breakfast and coffee with lily at the merchant after a good dose of pain.
yesterday morning at 9.30am, lily and i went to our first bodypump class in uni gym.
prior to yesterday, the only thing i knew about bodypump is that it emphasizes on muscle toning and it doesn't have any cardio component to it; sounds like my kinda thing wtf.
the pamphlet says bodypump is the "world's fastest way to get in shape" and the whole routine is accompanied by music over a booming sound system so needless to say, i was sold.
come 9.30am, everyone enrolled pretty much dumped their bags on the floor and dispersed almost immediately to get the necessary equipment for the 1 hour class.
lily and i were so overwhelmed at all the scampering going on that we just froze in the middle of the room and she went: "ohmygod what the hell is going on?"
B: "shit wei let's just follow la whatever they're doing."
so we unleashed the kiasu in us and followed blindly, taking whatever equipment that we saw people took which by the way, DAMN A LOT OF THINGS LA.
each person had a bar, a set of weights (i took about 6 barbells), some screw thingy to keep the weights in place, an aerobic step and 4 risers for the step.
after getting all those, we had to adjust the amount of weight on the bar according to own needs/personal goals and then fix the riser to the step so that it forms a makeshift platform.
haven't start the routine also stress liao wtf.
anyway, the 1 hour routine focuses on using weights to tone the legs, thighs, chest, gluteals, back, hamstrings, biceps, triceps, shoulders and abs - pretty much ALL the muscles in your body wtf.
long story short, we were lifting weights for a whole hour.
at one point, we had to lie down on the platform and bench press - in between trying to look at the instructor and trying to keep going despite my shaky arms, i almost dropped 4kgs worth of weight on my own face WTF.
after that 1 hour, my legs were shaking like jello and lily considered sliding down the handrail because the stairs were just too much trouble wtf.
we took about 2 minutes to shimmy down ONE FLIGHT of stairs, giggling at each other and wincing at every step like total idiots hahahaha.
so even though i am in a world of pain right now, hurting in places i never thought was possible wtf, bodypump is
hell fun.
the music, everyone lifting weights in unison and just trying to keep going even though my body tells me otherwise - it makes me feel
damn good.
i tweeted about it and ZY (a guy who gyms btw) replied: "it's the mother of all pains. i could only put up with 15 minutes of it."
*flexes biceps*

before i launch into the next topic some quick background info, omitting most deets:
girl meets boy, boy meets girl. both felt instant attraction. boy got girls' number. a whole lot of texting (on a 'good' day, think from 9am til 5am with some off time in between wtf). went for a date. girl didn't feel anything but boy did. boy wants to see girl again but girl didn't reply because duh, girl didn't feel anything. boy texts on and off but girl didn't reply any texts. end of story.
i was a tad hesitant blogging about this but decided that it was too funny not to and...i can't even think of a perfect adjective that aptly describes the whole situation.
the text i just got from juliana sealed the deal.
last night, shane, lily, daryl, juliana and i went for out for dinner and drinks.
we wanted to go to ciao italia but the queue was so long that we would probably have to wait for at least an hour before we got a table so we decided to go somewhere else.
i was craving for something western so we went to sebastian's but it was fully booked so we settled for christina's.
shane wasn't there yet so the four of us got a table and while our eyes were glued to the menus, a waiter piped up: "can i get you guys something to drink first?"
we all looked up and my smile froze as soon i saw him smiling at me.
after he left, lily said: "why does he look so familiar..."
B: "because he's x."
ju and lily responded with, literally, a O__________________O" look, followed by an "OHMYGOD".
we sat in silence for a bit while ju filled daryl in about x and i, lily occasionally bursting into laughter and i just couldn't believe it was happening.
lily then called shane frantically to ask him to hurry the hell up so that she could fill him in (those two are probably the most informed about my love life, or lack thereof, since the whole drama was at its peak while i was in margs with them).
shane's eyes widened and he, like all of us, mostly me wtf, couldn't believe the coincidence.
B: "welp! i definitely need alco now."
the three of us got a glass of wine each and the gang was being super sweet, distracting me when he walked past so that i didn't have to look at him, aww :)
according to the girls, he was looking at me for the majority of the night wtf.
B: "if i get a tummy ache tomorrow, we all know that he spat in my food."
shane: "B, if you just go up to him and kiss him we would probably get the whole meal free!"
lily: "maybe you should just tell him, i don't like you because of your hair and that u smoke. then again he'd probably shave it with a kitchen knife right now and quit smoking just for you."
...you get the gist.
the food was amazing but it's a tad hard to enjoy when put in such an awkward situation (ju said that one of the waitress was super smiley, like he told her about me) and shane was noticeably trying to distract me whenever he walked past.
to wrap up yesterday's drama, the bunch made me reply to his textS to give him closure and all that even though i didn't want to because the convo would go on forever.
i thought not texting him was a good enough closure and i'm sure he got the message, it was just unfortunate we had to bump into each other, really. haha.
he was pretty relentless though, texting even when i didn't reply :x so i had to be cruel to be kind wtf.
shane: "just say, it's not you, it's me."
B: "yeah i'll just say i have too many issues."
shane: "say you're married to a *insert race* guy!"
B: "...who's in rehab!"
shane: "...and that you have to support four children!"
B: "...who's in mongolia!"
that was yesterday.
TODAY, ju whatsapped me: "X IS HERE IN JUS BURGERS."
dear god. i find the extent of this coincidence (if i can call it that) so freakishly hilarious.
we contemplated a number of different restaurants and
had to pick that one. whoa.
nah photo to end!
what a long entry zomg.
happy sunday guys!
