Yesterday was the weekly Sports day for me and my colleagues.. initially, i had wanted to cancel it, cause there were only 2 people going.. and i had not brought along my gear because i had not planned on going.. i had my weekly team conference call with my boss and colleagues..
However, when i opened my email upon reaching the office in the morning, i saw a cancellation notice from my boss for the conference call.. so i called K and asked him if he was keen to play, and go home during lunch time to take our gear.. he agreed.. during the course of the day, i had one telling me last minute that he can't go because of a dinner appointment.. then another one telling me he can't go because he was in the Pioneer office for meeting or something.. and another one telling me he didn't even receive my invitation when i asked him if he was going.. then about an hour later, he told me he did received but didn't had time to open the mail... then there was one who told me he forgot to bring his gear, but would go home to take it later in the day.. i thought that was very nice of him.. and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is what i mean by commitment... he purposely took a taxi home to take his gear, and then took a taxi from his home to the community center where we were playing badminton to join us..
My K was commited too.. he rushed home to pick up our gear during lunch time.. and then came over to pick me up from office at 530pm before driving over to the center.. But as usual, he blur like sotong.. he brought my gym shorts and top, badminton rackets and shuttle cocks, but forgot to bring my sports shoes!! So for the first half hour, i had to play badminton bare footed.. then my colleague who had gone back home to bring his gear arrived and lend me his wife's sports shoes.. by that time, my soles of my feet were already black.. = (
After an hour of badminton, we headed to the outdoor court for basketball.. there were 6 of us in the end, which was a pretty good turnout considering i nearly wanted to cancel it.. so we played 3 on 3 for about 3-4 games before we decided to call it a night.. i did a fantastic throw from a 3-pointer position, and even i shocked myself when the ball got into the basket ! = )
After the games, K and I went over to Arab street for dinner.. we had sardine and chicken Murtabak at te famous Victory Zam Zam.. it was delicious.. the only thing that kinda spoilt it was that the stupid uncle had shook the can of root beer that i had ordered; so when i opened it., it just burst and spill all over the table.. i was pissed.. nearly wanted to ask for a refund for half the can of root beer that was wasted! sigh..
We went home after that and watched another 2 episodes of 24.. getting more and more exciting.. can't wait to watch more tonight when i get home.. = )
