De one with Rock Climbing

Not so bad a day as the falling rain

Due to yesterday's disappiontment that my plan to run in the evening being ruined by the wet weather, I had a satisfying 7 km run early in the morning. After which I came home, watched a few X-men 90's animated series and headed for Yishun.

Met Zhen Ze for lunch at a very familiar old place which we frequent during our army days. It's nostalgic. Fascinating thing was the rain came in while we were in the milst of eating. And the rain appeared on one side before "shifting" literally to another side of the open view from the coffee-shop which we were in. Spent awhile spotting whether it was really raining anot!

*giggle giggle*

We made our way to SAFRA. Second time with Zhen Ze, spared the very first time I went because of -A-. Reason being, Guan Hui had some matter to settle before joining us later. There was a distance from the busstop which both of us alighted to SAFRA, thus we ran slowly in the rain. Reached, enquired and finally made a registration at the rock climbing office, located near the park.

Relatively cheap since we were SAFRA members. $10.50 for fun in the bouldering room, an indoor rock-climbing session. Funny thing occured. The receipt which was given to me was printed but had nothing on it. Confirmed with the guy at the admin counter. Funny.

What's funnier? Not knowing where the Bouldering room was, Zhen Ze and I walked around searching for it. Only to realise it was so close to the office when we walked far away.

It was my very first attempt at rock climbing. Well, disappointing we didn't get to do the outdoor 12, 15 or 18 metres rock climb due to the downpour. Frankly speaking, I don't know why I've becomed sporty-fevered. Perhaps it's army and a growing adrenalin. I recalled during my secondary school days, I would avoid such physical activities and challenges. Well, spare the Confidence building camp which I kinda appreciated it.

The experience was great and exciting. I always get thrilled by new adventures nowadays. 2 hours and my left hand got exhausted. Erm, yesterday did weights training and today I just ran..accountable for reasons? hehe Oops ;)
Nevertheless, it was fun, fun, fun! Finally doing something new in the dwell of boring life.

After 3 plus, the rain stopped. Felt sour. Otherwise, we'd have been rock climbing outdoors. Soon, 2 ladies joined the room. Well, more means we have limited freedom to choose which part of the room to occupy.

We decided to leave shortly after Guan Hui came. What happened next was interesting. We went hunting for a toilet with seperate shower rooms adequate for the three of us. The optimum commodity was the one located near the swimming facility. Well, we extended our hunt for Cash Card topping up services since Guan Hui needed to purchase an entry into the swimming facility. End up, I bought one new cash card. One more card to my collection!

Did something illegal when we finally got to the swimming pool the second time. Earlier, I entered with my SAFRA card and came out since Guan Hui needed to search for Cash Card Top-up services. Not knowing the entitlement to one visit per day. I couldn't enter the second time. Left choiceless, both Zhen Ze and me entered concurrently via entrance with Zhen Ze's SAFRA card.

We left SAFRA and walked to North Point foodcourt for a "light" dinner. Guan Hui didn't have brunch. And I supposed most of us will be dinning at home.

I left for grocery shopping at NTUC fairprice AMK. Surprisingly, my consumption expenditure didn't hit $50. Other occassion, my visit to NTUC will always exceed that amout. Well, it came close nevertheless. $48 something. Wonder what did I get? Under errand for my aunt and ah-ma, I got Tabby's dog food and towel tissues respectively. Besides, I bought a few packages of made for frying food for the "rainy days", campbell's lastest "potato and spinach" soup, Brocolli, chicken fillet, ham and low-fat bread.

Told Denn, that most probably I'll be expecting muscle aches all over tomorrow due to over exertion. Hmm.. Let's see... Anyway, Jason and his rock climbing experience..Woohoo!
