Run Fahrin Run!

I have to admit.. it has been AGES since I last visited the gym.
Of course, I have endless of excuses..
The last I recall, I promised myself I'll go back to my gym routine after my US trip.
Well, it has been 20 days!
So finally.. today, no excuse.. I went to my good ol' gym.

I took my time, changed into my gym attire.
Looked at the aerobic class.. Body Combat.. nah, I'll skip. It started 10 mins already.
So, headed downstairs. I hop onto this treadmill thingy (it has a hand thingy too.. I dunno what's it called!).
Set time for 30 mins, and off I go.

I looked at the series of big screen TVs infront of me.
Simpsons. Sports. ah-ha.. Amazing Race Asia 2. Perfect.
It was the episode where they had to fly to Germany.
So here I am..huffing & puffing.. reading the subtitles (obviously can't hear anything from the TV screen, except for the upbeat-like music from the gym's stereo), trying to concentrate at what's happening on TV.
My workout was good..I was 5 mins into my running, and I am all for it! Go meen Go!

After looking at the screen, I find myself looking at something familiar. Well, it looks familiar, but its not..
The face angle..the ears..
Then I realized...I saw Mr Bert's celebrity twin.
He was on the treadmill...RIGHT infront of me..



And the world couln't get any smaller..haha
I was so DISTRACTED!! in a good way of coz! :p
He was wearing black shorts (yes.. I could see his muscular legs!)
And..he was wearing a black singlet.
And of course..I saw the noticeble ARMS...

Oh no no meen..concentrate! concentrate! run.. run...
He was running too..
He runs super fast..then he jogs..then he runs again..and he jogs.
I noticed he was more focused on his running rather than the tv.
Wherelse I was focusing on him rather than the tv...hehe..
But I was trying my hardest not to be obvious.

So I "acted" as though I was serious in my run too.
I ran faster..not as fast as him.
I looked busy.. good.
I started to sweat.. very good.
But time to time..I looked infront. Kononnye nak tengok TV.. then I looked at him.
Those buffy arms!!
Oh no..concentrate meen! run meen run!

I was playing the "run, look, run, look " game for about 20 mins.
I had 5 mins to go, I was prepared for my cool down.

Then, suddenly, he stopped, turned around (facing me) and sat on the threadmill.
Woooaahhhh..........He has a good view of me! (and vice versa of coz!)
So, I had to run elegantly (berlari dgn penuh keayuan konon!)
Dah lah I am all sweaty..in my gym clothes!
But..obviously he didn't look at me. He was drinking his water. Taking a break from his run.
I saw his treadmill. He ran about 36 mins.

The next thing I know..my time was done.
And, he left too..taking his towel & drinking bottle.
We went opposite ways.. He headed straight to those weight machines.
And I am left..speechless..hehehe

This is actually my 2nd/ 3rd encounter with him at the gym.
But this was the CLOSEST range ever!
I wish I have the guts to just say hi to him.
(One thing about me & celebs, I am so the MALU to jumpa them..)
Or, tell him how much he looks like Mr Bert.

Tapi..actually, they don't really look alike.
I mean, they do, they have certain features (especially from side view)
But, from the front..lain sgt.
I can't wait to take a pic of BOTH of them together.. one sweet day!
I can tell, he is a nice & friendly person to talk to. ;)
Oh gosh..I can't believe I am having a celebrity crush with somehow who looks like Mr Bert.
Takpelah..at least muka sama..*winks*

So,that was my gym story for the day.
Not bad for a comeback, right?
Okay meen..the MORE reasons to go to gym...tee hee hee..

Btw, here is my favourite pic of the moment.
My nephew & my fiance, both in stripey red Lacoste baju.
Chomel sgt! (^_^)
