Perspiration and Palaver
April 18th, 2006
so there i was, at gym, on the treadmill, going at a speed of 7.5 on my 12th minute, staring bleakly at the numerous tv screens splayed across the wall before me, trying not to think of anything, but unsucceeding successfully.
out of the corner of my eye, i see a buff guy in a tight army green shirt walking in my direction. surprise surprise, he gets on the treadmill next to mine and attempts conversation.
“hey, gorgeous, love your top! where did you get it?”
at this point i dont know whether to roll my eyes first, or throw my sweaty towel at him first, or if i should do both simultaneously. i think i’ve said this before, i totally cannot stand it when guys pick me up at the gym. cos not only is it annoying, but there is also absolutely *ZERO* potential of the relationship going anywhere further than the stepper machine. i wish they would catch me during the times i am not excreting natrium chloride from my epidermis, or maybe when i’m feeling prettier in the sense that my hair is not plastered to my forehead, so that conversation would be more than just me shooting a glare at them and biting out, ‘dont talk to girls when they are working out’ and then ultimately stalking off the machine, leaving them in open-mouthed dumbfoundedness.
i grabbed my towel, wiped down, and turned to look at the guy. okay, quite cute. an arrogant, plumey, stuck-up kind of cute .. but cute nonetheless. must. resist. from. glaring. and. biting. out. even though his opening line was so stupid. i mean come on, “where did you get your top”?? aunties in mid valley stop me to ask me that, not potential playmates!!!
i slowed my speed down to a 5.5 (i am so assiduous about this, it must be 5.5 for walking), looked at him and said,
“from the back of my closet.”
he grinned an Ee Yang grin (you all know this grin..) and said “that isnt very helpful.”
wah, england good. i like even more.
“why do you like it? there isnt anything so special about it.” after all, it was just a turqoise tank top with little silver squares all over it.
“it’s just cute.”
at this point i was puzzled. where is the mandatory “.. like you!” tag?! shit, am i losing my cuteness?!?!!?!?!?!
“it’s from Reebok. i got it ages ago though. hence my first answer, from the back of my closet.”
“oh okay Reebok, gotta check out their stuff. i always liked Adidas better. well, see you around then. thanks, darling! mmmwahh.”
and that’s it. that was when he walked off. interest piqued, i turned around to look at him saunter away.
the butt sway and the extended palm and the refined ‘ling’ in darling was what confirmed it for me. not that i had any prior clue, but …
he’s gay!!!
no wonder he was so interested in my top lah!!! perasan me.
(actually, over the weekend i heard the FUNNIEST gay pickup line. it was the fucking funniest. so crude, but damn funny. here it is :
“excuse me, can i push in your stool?”)

7. FuGZ | April 19th, 2006 at 1:53 am
Hahah..
Well, i guess that’d be a piece of wise advice for guys who’d attempt to approach a chick for a conversation.

Good one there..”from the back of my closet”.
And the moment you mentioned he’s gay!!!
guess what…Jude came into the picture. When you mentioned the pick up line, i could SO imagine Jude saying that.
No offence. He’s a cute gay tho. Very nice person:D
That bulky dude is gay? Why so turn off wan. Bryanboy is the absolute she- man okay. I often cringe at his dressing. like duh… damn gay okayyyyyy…beh tahan betul.
oh yeah..which gym do u go too?
9. argee | April 19th, 2006 at 2:47 am

but i still think gyms can be a decent hunting ground ;)
it’s all about the timing.lol

the guy’s Q was already a dead giveaway that he’s gay… u need a gay-dar, sweetie ^_~

I must admit I thought along the gay lines when he kept on about the t-shirt. On an aside, gay guys make really wonderful “girlfriends”.
And wow, I can never carry out a decent conversation on the treadmill – I have my Ipod in my ears and am too busy huffing and puffing away!
