I ought to really bring a watch the next time I meet my friends. No disrespect to them, nor that I didn't enjoy their company. On the contrary, I enjoy their company so much that I often overstay my visit/ lunch date. It was the case last night with Cindy. We had our very own dinner @ her place, and the dinner ended close to midnight. After a simple fare of stir fried pork, mapo tofu and potato salad, we chit-chatted over wine, and then cognac, for nearly 3 1/2 hours.
It was the case this morning over Brunch. Had brunch @ Banfis with her again, and it ended at around 2 pm! At this rate, I would run out of time sooner rather than later. But still, I loved every minute of the time spent with her. It's amazing how we could talk just about anything on planet earth, from chinese lineage, which extended to a lesson on Chinese History, to movies and Andy Lau and Wong Kar Wai. And as usual, a dash of typical college gossiping was included, and like I had mentioned about the inevitability, the bad memories of last semester came back again. But since I had promised myself I would not harp over it, I shall leave it as that. .Period.
All in all, I had a good time with Cindy, and I hope the insane workload next semester would continue to allow me to meet up with her. Cindy is an amazing friend, she really is.
In between brunch and an Econs experiment, I found time to visit my favorite haunt @ North Campus-- the gym. And as usual, after 3 sets of chin-ups, I had to pay my favorite a visit-- the rowing machine. And for the next 20 minutes, to the infectous beat of Fort Minor's Remember my Name, I rowed away, exerting every possible ounce of energy in me until I realised once again, I had only 5 minutes to drive down to Warren Hall for my experiment. I regretted I had never bothered to shape up in JC, because I was sure jopining Canoeing or rowing would have been a hell of experience. I loved the feeling as I rowed away, mouthing the lyrics and devoting every brain cell and muscle tissue to the rhythmic movements of rowing. At the end of the workout, with sweat glistening my forehead, I had never felt as refreshed as before. A routine worth following on a daily basis eh?
And then it was back to Rhodes Hall for my studying. But not before another 30 minutes trawling the net, surfing away at ebay and crunchyroll.com. And then I realised: if only I could concentrate on my studies the way I did when rowing! And I decided I would give it a go after this post. I hope it all works out, so wish me luck!
Signing off (rather abruptly, but wth, it's already 5 pm, time to get cracking!)
