» It’s funny how one’s luck changes within a short period of time. I had a really shitty day today. I missed my Muay Thai classes again this morning. I couldn’t wake up in time for it (even though the class is on 1pm). Secondly, for the umpteenth time, I injure myself while playing basketball. Someone smashed his shoulder on to my lip which subsequently bleed. And someone scratched my hand till it bleeds with his fingernails. I’m used with injuries nowadays and therefore it didn’t really spoil my day. Unfortunately, the calamities didn’t end that way. I lost my beanie, which is also a gift from my dad. I have no idea where I left it and checked every part in the house that I went to and even to the extent of walking back to the basketball court alone to search for it. The basketball court, located in a school, was pitch dark and deserted. I staggered unwillingly around the spooky area. Ironically, couple of months ago, I had a nightmare of that place. I dreamt that I was alone in the basketball court in the middle of the night and suddenly 2 balls kept on bouncing by its own. I was pretty disturbed by the nightmare for few days. The nightmare kept on playing on my head throughout the search. Despite the effort I put into my search for the beanie. It was never found. I’m deeply saddened with the lost of my beloved beanie!! sob!! » What a relaxing day. I woke up late in the afternoon, had brunch and then played basketball till sunsets (by the way, the sun sets at 5pm nowadays). We were playing with a bunch of Brits who weren’t really good. But it was worth a game. After the Brits left, we invited another bunch of Caucasians playing on the other basketball court. One of the guys suggested that we divide our team according to our race, and therefore it will be Asians v Europeans. I agreed with it but not with a racist intention. However, coincidently, Chuo Ming and I were wearing white t-shirts and Charles and Frederick were wearing black. The bunch of Caucasians was wearing the identical colours as us, two black t-shirts and 2 white t-shirts. We ended up dividing according to colour. Chuo Ming and I paired with Julius and Richard (the Caucasians). Unfortunately, Richard doesn’t really know how to play basketball. He was basically throwing the ball in all sorts of way. Despite that, we’re just playing for fun hence we don’t really care how the game is played. Nowadays, we made a habit of introducing ourselves to the other teams before we started playing. It seems that a basketball court is one of the best ways to make friends. Mindy made bread pudding today. She got the recipe from ‘The Naked Chef’s” cookbook. It’s pretty good especially the custard she made. She bought those mini Baileys liquor and mixed 2 small bottles into the custard. Yummy.
