Kainan: 8-1
On Thursday I saw her during my walk. This was around the under the trees area, closer to the end of the path. She looked at me and when I looked back, she looked down.
I saw her again on Friday, but as I left home late, I saw her at the corner where I turn off the main road. I smiled a bit, but I think she sun may have been in her eyes. She did look up in my direction, but then looked down.
Friday was a little bit of a stressful day. Just a little bit. I had to get those documents sworn before a mag, and when the cop Greg arrived at 12:30pm, I was still printing off some documents I needed to amend. So as he and Mary talked outside my office, I ran in and out to get print outs from the photocopier.
Finally we made our way there. I asked the difficult looking old lady for the appointment, and she directed us to the registrar at first, where we figured out that she couldn't do it, then sent us back to the difficult looking old lady, where she said it was a different Mag because the one we made an appointment with had gone home.
The new Mag was one I knew because I had been before him once or twice, and he was a grumpy bastard. So on top of the new experience of getting something sworn before a Mag, I now had the added nervousness of getting a grumpy Mag.
Greg and I sat in the 'waiting area' for a bit before we were called in. It was pretty amazing to walk through the corridors. I don't think I'll ever get to do this again. I saw Mag Gilmour say "this place smells like a hospital" lol. We were shown to the Mag's room and I half expected him to yell at us, but he seemed quite polite in inviting us in.
As he read through the documents, Greg and I sat at his desk in silence. Whenever he asked us to swear and sign, it felt like Greg and I were getting married and signing the official documents, haha.
There was a point where a cofficer came and interrupted us to get the Mag to correct something. He was like "let me read it, oh yeah, I remember this, I had to go to the toilet when I did this" - LOL!
The whole process took about 45 minutes. I wondered if he was upset about missing his lunch. I still could not believe I was behind the walls of the courtroom, I just never thought I'd be able to see all this! I swear, this job really has gotten me places. Now I've been in a Judge's and a Mag's chambers.
I was so relieved when we finished, but I knew things were too easy. The difficult looking old lady, before letting us go, said she had to stamp the documents, so Greg and I sat down and waited. She then asked me where the extradition warrant was.
The wha?
I said we didn't need one. She said we did. Apparently the Mag called and asked for it. I said we'd go back to our office to check, so Greg and I went to see Mary, where we called up Head Office and they said we didn't need one. We returned to the difficult looking old lady and told her. She took our word for it and returned the documents to us.
Yes!
I went back to the office, relieved. That's it, I was gonna tank it for the rest of the day. This was too much weight off my shoulders. I had my late lunch and then ended up meeting up with Ele after work.
We were going to meet anyway, but Colin sent an email asking if we wanted to go out for dinner. Ele said she was cooking at home and invited us. So I met her at Woolies and we did some shopping together. I think people thought we were a couple doing grocery shopping. I swear I get so many looks from women when I'm with a girl - social proofing at its finest.
After that we caught the train to her place. She said she wanted us to be alone so she could tell me her idea. I could tell she was eager to tell me, yet she didn't want to blurt it out in this semi-packed train. She typed something on her mobile and showed me - it was like "staff discounts" or something. She asked if I knew what she was talking about and I said no.
When we walked out of the station, I asked her. She told me about her idea - basically a website connecting shoppers with people who have access to staff discounts. I liked the basic gist of it but was having trouble figuring the logistics of it in my head. I asked her questions and she seemed like she had given it some thought, but some parts still needed figuring out, like how to reward the people with the staff discounts.
When we got to her place, I could smell some nice cooking. It was Yang. Apparently he had left his job at DJ's and Ele said he was working for some relative's company and that she'd tell me about it next time.
I didn't really know what to do as they cooked. Luckily Yang turned the PS3 on so I played soccer until Colin arrived. A bit later Vivian and Daniel arrived and then we started eating. Maybe it's just me, but I never really like home cooking of someone else, so I didn't eat much. Besides, I could still feel my late lunch.
