After spending some time in the American Club gym doing Sean's workout (but using less weight), I felt that I was on my way to getting in shape. I wasn't lifting any fantastic weights but I was feeling good.
Today, I went with Sean to his trainer's gym and...got my butt kicked. i do not know how long we spent with him. I'm guessing there was less than 30 minutes of lifting but I was more tired at the end (well, more like the "middle") of the workout, than an hour+ at the American club. My shirt was drenched with sweat and my hands were resting on my knees in an attempt to remain standing.
I hadn't hurt that bad from exercising since i ran a marathon in 2006 (or was it 2005?). I wish I could tell you that the sweat and the pain were due to lifting heavy weights but they weren't. They were due to working the core, like I've never worked it before. Prior to today, I might not have had a core.
At the moment, 9 hours later, I feel as if i've recovered. We'll see if I feel the same way when I wake up. Or if I go back on Friday.
In the meantime, I will just think about whey I decided to buy stocks on Tuesday. Prior to the marketing opening, it seemed like a good idea.

Sound like an interesting trip so far!
Glad you're working out with Sean - keep your energy level up!
We can't compare to Singapore, in many ways ... but I can tell you that we've enjoyed the usual fall weather here: mid 60's - 70's, bright sun, no humidity.
We'll take it!
