Rock Climbing Again!

Yesterday, went rock-climbing at Farrer Park again and it was dam fun! I think it's true, when i'm with Christine, i haf more fun than the poor girl cos she has to do things like initiate, organize, belay me and be the butt of my constant suan-ing and disturbing...And yesterday was no different...We went to the rock-climbing place after having lunch with my cell group and body-builder Jeremy was very nice to drive us around and drop us off at the MRT station...Btw, jeremy is a guy who in my opinion, challenges gender stereotypes. He is this hulking bodybuilder guy with 16 inch biceps but who loves soft-toys and isnt into soccer...And yes, he's straight as a ruler...Anyway, i wasnt particularly feeling like rock-climbing and was at some pt even quite tempted to call Christine to say i wasnt gg...But am now very glad that i didnt...

On the MRT, we were quite bored so we started comparing and ranking frens (Christine's initiative)...She would ask me something like "Michelle OR Serena" or "Linnet OR Viv" and i would haf to pick one over the other. Soon, i reversed the questions on her and found out that i pretty much beat everyone on her hierarchy of frens 'cept Hong Lay...Hong Lay, u r my new rival and i shall attempt to beat your record of talking to Chris on the phone for 3 hours by talking to her for 4...Then i asked her who would she pick "hong lay or yan ying?" and she went silent...For her answer, you got to ask her yourself lar haha...Hong lay, you would prob ask Chris to eat shit (which i, being a very good fren of Chris, won't) but i know in your secret heart of hearts, you are dying to find out...I'll tell you for $50 ok?

When we finally reached, it was about 4pm...quite late but we got into action fast. Thankfully, there was Ryan, Christine's best-fren's ex, who gave me some proper tips (instead of just telling me to "step up! step up!") about using your toe-box when stepping, twisting your body sideways and having a 3-pt contact with the rocks as opposed to a 2-pt hinge-like contact...I think Chris din teach me much the last time probably cos the competitive her is secretly afraid that i will become better than her in climbing like i am in badminton...So in a way, y'day's climb was much more fruitful than the last time...I was particularly impressed with Chris though when i saw the way she skilfully did splits when climbing and employed other tactics like the side-step (i think) in scaling the walls...I was even more impressed when Ryan and Yanying told me that she was so hard-core in the past that she could lead "the roof"- the horizontal 90 degree part of the wall, and that she would scale the same wall up to 18 times at one shot in order to train her arm-strength...Wow! i realli had no idea judging from the way she is such a gu-niang, what with taking 20min to change into her sports gear, her whole-day fretting about how short her fringe is, her 1 cm thick make-up and her KFC-crave-inducing arms...

Also, managed to get to know some of her frens abit better...Yan ying was alot more conversant y'day and we had a good time disturbing Christine...Serene was shouting throughout (the gal admits she's abit deaf) about playing mahjong and how one ang-moh's guys balls were showing through the thin fabric of his pants (she says it's a turn-off but then again kept looking like she couldn't resist)... Ryan was patiently teaching me how to climb properly...And Kelly (ex-national climber!) let me in on how she took 6 months off to travel to europe to do real rock-climbing and how she recently just got a job at CAAS....It was great and i had a realli good time...

Finally, we went to the airport to send Yi Kwee off...Yi Kwee's my cell-group mate and he left for Spain y'day for his exchange program...On the way there, the fatigue realli set in and i din wan to stay long...Fortunately there was Jeremy Air to East Coast and Michelle Air (which had to transit at Tenah Merah before going to East Coast) around and we took Jem Air home...So thanks Jem! At some point during the send-off, Christine discovered a zit (with pus) in the area between her neck and her boobs, and so, spent the rest of the nite self-consciously buttoning her blouse that refused to stay buttoned (or so she claims...My suspicion is that she may haf been trying to seduce me or Jem) or using her hair (with now short fringe) to cover it up...Then she also discovered that she left yanying's shoes at climbasia and found out that yingzhi had already recieved her letter from MOE...What an eventful nite for her...And for some reason, she also fretted about her impending interview with MOE...Scary meh? Just say i want to mould young minds can already lor...Anyway, i'm sure u'll do fine...I think the competitive you is more worried about not getting the letter and 'losing out' to YZ than anything rite? Haha...i understand...
