Gym in Shanghai

It was not just the fat attached all over makes me feel the guilt, but at the same time, the attention from everyone. Really, not just my parents, but also all my relatives, are worrying about my weight problem.

I know, I always know, that I've got at least 10 kg to lose. So I paid for the gym at ANU; I called out for my diet plan almost everyday; I bought those replacement meal thingy.......But it's about how seriously I take this problem I geuss, it's not how much I say I will do it.

The fact is, it never hit me. All the time, say since I was like 16, I've never thought it's urgent to lose weight, I'm not determining enough to do this.

A friend of mine says it's ok jofan, you're happy not on a diet. But everybody else says jofan, you'll live happier when you're lighter, because then you won't be bothered by all this losing weight crap. I agree to both of them. But just indecisive. So I casually work out, and casually put myself on diet.

It's casual. So mum and I went to this gym close to home. It was huge!!!!! And luxurious!!!! I should have brought my camera with me to show you guys.....haha, more interestingly was the people working out in there. They are mostly oldies! like 40 something people, wearing thongs. I mean, serious, I know doing weight training might not need you to wear sneakers, but man! That looks really funny. Chinese people treats gym as their own home, dressed absolutly imporperly.

After 1 hour cardio, I went into the changing room, exhausted, not expecting to get shocked or embarrased in any way. But I guess the reality never is so wishing. So I bump into a room of women, nakedly blow dry their hair, chatting, clip their toe nails.....I was like, WOW! Who said Chinese are conservative? They're open! Freely doing anything without any, I mean any clothes. And the clearns were just beside, you know, holding their mops in masks, watching everything. I mean, maybe not the naked bodies, but just doing their jobs. But but but, my point is, it was just way very weired@@!!!! I was shocked.

There was actually pointless to showered before going home. Because ever though it was just 20 minutes walk, I was all soaked again by the time I got back....

Anyway, hoping to see more interesting things in Shanghai in the next 18 days. And I'm going to, yes I'm seeting a goal here, go to the gym everyday! gogogo~!
