Shannon is back from Negeri Sembilan. Although Vincent is still stuck in Singapore, but with Shannon and Carl around is enough fun already. We had a '03 5 Science 1 gathering at the beach on Friday. Not everybody was there, but more than half turned up, mostly the ones from UMS. Had a lot of laughs that day. Annelly is finally heavy enough to withstand blowing wind, Paul is still the Einstein he was, and Lance remains the biggest of us all. Aleksteir, or Nunuk as we like to call him, was also present to my pleasant surprise.

Standing there staring at the beach, I realised I hadn't been there for ages! It's such a nice feeling to walk on the soft sand, the cool sea breeze blewing, the small waves rushing towards me. I made good use of the opportunity to re-experience it again, and the others did too. Sneakers off, roll up the jeans, head to the water. I can't wait for Pangkor Island this coming March. Dad's company have a time-share condominium there, so we'll stay overnight.

Pool was fun as well. Went to Bowlrama with Carl and Shannon. I have forgotten how interesting the place was -- the music, dim lighting, drinks and occasionally cute girls (even office ladies) playing. Should hang out there more often.

The other type of pool (swimming pool, that is) wasn't as fun. I found out how unfit I'm in it last night. I could swim, but got tired quickly and could hardly hold my breath under the surface. Ka Lik was worse -- he couldn't swim more than a few metres at a time. I thought he knew how to swim all this while. Apprently, he doesn't. It only took half an hour to make us put our clothes back and head to the basketball court -- now that's a place we're perfectly comfortable with. Lots of the usual guys were there. Some new ballers from Tenom have been playing here too. A week back, we lost all games to them. They're good, but if this evening doesn't rain, I'll kick their asses before they go back to Tenom. We do have some egos here. After all, this is Beverly Hills.

For the sake of interest and a demanding stomach, I will learn to cook. I'll be away from my mum soon, girls don't cook nowadays, and I'll most probably end up single for God-knows-how-long anyway. Time to find a manly apron...

By the way, I've got a date with Sue this evening. She's a junior of mine, one of those brave girls who initiated contact. Not that I'm into her though, I'm just interested in getting the photo we took together during graduation. Wish I'm not giving her any false hope by asking her out. I don't feel right at this moment. I'm just not comfortable going out with a girl I have no feeling for. *guilty* ... What if she tries to take the next step? Should I scream and run? *gulp*

Hahaha. I'm not that worried, really. I'll just pull out a few tricks from my own book, "How to Gently Breaks a Girl's Heart in 30 Seconds". Sorry, and thank you, but better kills off the feeling before it develops. It'll be much less painful now. I don't play the field and don't wish to hurt anyone. I'll just try to be as subtle as possible. Hope she gets the message.
