woke up today. and after lying in bed for a while, got up, had a bath, brushed my teeth and got changed into my sweats to go to the gym.

and when i got up, both the elliptical machines were used by people.

which is awfully weird since the gym's usually relatively empty.

so nevermind. they came first.. let them use it.. whatever.

the irritating thing is.. these old fitness junkie tai-tais (who the hell wears *makeup* to the gym) don't seem to know the half hour per machine rule.

and the thing is, the machine only programs up to 30 minutes anyway. so they kind of have to stop..

but they go on.. and press restart again.

and again.

so i get fed up and cycle next to them.

and they are so obviously not 41kg la.

i don't get why people need to lie about their weight even to the cross trainer machine thingy..

they should have a built in weighing scale to bring these deluded taitais back to earth.

so anyway, using the machine for 45 minutes straight.. is bad enough. when they decide that they've had enough, the walk out and leave their towel and waterbottle and handphones and everything all over the machine so that people like me can't use it.

and it's irritating to just have to stand there and watch her stretch in some weird para para way and pretend to lift weights..

and she *knows* i'm waiting for the machine.

...hog.

so that was one hour gone. waiting for the two taitais who act like the gym belongs to them only.

hmph.

did 8km today. which is not bad.. i think. well for me, at least.

and then got home.

and "lurch"ed around the house a bit.

and waited for dinner to come so me and mom could go for steamboat.

which was horribly disappointing.

i kept telling her about the marina bay place soh ee brought me to where's there's so much more variety and it's only $6 per head.. just that there's absolutely no service, and live, jumping prawns that you kind of have to wash and kill yourself..

did a bit of cleaning today.

a bit of my room, but mostly the rest of the house.

vacuuming and mopping mostly. and loser stuff like emptying wastepaper bins..

we've got guests coming over tomorrow.
(or today, if you consider the fact that it's past midnight..)

class party tomorrow.

argh you little buggers.
now i have to go book the bbq pit first thing in the morning.

and buy charcoal and firestarters..

and then i'll end up all grubby faced to meet mel at strip to get her legs waxed.

guess i shuold get some sleep then.
