Saturday is my favourite day of the week- and this Saturday may have been the most productive Saturday I've had in many. I did my laundry, vacuumed my room and ate breakfast/lunch while watching my LoL games. At least when I can't play I can watch my favourite team play and cheer- even if it's on like, 240p.
I need to start thinking about finishing my tutorial preparations soon- but I just had such a wonderful day I'd rather not spoil it. At around 3 in the afternoon I went to "badminton" with my room mate. While I do enjoy badminton, I didn't really feel like going to the club at like, 3 in the afternoon on a Saturday. Nevertheless she convinced me to go, though before we left she stressed that it's not her fault if I find it boring and want to leave.
The funny thing was, my room mate only had a very faint and very vague idea of where the courts were- and we went around for a while looking for the gym, before we found a map which confirmed that the courts were practically on a different edge of campus. I thought we'd just walk over to it- it would've only taken 10min max, but apparently my room mate got too cut by the fact that the courts were not where she thought it would be, and refused to go. I'd say I was baffled, except I don't think I cared enough. We just turned back and went to the beach instead.
It was a most pleasant afternoon- the temperature was near perfect, at around 24-25 degrees Celsius, and a cool breeze surrounded us for most of the day. It was just so utterly pleasant, we ate ice cream while staring at the half-naked beach-goers, but my room mate got terribly embarrassed when I commented that someone was "well defined" as a man walked past. My ice cream melted really quickly- it was the first time I had ordered 2 scoops in years. Swiss choc-chip ice cream tastes rather... strange, but it wasn't unpleasant. Then I had the raisin and rum at the bottom to add to the sugar content of my blood. We sat around for a while, walked for a while, and then we found this big rock on which we dumped all our stuff and then splashed in a bit of water.
The scenery was so beautiful it was perfect for photos- too bad my room mate is not much of a photographer. At least there was one photo that she took which I liked. I took photos of her in return- though to get back at her I caught her in one of her most unflattering moments. I took some decent photos as well, but naturally only the unflattering one was posted on Facebook.
We didn't go home for dinner- instead we walked around town, exploring the place. The shops had all closed for the day, but the weather was still really pleasant. We casually ended up at a restaurant with no particular reputation, but I was sick of explorations and the restaurant did not look too bad. We ended up ordering more than we could eat- but there were still a lot of things I wanted to try despite their limited menu. The only thing I can say is- pho is quite delicious, and even a small restaurant can have decent food.
We sprinted for the bus stop when the bus came- it was dark and we couldn't quite see where the stop was, and by the time we spotted it, the bus was already driving towards us. For the first time in my life, when I sprinted towards the bus stop and waved for the bus to stop- it actually did. I've just grown so accustomed to drivers being unsympathetic, that it came as a pleasant surprise. Literally nothing ruined the perfect afternoon and evening. Nothing.
This easily completes my 4th day of trying to be happy.
