- Went back for softball today.
Wow. It's been a looong time man. Very long time since I picked up a ball or bat and did something with it. And it was really fun! In a lazy sort of way. The throwing was still good, there's accuracy and range. Batting was okay lar. Not surprisingly, the bat felt heavy. Fielding? Well, let's say I didn't do much and so cannot judge. We helped train the juniors after playing ourselves abit. I was newly burnt in the sun. What the hell. My fresh-out-of-sentosa-sunburnt skin was fried anew. I didn't think it would be so hot today cos the sky was majorly grey when I left. Then later, after training, we just sat down, the two seniors with the rest of the juniors and just chat. Sigh, I miss post-softball conversations and activities. And sadly, we didn't go for lunch today cos everybody left after training.
Oh well, it was good exercise while it lasted. And at least, I know I still got some of that softball in me. Yeahhhh... Juniors (especially the no experience ones) need serious work man. There is just so much to catch up on. It's gonna be hard next year, no doubt about that. Sigh..but then again, things can always change. Like it did for our year.
Lastly, they said they were gonna have a christmas party!!! How absolutely fun! I'm sure seniors are invitied. And at the festive time of this year! The more parties the better!!On another note, I have that baking bug in me! Now! Tomorrow, I'll be making my first pilgrimage to Phoon Huat (jurong east branch) to get all the stuff needed for baking. Tins, sheets, ingredients, cookie rack. Oh yeahhh!!! Oooh I so can't wait to have an 'excuse' to bake, a.k.a. people to dump my baked goods on cos I certainly can't finish them alone. There'll be the levi's party this Sunday plus the nite trek (1 excuse to bake loads of cookies), our own home christmas celebration (1 excuse to bake chocolate cake) and if it takes off, the softball christmas party (2nd excuse to bake cookies). Also, there'll be the actual FCC christmas service which seems really interesting, being at the Arts House and all. There's alot more stuff going on then, than my old church ceremony.
It's important to enjoy this December for me cos I'll be starting work next january. And come to think of it, I'm kind of excited about it, although I initially dreaded having to work. First of all, the pay is worth it. With $7 an hour I can support myself and save around 80-85% of what I earn. With OT, it could be even more. The jobscope isn't exactly brainless photocopying etc., I'll actually be some sort of 'assitant/secretary' to the lawyer boss. Data input, drafting of bills and letters. Sounds like 'cheem' stuff right now. And I also just find out that my boss is in FCC. Haha, and all this while Mark was working for someone in church. Obivously being gay, Mark knows all the queer people in the office and I'm going to find out from him who they are! What's more, my office place is 'chucked' right next to ying's and we can go lunch together when I start work and visit each other's office etc. Oh. And I better damn hell work hard. And not screw up. Cos I made almost zero effort to land this job. It fell down onto my lap literally. No classifieds, no interviews. Just asked when do I start work and where's the place. That and, emailing my cirriculum vitae. That's it! So don't screw up elsa, cos you already skipped all the standard operating procedures on 'how to get a job'.
Then there are the season sales... Went out with ying last night to do a MANGO check-out. Tomorrow will be the actual sweep when prices are up to 50% off. Besides that, we also snacked out majorly. Oh gosh. At least I exercised today! Oh, did I mentioned we squealed over Alessandra A. again?? Damn, she has a damn fine body. I don't think I could ever get sick of her. But then again, that's what I thought the same about gisele. Hmm.

Christmas is coming!!! And I feel happy already!!
