working it

i finally joined the gym today! i know i said i'd join it nxt month, but somehow today after a discussion with my presentation partner, i found myself walking right into the reception and registering myself.

luckily i met lit fwu there, so he showed me how to use the treadmill. (yes la, i've used treadmills before, but all are different. its quite annoying actually.)

as i was on the treadmill, i was suddenly reminded why gym wasnt my thing.

dont you think everyone in the gym is so freaking serious looking??? like as if they are totally concentrating on whatever they're doing. then the stereotypes of guys and girls surreptitiously checking each other out will cross my mind and i'll immediately feel like giggling, but i cant because it will break the "serious" atmosphere and everyone will look at me :(

and i think our gym should have more mirrors to aid with the surreptitious mutual checking out so at least we can look at ourselves when we do stuff. i remember that the sarawak club treadmills were located facing the mirrors and that there were mirrors everywhere. (if u still cant tell, i like mirrors. most of the time. but not at night in the dark :S )

another thing i think gyms should have is signs teaching people how to use the equipment properly. i dont like that they assume that everyone knows how to use the machines. its like telling a kid "there's a pool, go swim", without even making sure that the kid even knows how to swim 1st.

yes, i complain alot =p

oh, i know liaw! they purposely dont put signs to give excuses for girls to ask guys how to use the equipment! this reinforces the aforementioned stereotype of both genders going to gym to hit on people. wtf

dont you think gyms are very pretentious? its like everyone is competing. everyone wants to run faster or carry heavier weights than the other. so much so that i feel damn paiseh when i use the lightest dumbells i can find T_T
and when i wanna use a certain machine, but the previous person (who is also female) was lifting weight number 7 and i just wanna use weight number 3 but dont know how to change the weights T_T

omg, i sound damn sad wei. HAHAHA

actually i talk so much, but im still going gym again tomorrow. wtf

i baru joined so still quite semangat. plus it costs over 27 pounds a month wei!

oh ya! did i mentioned that i baked another cake today?? you'll never guess what it is!

but just try guessing anyway ok? ;)
