gym rats
So, after last semester’s sinful late night bingeing and putting on rather astounding visible weight, I bought myself a gym membership.A gym membership alright!
It must have all started after horseback-riding. Ah my aching limbs. It’s not funny when you are barely in your mid-twenties and you can hardly withstand the tension in your muscles, excluding the constant friendly reminder from ma that I cannot wear white tops because “like that can see la” and I really wouldn’t want Wendy’s mom to start freaking me with diabetes and shit. Although she does kindly prep us on why you can only eat 2 hours after workout because your “mao xi kong shi zhang kai de” (open pores) ; will absorb everything your body takes in.
“Hen kuai hui fa pang de…” (argh!!)
Aerobics class was intimidating. Fat girls too. I mean really FAT girls are intimidating. They memorized the foot works, ah the entire routine! And they have better stamina than I do! Hmmm okay, one fat girl especially. I almost hyperventilated and wrenched her short neck when she scrutinized me with her slit-like foxy eyes. I felt compelled to not screw up my hand-feet coordination otherwise she might just secretly mock my handicap.
That's why I have un-stretchable calves for 3 days.
Ey, apparently, males do feel threatened in the presence of another stronger counterpart. All that chauvinist bit in them just died. Blame on their raging testosterone and the fear of appearing physically weaker than a fellow mate.
Oh yes, and this Asian guy (might be Korean), came into the gym, pasar-malam-attired, complete with absolutely frictionless slippers, eased himself on the treadmill and started his flip-flopping or flick-flaking or plick-placking. As if it wasn’t annoying enough, he began throwing wild punches into the air and constantly looking at his right reflection. Ah some boxer-wannabe. I thought he should accessorize himself with a parang; I would look at him from the poolside and do a nanny-nanny-poo-poo while he brandishes his weapon.
More workouts.
More workouts.
More!
