Tennis & Dinner Outing

My arms are aching right now (Argh!) Met up with my university mates for tennis at Toa Payoh Safra yesterday afternoon. Skinny Bones was supposed to turn up as well, but he did not. Tried calling him a couple of times, but he did not pick up his phone (How irresponsible)

It was tough playing tennis after a long while : / I have lost all coordination and endurance (Does that mean that I have aged?) and I think the number of tennis balls I picked up was more than the number of times I returned a serve : ( It didn't help that I couldn't see properly with my mailboy cap (That was to prevent UV rays from eating into my skin. Vanity rules eh?) After 2 hours of tennis, or rather ball-picking, we were totally drained : / Went to take a quick shower before hopping onto the cab to Chinatown for dinner! : D (The best part of all outings)

We went to 天津楼 for Chinese cuisine. Dinner was initially planned to be at Kuishin-Bo - I vetoed since I don't like buffets (It's either you stuff yourself or you leave the restaurant feeling short-changed) The food at the Chinese restaurant was not bad and it was not too expensive either; at the very least, we walked out feeling satisfied : ) Strolled around Chinatown to burn the excess calories while looking out for dessert shops : P As it was the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets were bustling with activities : ) Finally, we settled for a small dessert shop - Had mango sago with pomelo whereas the rest had beancurd with mango puree (Ewww...)

We were chatting happily when Zhaoxin startled the rest of us with her question - "Joanne, have you ever considered Wai Kin?" My jaws dropped and seeing that Bud had no reaction, I went about to shoot her back "How to consider him when he has never even considered me? Anyway, he liked you in the first place" (Yes, my bad) Arghhhhhh......Actually, it has been an open secret that he has something for me since our university days, but due to several factors, we never got together. Well, I could feel it when the rest dared me to french kiss him on one Christmas gathering - It was supposed to be a 10-second dare, but ultimately, somebody had to pull us apart : P

Hmmm...Best buddies? Tick. Best project partner? Tick. Best paparazzi partner? Tick. Lovers? (.........................)
