5Y10M 4Y0M 今学期 This term

残り少ない今学期、語学等のお勉強系は諦め、体育と音楽をすることにした。

体育。道路を渡ってすぐのクラークハッチに入会。このジム、UKでは託児所があったりと、高級ジムのイメージがあったが、ペナンにあるのは女性専用。近所には、知り合いが多く通うもう一つのジムがあるが、クラークハッチの方がジム内が明るく、ソーシャライズより単に運動がしたい私はこちらにした。

音楽。ピアノすら習ったことのない私。楽器を習うとしたらまずはドラムに興味あり。ペナンで楽器を習うと個人レッスンになるが、ここでまた難関が。ピアノなら昼間教えてくれる先生もいるが、ドラムは夜か週末しかない。何軒かあたって、やっと月曜の夕方の先生がみつかった。アマさんに子供を見てもらって、その間に行くことにした。

Having giving up doing any sort of studies which need my brain, I've decided to do Physical exercise and music for the rest of this term.

First of all, I joined a gym just across the flat last Monday. Clark Hatch was quite expensive gym with a crecch in the UK. But the one in Penang is for women only. Most of my friends go to the other gym, which is also around the corner, but I just want to do exercise, not socialising, and I decided to choose CH.

I've also signed up for a drumming course. I haven't even played the piano. But if I'm asked what musical instrument I want to learn, my immediate answer is drum. In Penang, learning music is usually from a tutor and one to one and I came across the same problem again. There are plenty of Piano instructors who intend to teach during day, but for drumming, they are usually only available at the weekend or in the evening. I've asked around, and luckily found one who can do early evening on Monday. I'll have to leave boys with Christine but I'll start from next week, I'm very looking forward to it.
