i'm back... but sick...

hey guys (and girls).. i'm back!

for those who dont know what i'm talking about, i just cam back from KL.. unfortunately, i got sick when i was there.. and i'm posting this at home because i cant go anywhere.. its wednesday and i cant even go for training later! i havent missed a training session in a VERY long time..

so last saturday i went for the morning runs as usual.. i had to run 12 laps.. i did it in 35 minutes 20 seconds i think.. and after that the whole team went back to the squash court like we do everyweek.. unlike the week before when i didnt have to do an exercises, i had to this time( thanks to my big mouth laughing while the rest were doing the exercises).. so 6 sets of push-ups, sit-ups, and more......

after that, play squash with Ryosei, Jee Nee, and Celine.. it was fun but tiring.. after that, i had my training (great!).. my coach, Kok Sin, was in Japan so we trained solo.. so after training i went for lunch and home to pack my stuff..

i was leaving for KL.....

left at around 4pm.. and stopped at Ipoh for dinner.. we arrived at my uncle's house in Kuchai Lama (i think) at around 9pm++.... took a shower and went to bed..

the next day, we went out with my uncle, aunt, and cousins.. we went to One Utama.. unfortunately my arrival in KL was a week too soon (there will be a sale next week).. haha.. so i bought 2 shirts (which will eventually be the only thing i bought in KL).. then we had lunch at Chillis.. it happens to be my first time..

i was bored.. so why not?

sorry if the picture looks shaken.. truth is, it was.. my family wouldnt listen to me when i asked them to stop for me to snap a picture.. i had to take this picture fast before those hungry hands came in the picture.. haha..

err.. i guess i was hungry.. i suddenly realised i havent taken a picture (for fun).. but it was seriously good..

my family at Chillis.. without my dad (cameraman..LOL)

so after Chillis, we walked around and i passed a Honda showcase.. there were Honda Citys and Honda Civics on display.. obviously i went for the Civic.. on display were the Civic 2.0, Civic Hybrid, Civic Type R, and the Civic Type R MMR(Merdeka Millenium Race).. i only took a pic of the MMR...

isnt it just beautiful? lol.. i'd love to drive it someday..

after that, went home.. and bla bla bla.. lol.. the next day, i went to the American Embassy for my visa interview.. after i got in, my dad and i waited and waited......... and waited.. after like 1 hour or more, we were called to the counter for questioning.. and 3 questions later, they grant me a visa.. after SO long sitting there with nothing to do, all it took was 3 questions?? talk about inconvenience.. sheesh! went to KLCC after that but had nothing to purchase..

moving on.. drove to my a factory belonging to a friend of my mum's.. Euro Atlantic(supplies fruits and vegetables and certain seafood to hypermarkets, supermarkets and well, u got the point.. after their discussion, we were off to Mid-Valley (along with some fruits).. had something to eat at Secret Recipe and walked around lookin for things (to buy).. here's a conversation i had with my parents over a squash shoe..

ivan : dad, this shoe(Nike) is cheaper here than in Penang..

dad : the structure of the shoe is not for squash..

mum : yea.. i'd give it a few weeks and it'll koyak seeing how u train..

ivan : then when will i get to buy a squash shoe?

mum : you already have a spare.

ivan : i dont like that one..

mum : then you'll have to hope it wears out fast..

so yea, i didnt get to buy it.. now i'm stuck with my 2nd pair cause my 1st pair KO-ed already.. the following day, went to the Embassy again to collect my passport and visa.. after that, we're homebound.. stopped at Sungai Buluh to have Burger King.. haha.. then at Ipoh for dinner.. i arrived in Penang last night at around 9pm..

now i'm stuck at home with nothing to do and it's only 1pm ++.. i'm still praying that my mum will give me a call and say i can go for training.. but lets not keep hopes high.. so that's all for now, till the next post.......

Ivan, out....
