ANGUS & JULIA STONE - THE DEVIL'S TEARS
A song I used to listen and love during secondary school & poly days
And the COVID-19 situation has worsen again in my country... Just when we were recovering steadily from last year's dreadful circuit breaker, in phases. And just when I took up a new hobby/sport since March 2021. So I thought of trying for Muay Thai classes, under the suggestion of my best friend WQ. And I loved it!
The first trial class gave me aches and pains all over my calves and thighs, but I decided to start actual lessons just two days after (not giving in to the pain due to the tauntings by my brother -.- but now grateful to him for that). I had love sports since young, sports that doesn't require one to just jog or run for lengths, but sports that included equipment or other forms exercises, or those that require teamwork.
so basically martial arts? basketball, volleyball, netball, soccer, badminton, rockclimbing, kayaking, cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding, swimming, hiking and the list goes on... However, since i'm an introverted person and never really had that many friends, I could only enjoy the team sports in school or like basketball with my cousins.
Anyway, back to Muay Thai... So I was telling WQ how surprised I am at myself for turning up so often, cause I was never really one to be so invested in something. I mean if I'm watching a series, building some DIY stuff, reading a book, building a collection of items; probably. But I haven't really been this invested in a sport since I left school :\ which isn't a good thing... cause sports make me happy; a game of any sport. It lifts my mood so much more than work (of course -.-) or even watching some series.
And I think the people at the gym are real nice, like they feel like family to each other. Though I just newly joined, and am still super shy to talk to everyone. And everyone's all so impressionable; big hearted, fun loving people. So now that I can't attend lessons, being stuck at home until further notice... I'm feeling real gloomy, and missing everyone.
And things at home... are pretty messed up. My family's fine, but there are lots of external forces that put pressure on my dad. To the point where he's so stressed up, and the weakest state I've ever seen him in. The one whom has been carrying us on his shoulders for decades... slumped in his room with no appetite, and having so little conversations/connections with us these days.
My mom, siblings and I are pissed at those people causing this, but we can't take any action against them. We can only hope that Karma hits them hard, and continue to believe that those who do good and live life upright will have good things come their way or better days ahead. T-T
