Lose that attitude la, Malaysians!

Are Malaysians kiasu or what? I was caught in a massive jam yesterday, just like every Malaysians in almost every states in Malaysia. All because of news that petrol price would go up by 78 cents. Some very kiasu and kiasi Malaysians rushed to fill their petrol tanks before midnite (when the price increase took effect), causing traffic jam everywhere and causing me to rush from office to gym. Blardy fools!

Took me an hour to reach gym. The jam started immediately after the Cyberjaya Toll. Thought that there was an accident further down but then 2 friends texted me to inform of the new petrol price. That's when I realised the cause of the jam. The last time I encountered this type of massive jam was during the Le Tour de Langkawi, 2 years ago. Passed by a couple of petrol stations and there was a long queue, up to the highway. Apparently these people were willing to queue up. Like as if they didn't have to pump petrol again after last nite. Can last forever meh? Blardy stewpit fools!

Looking at the traffic, I amost decided to give up on Wed Combat. Then I recalled that the clock at the gym is about 5 minutes slower so perhaps if I gamble a bit, I may be able to make it. Damn, should have weaved in and out of traffic when there were opportunities...could have slashed off a few seconds from here and there...ahaks!

Anyway, at 7.20pm, the mall was within my sight (class starts at 7.25pm). Luckily was able to find a parking spot immediately. Rushed Walked quickly inside...then realised that my access card wasn't in my bag...shit! must have left it at the gym. Informed Front of House and asked the guy to help me look while I went for my class. Quickly changed...then realised that I wore my pants terbalik. Celaka! Luckily was still inside the locker room. Couldn't imagine the embarrasment if I were to discover it later.

The studio was quickly filled up as time went by. Guess many members were caught in the jam too. I was already sweating like hell before mid class...partly caused by the stress of rushing to gym. Great workout though despite some blurness at times.

Due to earlier haste in getting to the gym, I almost forgot where I parked my car when I left the gym. Took me a while to figure out. Was surprised that the traffic jam was still pretty bad. Blardy fools! Damn you kiasu Malaysians!

Plan cancelled

I decided not to kill myself with 2 back-to-back classes at the gym today. Reached home at 3am this morning and had 5 hours of sleep before hitting the office again....technically, should be considered enough but since my slumber wasn't a smooth one, I felt a little sluggish today. That recliner next to my office cubicle looks so inviting right now.

So, decided maybe next week la. Don't want to take the risk of being accidentally hit, punched or stepped by someone in Body Combat because my reflex for sure will be slow today. Not to mention my comprehension of instructions. Body Pump is safer, so can go. Only me and my weights.

Weekend is for work too

So...today I'm skipping usual yoga class in favor of work. Working on a Sunday...isn't that fun? Fun? Giler ker?

I didn't mind really because I had a super workout yesterday to compensate for today's yoga absence. BTW, I guess I did a premature celebration of my mastery of the Shoulder Track for Pump. Had to pause during the track on thursday's class although I was fine in yesterday's class. Inconsistency.

Oh...I saw a PT (Personal Trainer) joining the class yesterday with her client. Prolly encouraging her client to join Pump...which was good, although I think her client did better than her, in terms of listening to the instructor's cue-ing and following instructions. The PT was hopelessly lost, imo. Somemore started warm-up with 5kg weight...damn terror...but can see she was struggling midway through warm up and her weights selection during the entire class was all wrong. Busy talking to her client during cool down track, so annoying. If I ever needed a PT, I wouldn't waste my money hiring her (sorry, no offense, but it's true). The poor client glanced at her from time to time for some guidance. My thought is....lady, your PT isn't doing any better than you. You should pay attention to the instructor on the stage instead, not your PT. Don't let the blind lead the blind.

Body Combat was a bomb yesterday. Loved all the tracks selection. The studio was full but not packed. Just nice, imo. I received a number of teasings from FCI but it was all in the name of fun, no?? All I could do in response was to flash smiles...ahaks. Let's hope I'll be flashing more smiles again tomorrow. I have a mission tomorrow...back to back classes with FPI. Woohoo!

Back to work now...


EDIT: It is now 11.41 pm and I'm still in the office. Not sure what time I get to go off. So, now I'm thinking...if I only leave past midnite.....then how to go for back to back Combat and Pump classes tomorrow?? Later sure will feel very boh lat. No fun la if pancit easily. Cis! Spoil my plan saja...
