Into the gym… (I am not kidding you)

Me? A gym bunny?

No way!!!!

Never in a million will I think that I wills sign up for a gym. You can ask anyone who knows me. I have given people countless excuses to get out of signing up for a gym. My friend, Greg has been trying to convince me to try out a gym since we met at a seminar back in April.

Finally 3 weeks ago, I did. My reason (or excuse) will be that it is because the gym was giving a family package. Seems like a good deal at that time. Though a couple of my colleagues are screaming bloody murder because they fear I might have been cheated. I do not blame them because after all, a major yoga chain just went bust and many customers were left in a limbo. Plus hundreds of thousand ringgit in prepaid services were now non-existent.

Before this particular gym share the same fate, may it be now or the future. I am trying my best to make sure I get my moneyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s worth. Well, I have attended the gym since last week. I took the dance class and capoeira classes which I am loving. I am not sure if I am losing any weight but I did notice that I am no longer hunching.

Then again, it has only been 2 weeks. LetÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s see what happens.

An unexpected phone call delivered the news.

“Congratulations, you were chosen!!”

Now, with the rise of tricksters peddling lies, trying to CONvince you that you have won a milllion ringgit has made me wary. I have received 2 such phone calls before.

However, this time it was different. I did enter this.

Early of the month, I submitted my essay on why I should be chosen to participate in this chance of a lifetime workshop. Early this week, I received an e-mail stating that I was unsuccessful. So I just shrugged and continued with life.

On Friday, a call came. I was actually on the waiting list. Lucky me.

Now, I had to chose between work and this. Thank goodness for wonderful employers and supportive colleagues. We managed to work out a schedule and I am on my way for 2 weeks of Screen Acting training.

Thanks to Astro. Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Arts will be here in KL. Only selected participants are allowed to join.

I can’t wait!
