Aging & Wang Jie

Continuing on the topic of aging..

Dinner conversation for the past few days have revolved around 'getting old'..well i guess it's something inevitable(and 'comforting', in the sense that i'm not the only one..my friends around my age feel the same too)

Its no secret that i'm feeling lethargic..tired..fatigued..these days..think i haven't been 'socialising' so 'intensively' for quite a while liao..going out every day for the past week has taken a toll on my aging body..and just as i was recovering from my gastric, i woke up with a (very)stiff back this morning..even though i did not do anything strenuous over the weekend..as osm candidly said, 'all she has to do is drink water, and she'll put on weight'..and all zxl has to do, is to go out for a couple of days, and ta-da..aches & pain all over..sigh..

In fact, i was a little too 'happy' when my night ride last sat was cancelled(due to the haze)..someone commented i need to see a doc..and again, i was 'rejoicing' when the downpour this morning meant i had to cancel a session too..yes, i'm going to be quite poor if this goes on..

Another case to 'prove' our age..or rather, my age(since i was the one who instigated the plan - he was my school days idol hor)..we went for Wang Jie's concert. As we would know, Wang Jie was, rather popular before(though he can hardly be considered the hottest singer at the moment) i guess to really appreciate his songs and to pay money for his concert, chances are you would be born before the 80s..

After all these lamenting..here's something a little more 'cheery'..

Regarding the Wang Jie's concert..i was rather amused/amazed at the timeline we 'executed' the plan:

1545hr SMS from ZXL to 0.5: My nite ride is cancelled, lets go for Wang Jie! Ask Wee & Twink if they keen
1645hr 1st OC meeting at ECP, all 4 agreed to Wang Jie. But before that, 0.5 & Wee to do a short run; Twink & ZXL to cycle
1730hr From ZXL's big mouth: If i get a parking lot, i'll buy all of you tics to wang jie(cheers from everyone)
1740hr All 4 descended upon 0.5's house and started queuing for the bathroom
1800hr All 4 showered and left 0.5's house
1815hr Arrived at PP. We split up: ZXL to get tics, Wee & Twink to da bao food, 0.5 to stay behind in her 'taxi'
1830hr ZXL returned to the 'taxi', beaming with 4 tics in her hand, 2nd row seats! (from the back lah..) Wee & Twink appeared with 2 bags of food - Mission accomplished!
1850hr Arrived at Expo carpark, all ready for some 'creative parking'
1910hr The pregnant lady got into her car! Our 'taxi' started to inch towards her..
1915hr 'Taxi' parked!
1920hr All 4 squatted/stood/sat at a bench facing the toilet..gobbling down our dinner..Twink wryly commented: It's quite obvious who is here for Wang Jie, and who is here for the Korean Pop concert..
1935hr Dinner settled!
1945hr Seated at our 'premium' seats
2000hr Start of concert!

So there you have it..how we managed to squeeze a run/ride, shower, buying tics, parking, dinner, and arrived at the concert hall in a span of 3 hours..impressive isn't it?
