Year of the Yao
Last night Shuing wanted to meet up for dinner, but I had already eaten, but said I'd come for a drink. So he picked Malay and I up and we went to Tea Inn. We talked mainly about G's break up. Somehow he had become the resident psychologist in our group. Even though I told him what G had told me, I felt there were lots he didn't tell me which he knew about. Actually, come to think of it, it's almost as if he cross-examines me as to stuff that happens and yet he avoids answering any inquiries into himself.
Apparently G is depressed. He took three days off work last week and spent the nights writing up what he was going to say to his now ex-girlfriend. I didn't even think he liked her that much, maybe getting dumped hurt more.
I also told them I had noticed more warts growing on my right hand. Shuing said it was probably from the weights I used at the gym, but if that was so, then it should affect both hands. My theory, and I hope I'm wrong, is that it may have come from punting.
After Shuing finished, G came and met up with us outside the restaurant. He had been with Bob at that karaoke thing and went to dinner with him. To be honest, I thought Shuing would end up going to dinner with them, and even more, I thought G would stay there.
We talked about where we were going to go before Tayyer called Malay and said he and Gurang were nearby, so we waited for them to come around. We saw Gurang's car drive past and turn into a side street, and then re-appear again on the other side of the road. Strangely, they didn't get out as we waited. Shuing said he was going to call it a night (probably because he doesn't like Gurang and/or Tayyer) and Malay said he'd go over to say hi. When he reached the pedestrian island halfway across the road, Gurang drove off.
They probably thought it was funny, and then each sent me a message blaming the other, while Shuing drove us home. They called Malay to try to get him out again but thankfully he had the sense of turning them down. That was just so year 12-ish and not funny.
Today
I got to Malay's place at 6:30am ready for our morning workout, but only drove away at about 6:45am, as Thai came a bit late and Malay was waiting around the corner. Brain didn't come because he needed to drive his mother to a temple. I was kinda glad because I needed to meet A at 9am for swimming and knew Brain would slow us down.
We went to a small park near Bondy beach to use the workout equipment there. It was a bit weird to kinda share it with the people already there, even though I should be used to it given I go to the gym lots. I guess it was just a new environment.
We did chin ups, push ups, and some of the other exercises shown on the board there. It was a good start to a workout, but it didn't feel complete.
Thai wanted to go for a run at the beach so we drove down there and ran three quarters around. It was only today that I realised I'd had a pretty hectic weekend in terms of working out, since I went to the gym and played ball yesterday, and here I was running in the sand and going swimming later.
Thai and I ran together around the beach while Malay dragged behind. He seems to run in small bursts of energy rather than spreading it out and going the distance.
After that Malay bought a boost juice and Thai bought some breakfast from Macca's for his wife and I drove them back home. I then went to the pool and met A.
We caught up a bit, seemingly like we didn't miss a beat. We got changed and did our laps. He did I think nine or ten, and I did 12. It felt so good, and despite not having swam since NYE, it didn't seem any harder than the last time.
We talked about the NBA, shares and a bit about his work.
After that, I drove out to the city to get some hot and spicy KFC. It was about 10-ish by now and I hadn't eaten breakfast. I also had a strong craving for KFC since yesterday, so thought this would be a good time for it.
I bought it and went back home to eat it. Eating KFC + watching Simpsons = win!
I watched a few episodes before taking a nap. I was pretty exhausted by the early wake up this morning. I went to bed thinking about Naby. At this moment, I am pretty sure I'll give her a miss next week, mainly to save money. The only thing that makes me want to go is to keep the 'momentum' going for a while in the beginning. I wonder if I'll disappoint her by not going. Maybe she thought she could return and everything would be the same? Would she be disappointed if it weren't?
After I woke up, I went to the Wick, and bumped into Nigga Ho. We talked a bit before I went to the video store to check out what bargains I could get in their closing down sale. I ended up buying Terminator Salvation for $5 and Year of the Yao for $1, hehe.
I then went to the gym and had a light session just working on my flexion. I went home and watched Year of the Yao. Don't know why, but bits of it made me want to cry. It also kinda made me want to formally announce my comeback to basketball, but I'm still questioning whether I'm ready for it.