After dinner, Colin, Daniel and I started playing blackjack while watching Transformers 2. Ele and Vivian were painting their nails. Yang had gone to play soccer. Evonne came home later, and apparently she has a boyfriend now (who according to Ele started working at 13 and is now 25 and is about to buy a property, I wonder how much of those were lies just to get the girl). Colin spotted Evonne crying at one stage, Ele said it was because her boyfriend's grandparent had died...a bit distant, no?
Anyway, during blackjack Colin said he could smell my socks. I knew it. I thought about buying a pair after work, because I was wearing my long sports socks, but I smelled them before and couldn't smell anything, so didn't. Stupid Colin.
We played until like 11:30pm, then left. Yang drove Colin and I to the train station. My train was already there so I said bye to Colin and left.
Saturday
Plan was to shoot around on the courts then get to the office. I shot around a bit (bit chilly in the morning btw), just doing a bit of running, trying to get my legs prepared for the game the next day, but when I returned home I ended up bumming around and then napping.
I got to the office at like 3pm, and continued summarising the transcripts for Chris. I worked until 7pm then went to JB Hi-fi to try to look for Wolf Creek, because we had been talking about it the night before. The shop was closed, so I just walked home. It was dark by the time I got to the area under the trees, so was kinda scary.
Today
I went to the courts to shoot around. I mainly wanted to film myself running to see how fast I could run. When I got home to watch it quickly, I realised that I actually still run pretty fast, although I don't jump as high on my lay ups as I would like. Oh, and my cross over looks ok, but need to get more comfortable with it so I can extend the range of the fake.
I went home to have a shower, then went out to Central to meet Nick. We caught the train out together. I was a little afraid we'd have nothing to talk about without Bo, but it was cool, we talked about his trip to the US, his work, my work and our last bball game.
We played the old Veterans today. It was me, Nick, Mike, Carter, Alex and MJ. The game before ours started late, so we sat around and watched. I filmed a bit in case we play that team in the playoffs.
When we started our game, the cheating was immediate - the guy tipped the ball during the jump ball as the ball was on the way up and there was no call. Far out.
Anyway, we took the lead after a slightly slow start and never really looked back. The only complication was in the second half, when the fat black ref suddenly stopped the game and started pointing at MJ/Alex/Nick. I thought "oh my god, what has Nick done now?" but apparently he was pointing at Alex and telling him to get off the court for five minutes for talking.
WTF to that.
And then shortly after, he stopped the game again and called out MJ for talking.
WTF x 2.
I called a time out and told everyone he's gonna find any remote reason to make a call against us, so let's not give it to him. Then we just continued smashing them.
I scored four points. One was a fast break where Mike hit the ball ahead and I did a one handed lay up. The other was also a fastbreak where Carter passed it to me and I made the bucket.
I had another fastbreak, where I caught the pass up ahead and was about to pass it to Mike but there was a defender between us so I went for the lau up which went in and out. Luckily Mike finished it off. After the game, Mike said he saw that I was about to give him a fancy pass, like an And1 pass, he said I had that look on my eye, lol. I did.
We won 67-29 and sat around for a while before deciding to go eat. Jim showed up from the wedding he went to - I like that dedication.
Alex, Mike, Nick, Jim and I went to eat at Berala. The restaurant was pretty packed and the service was crap. We had to wait a bit for our food, and Jim had to ask them a second time when it took unusually long for his to come. He's funny, he insisted we didn't give them a tip, lol.
After that Mike dropped Nick and I off at the train station and we went back to the city. He said he was going to look for a new job, and I went into the office to continue summarising the transcripts. I saw Melissa in there, she said she'd been there since 11am - it was now close to 3pm.
She left at 5pm and I worked until 6pm and then caught the bus home.
Maybe it's just due to the winning, but I'm really loving my Sunday team right now :)
