Lim Peh owns the gym huh?

When SM Goh said that Singapore needs to move towards a "gracious" society, he didn't mean that people should become more gracious physically through toning one's flesh, but rather spiritually. Apparently, this guy in the Khatib gym simply understood it the wrong way.

When ZH HHG and I decided that a bench press would do our touch-me-not areas some integrity, we were visibly miffed by the fact that a blue towel had 'chop-ed' the place. Lamenting about how the gym was already so well peopled and signs were ostensibly labelled on machines reminding people to "share" equipments, this fella either did not understand English or did not have a moral department up there.

The gym veteran ZH HHG then "shared" with me that such culture is common in gyms, and what people usually do is to take the towel and hang it at one side... something which we did, and proceeded with beefing up those parts.

Halfway through my training, a towering brawny figure loomed.
He 出口成"脏" 地 道, "This was my place!"

ZH HHG kept quiet as though a slap had been delivered to his cheek. While I may be a veritable 三脚猫, I am not a 病猫. Once bitten, twice shy. Ever since that experience with the escalator facko accent B**ch in which SL LLG showed only minor interventions, my 九阴三脚猫爪 have already been lying in wait to claim it's second victim (after successfully fending off my first victim who had grabbed me with the wife accusing me, and which I had successfully tamed them thereafter in Orchard. That is another story which I shall indulge if you ask me the next time since there is a lot of drama and only with histrionics on my part would justification be done).

Seeing that ZH HHG had been "silenced", and knowing a riposte would only be effective if delivered quickly, I shot, "But this seat was empty all these while" with the implication that one should not chop the seat. Perhaps I had rated him too highly in EQ points by using indirect expressions, as not only was that mongrel not even apologetic at the least instance, he had the cheek to mutter something like "I was away, yadda yadda..." to which I had by then threw him a dirty look and left. No please, no sorry from this guy throughout. Welcome to the EQ Densa society.

I asked ZH HHG, "Did you pay $2.50?"
ZH: "Yes"
Monologue: "Did I pay $2.50?" , "Of course"... "Then he must have paid $2.60 lah"

My next question, "Why did you keep quiet when he said that?"
Of course, ZH defended himself about being so taken aback by the abrupt rudeness, and he needed some time to let the information sink in for him to assess who's fault it was actually.

At this point, the veritable calm one turned his multi-million face to ZH HHG that there is one moral conclusion I have fathomed a while back. Upon this, ZH HHG was reduced to no more than a convert who has found the divine Bodhi tree and waited for the pearl of wisdom to be casted from my lips.

"Look ZH HHG. Both you and I are good people. And we being good people, always do good things. So when something disrupts our daily way of life abruptly, it must be their fault, to which the only way to correct for such is to be as snappy as possible".
ZH HHG having been enlightened by the Wise One, saw his claws surging out as Wolverine's.
