Raining Day
Every friday play Mahjong is too taxing for me, cuz the next day i got to wake up 11am or 12am to swim. Its either HongWei's sms woke me up, or his call woke me up Never once my alarm wakes me up. Maybe im just immune to the alarm ringing tone if not im sensitive to sms ring tone, but that definitely aint correct cuz if sms ring tone does wake me up, i will be awake by like 8 or 9am every morning. So in conclusion, i sleep like a pig. Nothing wrong being a pig right? Cute, adorable, nice to hug, nice to play with, when the 利用价值is no more, slaughter n be killed. Of course i dont wanna get killed nor do i wanna get eaten.
okie okie, lets see. Had a usual discussion n debate over the weather with Hongwei via sms. It's like star send,
HongWei: ur there got rain?
star send: no
HongWei: my here weather not good
star send: then how? (star send to hougang to tampines)
HongWei: dunno leh
star send: hougang not raining, tampines raining. Lets go
HongWei: weather forecast says shower with thunder
star send: orh ( star send gonna kick weather forecast arse to show whos in charge)
So left home, went to Hougang swimming complex. Weather looks fine, no shower, no dark clouds, concluded perfect day to swim, hell to weather forecast.
star send: no rain, weather very good.风和日丽凉风习习鸟语花香阳光扑照
HongWei: Kao, go le never tell me
star send: i tot shower with thunder u dun wanna go liao
HongWei: nvm, i will be abit late
Swim for an hour plus, HongWei came, the weather isnt look very good by then. We swam for another half an hour or so then it started raining. Lifeguard blow the whistle, n everyone got out of the pool, of course theres a few cockster who are immune to lightning continue to swim despite the warning from the lifeguard. Those people just wanna be the next flash, kanna struck by lightning, n can move in lightning speed. Or perhaps like some thunder god who can throw thunder spears, sounds cool huh!
Was very cold, the wind was very strong n when ever it blows, my goosebumps will start popping out. HongWei n I are like filming those Bollywood movies, running around the vending machines avoiding direct contact with the wind. After awhile, im not longer wet, so i went to put on my shirt. Thank goodness, its like a saviour, it feels as if someone hands me a sweater when Im in a snowfield freezing.
When the rain becomes smaller, i decided to go check out the time, then told HongWei that the rain is getting smaller maybe we can continue swimming. Then at that point of time, there's this person walked pass us n overheard our conversation, then he said, " ya, the lifeguard say can swim liao" then he jumped into the pool. HongWei n I were looking at each other, giving each other the "ur friend" look follow by the " nope, not my friend" look n ended with the " hes friendly" kind of look. So we followed behind him n jumped into the pool. Swam for another few hours then we went Hougang to eat 5star western. LOL!
After our late lunch, we Hougang mall to check out on swimming equips see how much it cost n everything, sadly Sportslink doesnt sell nose clip, they insist its out of stock but i believe they never sell, cuz the shelf doesnt look like those out of stock kind, looks more like never sell kinda thing. So we left Hougang mall, then i went to Hougang interchange to check out whether is there any bus service to Yishun, SADLY, nope. So i had to walk all the way to MRT station to take a train down to Sengkang n change a bus at there. Which is inconvenient, costly n waste of my time, but ended up i went to Royal sporting House@Sengkang to check out their noseclip, which they do sell. So i bought the nicer looking one, which cost slightly more expensive n made the payment. The price was 8.90, but when they scan the item, its only 6.90bucks n inner me im like "wah 赚到" so i paid 6.90 by nets n left the place.
Went Yishun for ZhiKai's mother's wake, felt quite awkward, cuz its my first time going to places like that. Initially i had a wrong concept of wake, my concept of wake was, the person who's immediate family passed away, she/he will sms everyone n tell them "hey, my whoever passed away, the wake will be from this day to this day, so yap, drop by if possible u see" kinda thing. Then after much lecture from you n Baoli, i realised its more of like, "hey, my whoever passed away" then it will be up to my own initiative to ask when will be the wake, then whoever is informed will form a group, n go down to the wake. So not knowing anything, i went down alone to attend the wake. Stayed from 5pm till 8pm, most of the time with ZhiKai, but there's alot of awkward silence, n i didnt know what to do, cuz i said everything i felt appropriate n after that most of the time ZhiKai seems to be in his own world.
