Played soccer yesterday and then badminton tonight, had dinner with the 2 separate groups of friends after the games on both nights. After a few weeks of missing out the games, I now realize how much I missed these social times.
Without the games, I was able to arrange longer periods of uninterrupted time to work in the last couple of weeks, seemingly slightly more productive. I guess that’s the only downside of getting my regular weekly exercise back – less time to work. When did I ever become such a workaholic?!
Can’t think of what to get for my friend’s birthday, decided to do a little DIY this afternoon, hopefully she’ll like the little gift I made.

Went out to have lunch with a good old friend and his wife. I’ve known this friend since primary school, he’s probably one of the “oldest” friends I still keep in touch with. We used to meet up at least once a month, but had been a bit busy (both for him and I) in the last few months to have a meal together. It’s good that we were finally able to do some catching up this afternoon.
Completed the second painting of my oil painting class tonight, it’s my first animal portrait done in oil! There’s considerable improvement in terms of color when compared to the first painting, but there are many areas that I wished there were more time for me to improve it. Oh well, there’s always hope that the next painting would be the better one.
