Eva and Michael L to marry
On the train to work right now, this is like the earliest I have ever been in a long time.
On Sunday I watched Ali. I wasn't totally into it, probably because my mom and sister could be heard yelling all the time throughout the house. But what I did manage to glean from it was that: 1) Will Smith is a hell of an actor, and one of the most versatile; and 2) there are some really good quotes from Ali. Seeing that they've now made a movie about Mike Tyson as well, I wonder if they'll ever make a movie about Michael Jordan, and if so, who will play him?
Yesterday on the bus to work, I was standing and holding onto the rubber dangling things, when suddenly I felt a woman yell out and hold onto the right side of my body. She was apparently trying to get up from her seat for her next stop, but must've stumbled due to the volatility of the bus. Luckily she didn't fall, because she was grabbing onto me. I wonder if she felt that I was a gym-goer.
GS had another matter in the city, so he was a bit late, which meant I was at the bar all by myself for a short period of time! I was pretty excited, even though I was pretty sure the judge wouldn't say anything to me, although I did prepare for it. Sitting there by myself, I felt a lot of feelings:
1) Vulnerable - GS was like a shield, without him there, it meant I was open to attack and I had to stay ready on my feet.
2) Lonely - it's such a big table, enough to fit three people, and there I was, with just my laptop and DY's folder.
3) Sense of responsibility - it was like being the captain of some large aircraft carrier or something. To know, and feel, that you were responsible for that much, I could not comprehend it. Sometimes I really do admire how GS and DC can take on such a case.
GS came back a lot earlier than I expected, which was before morning tea. He just walked in hurriedly while the jury watched on. I wonder what they thought.
It was IN's birthday yesterday, so after I went to get coffee, I managed to join everyone for cake. I think someone joked that there had been many birthdays during this trial, which isn't surprising, since it's been going on for more than a year.
At lunchtime, Rom Rom asked me out to a group lunch. I declined because I had brought my own lunch, and then she was like "awww come on" which was enough persuasion for me. I thought it involved RB as well, but turned out it was just her and Twish. It was probably a mistake to go, because Twish noticed my lunch in the fridge and when we went to our table while Rom Rom was still at the cashier ordering, she said "so what's up with not going to lunch with me, but saying yes when Rom Rom asks you?". I just mumbled some unpersuasive excuse. Not good. Don't think I'm handling this well.
We had a good lunch, but I couldn't help but think how bad of a match Twish would be for me. She actually resembles a lot of my mom - she has a rough way of asking you to do things, she only ever thinks about herself, and she talkstalkstalkstalkstalkstalkstalks like no tomorrow. There really isn't a split second where you can get a word in.
One interesting thing we found out was that Rom Rom's current boyfriend is (or was) her ex-husband's band member. Geez. You never know with people.
At the end of the day, I managed to sneak off while Twish was on the phone.
I went to the uni in the city to prepare a job application, and made some progress, but my internet connection was giving me the shits so I gave up. On the way to the bus stop I ate my lunch and drank my popper.
I went home and then headed out to the gym. Did my abs and cycling, but maybe it was because I've had four days off the bike, my quads felt so tired. I missed out on my 8km in 25 minutes by about 30 seconds. I kept telling myself it was ok to fail, because I'm not in this to race, but to better my knee. However, I couldn't help but push it towards the end to try to reach that goal.
What's worse will be tonight - it's one type of difficulty to train when you haven't done so in a while, it's another when you try to do it with tired muscles.
I wonder what my left knee is thinking - "what did I ever do to you, I'm still healthy! I don't need all this exercise!"
Saw a missed call from Shuing after I finished. I went to get some bread before calling him back. We had a bit of a talk, I couldn't help but feel a bit awkward, probably because of how long we haven't seen eachother. I ended up telling him about my knee even though I didn't want to. He asked if I was interested in going overseas at the end of the year and I said I had to save up for something, and when he asked what it was, that was when I told him.
One interesting thing he told me was that Eva and Michael L were getting married! He said he found out from Michelle who found out from Eva during G's birthday, but it seems that everybody knows except G, because they didn't want it to overshadow his big day. I asked "why is G always the one who is within the circle but out of the loop?".
Anyway, looks like the wedding dinner will be pretty soon, in like a month's time. We talked about whether they were just doing this because Eva's visa was going to expire. I think we both don't think she's the type of person, but we couldn't help but feel it was kinda wrong to get married where that was one of the reasons.
Good for them anyway, they seem like a good match. She's probably the only one who can put up with him.
