Laundry Service

Weekend was good. 

Saturday- I woke up late, had some breakfast and went back to sleep again. Wonderful!  Felt so refreshed by 4:00pm.  Later I went for foot reflexology (blind man) at Damansara Uptown.  He remarked that judging from my feet, he could tell that I was lacking sleep.  Sheesh!  It's so true! He must have felt something in my feet that allowed him to come to that conclusion.  The reflexology was really painful but I felt really good after that.  After that I decided to go for Satay Kajang Haji Samuri (I hope that's the name).  Apparently they are one of the famous Satay vendors from Kajang and have opened a branch in Uptown.  I was a little sceptical but I was also a little hungry, so I decided to give it a shot. 

My conclusion- superb stuff.  The kuah satay was served in a very large bowl (ala Kajang style), and the satay itself was chunky and meaty.  I ordered 5 sticks each of beef and chicken.  Both were very good.  I would go there again.

Sunday was quiet.  More resting.  After church, I had dim sum for breakfast with Chen, Tey, CM, Ronnie,Siew Moi, Chen's wife and his family.  Then I went to Subang Parade and got a new set of vest and shorts from ASICS- they were on sale, 30% off.  All for a grand total of RM55.  Very reasonable.  Overall a good weekend.

Although I began Monday with a somewhat rushed but good breakfast with Jamie (who was almost recovered from his throat infection and cough), more was to follow- I had a meeting to attend.  I expected the meeting to last throughout the day but thankfully the "participants" were in a rush too- and it ended by 1:30pm.   I saw that I had 5 missed calls- I found out from Ronnie that Ajeep was in town and he already had lunch with the gang.  Oh well, another day I guess.  Later in the evening I had 2 appointments to meet- my running appointment at KLCC park, and tennis with a friend at 815pm.  I figured that if I arrived at the park by 635pm, that would give me enough time for a 8 lapper, before I run back to the car and rushed to Sunway for tennis.  Thing was, I had some last minute things to rush and I left the office at 625pm, and I barely made it at KLCC park on time.  Luckily I was dressed like Superman i.e. I was wearing my running clothes underneath my working clothes.  That cut out some changing time. 

When I arrived at the park I saw the usual fellas- Jamie, Newton, Kenneth, Rohaizad.  Saw pm21 there too but her husband was strangely missing- later I saw him sitting on one of the benches in his work clothes.  Apparently he's not running. 

I wore my Nike Kantanas- the shoe was alright, apart from the hotspots that I experienced on my feet.  It was quite uncomfortable and it affected my running speed.  I wonder if there is anything I can do about them.  I averaged about 6:38 per lap.  After completing the 8 laps I rushed back to the car and drove to Sunway.  With the heavy traffic I arrived 10 minutes late and played another 1.5 hours of tennis.  Very rusty as you can imagine.

Woke up this morning with slight aches over my body- due to the tennis probably, and my previously unused muscles.

I'm still contemplating whether to go for a quick run in the gym during lunch today before Tuesday track.
