Saboteur.

Had a long but fun day yesterday.

Dragged myself to the gym for my second yoga class. This time there were slightly more people, around 15 of us. The instructor was also different this time, a White lady in her 40s maybe.

The class was harder this time. We were always given the option to do the simpler version or the more advanced version. No pressure.

We focused a lot on the legs and hips, similar to the first class. I found myself shaking a lot. It's quite embarrassing actually coz nobody else was shaking like me. So weak. I should be the youngest in the class haha.

I was a bit concerned as the instructor used Buddhist hymns while the previous one we only had normal light music. But I guess it's ok as long as I know I am only there for the exercise. Nothing religious.

After the class I went to McD for lunch. But as usual, I skipped the fries and soft drinks and ordered two burgers and a cup of coffee.

Played one game on Dota and then prepared myself to go out with David and Curtis.

David and Curtis are the gay couple in our church. They were going to introduce me to their couple friend Ben and Nam.

Reached Ben and Nam's place after more than 30 mins in the car because the traffic was heavy. I was actually quite sleepy already as I didn't have a nap in the afternoon. But I guess it's always exciting especially when you are meeting people that you don't know at all. It's like they may be two super hot or cute guys haha.

Well, they are not the typical hot guys that we will see on Jack'D or Grindr. Maybe they are and it's just that everything was covered in their sweaters.

Ben is involved in a lot of gay health activities and knows a lot of other people in the circle. Nam is a doctor. They are planning to set up their own private practice and so Ben will be working together with Nam, so cool.

Ben is from Malaysia and Nam was born here and his parents came from Vietnam.

They invited another friend to join us. I think they were really thoughtful as they didn't wan me to feel like I was alone with two pairs of couple.

The  dinner was really delicious. Nam cooked us something like Lasagna but it was vegetarian, so it was eggplant and cheese. Perfect combination. Ben prepared the salad which was also very good especially when it's served with ground almond and peanuts.

Since Ben is also from Malaysia, it was easier for me to talk to him since we had more common topics to talk about. He's the super cheerful type of guy, laughed a lot and whose role was to warm up the whole atmosphere. Nam's like the calmer type, a listener but friendly nonetheless.

I also had Roti Canai! So Ben cooked some Dahl and bought some roti from an Indian shop. Nice. Haven't had roti for quite some time.  I actually wouldn't mind having only roti for dinner last night haha.

We then played Saboteur. It's a card game. It's about dwarfs versus the sabateurs in mining the golds. Nam taught us the rules and it's like a doctor educating his patients. Very clear haha.

It was a good few hours of playing! I don't usually play card games or board games. Just lazy to learn I think. I don't even know how to play Uno. It's that bad. 

But I guess it's not really about the game sometimes. It's about the company, the fun, the laughter. 

Got home at around 11.45 pm. A long day indeed. But I'm happy that I am knowing more people in the community in a non-APP way.
