Last Saturday, after about 2-3 weeks of me not going swimming, I finally get back to my routine - with my swimming partner Nelson, an Air Force personnel. On that day, I only did about 6 laps instead of the usual 16 laps in the pool while Nelson did 8 laps instead of the usual 16 laps too.
The reason to why we both did not perform as well as before is as follows. Nelson just returned from Air Force training in Brunei and thus he has not had much time to recover from his tiredness. As for my part, the reason to why I did not perform well is all due to my deteriorating health which I have been experiencing right after my favourite cousin passed away last few weeks. Despite this, I will try to stay strong and to strive on :)
Anyway, about an hour an a half after we swam, we decided to have our dinner at Banquet. To be honest, I was the one to suggest us to go there since I have not been eating my favourite food namely 'Golden Chicken' from there - for the past 2 weeks. To my delightful, I realize there is a slight change in the store which I never failed to buy from every week.
I could easily spot the change in structure of the store, the type of cashiering system which is being used, the "NEW" sets of meals which are being offered and of course, the staff of the food in the store. I was so happy. In my heart I says, "Yeay! At last after 2 weeks I can eat the Golden Chicken"
Right away, I approach the staff and placed my order. To my disappointment, she said that the food is no longer available. In fact, my favorite food store has extinct as well. I was really astonished. I really did not expect that the 2 weeks of me not visiting the store would result the store to close down.
Thus, I tried to stay cheerful as usual and ordered 'Black Pepper Chicken' from the Western store. And yea, Trust me! That will be the last time I will order the meal from there! For me, the chicken is nice but the sauce they use really sucks BIG TIME! I rather spent my hard-earned money on the food from Swenses instead!
Anyway, will update my blog whenever I'm free again. Till then :)
