at last i made up my mind to signed up with a fitness first in puchong. why?
- the curves in the right places had evolved into bulges and migrated all over.
- haven't been feeling well lately due to #1
- desperately needs the booze up my "happy hormones" by exercising after all those depressing shopping trips
- office gym equipments too derelict to be efficient and choices are boring
- loads of equipments and various classes available in ff
- my fave sauna and stream room available in ff
- the horrible sauna-like showers in office
- paying-$$-therefore-must-utilise motivation
- slimming centres are way too expensive and short term. and only works for some.
- etc
i went over on saturday to try out and was pretty impressed with the alice the membership consultant. firstly she was quick to response to my queries via phone, immediately booked me for a tryout the next day. although i was a little annoyed when she was not there when i reached there 10 mins late (apparently she was stuck in the traffic ... hmm...). but quickly forgave her as she had already arranged a trainer to guide me. i was pleasantly surprised as i've been to tryouts in summit's ff and was not offered a 1:1 trainer (the snobby consultant explained there's no 1:1 for tryouts...).
it started out quite smoothly. and no i did not flew off from the treadmill or tripped and fell. after brisk walking to warm up, shawn or sean the trainer guided me on the weights training and exercises targeted to tone specific areas. ok. some exercises were embarrassing e.g. i could not lift my legs for the abdominal exercise. it looks so simple when he did it... i was like grrrrr~~~ but legs still not up. it was hilarious, i even laughed at some of my disabilities but tg! he didn't which was quite professional as i would have had laughed my belly out! or perhaps there were loads of similar cases b4 me?
after the session, had a membership consultation with alice. she was definitely friendlier that the snob in summit. membership consultant should be as friendly as can be as anyone could be a potential client. she informed me that she had seen me b4 and correctly guessed in PU which she frequently visits her uncle. erm. i guess i am too big not to be noticed :)
the didn't get a waiver on the joining and admin fees. however with my jj card i only pay a rm20 for joining fees and free for the first month. i was told admin fees cant be waived? and i will have 2 more 1:1 sessions. she explained that the tryout session i had with sean was actually hers which she admitted she is always working out to keep fit. i was actually impressed and she certainly didn't need much persuasion to convinced me to join.
besides the being satisfied with the pretty good services so far, i was delighted to noticed that this branch actually has out-of-shape members. hahaha. meaning i can blend in easily without being stuck out like sore thumb in midst of already-perfect-bodies working out. well, no i was not disappointed there were no hunks around (ok. scanning is a intuitive and spontaneous action) and it wasn't in my agenda to find one in the gym. also, i think me huffing and puffing will definitely NOT be a turn on.
spring cleaning
woo hoo.. what a tiring weekend. baked some cookies and did major cleaning especially my room. i was sneezing and had runny nose as i was cleaning my room. yea :) that was how dusty it was. hee hee. took me half the day for that alone as spent most of the time going thru some "nostalgic" belongings i hoarded and recollecting forgotten memories. found my little "black" book. haha. i carried it with me almost everywhere i went b4 i had the mobile. i cant recall some of the names in the book. well i'm pretty bad with names...
and there was a torn paper containing the lyrics to "sometimes when we touched". aaa. this i remembered. it was when i was burning the midnight oil for one of my college's projects and a guy called in the station which i was listening to and belted the whole song! his voice's not honey but it was so full of sincerity and intense passion!! guess the girl he sang for would have fell for him, i.e. if she was listening. like there was this one time i heard a lady dedicating a song for her husband who was on the plane coming back from china. duh...
then in my old pencil case, found some old receipts of my college fees and a folded note. hmm. a note apologising on some missed calls and came looking for me but i wasn't home which i totally have to recollections. erm. guess it is ok. it was at least 10 years ago!
spent more time looking thru my big album - laughing out loud and wondering how some of my friends are doing now. it had some pretty interesting photo collages especially the f1's pages. then updated it with some photos i found while cleaning up. aaah. i love sweet memories.
the aftermath...
had a lovely sleep the nite on the gym day. felt a little muscle aches over the abs and arms. but after the "intense" sweeping and mopping, i am aching all over now. and i am tired but just cant snooze off - hence i am writing this... hope to catch some after i signed off.
