gyms

Sunday, April 9th, 2006
I hate the new breed of gyms cropping out. They’re all about marketing and some stupid gimmick. Lets put the cases out for review:

Celebrity Fitness

A friend of mine signed me up for a one week free trial, so I got a call from Celebrity Fitness. I’ll just name her as T.

T: Hie ! I’m calling from Celebrity Fitness. CONGRATULATIONS ! You now have a one week free trial to enjoy the PRIVELLEGE that is Celebrity Fitness.
Me : Oh really ? who signed me up for this
T: A friend of yours , D.
Me : Ahh , okay
T: So , a few quick questions for you , Jason. Do you have any fitness goals ?
Me : No
T: So you’re totally fine with the way you look ?
Me: Yes
T: So you’re really buffed or have a great body ?
Me: No
T: Hahahha … okaaaaaay. Which celebrity would you most want to look like ?
Me: (WTF ??!!) Ermm .. I don’t know
T: Come on , I’m sure there is ONE celebrity you would most want to look like
Me: No
T: Hahahah .. okaaaaaay.
Me : FUCK YOU CELEBRITY FITNESS

Okay, I didn’t really say that to her. Cause she sounded sweet in an annoyingly high pitched voice. I said I wasn’t interested. But NO she called me three more times to bug me later ! Can’t they get the hint ? Where do they breed these marketing minions ?

True Fitness

Me : hie , I would like to sign up for the one week trial please.
Them : Oh , okay. Would you be interested to sign up first ?
Me : No , I want to try out first, isn’t that what the trial is for ?
Them : Why hesitate ? The promotion ends today !
Me : I WANT TO FUCKING TRY OUT IF I LIKE THIS FUCKING GYM BUT LOOKS LIKE I WON’T BE JOINING BITCH!!

Okay, I didn’t really say that either but I sure felt like that. They tried to persuade me for the longest time.

The worse thing is that from what I hear from friends who join those aformentioned gyms, the after sales service is fucking horrible. They don’t remember your name, they give you shit about your credit card , they bind you for a year and they MAKE you sign up your friends.

Ok i shut up now

everything we have is all we need

It seems that I’ve had quite a tumultuous week. Work was quite hectic as I struggled to learn and develop something which I haven’t really done before. I believe I was quite hard on myself and tried my best to solve the problems that kept coming up. Yes , I know I’m new at this job but I feel like I have to prove myself. Never really been this hardworking actually. It’s not all fun and games at work you know :)
On the personal front, once again my insensitivity and naievity has got the better of me. I apologize sincerely to those involved. Thanks for being frank with me.

And I’ve been reminded about how I sweep my problems under a carpet and hope it all turns out well in the end. People might say I’m too optimistic. Hmmm…

On the brighter side of things, I did have fun this week. Watching movies and just hanging out with a friend. It’s strange how I never noticed you before :)
At the end of the week, I realize that despite everything that is going on, all you have is really all you need. Everything else that comes after that is just a blessing. Maybe people would be happier if they realize this.

I guess it’s time to blog about my ridiculous problem with girls.

Case #1
Girl : How come of all the girls , you only ask me out ?
Boy : Because I think you’re cute.
Girl : ……..
Boy: You’re not seeing anyone , are you ?
Girl: I have a boyfriend ….
Boy: Oh, I’m sorry , I didn’t mean to bother you
Girl: You very pai seh lar
Boy: What’s that mean ?
Girl: Go ask your friends
Boy: ………

By the way , I’m one of those chinese that can’t really speak mandarin or cantonese. Pai Seh means not shy.

Case #2
Boy:
So you wanna go out for a drink sometime ?
Girl: Sure ! I’ll call my sister,brother , friend , sister’s friends … etc
Boy: …….

Case #3
Girl:
Hi , you’re Jason right ?
Boy: ermm …errr , hmm yeah … ( O_o” )

Case #4
Boy: I feel like I’m in high school again.
Girl: I wish I could stay ….
Boy: I wish you didn’t have to go …
Girl: come visit me okay
Boy: ….

Miniature disasters , minor catastrophes.

The worse thing is , I seem to gravitate towards girls who are already attached or unavailable for one reason or another. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, it’s like a minor dysfunction.

It’s a great sunday !

Although it started out wrong. For one , we went to get a spongebob but it was sold out ! FREAKING SOLD OUT at burger king. They didn’t even have extra stock. #$#&!*$^

Then I went on a shopping spree. DVD shopping spree. Like 16 dics. And we wore the most jeng clothes ever in Sungei Wang. Okay, not the most jeng ever but enough photos to blackmail each other for the rest of our lives. Hahahah BLUE FUR.

Then off to Ik’s house for house warming. Man I admire him cause he got his own house and car. Good job Ik , Congratulations. Now all we need is a wireless router and we can DOTA !!!! And we watched one of my childhood favourites:

TRANSFORMERS
The Movie

More than meets the eye!!


I remember when I was young I was so upset they killed off so many heroes. Like what the fuck ? a shot in the shoulder and Brawn dies ! But watching it again , I guess they just wanna introduce more new toys so that the kids can bug their parents.

I think I’ll download the soundtrack. 80’s rock man !! HELL YEAH !!

Well , life’s like that.
