Day 10 post surgery
Had planned a lunch with the guys today so didn't really do much in the morning except bum around on the net and play GTA 3. In hindsight, I can't even believe I did that until 1pm.
Anyway, got ready for Malay to pick me up, but he hadn't called even at 1pm (because we were to meet at 1:30pm) and I started to panick a bit. I wondered if I should just drive there myself, but part of me knew he was pretty responsible for stuff like this so I waited downstairs.
I waited till 1:30pm and again got anxious because I didn't want G to think we were being late on purpose, but I suspected Malay had a reason behind it. I swear one bus tried to hit me. I was standing probably just under a metre from the kerb. This bus approached, and as it was full, it stopped after the bus stop, which was where I was standing, in front of my drive ways. The tyre actually came onto the kerb, and if I didn't step back, it would've hit me. What a fucker.
Anyway, Malay arrived and told me he had been with his dad, so that explained it. We headed off to the shopping centre near us, and I dreaded the walk to the foodcourt, mainly because it seems like I've been here too many times in the last few days, and also because I was limping without crutches.
G met us halfway at the carpark, and then we headed to the foodcourt. Deciding what to eat had to be an efficient decision - I did not want to walk all around the foodcourt and back. In the end, I settled on Indian food and they followed. Probably a bad choice with one of the curries because it was really really hot without the nan bread, but oh well, the lady did warn me.
The three of us caught up a bit, but I didn't want to get to any 'meaty' topics until Shuing arrived. We joked for a while about this one youtube video where a female game show host slaps a guy, lol, that was pretty funny.
After eating, Shuing still hadn't arrived, so we decided to check out JB. G and Malay were looking at something and I wandered off to have a look at the movies and video games. As I stood there, I felt some pain iny my knee. It just felt like I had been standing too much, and that I needed to sit down. Everywhere I walked, I was really careful not to have anyone bump into my knee. If anyone came close, I was ready to shove them away with two hands.
We were in there for quite a while, and when we got to the Anime section, Malay kept showing me stuff he liked which I had no interest in. Apart from Street Fighter, I'm not really much of an Anime fan.
We walked back out and sat down again, much to the relief of my knee. Malay and I got some drinks from Gloria Jeans and we waited for Shuing some more. He came at like 3pm, and was a bit rude when I joked about his lateness, saying he had better things to do.
He said he saw lemon and her boyfriend together, which was a bit freaky. Anytime there's talk of her it's a bit freaky.
After the initial awkwardness of Shuing's arrival, I felt we all got into a pretty good groove with the conversation, talking about others like Ele and Michael L. Shuing investigated a bit about what happened on Friday night, and I tried to be vague, but did tell him I found Michael L annoying when playing Jenga. Shuing reckons Ele doesn't like him just because he beats her at poker. I don't think so. He then hinted that I was biased in favour of her.
Anyway, we went back to JB because Malay wanted to buy Arrested Development, and my knee felt a bit better now.
We stood outside JB discussing what to do, until I said I just wanted to go home to rest my knee, which was true. Malay had told me earlier about The Unborn, and I thought that would be a good movie to watch, so after he dropped me home I dorve to the Wick to rent it.
As I walked from the car to the video store, I felt that I could almost get into a normal walking pattern, even if it was a bit slow and creepy. But when I tried too hard or too long, it would pull my hamstring.
Luckily it didn't take me long to find the video, and I rented it and got out. I was pretty sure I didn't need the crutches anymore. I felt like I had gotten much better between when I was with the guys and now. Sometimes it feels like just one round of exercises will make my knee feel a whole lot better.
I watched The Unborn when I got home, and it was a pretty ok movie, but that chick is seriously hot.
