Close to culture shock

Haven't been to Axis for combat for so long. Today I went because I so wanted to meet up and join a class with KG, haha... Now, the thing about not going to a particular place is that you tend to forget how to go about inside it. It's like going to a new country or new company for instance.

So what happened was, I arrived at Axis and parked at a familiar spot in the carpark. Proceeded to the lift with no problem but the confusion started when I had to choose the floor. I selected "2" but luckily there's this other gym member (though he was going to ground floor) who told me gym is at "C". Whoopss... At least I didn't get lost then.

No problem in the locker room. Only a bit taken back after the class when I was waiting for the a shower cubicle to be available. Since when we do not queue up for our turns? We just go stand randomly near to whichever cubicle and just use it even though it's not your turn? Geezz... Then it was at the hair dryer area, how come one person uses two hair dryers? There were two persons doing that when I tried to get hold of one to use. Humph...

The class timetable is not different and I was also a bit disorientated when I went into the studio, I think there had been some changes to the arrangement, or colour of the wall? Oh, new mats. Combat class was good though, I'm not crazy about the new release but it's one of the best releases and I'm quite fond of the tracks. Master C's class was the usual high standard but the crowd was a bit quiet compared to how I had remembered Axis' combaters. Someone missing?

Before the class started, we were trying our very best to get ourselves to a spot somehow near the stage, but clear of the holy-water reachable radius. Managed to "catch-up" with little bro while we sorted our standing positions out. Looking good little bro, though tired and wet.

Got myself more birthday wishes today. I quite like belated wishes and presents, it makes my birthday celebration seemed very extended. KG, thanks for the present, your presents never go wrong. And I love your personalized message.

Also had lunch with gal friend today, if you are reading this, thanks for lunch and the present. I'm glad you enjoyed my stories and yes, I know the final few posts were a bit sad. But what to do, life is life, and how happy we are is really fully depending on how we want to feel.

Finally, following up on my plan of getting my precious little pig her new cage - got one, and I'd to say they finally have a size that makes sense. The last time I surveyed, they were either too huge, or as small as the one I had. The one I got is just nice, though my pig is a bit "short" to do a graceful leap back into the cage, but she had managed, I'm so proud of her. I think tilting the cage slightly to facilitate her jumping would be a good idea. Piggy is happy overall. :)
