Gym 2009

Mon Jan 5 2009

Have been away for one and a half weeks, which means I have not had any dates with CGI II for 3 whole weeks (inclusive of the Saturday he was away, presumably on Her Majesty’s service).

Wed Jan 7 2009

Am so early for the 7.50 PM BodyPump class that it was surreal. I am never this early for any class on a working day.

On the way out of the gym after class, had a one second encounter with the most good-looking guy on the planet who was on his way in for his 9 PM class. He seems to be in good spirits and eager to get to his class.

Sun Jan 11 2009

Attended BodyPump class which used to be RPG’s class. Apparently life must go on without him. Sigh ! Bought two pairs of earrings to console myself. Only RM10 for two pairs. Quite a bargain, I thought.

Fri Jan 16 2009

Wore new pair of dangling earrings to work today. Received a number of compliments. Now if only CGI II had seen me with my pink earrings which was a perfect match for my pink top.

Sat Jan 17 2009

Aah ... my first date with CGI II after so many weeks without catching a glimpse of him. He still looks good and dressed in black today. Our first song of the day : You’re still the one I dream of by Shania Twain. How absolutely appropriate !

Sat Feb 14 2009

Darn it ! Am so late getting out of the house that I will have to miss my Valentine’s date with CGI II ! AARGH !!! Why is this happening to me ?? Can’t get to his class on time !!!

Sun Feb 15 2009

Attending Myke’s class for BodyPump. Although I have been in his classes before, did not realize he has a dazzling smile. At the end of the class, he walked pass and smile. I am instantly struck by how good he looks when he smiles and wondered why didn’t I notice this before ???

Wed Feb 25 2009

I have intentionally left the office early at 6.50 PM (officially off-duty at 6 PM so I shouldn’t have to feel so guilty about leaving the office way before 10 PM !!!) The road is clear, I am able to get to the gym on time but ALAS !!! There is massive jam at the shopping center, as cars are not able to get into the parking lot. AARGH !!! Abandoned all hope of getting to BodyPump class at all.

Determined to have at least some form of exercise today, decided to drive straight home and jog around the neighbourhood.

At 9.10 PM, done with my jog, sat down to dinner while watching Cinderella Story starring Hillary Duff and the handsome bloke from One Tree Hill. He is a romantic poet in this movie (with alter-ego as a star quarterback and most popular guy in school). Would be nice to be Princeton Girl with cute best friend, and handsome Nomad as Prince Charming.

Sun Mar 1 2009

Am again attending Myke’s class for BodyPump. Again at the end of the class, as I walked passed him, he smiled. I am again struck by his dazzling smile. 

Wed Mar 4 2009

Not going for 7.50 PM BodyPump class due to work !!

Sat Mar 7 2009

Am tortured that after CGI II’s class it has started to rain. Aargh !! My beautiful laundry all wet, terribly wet just because I had a date with CGI II !! Life is cruel, cruel ...

Wed Mar 10 2009

Not going for 7.50 PM BodyPump class due to work (again) !!

Sat Mar 14 2009

I find myself at CGI II’s class just in the nick of time. I thought I was going to be late ... my perpetual nightmare. 

Sun Mar 15 2009

Bumped into Myke who is on his way out from BodyCombat class as I was going into the BodyPump class. Nice smile, by the way.

Then at the end of the class, as I was putting away my equipment, nearly bump (literally) into him again and this time said Hi (sort of breathless due to great workout as well as surprise at finding myself next to him).

Wed Mar 18 2009

Am LATE for 7.50 PM BodyPump class !! It was not my fault as there is massive traffic to get thru to get to this class !

Sat Mar 21 2009

Yikes ! Quite complicated steps during CGI II’s class and I had to really, really watch him closely as he was showing us the steps. Please ... I had a valid reason to be staring at his legs ...

Sun Mar 22 2009

No Myke + smile today as his replacement explained that he can’t make it for today’s class. Nevertheless, I had a good work-out with the replacement.

Went for evening jog around the neighbourhood, for the first time in weeks !! First weekend without rain !!

Mon Mar 23 2009

My arm muscles are reminding me of their existence which only proves the point that I had a vigorous work-out yesterday.

Mon May 18 2009

It feels like Sahara Desert. No rain for days !

Wed May 20 2009

Made it for BodyPump class on time ! Hurray !

Most good-looking guy on the planet walked past me, within a few inches of me. Of course he was talking to a female and by the greatest of luck did not trip over me as I was squatting down picking up my stuff from the floor at the end of the class. 

Fri May 22 2009

Went for neighbourhood jog around 10 PM. Yes, it’s late ! But my “no life” life means that this is early getting back from work. It is drizzling but I am mad enough to go for it anyway. 

