Classes

It's been a really busy week for me! This week, I started my yoga and French classes. The experiences at both classes varied greatly. Yoga was almost a nightmare as the instructor expected us to be superb contortionists! I am totally out of shape(probably the worst in class and after 15min, I was very tempted to give up the class. Nevertheless, I found out that I could actually take things slowly and do whatever I could do. Along the way, those of us who could not do certain stunts were smiling and giggling to each other as we struggled to stretch our very-inflexible bodies.

French was on the other hand a breeze, probably I used to do French and it was a matter of recalling what I used to know. There were only 2 of us in the class at AF, my classmate was this retiree who used to live in France. The teacher was very patient because it took us some time before we could make it out in French what the instructions in the worksheet mean and what she was trying to communicate in French. Oh yes, I have homework too! C'est difficile.

For both classes, I was glad to have the company of friends to accompany me home after the lessons. After yoga class, S walked home together with me and we had a good time talking about the lesson. After the French class, I happened to bump into L(fellow Singaporean) who was taking a more difficult class and we went out for coffee together. Later, S and R also joined us at the coffeeshop where we chatted and whiled our time away like real tai-tais.

This morning, my friend, A, is coming over to my place. We meet each other every week to brush up on my French and for her, to polish her English. Looking foward to this as we will be preparing lunch together and practicising French and English at the same time. I guess my life is really like that of a tai-tai now. : )
