Sorry, I have become such a bad writer, just so busy suddenly...

Robert works every day now and I have to entertain the kids on the weekends as well. Have been to the zoo again and everybody had a great time. On the weekend before that Robert had taken a day off and we planned to go to Pulau Ubin which is the last unspoilt island on the north coast with bicycle tracks and mangroves and wetlands to explore. Unfortunately Karl was not well so nothing came of it. Then as a minimum program we decided to go out for lunch and that turned the unlucky day into a catastrophic day - went to an italian and probably 15 minutes after leaving the restaurant as soon as I got home I was so violently sick like never before. Had to use all my willpower not to be sick in the lift with a pregnant neighbor. There was something wrong with my fish obviously because Raoul had had a few bites from it and was sick later as well. So much for a long awaited day off. I guess now we will have to wait for the next chance when the rig is finished and project all done.

Meanwhile I have become an addict of Bikram yoga. The manager at the yoga centre agreed to change my membership from the general one to Bikram and I have been going there a few times every week now. It is fantastic exercise - you have to work really hard and because of the heat sweat like on a treadmill. The first half of the class really feels like an intense cardio workout. Very tricky all the balancing and trying to contract every muscle and pull and push all at the same time. Second part is a bit more relaxing between the floor postures but in every posture you still work with every muscle very hard. It is really rewarding, afterwards feels like you have had a real proper workout but at the same time it gives you a strange "high", quite different from the normal post-gym adrenaline rush. So I'll go 3 times this week! Each instructor has a slightly different style and different tips and details, so really good.
