SMU Gym

As u all know, my latest favorite place lately is the SMU Gym (surprisingly not a mal in Orchard :P) and I am uttering that statement in the most sarcastic, ironic tone as possible.

So, it is only right that I shall post a review of the SMU Gym..

Well, the SMU Gym is indoor and fully air-con-ed so that's always a plus.. and the equipments are pretty much complete, comprehensive and the place is generally well kept. In addition, I shall mention that it is sooo convenient for us SMU students, and the big winning factor of the SMU Gym is that the facility is FREE for SMU students and tell me who doesn't like freebies? :)

The crowd doesn't bother me as I usually go on non-peak hours.. so there's no fighting over machines usage and I love the system they employ in SMU Gym, signing in with our SMU Matric Card, (so no stranger is going to overcrowd the place) and then we are assigned our locker number and the great thing is that the locks are automatic - in a sense that each locker are locked through a set of combination numbers, by our choice, changeable every single time we open and lock it. And if we ever forget the number of the combination, we can always ask the friendly gym staff to unlock it for us with a master universal key. Great great great.

Another perk of SMU Gym is the water cooler inside, and the shower room - complete with water heater = WOW rite?

(though I never really understand why peeps want to shower in the SMU Gym because first of all, the thought of having to bring in all my necessary stuff - which includes a big towel, shampoo, bathsoap, facial wash, a flip flop - which will weigh a TON! And I have a locker in SESS which is located just beside the Gym BUT STILL - it's so NOT comfy to shower anywhere else but home! And I should tell you that some people who doesn't have lockers, they carry around their gym attire everywhere and that is just beyond me! They're either stingy that they do not rent a locker or too stingy to not shower until they got home or really, I have no idea)

Enuff of the good stuff, as u all know, that's the buffer - and I rarely play-NICE all the way.. time for the blunt, brutally honest critics - but admit it, that I only speak the TRUTH!

I hate it when the guys grunt oh so loudly when they are weight-lifting - Show offs

I hate it when the guys open up their shirts in the main arena/public - Show offs

I hate it when the guys stare in the mirror of the locker room to admire their bodies - Show offs!

Oh believe me, there's a BIG bunch of people who just looove to SHOW OFF!

and here's my say: You're so VAIN - get over yourself already!

I'm not even jealous / envious of the peeps, it's just that PLEASE can you guys not do that? Have some dignity! Are you guys too insecure that you need to SHOW OFF in front of everybody?

But then again, I ain't gonna let some scum-douche-bags disrupt my ambition/determination of achieving my fitness/health goal! After all, I (unlike some people I know) can (and have been) practicing SELF CONTROL.. hahaha (those close to me should know how hard and strict I've been regarding my diet) :P

The verdict: SMU Gym is still my favorite place. And I mean it. Seriously. *crossing fingers*
