

    Bikram : You know, when you first stepped on stage, I thought you were a boy. *laugh. Then you turned around, I saw your boobs and realised you were a girl!

    Mei : *BLUSH*. It’s ok, I get that alot. Sorry I messed up the dialogue!

    Bikram : No no, you did fine.

    Haha! But he was so gracious about it. :D So yeah, gonna grow my hair out when I get back from training.

    ok, gotta run.

    HAPPY SMILING FACE. So damn. fucking. tired.

    *zz.

    M*

    • Oh man, I just laughed SO hard at that story! That is a GOOD one!

      It is so weird getting these one-way only messages from you! But great to see the little stream of updates coming in.

      You should do what my friends did last year… split the wireless cost with your roomie and just buy it on Sundays. It still sucks, but then you pay 7 bucks and have it for the whole day to catch up with the outside world…

      I took Emmy’s class this morning and I wore “your” tank top!! She liked it. She also KILLED us. You get her very soon, have FUN!!

    • thanks for all the words! i can’t believe they charge so much for internet. i’ve really been enjoying your tweets. hooray for you!

    • So it sounds like you’re getting along with your roomie? That’s good! And glad to hear you survived the first week!!! GO MEI! :)

    • Week One, DONE! Way to go Mei! I lookforward to every chance you get to blog and Tweet.

    • Oh.god. Laughing so hard I can’t type….love that story!

    • *refrains from laughing as much as everyone else* :D

    • Congrats on finishing week one and rocking the dialogue!! :)

    • You go girl! It was good to see ya on Sunday! I’ll be down there Saturday to take class with ya.

    • LMAO grow your hair out, like moi.

    • Finally found time to come online!

      woo.. does this mean seeing you online would be next to 0 chance? how are you getting online then?
