We were planning to learn swimming like months ago, Chean even did some digging around online advertisements and called a few to ask about it. Among all of them, he seemed quite interested in one instructor known as Mr. Lim, due to his quite detailed explanations over the phone and his enthusiasm to teach. He even asked Chean to go over his house and take some brochures and testimonials.
Well, we did, last night.
After picking up Yanny, we, Chean, CK and me went straight to Mr. Lim's house, it is located around Yanny's place, sort of, don't ask me where it is, coz I'm definitely a road blind. With Mr. Lim's instructions over the phone, we managed to find his house and we finally met him.
First impression, OMFG! We knew he is an aged elder, and thought he's around 40 or a bit more, but not at that age! In front of us, was a definitely over 50s elder, looked almost reaching his 60s, you gotta be kidding! Frankly, I was stunned, and lost myself in stiff smile, and for sure, I was indeed sceptical.
Without much choice, we went into his house. His TV was on, and he handed over a pile of papers put inside a plastic holder, with a name card pinned at the upper corner. Then he started to talk, introducing himself, and other stuffs along. We didn't even have the chance to check out the documents, testimonials he gave us. "Wei, stop reading first, this is important, pay attention a bit ah". This was what he shot at Yanny when he caught him reading the documents, hahaha, damn funny! He talked alot, about his past students, his experience, yadda, yadda, he had begun to convincing us. Sometimes I just turned to the TV shows and pulled myself away from his talks, coz his words almost repeating over and over again.
Then all of the sudden, he stood up, placing his hands on the button of his shirt, I was like WTF?! Then he took off his clothes, stunned again, I was. Not because of his muscles of course, coz he has none, but this sudden moves are really out of our comprehension! "Look at me, my body is so flexible and soft" He was doing some silat-like moves to demonstrate his "flexible" body!! Oh god, just kill me already! I was trying so hard to hold my laugh! So did others! Hahahahahahaha!
But honestly, at his age of 65, he still has a young-looking body, although not fit like a body builder, with dark color skin tone, proves that he is a regular swimmer.
Believe it or not, he started asking us to test on his body. First, we were asked to poke his fore arm, before and after style! Before, when his muscle was relaxed, after, when he pumped up his muscle. Poor CK was sitting next to him, and he became Mr. Lim's body strength tester! CK was asked to punch at him, hold his fist to feel Mr. Lim's strength force, pushed here and there by him, oh man, we almost laugh the hell out of it!! Hahaha! Then Mr. Lim came up with yet another weird move and stunned all of us again. He searched through his drawer, guess what, he took out a chain and told us that's the item he uses for training! Oh brother! Then he began to whack his body with the big pile of chain! This had really made my day!
Despite of Mr. Lim's weird acts. His words and experience seemed convincing. And his "Mother of all exercise" method is somewhat interesting (hopefully not required us to dance in his silat-like moves, oh man...) We probably would give it a go and try it out, Yanny and others wouldn't be any problem coz they already know some basics of swimming, but for me, I'm a total n00b, and they are looking forward to see me learn to swim across a 8 feet deep pool on the first day of the lessons, as advertised by Mr. Lim... Dang!

Lunch - The aftermath
Guess what, we went to eat bakuteh today!
It's probably due to the incident yesterday, was I acting childish? Until they feel like need to somehow fulfill my wish? I did complain to 2 of my collegues though... Baahhh, I knew I have bad attitude and temper, spoiled kid...
Anyway, great lunch guys! Thanks!

Lunch
Just came back from lunch, and my stomach is not only filled with food, but also fire!
Before we went out office, some of us was discussing what and where to eat, and I suggested bakuteh, don't know why but just suddenly thought of this, probably the tasty soup and meat. Do understand that the restaurant is not near our office, it's one of the collegue's parents store, and we will need to drive there. For this kind of lunch planning, we will need at least 1 1/2 hours, which way over our 1 hour lunch time. Some of them seemed interested, and we decided to go earlier for lunch since the boss just left for lunch too.
I was preparing to drive and slowly walked to my car which is quite far down a slope from our office. But 1 car is not enough for around 10 persons right? Soon after I walked a while, notice there's no second driver coming, I walked back to check who's gonna drive, other than me. Then suddenly this fuss going around, talking about the bosses are here, not too good to spend such long hour lunch time, yadda yadda... Hhmm... a sudden change huh, so I asked aren't we already
decided to go there? Well, as usual, silence. Great, no need to ask second time, nobody dare to say anything coz probably most of them afraid to bear the blame if we were to blame for long lunch hour. I dunno.
OK, fine, then lets decide where to eat now. And again, silence. Sorry to say that, I'm not a very good temper human being, and this really hit my button! Fuck! I had enough of this, everytime we are to stand there and decide where to eat, and I will be repeatedly asking again and again, I feel like a moron. What ya all afraid to suggest? Aren't we adult enough to speak out for open discussion?
So from now on, I have decided to just go for lunch with 1 or 2 colleagues. More doesn't always means better, and I realized it again.

Happy birthday CK! Part II
It was around 10pm when I went to fetch CK. The cake was next to me at the front passenger seat, when he opened the door, he was kinda stunned, hahaha, and said: "No need ler gua...". Good surprise huh? I can't remember whether I had this kind of surprise before, probably no, but it's sure fun to make this kind of surprise to others!
Our birthday party was at Station 1 cafe.
We went to fetch Karen, CK's friend, and after arrived there, we asked Yanny and Chean to fetch the other friend of CK, MY, hahaha, we were like pushing the errand to both of them, the 2 shy boys were quite reluctant. It's a good opportunity what! So the attendees include: CK, me, Yanny, Chean, Siong, Elaine (Siong's GF), Jet, Cheely, Karen and MY.
We were just chit chat around, drinking, eating, having fun and waiting the clock to tick till 12 midnight. Right after past 12 midnight, we asked the waitress to take out the cake, to our surprise, the shop was suddenly blackout, the lights were out, and one dude just shouted and sang the birthday song, then all of us followed, hahaha, we were a bit embarassed, but it was fun! CK made his wish, finishing it with a blow of candle, and all of us clapped in joy! For the cake slicing part, I was not really good at it, and clumsily sliced them unevenly, hahaha!
It was a joyful night, we enjoyed ourselves very much, and hope for more similiar happy nights to come!