But, most of the time im listening to his dad's conversation with their neighbours. He told them, what exactly happened, when did it happened at where. n what happened after the thing n about the bastard reporters who are really bastards. For goodness sake, people's family member just passed away, n the very same day they alr trying to get first hand news on what exactly happened, as in please, do consider bout other peoples feeling before doing things lidat. But yap, afterall its a money driven career, come on Jay Zhou's 四面楚歌, kick their ass show them whos the boss.
After awhile, ZhiKai went for the prayer session, which is 7pm-10pm, so i was strayed for like 1hour with a girl sitting beside me. Both of us were very quiet, constantly checking out our handphone to look as if we are very busy, but after awhile Zhikai's cousin came over n chat with us but i think his main motive is to talk to the girl la. But i think they sorta know each other also, cuz he keep telling her he kinda know her sister n things lidat. But nahz, dont really care also, wait till the interval when ZhiKai came back then i bid goodbye to him.
After that went Orchard to find you cuz i wanted to send you home. Saw XianYong, i think he got abit more buff up, which is good i guess. Told them bout the wake n the awkward silence plus the action n animation displayed by ZhiKai's dad. So afraid that i interrupted their meeting, like u know, maybe planned to meet until quite late but my appearance shorten their conversation n stuff lidat. Send you home, thinking that im gonna be late so i didnt send you to your house, but ended up Mahjong was postpone by half an hour.
Kun&Clara picked me up from Khatib, then i told them bout the wake too n how inexperience i was. During the conversation, i felt even more inexperience. Its like, i didnt tie the red knot onto my finger, i didnt give bai jing, i wave goodbye n stuff lidat. All these scare me, cuz certain things is better to believe than not to believe. Reached CheePeng's house n started to play Mahjong, the seat i sat on was very distracting, cuz its like right infront of the TV la. Cant really concentrate so keep feeding n give Kun the winning tiles. But my seat was very good, the flowers n animals just keep coming in, even when we changed seats whoever sat there had unlimited number of animals n flowers too.
I though we were playing the usual standard 2rounds, so the 北风北 i didnt really guard CheePeng's gf who came around 1am lidat. Ended up she won the 4台 for last round, but the round before that i won a 大三元 which was like 5台. After the last round, Kun told me to stay for 1 more round n stuff lidat, although abit reluctant cuz i need to give tuition n swim the next day but ended up i stayed cuz Kun&Clara lost more than 20bucks adding together. After the third round i won 2bucks, but was much of a relieved, cuz i was feeling quite shagged.
Kun send me home, i was sleeping all the way. When i woke up i'm alr at my house downstairs, thank them then faster rushed home to bath brush teeth n ZzZz!!
Major overslept, woke up at 4pm, whole sunday wasted. Partly cuz of the weather, u all should know, raining days are the best time to sleep. Great weather, cold n nice, no one to wake u up cuz everyone is sleeping. You were awake when i was sleeping, but when i woke up you went to take a nap.
Left my house around 6pm for dinner at your place. Your father opened the door for me, n hes like "isnt you with me?"
Your mother called your father and asked him to cook rice, then ended up she bought rice n asked your father dont need to cook anymore rice, but your father alr cooked. Then ended up we got MOUNTAIN n MOUNTAIN of rice, n i find it damn wasteful so i finished all the rice. That amount of rice i think in 1 week, i also never eat so much. It was really alot alot, but i didnt take photo of it. The meat n vegetable werent alot, but the chaw siew n sio ba was damn nice.
I think they bought it from ABC market at RedCliff, although i always Oscar Echo(official Ease) there, i had no recap of the chaw siew n sio ba there. All i can remember is i always order the cheap cheap NasiPandang there, cuz the lady working there, the husband is working under S.O.C (Special operation Command) So she always give us discount, like 4dishes only 2bucks. As u guys know, malay NasiPandang, standard 1meat 2vegetable also around 3bucks.
After the meal, had the usual fruit session n cheering session for Singapore(China) vs China fighting for the Gold Medal in the Table Tennis event. I dont know whether should i feel proud for Singapore cuz we got a Silver Medal. Afterall the representative are from China, worst comes to worst, they are the outcast or the 2nd or 3rd class players from there. Same goes for our Badminton players, mostly from Indonesia and Malaysia. Maybe they only thing we should be happy about will be government giving us holidays cuz its a day for us to rejoice n to celebrate.
After watching the Table Tennis, watched other events like badminton. The Badminton was superb, especially the Korean kid who was only 19yrs old. He could take every shot from any angle, n he was really very good, the worst thing was he's so young la!
When i was 19yrs old, the only thing im good at is Basketball n thats all.
Sad, go home reflect, why i'm not in the Olympic!!!
