To city, to Bondy, to city
Saturday morning I went to the gym. I was about half an hour late, but it didn't matter because when I got there, it wasn't even opened anyway. I guess someone slept in again. There was a long line of people just like the last time. I didn't have to wait for long before they opened and people started marching in.
I was a bit worried that the stretching area would get full, but then I was like the second person upstairs...I guess everyone was there for the spin class.
After that I drove back home to pick up my dad so he could buy stuff for the restaurant. We went to Chinatown and I parked where I wasn't supposed to park, so it was a pretty nerve racking 20 minutes. I then drove him to work and then I went to the office to do some work. I nearly got through the file, but my parking was going to expire so I figured I'd go. I did the hard parts anyway, now I just needed some time to digest and think about it.
So I left at about 2pm, I had planned to drive to the Bondy gym but then figured I'd save a hell of a lot of petrol if I just drove to the gay gym, so I did. I did my exercises there, then bought some Hungry Jacks to take home to eat while I watched Solitary Man.
It was a good movie, but the flow of it was probably ruined due to me splitting it into two sessions. I thought it tried to contrast the different lifestyles between Douglas and DeVito - the risky and exciting life versus the stable but boring life. I thought about all the really confident people I had come across in my life and felt somewhat reassured to know that things were as good as they made it out to be. In contrast, although he led a boring life, DeVito was safe because he never took risks (well, the type that Douglas took anyway).
I just thought that I had started out my life with DeVito's values, but when I fell into gambling, I started living the Douglas life. Now that I'm trying to put gambling behind me, I feel like I'm trying to learn DeVito's values all over again.
Speaking of gambling, I haven't been since surgery, so that would make it about six weeks now. The bug is starting to crawl within my brain, I must admit. Just a few days ago, I told myself to come up with a strategy that with enough of a bank roll, I could ensure I'd walk away with $25 every week.
Anyway, after the movie I went back to the Wick for gym. I wanted to avoid the Bra because I thought that girl might be there, and seeing her two days in a row wouldn't be good. So I went to the Wick.
After that I went to see Hana. I guess in the back of my mind I had decided already. I booked for 7pm, and funnily enough, even though I didn't leave my number, they had it and called me several times as it approached 7pm. I had a bit of trouble finding a parking space so I got there right on time.
She seemed surprised (again) to see me as she appeared at the door. It was a pleasant surprise though, but the greeting just wasn't Naby. Sometimes it feels like as if I'm trying to find a Naby replacement.
We chatted a bit but for the most part of the massage we didn't talk. She's kinda funny, cause when I turned around, she reminded herself that my bad leg had now switched over, which my physio said was a common mistake physios make, lol.
Maybe it's the truth, but everytime I ask her what she's been doing, she just says work and sleep.
After the massage, she gave me a facial as usual. She asked and I said "if you want". She then asked if I wanted her to clean my ears, and I said "if you want". She laughed and repeated it, but mental note: don't be so fucking passive next time.
This seemed like an additional service - I had never been offered a cleaning of the ears. I wondered if it was a sign that she liked me. She actually spent quite a bit of time and effort doing it. She was pretty careful about it, and it felt pretty good. Kinda like when my mom used to do it when I was young.
After that, I pointed to the spa and said that looked like fun. I said I would book for 90 minutes next time so we can use it. She said it was better if it was two hours. I said "three hours?" and she seemed like she didn't know how to answer, and said "if you want", lol. As I was finishing tying my shoelaces, I said next time I see her my knees would be better, because earlier I had shown her my knees and asked if she could see any difference, and she said my right one was bigger.
She asked when next time would be, and I said next week, and she said she would wait. Hmmm.
Today, I got to the gym at about 10am. I stayed there till about 11:45am, doing some weights as well before going to pick up Malay. We went to the shopping centre near us for lunch. He had KFC, and I had fish and chips. We talked about the dynamics in our group mainly. He had posted quite an irritated message on my fb about having cheapskate friends, and then deleted it later. He said hew as just pissed off about G not forking out money when around us, but is willing to fork out for his girlfriend.
We also talked about Michelle a bit, about how she had now moved to Brain. She's like a virus, we can't get rid of her. She leeches from one person to the next. We discussed about whether we should warn Brain or not, and I said not to, because he wouldn't believe us and would probably hate us for it.
We also thought Shuing was acting a bit strange. Even though he's not working, I don't think he has reason to be sleeping odd hours. What the hell is the guy doing?? I had messaged him twice asking him to lunch today and he didn't reply until after Malay and I had finished eating.
Anyway, Malay and I went to check out some shops. I bought some oranges and he bought a black polo shirt, then we went to JB. We took advantage of the buy two get one free sale, and I bought Quantum of Solace, Batman Begins and Dark Knight. He bought three movies as well, and kept apologising because he knew he was taking long and I had to go the gym. I didn't mind, cause I figured worst case scenario was I'd do two sessions in one.
I drove him home, then went to the gym in Bondy. Maybe it's just me, but I seem to be getting through the exercises fairly quickly now.
I went home to take a dump, and then went to the gym in the Bra. Honestly, I was exhausted. But I went anyway. I put on my glasses because I was expecting that girl to be there, and I wanted to appear confident when I approached.
Unfortunately, she was not there :(
I did my stuff, and some weights too. No matter how many of these exercises I do, the first few reps of pushing my knee down shows that it returns to the 'bent' default position fairly quickly. I would've thought that having it worked out at Bondy would mean a straighter leg by the time I got to the Bra, but nope.
After I changed, I saw Michael Shram, and we greeted eachother before I left. He mentioned my fb status updates which was a bit embarassing, but oh well.
Maybe the FF girl was at the Wick tonight, thinking that's my usual gym?
