Had a great thursday afternoon swim with a whole bunch of brothers at NUS. Well we wanna stay and keep healthy and so we decided to swim regularly each week. Well, it was almost all brothers, YauChung’s colleague joined us for swim too.. and…. outswam all us guys, Yikes!
After the swim, I got to hang out with Linyi, Wern and Tze. At Wern and Tze’s place, I finally got my hands on something I wanted to try out. The OSIM PRO THERAPIST!! You know its the thing you see in the TV ads, where these shapely models stick some pads on their tummy and they pass some volts to the muscles causing it to contract. Its of course touted to make you have rock solid abs or whatever you’ve got hidded beneath that layer of lipids!
Here’s how it looks like!
Well, Linyi and myself managed to have a go at it… and the effects were… you can say different.
The pads were placed on the stomach and you have this control pad where you can choose the voltage and current being “zapped” to your muscles. Its quite cool coz you actually feel your muscles tensing and then relaxing. At times I could really feel my stomach muscles trembling vigourously but when I looked at my stomach, I actually saw no movements whatsoever!… I could feel nothing either with my hands… but I could sense the muscles moving?!?!
Then Linyi had a go at it… His stomach moved and his muscles trembled. And it was visible!
Enough said, I know the reason why I could not see any visible trembling or movement…. 
There’s sufficient “padding” to cushion any vibration. In engineering terms… the damping is good lah… Heh heh… Oh well, it has its use too… otherwise how can I float and swim better than the other guys at the pool?? 
Anyway, bible says… The fats belong to the Lord!!
