Sick Cat

Oh great, now my flu virus has mutated…so now instead of a runny nose, I have a blocked nose!!! Right now, I am alternating between breathing like Darth Vader or opening and closing the mouth like goldie the goldfish…(mumbling incomprehensibly)…I still find it hard to wake up this morning as my body seemed to have grown some roots and strapped itself to the bed…well, the truth is, actually, my body is still aching. I should really visit the masseuse before my arms and legs detached themselves in protest! Yesterday afternoon, I was determined to skip gym for the day and go shopping instead, in a desperate attempt to prove to my friends and (myself) that I have a life besides gym. However, come evening, I was “swayed” into going to the gym again! Sigh! What can I say? I’m a softie who is easily persuadable… And just now, my colleague just told me that I looked very ‘charn’ and sick cat today…Ouch! That really makes me feel on top of the world right now!...not….Hmmm, to see or not to see…that is the question? The doc, I mean…oh well, will see how it goes by nightfall perhaps…*sniggering and snorting*…

After gym-ing yesterday, we had a little fiesta not unlike a pot-luck thingy though the food was provided by one person only! Well, there goes my resolve into abstaining food after gym…again! Had some lemang, curry and rendang chicken (which I love and which I also know is very fattening) Anyways, I reasoned I did the entire class and I didn’t slack too much (which is a denial statement to console myself cos I did slack due to knee pain), so I can afford to indulge a little…oh, the cookies were heavenly (not sure whether it was cos I was hungry or otherwise)…very buttery and stuff…like M & Ms, they just melt in the mouth (before it has the opportunity to melt in my hands, I may add) hahahahaha… One of the gym members was busy helping himself to some ketupat (most of it in fact) and I chided him for being such a cheapskate and treating the ‘little makan’ as his dinner!! Now, I know why I love going to gym so much…mostly, it’s the “company” and friends that we love to gather (and gossip about other people) after exercising. Of course, the exercise itself has to be enjoyable too otherwise I would have given up 3 months down the road…which was what happened to me at my previous gym.
