I decided to boy-cott this quarter’s Les Mills launch. Somehow, I’m not as psyched as before what with the spreading of the different LM program launches to the various outlets this round. Or perhaps the enthusiasm of rushing into the studio and getting splashed by buckets of sweat on the face and body (by instructor and members alike) and the occasional “ice-skating” on the slippery floor, bad sweat smell from studios with no ventilation has waned over the years. Gees, I’m definitely growing up! I remember previously when I used to attend most of the launches to the point of dragging my friends in order to book a spot. Even the instructors who were doing the launches could recognise me and branded me as “fanatic” albeit thrilled that I was there supporting them (well, that’s what they said anyway…they asked me to go for the launches but feigned shock when I really turned up…what gives?). When they used to do the launches in all the outlets, it’s not unusual to see me in at least 4 to 5 of them, well for BC at least. The rest like RPM, BP or BS, I do it if the time permits and there were no clashes in the schedule.
Anyways, I told Ah Boon that I might go support his BS launch with the Menace on Mon with some disclaimers thrown in like “I had to work” or “I was stuck in traffic” or “I missed a turn and headed off to Neverland instead in which case it’s much nearer to turn back and go home” (all of which had actually happened before) of course. *Chuckle* Otherwise, if I don’t turn up, I’ll get a earful and a pointing finger from him.
This time round, my excuse (wholly legitimate) was I had to go downtown for a lunch appointment with the auditors so I gotta make up for it when I get back to the office or at least show my face till an “appropriate time”. Gosh, sometimes I wonder why is it that the time spent acting like a GRO doing PR for your company doesn’t count as work? When you come back to the office, the pile of work is still there nicely stacked and waiting for you….duhhhh…talk about eating with “back of the body bone down” (pui chak kuat lok), a chinese proverb which means there’s no free lunch in this world. Anyways, I got ready to move my butt when my boss appeared in front of me, well almost…as she could see me zipping off so I sat down again and went back to my work. *Sigh* Sometimes, I wonder….Have I sold my soul to the company?
I packed after staying for another hour and went home instead to have dinner and parked in front of the idiot box to watch “America’s Top Model” (Cycle 7). Gees, there’s just something about watching semi-nude women parading around pretending to be models with fake airs and graces and think they owned the world bitching about each other that has such entertaining value. Yesterday’s episode showed the models having a total hair makeover and some of them bawled their eyes out when their beloved hair was snipped off. Whoa, if somebody gave me a free hair makeover, I’ll be ecstatic, more so if it’s by a well-known stylist. I mean after all, the hair is gonna grow back wat, not like it’s gonna stay that way forever….tsk, tsk, tsk…The coolest one I think is AJ’s, the girl standing 3rd from the left in the photo above…really spunky and edgy…hmmm, me rike!
After reading so much of the new best TV comedy, 
my aunt who was cremated when she passed away had bones which were black in colour. I was told it was due to the heavy medication that she used to take when she was alive so I reckon too much of this western medication is really bad. Back to my panel doc, the docs consist mainly of datuks and neneks. Seriously, I am not exaggerating. Now, I know why they take more than 10 min for each patient…..However, to be fair to them, at least they give heavy dosage that can cure the illness.
In comparison, my previous company’s panel doc….gosh, they give such mild dosages and hardly ever give out MCs. And there they are, with their canggih pc in front of them, typing while asking questions, fuiyoh, i thought they are very professional one wor but each time oso have to see the doc more than once before can get well wan…aiseh, not to mention the long waiting line again….that’s why I loathe going to panel docs so given a choice, I’ll always go back to my own doc.
wait. Unfortunately, i mistakenly thought it was starting at 9.30pm but in fact it had already started at 9.00pm so i missed half the show. Arrrrrggghhhh…and the pilot is a 2-parter….aiseh, potong steam saja!!! But i find the guy who can paint the future and the cheerleader who is indestructible rather intriguing especially the part where she shoved her hand into the sink and her hands came out all bloody-looking….then starts to heal itself with the blood dripping, just like Wolverine’s healing powers…Cool!
