MORNING…it was 6:15am. I woke up in a single bed facing the mirror stuck on the back of the bedroom door in my cabin. I tried to not look at it whilst thinking of that Yoga class that I was supposed to go in 45 minutes.
I was looking forward to it, though Dru is not my favourite type but the meeting with that cute Yoga teacher last night really got me curious. We talked about Yoga teachers’ training in Canberra and Northern Sydney as I am always keen on becoming a Yoga teacher, and I promised to her that I would be in Seabreeze Room this morning for her class and also help her to set up the room.
I had a shower, put on stretchy track pants and a light blue tee, it was only 6:30am and it was deadly quiet. I put kettle on, brew myself a cup of tea and went outside sitting in front of the water. The morning twilight was still faint but some coastline cruise boats already began their day in the water. I sat there, just loving this morning moment so much that I can’t believe I could have almost missed it if I slept in.
I stayed there for about 15 minutes, then I went back in to see if one of my colleagues, who was also an enthusiastic yogi, was up. I can hear she was having a shower upstairs but I just don’t understand why she was still doing that at already 5 to 7am. I knocked on the door and heard she said “I am up”, but seemed having no intention to come out of her bloody bedroom. “What is wrong with her?” and “this is so not like her!”
I waited for another 3 minutes, then I decided to give up. I can’t afford to be there late. I was the one who invited the Yoga teacher here at the first place and it would be rude not be there helping. So I made my own way alone, heading there almost like a crazy running rabbit through all the cabins (our cabin was located way down the end of the Resort). I just managed to get there on time where everyone was ready and the class was just about to start. God! Who am I kidding? I felt so bad.
My colleague turned up almost 10 minutes late. I tried to not to pull my face but still didn’t understand why. However, I soon settled myself down and 30 minutes later at about 7:30am, the sun came out and I was totally bathed in the golden morning sun light, feeling the sea breeze caressing my face and body. Standing close to door way to the ocean facing veranda, all I felt in my heart was “Wow…..”
When the class had finished, my colleague approached and told me that she just had realised that her clock in her bedroom was half hour late. Well, I was speechless….”don’t people look at their own watches (mobile phone) any more?”
I had no time to care…..had to run, seriously. 3 massage therapists were already there when I was sending off the Yoga teacher. Another two were also on their ways from Reception to cabins. It took me at least 3 times’ running up-and-down to finally get everything ready for running on time. Guess what? I missed my breakfast and I was all of a sweat.
9:50am. I heard some carers saying that they wanted to go fishing. “Are you kidding me? Now I need to go shopping for fishing rods, reel and bait?”
