With the Egyptian

There's just a sense of satisfaction guzzling down beer. That fizzy bubbles, the huge gulps.
And that's how I ended my Friday and the work week. Again, dunno where time went.
And today is SG's CB-breaker day, where 5 folks are allowed to gather, to go for a meal, where shops reopen, where some new normal restarts.

Here, it's the same. Shops are slowly re-opening. Public spaces too, and.... tennis as well.
So I am just so thankful, and simply, just happy.

The tales with the Egyptian man was a constant this week and last. I re-started some tennis, and it was very hard-going some days, even in the evening time due to the heat, but but but, I am just so glad to be able to hit some balls, correct my strokes, unlearn and relearn. So I had 2 tennis lessons this week, and then today, we ended with a great great dinner at Madang.


Tennis, once again. :) And with social distancing in place. :)


The food @ Madang is just too yummy. Grilled beef, Fried Chicken, Jjamppong, Bulgogi, Kimchi pancake.... and the beer.


I would never never ever imagine I would get to know an Egyptian. But I did. I don't think he would have met Singaporeans the way he did too. Beyond the court, it's been a bubbling friendship, and Omar has one of the heartiest laughs, he is affable and kind, and is one of the most well-liked coaches here at ZSC. We were randomly assigned to him when we first decided to engage a coach here. So that's a blessing in itself.

Just thankful and feeling fuzzy and happy.
It's a beautiful dinner to end my work week. 感謝な気持ちいっぱいです。
