The 3Fs -- Fitness, Food & Furniture

I woke up at 9am today to wake Jer up for her driving lesson just in case she overslept. I had confused her lesson time by an hour but it is always better early than late. =P I had a light breakfast and began my weekly routine of sweeping and mopping the house.

At 11.30am, Jer finished her lesson and called me. I had wanted to go for yoga but she suggested to go for gym @ Planet Fitness instead. I'm fine with it since it has been a long long time I last entered a gym. I packed my bag before going to her house.

We went to the Planet Fitness @ Vivo City. We got our locker keys and went to change. When I came out of the locker room, Jer was already being tackled by one of the personal trainers there. As such, I went to do some workout by myself and constantly checking on her before she made any moment of impulse decision. After a while, Jer was sitting at a table talking to the trainer. Seeing that and knowing what they were discussing, I went over and looked at what the trainer was writing on a piece of paper. I remembered a portion of the content and here goes:
1s -- $120
12s -- $100
24s -- $85 (it should be around this figure)
36s -- $75
For those of you who do not understand the above, do follow me:
's' represents a session of 1 hour and the price next to it indicates the cost for per session.

I told Jer that it was too dear and reminded her that when I signed up for personal training at True Fitness, I got a scolding from her. The package I signed up was only $321 with GST included for 6 sessions. Compared to the one quoted by the trainer, it is a difference of earth and heaven! The trainer was very persuasive and I began to debate with him on the issue of signing up. He does make a point on the things he said but I can provide FOC personal training for Jer whom nobody will be willing to do so haha! So in the end, we left the trainer sulking at the table while we continued with our workout. We also agreed that the trainer doesn't look so fit himself as he has the biggest stomach among all the trainers. Muhahaha!

We actually wanted to exercise for an hour but ended up spending 2 hours on it. We went to wash up and had an early dinner at HK Kim Gary restaurant. A look at the menu stunned us almost immediately. There are so many food to choose from and the food mostly have cheese on it! My favorite yeah! We ordered the followings:
1) One Cheese & Bacon baked with Potato Skin
2) One French Fries in Seaweed Flavour
3) One Baked Rice Chicken Chop in Twin Sauce
4) One Supreme Pork Chop Curry with Rice
The food came and we had a hearty and sinful dinner. There goes all the training we had put into earlier on... Haiz..

After dinner, we went to IMM to shop for furniture. During the bus journey, Jer was so tired that she dozed off. When we alighted at the designated bus stop, Jer wanted to go to The Furniture Warehouse @ Osim Distribution Centre level 1 just opposite IMM. Jer wanted to buy the furniture already but I felt that it was too early to do so until we have finalize the colours for the house. We did see a few that we like but we just KIV first. Next we went to IMM to take a look. We found similar furniture selling in the shops but the price is slightly higher. =( We had wanted to ask Sebasten to bring us to the shop where he wanted to show us the bed frame but he was attending to a couple.

So we went home and Jer decided to sleep early.
