I thought I looked unfriendly?!

Don't know why there have been people wanting to chat with me in gym recently. Don't like it but it's just too impolite and rude to ignore.

I usually have just enough time to change then go for classes so I really do not have time to make small chats about the weather, my big, red, sturdy, beautiful gym bag, and how much food we ate during CNY.

Further, I cannot tahan people who instead of swimming, would frolick and play in the already rather small pool, chat with friends or on the telephone and thus blocking other people's space in the changing room or walking area in the gym proper. I really do not aspire to belong in this category of people.

I just want to do my stuff in the gym then go home. I don't need to make friends there. Sigh....why am I so anti-social?

Ay Elaine Ng, how come we like that huh? Is it the result of NYJC or only-child syndrome acting up?

I don't know about you but mine was just part of my DNA, certainly no credit goes to my 10 years of convent schooling, 2 years in college, 3 years doing my first degree, and another 2 years doing my masters part time.

I just don't like socialising, it's not me, and i don't care to make small talk. How dull.

But i do know some people go to gym not to exercise, but to pose and be seen and chat. It's like a lifestyle for them, i saw it at the gym when i used to go. I could not understand it though, like why the fuck you paying good money to chit chat when you can fucking do it just lazing at some joint with good music and decent coffee?!? Hmm..........

I must tell you this funny thing. Last time i used to go California Fitness (now i'm too lazy of course). There was once after my shower, and i was changing in the locker room (i'm not the prudish kind who will run into the toilets to change). Anyway, this aunty next to me felt compelled to 'remind' me that i did not wear underwear. She saw me pulling up my pants without wearing my undies. Bloody hell. I just told her straight off that i did not forget, and that i do like not wearing it at times, but thanks for noticing and for the kind reminder.

Argh!!!
