The fitness first top 5 list

It is time yet again for me to crack my head to come up with some list. What easier list can I think of other than the top 5 things that went on in the gym(Malaysian) that left me dumbfounded.

5. Guys that wear really short shorts. Sometimes the vision reminds me of the volleyball playing girls in mero attack but in a really scary way. I think the safe length is knee length or just above the knee, or even better wear long pants. Short shorts just plain ridiculous lah.
4. At times the gym can look like the United Nations, what with the IOI mall gym, that I usually go to, being so close to colleges which students come from all corners of the world. With that of course you get to experience the different cultures of the world as well as exotic smell. You know its one of those things like durian, which can be offensive to other people. Safe to say, remember to bathe before going to the gym, especially in the morning.
3. The makcik who bring tupperware to tapau the free soft drinks. Typical ugly malaysian.
2. Malay dudes who talk loudly in the locker room, talk in Malay but refer themselves as "you/I"..... wat the hell is this mann..... this is just plain weird
1. The dude(s) with headphones on, listening to mp3 player, dancing alone in the corner like a madman. I mean what the *&^%?

Lets recap the last list that I did(this is like 2007 list).... and these things still happen....
1. Resting on a gym machine, while picking nose. This is top notch skill indeed.
2. Use hair dryer to dry arm pit. I can still tolerate people drying their body and feet (from a distance) with hair dryer, but it is just ridiculous on armpit. I am just waiting to see someone using hair dryer to blow their u-know-what hair. I think I will lose my mind and smack the guy on the head should this happen.
3. Pee in the shower. These people think their pee smell like perfume and make the whole shower area stinking like animal cage.
4. Fill 1.5 litre bottle at the water cooler. Yes I understand we want cool water to refresh after a good workout, and they dont serve cold water in the jugs, but out of courtesy, use a cup or smaller bottle la. The water cooler is not discharging water at jet speed...
5. Produce 'orgasm' sounds when doing weight training or whatever. This is totally unnecessary, and it doesnt help with anything. If anything, it just make u look plain ridiculous.

Bid to keep this alive

Yee Sang

This probably is my favourite raw veggie/salad dish. I dunno what exactly are in it, but one thing for sure it either comes with fish or jelly fish, well at least these are the ones that I have had, and a host of colourful finely sliced mix veges and crackers, all kind of 'united' by the plum sauce. I know for sure there is a lot of orangey stuff in it, which I presume to be carrot. If thats the case, I cant imagine eating raw carrot any other way. And of course the tossing, as high as you can. This is one of the purest moments of happiness. I mean if tossing food dont make you happy or at least smile a bit, I dunno what to say.

Yam Seng

It always start with some "yam seng". You know dinners that usually require some lucky draw to actually prevent people from leaving.... as people start to get full they just want to go back. What wonderful way to spice up the occasion, just get someone to start the yam seng thing. Next thing you know, everyone would be yam senging and people just get comfortable. Usually one thing would let to another and people would start standing on chairs or acting weird, or even worse reveal their true colors.

Balik kampung rush?

Quite surprised that quite a number of people were in office today. Figured that those who were are KLites, most of them left after lunch anyways. Quite a few for sure braving the north south highway traffic during this peak season. Really wanted to go back to Kuching, kinda depressed that I cant. I feel like I have to become a strategist now. For example, lunch strategy. People who seem to go to zen or secret recipe and all those places all the time for lunch.... I just dont get it. I mean where do all these people get their money from... considering some of them are fresh out of college. For lunch, really need to go with people on the same page, ie either broke or dont mind cheap food.

whatever happened to Tom Brady

Superbowl

I have not been following football for quite a while now, be it college or NFL.... but Giants winning the superbowl, now that is shocking. I wonder what Rafiq is gonna say to that tomorrow....

Super Tuesday

Based solely on an article in Time magazine I am rooting for Hillary Clinton LOL. Shes got plenty of experience and is definitely ready. Obama.... hes the spring chicken but have the charm and the wow factor as well as a symbol of hope. Ideal scenario is Hillary become president and Obama vice president....

What would voters base their decision on? Based on my experience in the US, they are pretty ignorant on politics, international affairs etc. Now these are college educated people, let alone an average American living in the corn fields of iowa.

To vote or not to vote

When I listen to speeches given by our politicians, sometimes its like theyre trying to communicate with a retard. Sometimes they do customization, highly intellectual forum in urban areas and speaking like a retard to villagers and those less educated. They need to adapt to the audience, but thats not the point here. I mean voters can be swayed just by the charm of a politician who stressed on retarded points.
