On 2^nd October, Gabriel ‘Stickman’ Loi was working out in the gym with Stormy Normy when a stranger approached him and tried to pick him up. At that intense moment, where muscles are aching and the brain is lacking oxygen, ‘Stickman’ gladly reciprocated the friendly gesture and gave the stranger his phone number. It was a move which sparkled exciting actions that happened in the gym later on.

As ‘Stickman’ was working out his chest with the free-weights bench press, the unknown stranger came to assist him by being a spotter. What followed next was totally beyond one’s imagination. The stranger actually took the opportunity to caress ‘Stickman’ chest and he explained that he was afraid that the bar would collapse on ‘Stickman’. What an excuse!! But he said it with sincerity and ‘Stickman’ just had to accept that explanation despite being violated.

That was not the end to ‘Stickman’ tormented time in the gym. When he was doing squats with the hydraulic machine, he was visually harassed by the stranger. As ‘Stickman’ was working out his quads, the stranger was actually looking and observing ‘Stickman’ body curvature as though there was some magnetic attraction between them. What a Sick guy to have in the gym!

After the gym session, during dinner, ‘Stickman’ was exclusively interviewed by e-rugby.

e-rugby: So what do you got to say regarding this horrific incident?

Stickman: I felt traumatized by the whole incident and was helpless at that time. The fact that Stormy left me in the lurch just made me feel as if I am gonna be dinner for that monster.

e-rugby: What advice do you have for your fellow teammates who intend to go gym?

Stickman: I just want everyone to watch out for this monster in the gym. He was sick. And also to go there with a reliable partner who can take care of you. Lastly, never wear a skimpy outfit like what I wore.

e-rugby: Some words of wisdom that was. Anyway, hope that you can get over this whole incident soon and be ready for the NUS 7’s in a couple of weeks’ time. Ciao!
