The New SAFRA Gym

O....M....G.... I weighed myself for the 2nd time into my 5 day old diet and i'm still losing weight despite the crap i have been stuffing into my face the past week. So pleased :) My initial expectations was that i'll put on 2 to 3 kgs in the initial part, like what happened after my 1st diet. A few days ago, i checked that my weight was 1kg up from last weekend. By today, i already lost that 1kg and a bit more on top of that. OK, stay calm... don't get too excited, deep breathes.

Had to pick up something near Telok Blangah so decided to visit the spanking new SAFRA Bukit Merah (??) or they call it SAFRA Telok Blangah, or Mt Faber??? Whatever. First thing that i hated, it is glass walls all around. Oh no, so Cali gym wannabe. Went in and to my horror, it was about the same size as the old gym (as if that was not small enough) but the difference now is they added more machines so the place was so cramped :(

And yesterday being their 3rd day of operation, the population of gym-goers has tripled from a usually less than 10 crowd to yesterday's more than 20 crowd. Then with the crampiness, there is like no place for you to "hang out" its like you have to be at a certain spot to do certain thing or else clear off.... that type of feeling lor. BLEAH, so disappointing. And the changing room only has 2 tiny benches, down from the 3 they used to have >:(

ok, ok, on the plus side the swimming pool was just next to the side door so if the glasses don't fog up too much, you can actually see if got any action happening there or not :P will go swimming there one fine afternoon.

When i went to take my shower, i stepped into a shower cubicle, hung up my towel, proceeded to the shower tap and instinctly looked up at the shower head. WTF??? Where's the shower head?!?! Don't tell me this cubicle still not ready yet. Then i looked overhead, OMG, the shower head is those large overhead types that give you the rain effect, machiam like those used in spas or something. Oo oo, must try! must try! so i turned it on and i was like chey.... no big deal what, ok lah, maybe i don't need to spin around anymore but if i don't spin around then how i know got people peeping or not, haha.

One problem with their showers though, it is installed with a Delayed Reaction Device (haha)... bloody almost scalded myself because the cold water takes a few seconds to react and by the time you find out its too cold, it takes another few seconds to get hot again. The pipes are too long i guess.

Met up with Kevin for a second evening in a row, that's an achievement since most people i meet change their handphone numbers after our first meeting, haha.... kidding lah :P Managed to get his mp3 cable from my friend, silly boy threw his cable away during his spring cleaning and have been complaining about his world of silence. Met his Da Jie as well, found him a bit on the quiet side though. Sent both of them home while enjoying the conversation we had. For the second night in a row, Kevin dropped something in the car... hmmm.... must be his ploy for us to meet again... haha. The previous night was his mobile, which i fortunately saw before he walked away, last night was his lighter which was too dark to see. tsk tsk, so careless :P
