Did it once, and now twice

Because of one comment by D, I went on diet in 2005 November. I got rid of 4Kg. I gained them back in the course of one year.

I let go in 2007. And now, I have to take the consequence.

2008, no D by my side, I decided, it's time for me to do it again.

First time in 3 years

For 3 hours, we sat at Redmoon, chating over 2 sparkling and 2 single whisky on rocks.
First time in 3 years we had such long talk. It was light hearted and fun.

First time in 3 years, we were no longer hotelier and guest, we are friends.

One thing didn't change is, it is enjoyable looking at his handsome face.

Solo walk home from Sunday Yoga

The walk home after my Sunday yoga is truely therapeutic. My body was well sweated and stretched at the session. My mind was calm and clear. Listening to my favourite tunes, I enjoyed the little 15 minutes walk home. Daydreaming. Vistualising my favourite moments of the past week. That's a private little place I found after moving back home.

3rd round at 5 Bowen Road

Daniel frowned when I reached. Well, he did it as he knew he was getting the girls attention. He was excited about seeing me. But today, there were too many people in the room. The attention was diverted.

Sunny was a bit blue today. We were guessing it was about Henry's departure. And I was surprised by learning that Sunny is actually much older than he appears.

Pheonix lowered his head while I was sitting in front of him. He petted me when I looked away. Then I realise, my presence meant something to him.

Henry looked very sharp today. May be he is getting ready to stand on his own, leaving the big warm family.

by his side

Death seems remote but near.

I don't know how to react when I was told by a good friend about his loss. Hope a box of hand delivered pastries could offer a little support to the grief.

He told me, the box was opened at the end of the family dinner. The muffins, danishes, croissants and scones were shared among the family. And their breakfasts of the next morning were then well taken care of.

I smiled.

Some more about new friends

This time, I spent more time with Chuk Nam, Abraham and Wallace. Of course, I have not forgotten Sunny and Daniel.

Chuk Nam is emotional and wants to be served. He pays attention to our talking at the table and easily gets agitated he was th subject of discussion.

Abraham is the little one yet smart. He is not acting like a gentleman when eating his lunch. Shake head...

Laughing with head falling behind... over very simple jokes... or funny gestures... gegegegege...

12 new friends

Last Sunday, I met them at Bowen Rd, Central.

It was full of laughter through out the 4 hours encounter. I could only recalled a few names, Sunny, Daniel, Jed, Justin, Lindsey (the only gal), Tobias, Phonix... I will get to know them better next Sunday.

Sunny has small eyes like me. He is a car lover. He is quiet yet very active.

Daniel has watery eyes and beautiful eye brows. His eyes could talk. When he looked at him, my heart just melt.

Lindsey is a shy girl. She knows people are paying attention to her even when her head down, reading her book quietly at the corner.

Tobias is a smart boy. A typical attention seeker. Whoever new came in, he ran across and give the person a big warm hug.

Justin knows very well what he wants and doesn't want. Very straight forward.

Jed is another quiet character. He sat there watching most of the time. I won't forget the smile on his face when I passed by him.

Knowing these new friends gives me new prospective to life.
