update > friday

yesterday was a fun day...

i had a good game of tennis in the evening with my sister n Gerard... my previous few outings haven't been so successful... i have to say sometimes god is not supportive... the last few games have either been interrupted by rainfall or simply there aren't any empty courts available... i guess the weather has not been conducive for sports lately so everyone wants to go play when the conditions are decent... i finally found a range yesterday after missing the mark so many times recently... tennis is a frustrating game... i don't know why i love it so much... sometimes i wished i had my own tennis court, n it must be indoors... then i can practice everyday come rain come shine n actually stay consistent for a change...

yesterday i played quite well, it's been such a long time since i can actually hit good shots that are deep n just within the baseline and sidelines... just where i like them the most... even though the ball is still considered 'in' as long as it touches the line when it bounces, but i don't like to take the risk... keeping them within the lines will eliminate any chance for opponents to argue with me whether the shot was 'in' or 'out'... that is my philosophy..

ok, sorry if ur not into tennis... that was probably meaningless to u but i have to say it coz it's a big part of me... anyway my day didn't end there... i had lots of fun at night... yesterday was one of the nights where i went for a supper marathon with Alvin and my sister... if ur wondering what that is, let me tell u in detail...

we made a total of three stops:

Destination #1 -9.45PM
We went to EuroDeli in Damansara Kim becoz Alvin said the sausages were good... my sisters have been there before and this is apparently d place to eat MEAT... seriously they have a lot of good meat dishes to choose from...we ordered one plate of sausages with potato salad, coleslaw and some other weird German vege dish i think... we didn't fill ourselves to the top becoz...

Destination #2 -10.30PM
We flew straight to our next stop, which is 'Alexis' in Bangsar... there were lots of ppl around coz that area is like a clubbing spot... but Alexis was a place we knew that served excellent Sarawak Laksa... emmm...... which is exactly what we ordered...oh, and a walnut cake with ice cream too... we only ordered one laksa coz hehe we were quite full alredi.... after all this is supper, not dinner.. wow, i have to say their laksa is reli reli good.... i'm not bragging, go try it... the texture is just so so fine...

Destination #3 -11.30PM
finally we made our last stop at a familiar restaurant, McD!!! we walked from Alexis to McDonalds which was just nearby.... we were quite full alredi so we just settled for fries and chocolate sundaes.... emm emm...... what a nite..

--------------------------------

hehehe for those of u who think i can't eat much think again... i may look thin, ooh wait i am thin, so ppl tend to think i starve myself... but the truth is, i just don't get fat no matter how much i eat...(wow, i bet a lot of ppl r cursing me now)... haha sometimes i wonder if there's something wrong with my system... oh well, i might as well embrace this gift...

so there u have it, 2 of my favourite things in 1 day... tennis and food... I will always rank food before tennis though, becoz dining is a pleasure that really requires not much effort, anyone can enjoy food...just open your mouth and chew... but tennis is a struggle.... u have to work so hard just to see some results.... not to mention the amount of sweat and physical pain it causes me... but don't get me wrong... the sense of achievement in tennis is much greater than a satisfied stomach... =)
