today i woke up at the amazing hour of 630am! to go for yoga. i think it was because i went for yoga yesterday as well and then i felt amazingly sleepy by 11 so i went to bed really early. well, comparatively really early -- ie at 12 rather than at 3 am. so yeah i was all proud of self for waking early and going for yoga, which is really good and stretchy btw, and i want to go for proper yoga classes after As. not that these weren't proper -- they were taught by my dad's friend's yoga master from bangalore, who's been a trainer for the indian national cricket team and all! he was visiting singapore for a week and staying with them so he decided to Impart Yogic Knowledge to a few people. i kept meaning to go with my dad but i only managed to be free for the last two sessions -- last night and this morning. anyway he's very cool and scientific so he doesn't just teach the postures and exercies, he also explains all the bones and muscles involved and what happens to them. and he has interesting stories about indian cricket players and the manner in which some of them consider themselves exempt from blood tests.

was quite fun. except that everybody else in the class was old. old in the sense around as old as my dad. which is a lot older than me. so every other person had some ailment or another, like knee problems, neck problems, shoulder problems etc. my dad has none of those, ha. but then he runs 10km on weekends and plays squash and tennis and stuff. it's mainly the women who have creaky bone problems. i hope i don't turn into a creaky old woman one day. though creaky's better than alzheimer's. alzheimer's is depressing. anyway so the teacher had to basically cater to the lowest common denominator. therefore the exercises were quite easy. but they're good, all the same.

and i came home, was going to go to school spectacularly early and Study Ass Off - or so I had planned, but ended up getting stuck working on essays and fell asleep for more than an hour because yoga evidently makes me sleepy =(

must find some sort of energy-increasing exercise.

also, uh, Lost spoilers.

apparently shannon's going to die. sooooo on alias jj kills off two of sydney's fiances one after another. on lost he kills a brother and a sister one after another. he's going mad. i liked shannon! i could relate to her spoilt-brattiness although she's kind of a bitch too. but then i can relate to the bitch part too. except she was super manipultative and i'm not manipulative am i? :D anyway. whatever. it's also definitely true that she and sayid will "take their relationship to its logical conclusion" which means SEX, and naveen andrews has already helpfully informed anybody who's seen any of his recent interviews that he did his bit by taking his clothes off. so, well, duh. maybe she dies in the throes of orgasm because after not having had any for 48 days it's just too much for her to take.

on that note, a Big Kiss is coming up. kate and somebody. not sawyer. i mean she's already made out with sawyer while he was tied to a tree and his arm was bleeding. so that wouldn't be fun. who else does that leave? let's see. charlie's eternally devoted to claire. locke is too zen for kisses. michael is on the other side of the island. jin is married and also on the other side of the island. hurley? hm. oh yeah, JACK! yay i hope it's jack. unless it's the big african guy but he's also on other side of island. unless the other-side-of-island people reach the first side-of-island soon. anyway i have no idea when the kiss is coming.

oh ok i just saw this. "a female series regular will die at the hands of another female series regular." so if shannon's going to die, she's going to be killed by someone. i wonder who. kate? ana-lucia? claire? sun? rose? omg how ominous. and apparently she'll die right at the end of the episode and you'll have no idea who did it or why and it'll be very disturbing and stuff.

sigh that stupid episode! comes in the first week of As! how! ok so it's just 45 minutes. but for a tv addict an episode never lasts only 45 minutes, do you not understand? there's atleast another two hours to cry and obsess and read twop forums feverishly looking for Answers.
must. be. disciplined.
yoga teacher told us about the five states of mind. i must reach niruddha which means complete mastery over mind and desires.

i adore rain. my mother's run off to gayathri's place to look at a 'consignment of saris'. 'consignment' is the exact word she used. it sounds so... industrial. and it's by some designer whose last name is 'broker'. indra broker, i think it was. must be parsi. parsis have funny names like engineer (rehaan), contractor (mickey), banker (khushnam - yes it's THAT khushnam). i think i've blogged about funny parsi names before. is indra a parsi name though? my mom is weird anyway. when she got a call in the morning, insisting that she -must- rush down to see the saris because they're goooorgeoussssss, she said she wouldn't go because she must stay with me and help me through my difficult time (of writing an irritating essay). she didn't help, and then three hours later she's rushing off in the rain to see the saris anyway. i think she was informed that there were only 4 saris left or something. oh well. *empathises*

i am all alone now eating a piece of royce chocolate :( well the maid's in the kitchen. and the house is dark because of the rain. and i have tuition in two hours. how depressing.
