Been wanting to go to the gym since last year, but never managed to. I don’t know, the notion somehow vaporised. I remember discussing with Eileen and JianQin about going to the gym after the O Levels and A Levels were over, but yeah, it just didn’t happen.

So after my tennis training today, I went with my classmate Felicia! I didn’t know what to expect, but it wasn’t what I had expected. But if I had not expected anything, what is there to expect? Okay, never mind.

Oh, and I’m sunburnt after spending 3 hours in the sun in tennis, because Vanessa’s sunblock stinks. Smells like plastic. I don’t like Banana Boat’s sunblocks.

Anyway, I went alone with Felicia because Vanessa had to celebrate her cousin’s birthday, and JiaYing went MIA (meaning, I forgot why she can’t go).

I lifted rather light weights, because I was aching all over. Will probably have problems laughing when I wake.

Still, it was a good workout, I guess. I don’t know, seems like my tummy has become a separate entity these few days. Been eating a lot of junk, like cookies, biscuits, instant noodles, bread, more cookies, stuff like that. Think I might just die young.

Boohoohoo, skin’s peeling.

Oh, and Vanessa just insulted me today. We were waiting for JiaYing, who had Band, and while waiting, we talked about a lot of nonsense, and she suddenly asked if I want her lingerie. At first I thought she said “laundry” and I was wondering if she wanted to give me something like a washing machine. It was the one her classmates got for her last year for her birthday. Her reason for doing so? She said it was too small for her. Thanks a lot! She’s been criticizing various parts of my anatomy for no apparent reason, and it’s not even my fault most of the time. Like how short my arms are. There’s a reason why I don’t play the trombone!

Well, I never knew she was observing me all this while. Almost makes me feel self-conscious, you know.

I embarrassed myself not too long ago. People have always told me how I looked moody when I stone, but I proved that it’s better to look unapproachable than a lunatic. Was walking home one day alone when I suddenly thought of something hilarious, and I grinned like an idiot to myself. So what happened was a Malay man stepped out of his house to water his plants or something just as I started showing my teeth, and he stared at me because I was looking straight ahead, and he probably thought I was smiling at him. He stared at me as I walked past, and I took care not to look at him. I probably disturbed him a lot, oops.

And then there was this once I took my neighbour’s kid out for McDonald’s takeaway, because I said I would, and I was rather harsh with him that day, because I was having instant noodles and he was hankering for it and refused to give me a moment’s peace until I fed him too. It was the spicy ramen one, which I don’t think is very good for 5-year-olds? So I brought him out (and now he’s pestering me to take him for Mac’s again) and I was afraid he’ll just run around and I would lose him. From the Pioneer Explorer thing not too long ago, I learnt that kids should come with remote controls. But Keith (that’s the kid’s name) was rather well-behaved (could be because I threatened to drag him home if he didn’t) but I got a lot of funny looks from passerby. Like they couldn’t decided if that’s my younger brother or my kid.

Think I’ll go sleep now. Bet I’ll just crash and die.
