Yesterday was a really tiresome and hectic day. I was supposed to play soccer with some of my friends in the morning at about 9.30am, but decided to watch the live match on tv till almost 4am. That left me with less than 5 hours of sleep before I have to wake up and make my way to Sembawang. I knew I will be having trouble waking up, so I set my phone alarm to go off at 8.10am, 8.20am, 8.30am and 8.40am. Haha. We were playing soccer for more than 3 hours, til 1 plus in the afternoon. The sun was really intense yesterday, it was burning down on all of us that we all are sun burnt now. I accidentally sprained my ankle when playing soccer too, though not serious.
After soccer I went to eat lunch with my friend at Chong Pang market, they were having a big pasar malam there. We made our way to my sister's school to play badminton after lunch. Even since my aussie friends came back, they have been wanting to play badminton, as we played almost every week when we were back in Gold Coast. My sis also asked a few of her friends to come along, so there were about 8 of us. Due to the semi-sprained ankle, my movements were hampered. Took awhile for the ankle to warm up, but after that I was all jumping and hopping again. We played for another 3 hours, til about 6 plus, just when my muscles were beginning to cramp up. Haha. After warming down and taking a shower, the sprained ankle started to swell and hurt again, and I was walking with a slight limp.
For dinner, my friends and me went to Brewerks along Bukit Timah Road, as I had a $20 voucher that is expiring soon. We ordered a few starters, buffalo wings and calamari rings, and 1 main each. The wings and calamari were rather dry, and the main that I ordered, crab linguini, did not taste that fantastic as well. I personally think the branch in Clarke Quay serves up more delectable dishes. We did not order any of their beers, but my favourite beer there is the Indian Pale Ale, strong, bitter, but yet refreshing. After dinner we went to Island Creamery at Serene Centre for some ice cream. They have all sorts of "funny" flavoured ice cream, I had apple pie and black forest. The apple pie flavoured ice cream tastes as if they blended a whole apple pie, and mash them up with vanilla ice cream, rather weird flavour.
Though it was a really tiring day, I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the company of many good friends. I am really grateful to have all of them around. Later today I will be on a 2 week hiatus, going back to the Coast with my family for some holidaying, followed by my graduation. It will be fun, looking forward to bringing them to places that I have been so familiar with for the past 2 years. Hip Hip! Holiday! One last thing to note, thank you good friend 1 and 2, whom have been giving me distant healing reiki for my ankle last night, it is feeling much much better now, the swelling's gone down too. Thank you, hug hugs. Have a wonderful Hari Raya Haji.
