obesity...

yes, that's the biggest topic today....! Let's tell you the story of the day....

It all started in the morning, when the sun shines through my window, I was awake.. without a tinge of hangover (coz, obviously they were nice enough not to force me to drink my drinks and also probably they dont want the hassle of repeating the past incident Oopz.. =p)...

But of course, being 'WEEKEND', i stayed in bed longer, and started to msg Qkho to meet me for lunch at suntec... surprisingly, she's awake! =p but she said at 2 O_o' whew.. ill probably dead (if i dun eat) by then... XD

Then wijen said he's going to my favourite cheap sushi place mwahahaha.... so ya.. met him for lunch, which would take about 1 hour, and then meet qkho, right?

Apparently qkho said she's going to take her own sweet time to get out of the house.. so wijen said 'gw mau ke atas dulu... then go bugis before finally we go to suntec, k?' alritey.. He was going to sign up for gym..

It never occurred to me, NEVER NEVER NEVER occurred to me, that the gym 'tour' would take soo long O_o'

Nyway, u all know wad gym that is, right? (clue: cathay)... huehuee.. n yes, it was super nice! bling bling, friendly staff, showing us around the facilities... and the bathroom... omigosh!!! the ladies are just super posh!! big locker rooms, very neat and tidy decor... the steam room... the bathrooms.... the lady showed me that they actually provide 'basic' stuff for ladies to look good out of the gym, such as hair dryer, gel/wax, etc etc etc... can u beliv that??!! (maybe u can, but it was seriously the first time i stepped in to a gym THAT nice..)...

After that, began the negotiating part.... they cut down the price by 1/2!! (n still expensive to me) mwahaha.. but wijen said he's gona think about it first... so, after being detained for a little bit longer with 'i dont want to force you to sign up today, but why wait? dont u think blblablabal'...

Eh wait... at this point in time, i was already thinkin, maybe i should join,... hm? not bad.. good experience.. maybe i could tone up and be 'healthy'.. hehe.. furthermore, fitnessfirst is subsidised by my company leh.. not bad.. can get corporate rate =p

And then, we headed out of cathay... n wijen was saying 'go bugis? ato ke california ya?' coz aparently, he went to california before, and he was supposed to make decision (as the 'gym consultant' ~ wadeva that job title means~ has already kinda 'pestered' him into joining..).. he said it would be better if i could give an opinion... so i thought, y not? since california is alot cheaper, wijen might have been thinking alot about it too, eh?

So, since the image of the blink blink gym is still fresh and imprinted in mind, we took bus to california.... n the gym consultant is surprisingly, an indo lady.. she was kind and humorous.. really fun to talk with... she showed me around the gigantic gym.. 3 levels all together (never had noticed before also =p haha..) after 10 years of walking past that place..., today was the first time i stepped into that building.. it was almost a different planet all together... the place is full with many many many equipment lined together side by side, occupying spaces as efficient as possible.. it was saturday afternoon (abt 3.30? yes we spent a looonnngg time in fitness first O_o) n surprisingly, alot of people were working out!! Went to the 2nd floor and saw the vast difference of the ladies' washing room =p

Side note: i was pretty shocked to see some of the erhm.. members.. went out of the shower erhm.. naked.. or they just covered their fronts.... n some of them were opening lockers with their bare buttocks visible to everyone... another important note: not all of them are youngsters hor...................

Back to the story.. here's the 'main' story... to finish the 'tour', the gym consultant asked one of the 'personal trainer' to help me check my BMI, (body mass index, btw), and wadever else..

When i was on the scale, he asked "howz ur daily diet is like?" i was like 'Nothing at all.." he said 'see wad, like wad, eat wad?' n i told him "yep.."

N then, he said 'okay.. ne-te-li-ae, before i see the results, i can even tell that you actually have loose joints..' i was like 'WAD D HELL WAS THAT? o_O sounds scary right!!!' this might be because there are not enough muscle in your body to (i 4got wad the reason is..) when was the last time u work out?' erhm... when? hm... my last NAFA test? which is like... probably 4.5 years ago? =p

Here come the results!!!!

Your weight is 45.9kg... at this stage, you are actually underweight....... HEH?? GOT MEHH? the normal weight is to be 51kg.. i told him that ive never been able to put on weight no matter how much I eat.. n tada... here's the answer "you cant put on weight because there's not enough muscle.." so, i HAVE TO actually bring it up to 51kg....

Then, the presence of muscle is only erhm.. paiseh lah dowan to tell u... but it's almost as good as saying there's no muscle at all XD

The protein intake is too low... yea right! I eat protein food everyday leh! how can! O_o n I forgot wad his answer was.. sorry.. maybe it was a forgettable answer XD or simply too complicated to understand

Next, he said 'looking at the fat counts, you are actually OBESE....' XD XD... understand? it is almost 105%... and it's gona be fatal in the future, affecting the poor heart... it might cause oestophorosis (is this how u spell it?) or heart attack or stroke.... DAMN O_O'!!! aint that scary??!!

"So, even though you look thin, you are actually obese..."

Then, the rest of the story, is that he and the other gym consultant tried to persuade me to join lah.. but i dun think so lah =[ quite far leh.. maybe should try the one in my office first mah... so, they gave me 1 week free pass instead..

Then, wijen finally signed up and settled his particulars.... and again, he too was consulted by the same 'personal trainer' almost the same way as me O_O' he said that wijen has not enough muscle (i forgot to see wad was written on his paper, though) and said that he should watch his diet as he, too, is OBESE XDXDXDXDXDXD

Because wijen has already signed up for the membership, he went on further showing wijen wad the different kinds of food is in which category (nt sure).. then he was busy with a calculator, and showed only a 3 digit price.. $15X.... for training upper and lower body.............. XD wijen declined with stupid reason "ive got a friend who can teach me how to train properly"... of COURSE that's the loophole.... The personal trainer said 'no lah.. everybody has different body, and not because ur friend knows a great deal you shouldnt be asking him because his method might not be right..' wadeva....!! wijen said he'll think abt it upon few weeks after joining... and the personal trainer 'no.. the price will go up..' and wijen said the last word : 'Nevermind that..' XD XD XD

So, that's my day XD im thin and obese at the same time.. when i was telling qkho, she said they might not be telling the truth.. it might be to do with their way marketing strategy XD XD... wadever it is, i think i should exercise, no? XD
