Desperate for a swim
Haven’t been blogging for a while, have I? Well, its b’cos I didn’t have any blog worthy materials. Well, now I do. That’s why i’am blogging. Hah. Chicken and egg story ah…
Anyway, this story is about a couple of people who are so desperate for a swim that they were willing to go to great length and still didn’t get to swim in the end. And guess what, I’am one of the characters. Kinda farnie, but we did have a good time in the end! It was great. Now, let me try to recreate the comic moment, though I doubt others would understand.
The story began when Jayne jio for a swim/gym 2 days ago. Well, the thing is that the time to meet up and the activity to be conducted ultimately cannot quite be decided at the time of the fixture as krys knocking off timing wasn’t quite confirm as yet. Well, to put the following in words is a bit tough, so, perhaps let’s just do chronological point form
1400hrs: Jio for swim at Hougang
1600hrs: Fixed timing to meet up at Bishan at 1945hrs
1930hrs: Postponed to meet at 2030hrs instead.
2000hrs: informed that within 15mins, krys would arrive
2010hrs: confirmed that they are coming
2015hrs: picked up from Ang Mo Kio
2022hrs: picked up Reagen from his house along the way to Hougang
2035hrs: Reached Jayne’s house, picked up swimming stuffs
2045hrs: Depart for swimming pool
2050hrs: Reached swimming pool. Informed that swimming pool would be closed in 10 mins time at 2100hrs.
2051hrs: Started calling friends who start in Condo. Andrew was first on the list. Reagen couldn’t get Andrew, got in contact with Andrew’s gf instead, hmm..Andrew not with her either.
2055hrs: Krys state to go ahead with the plan, since we have got all the necessary info to "pian" our way into the condo. Guess what, the condo is in bukit Panjang. We were at hougang then
2056hrs: Jayne started calling her Aunt, but found out that she was in US. Can’t use that condo either.
2100hrs: Andrew called back as we were about to drive off. After much toking, he finally informed that swimming pool will be close at 2200hrs. SIAO!
2101hrs: Decided to abandon plan and go eat.
luckily I decided to go to gym before that.
Well, dinner at Pasir ris park area was good. It was kinda windy at the start, but after the sambal sotong, pineapple rice, tom yam soup, toufu, sambal kangkong, sweet sour fish and the damned expensive $1.50 per styrofoam cup of coffee and tea (amazing, the food which fed 6, only cost about $55), we were all feeling rather warm, cosy and corny. It has indeed been a fun night!
okay, you probably feel by now, what’s so great about it. but, you were not there, and somehow the finer points just can’t be brought out in words. So…well…so be it lar
