Today the IT guy in my company came to me and asked if I am interested to replace my desktop with a new laptop. It sounded like a really good deal at the first place though I will have to give up my 21" LCD monitor, the greatest component of my desktop.
But then, when I asked him what will be better if I choose the laptop, he hesitated and said something I couldn't really hear. Lastly, he said I can take it with me if I need to work at the lower level. Sure, that's a laptop.
His response made this deal very suspicious. Indeed, if he just said something about the configurations of the laptop, I probably won't know what he was talking about. Later in the day, I was then told that IT people used to trade others' desktops with some really crappy laptops. When I was so worry that my computer will be downgraded, I was later, fortunately, informed by my department manager that it's up to me to decide if I want to keep the old one. :) (That guy came to me when the manager was gone, made me felt like it is a compulsory trade.)
When someone who are not usually helpful wants to give you a deal, don't be too excited and think twice about it. Something may be just too good to be true.

Pilates
Yestersday, I planned to go for a Yoga class as I haven't done that for a long time and it's good to do some weight training after a few weeks of aerobic exercises. When I got to the gym, I realized that I was looking at the old schedule and the Yoga class was substituted by a Pilates class. I've never been to one but, hey, why not? So, I signed up.
I used to think that Pilates is something really similar to Yoga as they always took place at the same room and there are music, yoga mat, people dress in the same way.... but my perception changed once the class started.
We kept doing that crunching for 45 mins. That made me felt like I was in a boot camp. My toe even cramped. x_x"
The funniest part was, the instructor probably saw me and he said, ' See, Pilates always promotes cramping."
So, I decided to join this class regularly until I can survive it.