Happy birthday CK!
Today is CK's birthday, he's my younger cousin buddy. Happy birthday man!
I was aware of the occasion few days back, but was almost slipped through my mind on Sunday. Probably because nobody was saying anything, and the big day is on Monday, we still have sufficient time to plan it out.
At evening, suddenly received a SMS from Teng Teng, asking about this, then I was thinking, probably we can arrange it on Sunday, and Yanny also will be coming to pick up the AC adapter I promised to borrow him later. Aisks, what the heck, lets do it tonight! Then I started making calls. Also met Chean in MSN, I told him about it and we started discussing who should we call, birthday cake... Ya, the cake! It was 8pm and we had not even get the cake yet! Where should we get it? Secret Receipe? This bugger selling all cakes in one single size, which is too big for just the few of us, the one we bought for Yanny's birthday last 2 weeks was way too over for our appetite! King's Bakery? At least it has different sizes of cakes for us to choose. Without delaying more, I hopped in the bathroom, took my shower, and drove straight to King's Bakery.
The first thing that catched my eyes when I stepped into King's was a colourful cake displayed there, a fruit cake, yummy! Huh? Chocolate Mousse cake? A cake with all kinds of fruit toppings, and they called it a Chocolate Mousse cake, come on, can't you guys be more creative? OK, I'm gonna get this one, with 26 candles.. hhmm.. or izzit 25? I called up Chean to confirm, although I'm quite sure it's 26, but better make sure. That guy just told me to get 27 candles, hahaha, better more than less, right? I bought the cake and went back home. Got a call from CK, and I told him yum cha at 10pm, without telling him the planning, hehe, and now we wait for the big surprise!

I'm a cleaner today!
After had enough with the blogging thingy, it's time to do some cleaning. I need to clean up the 2nd camping tent that has been in dirty shit for the last 2 weeks. Ya, me and my friends had a little camping trip last 2 weeks, brought 2 tents along, thanks to the rainy weather, both of them in dirt mode. You can read up a little bit on the camping trip here. As usual, camping is the fun part, cleaning up the mess is the shit part. I've already cleaned up the 1st tent the next day we back from camping, and due to the rainy season, ton of job loads and usual hang-outs, today only I'm free to take care of it.
My mum was helping me to clean up the mess, was thinking of asking CK to help, but didn't see him around in MSN, so most probably he already had plan, and not at home. Suddenly the sun fade away and it looks cloudy! Dang! With the help of my great mum, we managed to clean it up in an hour, although the sky was still cloudy.
Next, time to take care my baby - my car. I had not bath her for hhmm.. around 1 month I guess, she was almost cover in dust and dirt all over. Hahaha, poor thing! Again, mum was there to help out, gosh, I am a mummy boy, and I gladly accept it, how many people has this chance huh? Hehehe! After finished washing my car, time to do some thorough cleaning, small dirt spots were gathered around at the lower part of the car body, with normal sponge, it's almost impossible to wipe this suckers off. Thanks to a special kind of sponge, a Japanese made sponge, which my good pal recommended to me, I can easily but still with some work and time, remove those stubborn suckers! I'm not advertising here, but good things are meant to share right? I will upload a photo of this wonder sponge later.
Now I only realized my baby was in bad condition, so, time to do some waxing! My brother bought alot of gadgets for his new Honda City, so I will just, well, borrow some of his stuffs to use, hehehe! Human waxing was not fun at all, I was like doing a full workout! Phew!
All these cleanings took me around 3 1/2 hours, and by the time finished the waxing, my hands were shaking, I was so hungry!! I quickly grabbed some fries and tong yuin prepared by mum, and also some rojak which dad bought. And sis was starting to clean her car too.
I went up stairs to check on the net, nothing special. Feeling tired, so I just hopped on the bed and trying to get some sleep. Nah, I just rolled here and there but couldn't get myself into sleep, really envy CK's ability to sleep anywhere, anytime! Hahaha! Went back outside to check on my sis's progress, she's starting to vaccum her car, aisks, what the hell, I will just vaccum my car as well!
After cleaning all the stuffs, I'm here and blogging today's activities, and that's about it, my Sunday! Probably later gonna ask CK yum cha.
Well, mum's calling, time for dinner!
Later~

About this blog
This is actually my second blog, this will cover what I do, the other one will cover what I think.
What I do as in what I do in my life, my daily activities so on.
What I think is what/how I feel towards my life and the things happen around me, some inner stuffs you may call.
2 blogs? Do I have the time? Of course no, so don't expect this to be daily.

I give up!
OK OK, I have finally given up! Was trying to change my blog address and username to those I preferred, but ended up getting all not available! After few hours of head cracking and server bombarding (coz I kept on submitting requests of all kinds to verify), I felt really fed up and shoot it with my name, and voila, it's available, fuck it! I am done with this! Waste of life indeed!
Originally was using Index Out Of Bounds as blog name and address as well, but found out there's already a blog with the similiar name, nah, I don't wanna confuse people with it, so I just changed to others instead.
But here's what I wrote for my previous description of the blog, I think worth a thought or two, so I will just post it here again:

How good if life can be always Index Out Of Bounds, where we are not tide to the boundaries of our limitations, for being poor, weak and every ways that we dislike.
