Lazy weekend

Spent a lazy weekend. Yesterday's class was cancelled because instructor was sick. We reached the class and waited for 45 minutes. The instructor did not turn up. So we called up the school coordinator who came in later to inform us.

So I head to guan qian street and gone ktv with my china friend before returning home to steam my fish.



Breathless!

This is the first time I cooked my own fish. Nice... Cos I put alot of ginger to cover up the fishy smell, squeezed lemon and tomatoes, soy sauce, and rub with salt to marinate it.



While marinating-in-process, I put on my trunks and dipped into the pool at the indoor swimming complex opposite my apartment. Since this is my first visit, I had to go for the so-called physical examination in the medical room just located at the entrance.

When I entered the medical room, I was asked to just sit down and look at the camera. That doctor just took my face pic and issued me a record card certifying that I am free from health and skin diseases.

For once I didn't know China is so high-tech. Just by taking a face pic alone will know whether I am free from health defects. 3 yuan for taking that face pic. Another 35 yuan to enter the pool which I thought was heated water, to realise only the shower is heated.

Nevertheless, I swam a few laps in order to make my money worth. But the longer I swam, the colder I became. I did not understand why.

This morning I had brunch with wl, hl, roy and 2 other friends from shanghai at Saizeria restaurant, at a nearby shopping centre. Ate bacon and pineapple pizza for only 20 rmb. But my tiramisu ice cream from Iceason costs a whopping 30 rmb. Had coconut sago dessert for 20 rmb.

Spent another 59 rmb on a sports pants before returning home.


Should have stayed home instead.
