Why can't I meet a girl like that...
On Friday after work I met up with Jim for gym. It has become pretty apparent to me that I no longer exert myself at the gym. For a long time I settled into a routine of bike-abs-bench press-arms. None of that stuff, apart from the bike perhaps, really makes me sweat. Nor do I really push myself to the limit. I had become complacent. All I wanted to do was finish up and go eat. I even suggested KFC.
Luckily Jim had the sense to direct me to Japanese, so we went to that restaurant with the waitress I fancy. She was still there. I realised that every time we go there I am wearing the same grey Puma hoodie. She must think I'm a bum.
Afterwards we went to the Grace Hotel for dessert. It was unique, because you get a card upon entry and then swipe that card for everything you buy. When you leave, they look at how much you have accumulated on the card and then charge you that way.
Yesterday I didn't do much during the day. I went out for a jog and did a lap. I had to, given I weighed in at 71.5kg at the gym on Friday.
At night I went to pick up Fat Pat from the domestic airport as he was returning from Tasmania. We went to Marrickville for a stand up comedy show. The comedian we saw was Sam McCool. He was alright, I didn't really expect how interactive it was, and thought he delivered some cheap shots at the audience just to get some laughs.
After that we went for dinner in Newtown at Thai Pothong. Food was good as usual. For some reason I feared not having enough to talk about with him, but everything turned out ok. We talked about going to Thailand a lot, as he had been before.
I dropped him home after dinner, and wished him a safe flight back as he was flying out later tonight.
This morning, I headed out to the casino. No, not to gamble. I went because Game 7 of the Spurs-Clippers series was on. I got there a bit after 10am and it was packed already with people wanting to see the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. I stood while waiting the first half, rooting for the Spurs.
I had to leave at 11:30am to meet Thai to watch the fight, which was at half time of the NBA game. I did take a walk around the roulette tables but didn't recognise anyone apart from a couple of dealers.
I was waiting at the cinema for a while when Brain rocked up. I was a bit surprised because I didn't know he was coming. We talked for a bit and then Thai turned up and we went into Starbucks to get a drink and sit down.
While I was ordering a woman and her kid started talking to Brain. I later learned that it was Thai's friend. She was pretty talkative. It was embarrassing though when I mentioned I was thinking of going to Thailand to see the elephants (to make conversation) that she said "sure...'the elephants'" insinuating I was going there for something else.
After sitting around for a while we went off looking for pubs that was showing the fight. We thought it'd be easy but it turned out that a lot weren't showing it. I think it must've been a licensing issue.
At Maloney's we met with Thai's friends, a guy and his girlfriend. I noticed the girl was quite good looking. We continued our search in vain and eventually settled on a Thai restaurant where we used their free wifi to stream the match lol.
I noticed the girl would offer her phone for us to watch the fight on, and turn it facing us so that she ended up watching it upside down. I think I caught her glancing up at me at one stage too, and before that we had definitely held eye contact for a bit.
I noticed that she was wearing a shirt with the name of a Thai restaurant on it, so I think she must work there as a waitress.
She was quite hospitable, pouring water for us and constantly re-jigging her phone to make sure the match was being streamed smoothly.
At the end, the bill came to $121.60 or something, and since there were six people it was about $20 each. She said it was $20 each and then threw in some coins herself to make up the small difference. I would've done it but I didn't have any coins to offer.
I just thought that was really nice of her. She seemed like a giving type of person, and I wondered why I couldn't meet someone like that?
