my first yoga lesson

Well, since all my housemates went back to their hometown and i got nothing to do during this long weekend, so i decided to start my yoga lesson on today. Drove lonely to the "Origin Yoga Studio" which nears to Sentosa Food Court there and having my lesson there. I like the environment of that studio although not with the very highclass decoration but the facilities there is quite sufficient. The yoga teacher is quite friendly and nice too, she purposely teach all those steps by using dwi-language--english and hokkien, because i am the only person there who don't understand hokkien well. Whole week did'nt go for sport after cny break and i felt comfortable after sweating alot today. ^_^
