The morning at camp was fun as it was Saturday, which means those on Standby have half day at camp. There was a short but heavy shower at camp but we went ahead and had breakfast at the usual place.
It was really fun recalling how David Boey went to my place to have a little fun, drink Soya Bean Milk and have dinner. Dinner was really good yesterday- fried pork chop marinated in sour sauce, fried pork ribs and dark green vegetable and lean pork balls soup. Then we went to the gym and it was as though I had set two 5-yrs old loose on a toy store.
Before we started to exercise, Royson was there already, he was doing the treadmill. David said in a really loud voice that the babe that passed us looked really beautiful. Thank god it was not too loud. Or else, I wouldn't know where to hide my face. David and I shared a locker as he did not bring a lock of his own. Tight squeeze. Then the three of us did the Cross-trainer after they were done with the treadmill. Befrore I did the treadmill, I stretched.
One by one I introduced them to my trainer. He was busy as usual, I guess work is never done when he is at work. He was wearing the red cap going on rounds to make sure everyone in the gym was okay. Okay as in no problem using the equipment or in any danger of hurting themselves. Before they came up, I got to have a little chat with him. He told me his girlfriend was 18 yrs old! (He is 26yrs old) He said that she looks and act much more mature then her age. Works at Heeren, selling clothes and still studying. I asked if his girlfriend was really pretty. He said that she looks okay. But I could tell that she is probably really beautiful, from the smile that appeared when he answered. I also asked if it was okay if I dated my girl friend. He said that I could try. But I really worry that if things did not turn out well, we cannot even be friends. After the cross-trainer, both Royson and David went around trying out all the equipment and asking me to show them how. They did not warmup and used improper techniques to do the exercises. It was really quite stressfull as I worry about their safety. The after our shower we went to find Aero the counsellor. As they seem pretty keen to join the gym and David's 1-week pass was not processed yet.
As Aero was busy with clients, I got Idris to tend to them instead with Aero's permission.
The talk with them was really long as I felt like going home already. But my friends were here so I got to play host. Idris was really good at his job as usual, entertaining them, telling David to quit smoking and selling the different type of membership to them. I made sure he told them about the 5 training session included with whatever package they chose. Then we got of the gym. As they wanted to eat and drink, I went home first after saying goodbye.
Then the rest of the time passed quickly enough after I opened the option of studying to be a Personal Trainer to Tay P G. Soon it was time to go home.
After I got home, mum did not cooked lunch and I was lazy to go out. So I ate the raisin cake that was on the table. After watching the cartoons on Channel 8. I took an hour's worth of nap before I got up to shower, pack and get to gym.
Gym. Today was really crowded. Had to work on the arms instead of the chest but the workout was still good. Trainer Benedict told me more cons of his job such as the long working hours, short 1-hour break, many hours spent standing and a lot of stamina required to finish a day's work. Now I am beginning to know why he has that really numb or far away look sometimes. But I asked him does he like his job, he said "Yes". After the weights, I did cross-trainer. After I got home, I went to get the photos that C S Lim requested me to get developed again. Then after I got home and stayed there. A lot of time was spent doing boring recurring tasks I had to do and preparing what to bring for the compulsory fun outing. Now, I think I will listen to "on the road(demo1)", "realize" and "my desired happiness" of Stefanie Sun's 2nd Album before I go to sleep.
Explanation of the middle to right side face- I was still very happy after I got back from the gym but I had this unexplainable sad sense of emptyness like something is missing. That feeling decreased and now I just feel a strong sense of unfeeling concentration.