Sat May 23 2009

First BodyStep class with CGI II after missing out on his classes for 4 whole weeks ! He looks as good as ever.

Wed May 27 2009

Not able to make it for BodyPump class. In fact, worked until midnight. Why ?? Why ?? Why me ??

Started to rain after 1 AM. Hurray ! Able to sleep soundly as it is not so hot.

Thur May 28 2009

Worked until 11.30 PM. Okay, slight improvement from yesterday. I shall refrain from asking the WHY question ...

Fri May 29 2009

Went for neighbourhood jog around 10 PM. Must go for jog to make up for missing out on BodyPump on Wednesday. Dogs barking as I return. This part is not so fun ...

Sat May 23 2009

Going for CGI II’s class. He does have a charming smile. His shy, disarming smile. Which female will not swoon at the sight of his smile, pray tell ? 

Watched I Robots on TV (midnight show). Will Smith has a great body. Why did I not know this before ? Storyline was fantastic as I am an Isaac Asimov fan, and being a person with no life, this is the first time I’m watching it.

Sun May 31 2009

Am back at Myke’s class. Due to missing out on Wednesday’s BodyPump class, am not in tip-top shape for his class. Or it could be due to the new release which has lots of bottom-half. Killing me slowly ...

Fri June 5 2009

Am doing the 10 PM neighbourhood jog as I did not have any exercise for the whole week. No mad, barking dogs today. Just one mad jogger who is tired from a few days of 5 hours sleep but yet finds it imperative to jog at 10 PM on a Friday night. 

Had late dinner, washed my car, cleaned the floors and could not keep my eyes open past 12 midnight. Hit the sack early at 12.15 AM.

Sat June 6 2009

Best sleep for the entire week as I indulge myself and did not wake up until 9 AM. 

Change in class schedule today as it is a public holiday. CGI II is off-duty but I have Myke instead. I can live with this...

Am sweating profusely before class began (panic attack as there are million of cars at the shopping centre) and during class. Sweat is actually dripping off my forehead during the tricep push-ups. 

Myke smiled his charming smile (at me !!!) at the end of the class. Luckily did not walk into any pillars as I left the class. 

Sun June 7 2009

Back at Myke’s class. He’s killing me slowly during the squat track as the bottom halves are carb-buster as well as an endurance test for me. I sometimes wonder why do I go back for more ? Why do I put myself thru this torture ?? It’s a torture yet it’s fun ! Am really tired at the end of the class and could hardly open the door. Somehow it felt really heavy, thanks to Myke’s torture session.

Wed June 10 2009

Decided not to even try to get to the gym class on time. The sacrifices that one must make for the sake of work (again!)

Managed to go for 10 PM jog instead. At least I think it’s 10 PM because I refuse to look at my watch to know the exact time since I know it’s really, really late. 

Fri June 12 2009

Not able to go for my 10 PM jog. Still at work at 11 PM...

Sat June 13 2009

Got to class on time but yikes !! CGI II is not here !! Sound of heart breaking ... again ...

Must say that I am getting a good workout i.e. sweating profusely with CGI II’s substitute. That is a small consolation for my broken heart.

Sun June 14 2009

On time for class ! I am close to setting a personal world record for consecutively being on-time for classes. 

Good work-out with Myke with lots of perspiring, although I did not feel exactly fit for BodyPump class. Goes to show that one must do more than 1 Pump class a week to be fit for this class.

Sat July 4 2009

Back at CGI II’s class after not seeing him for 3 whole weeks ! He looks as good as ever but ... aargh !!! Why are the moves so complicated ??? He must have mercy on me, I can’t handle complex steps. My brain is just not capable of processing so much data at the same time. 

Sun July 5 2009

Being tortured in Myke’s class. Aargh !! No break during the chest track... My arms are wobbly and having problems finishing in a dignified manner. At last ! He said bars down, the sweetest words to my ears at this point in time.

I am so tired after class has ended. The shower felt so good as I washed the sweat away. Feel so much better but am still feeling tired !

Sat July 25 2009

CGI II announced that he will not be around next week. Sigh ! No date with my very own cute gym instructor next week ... Ok, ok, so I have to share him with 10 other girls, more or less.

Sun July 26 2009

After class, while I was still putting my equipment away, Myke walked pass with his bevy of female admirers. He looked my way and gave me his dazzling smile. Managed to smile back instead of fainting on the spot.

Sat Aug 1 2009

Am waiting and waiting for someone to lead us in Step class. Then the bomb was dropped on us. Not only has CGI II abandoned us, there is no replacement guy ! Wander off to do my abs exercise in a cloud of slight disappointment. Guess what ? More calamity befell me. The shower was so hot I could see the steam rising in the cubicle. In vain, I turned it all the way to COLD, but to no avail. In the end had to splash some water on myself instead of having a proper shower to wash away my disappointment.

Saw the notice that I have dreaded to see. My gym being taken over by another gym ! Nightmare ! What if I don’t get to see my favourite gym instructors again ? Why ? Why is this happening to me ? However, notice did reassure that nothing will change ... for now.

Sat Aug 8 2009

Am not at CGI II’s class due to work schedule. Two weeks without seeing CGI II ! Will I be able to make it thru the week ? Apparently yes, because life does have to go on even if CGI II has not appeared in my world for TWO WHOLE WEEKS.

Sun Aug 9 2009

Back in Myke’s class. Have some reservations as this is the first Pump class in a week. Am being tortured in the chest track again. This time he was merciful and chose a track that had a break in between. My thoughtful hero!

Sat Aug 15 2009

Back in CGI II’s class. All is nearly right with the world again. Why is it I have to share him with 10 other girls ?? Am standing quite close to him today that at one part of the routine he is actually walking towards me when I did not move. The routine is slightly more complicated today and he must be pretty annoyed that I am such a slowcoach. Nevertheless, as he was walking towards me, I am struck once again, how absolutely breath-taking he is ... Earth calling CGI fan ! Earth calling CGI fan ! Must get a grip on myself and stop drolling over cute guy !

Sun Aug 16 2009

My thoughtful hero is sick and is not joining us for BodyPump today. Replacement for thoughtful hero is ok, but noticeably less people in class today.

Fri Aug 28 2009

Am having a delightful day-dream about me on a date with CGI II, after his gym class. We are talking and laughing and sitting pretty close to each other. So close that our legs are touching which I absolutely do not mind. And then, just before he is about to ... end of day-dream, back to reality !

Sat Aug 29 2009

CGI II is not in class today. Knew that he won’t be around and dreading a new instructor who might be too ambitious, as in having a complex routine and expecting me, the not too sure-footed, slowcoach to be able to master and dazzle. Fortunately ... it is his usual replacement when he is not around to cause our hearts to go aflutter. 

Sun Aug 30 2009

Was nearly late for Myke’s class due to slow moving traffic. Had 3 minutes to set up my space and Myke walked in with a nice smile, just for me ... and others in the class. Another grueling work-out which is exactly what one needs to get one’s mind off the mountain of work emails that awaits after class.

Mon Aug 31 2009

Today being a public holiday, hurray, I am able to attend an extra Pump class for this week. Although it is not my thoughtful hero’s class, I had a good work-out. We were told the new release will have 16 bottom-half for the squat track and the chest track will last 7 minutes. Am seeing visions of pain and torture even before the new release is launched ...

Then off to work, to clear the mountain of work emails that awaits mercilessly.

Wed Sept 2 2009

Am watching Kyle XY on TV and I am reminded yet again that he is one cute, nice guy that I wish was living next door to. It is a heart-warming episode where Kyle is trying to be there for everyone and in the process seems to be suffering from exhaustion. In the end, he realized that he doesn’t need to be there for everyone all the time because his family is there for each other.

Thurs Sept 3 2009

The war with the email mountain is nearly over. Went for 10 PM jog around the neighbourhood to celebrate.

Fri Sept 4 2009

Back from work late. Late as in too late for 10 PM jog. 

Sat Sept 5 2009

CGI II is back ! And I get to bump into him 3 times, once at the reception area, then as we walked into class together (sort of) and finally, after class where I was too busy watching my steps so that I won’t fall on my face ... in front of him. 

And then I bumped into Myke who was surprised to see me at the gym. Trust me, I was surprised to see him too as his class was at 1.30 PM and it was only 12.30 PM. My first impression – he looks good in his t-shirt and jeans shorts ! A short conversation ensued where I explained I was at Step class earlier and will definitely be at his class tomorrow. Then back to home where it is laundry day and trying to finish off 3 work documents that are overdue as well as prepare my speeches for the next TM meeting. Alas not much work done by end of day on my assignments except for laundry, hair cut, neighbourhood jog, car wash and floor cleaning. Need help !!

Sun Sept 6 2009

My thoughtful hero appeared in class with a new outfit (new to me as I have not seen this before). It is a sleeveless shirt with a cute hoodie. Ahh ... did not realize that he is a man with fashion statements. So many things to find out, which is next to impossible when he is surrounded by his posse of female admirers. It will definitely be a year long mission to know more about him.

As usual, it is a grueling work-out and today, no break for chest track ! Am dying and I am sure my hero saw me stopping two times. However, I am quite sure he chose this track to prepare us for the new release with a 7 minute track for chest. He is still my thoughtful hero despite the torture that I am going thru ... and thoughts of – when will the music end ???
