So decided to meet wei qi and her colleague, tzekai, her idea~ Went to Well Played Cafe for some cafe food, beer and board games. Played Sequence, Catan and Cards against humanity. Would say we won one game each ᵕᴥᵕ Chatted lots about work life, a lil on family and some travels. Afterwards, we headed to Good bbq for some chinese food on skewers. Followed by an impromptu trip back to Bedok for some ice cream and waffles at Milk & Honey.

Met up with wei qi and xin lin to celebrate wei qi's birthday, dinner at Merci Marcel Club Street. Caught up with xin lin on her current job, her exciting travels and updated her on wei qi's job and our membership at the gym. The food was dee-lii-cious! Esp loved the Ravioles de Royans (French dumpling pasta filled with Tête de Moine cheese) We initially had plans to go batting (baseball) or sth, but the night ended young with xin lin's tummyache and wei qi's tipsiness from the drinks :B

Despite my mom's dissuasion, and my own hesitation (not knowing what to expect), I accompanied wei qi to a free trial class at a nearby gym, not far from our current one. They had lots of trainers, which seemed intimidating at first but they were really nice. The session was an hour and a half, which felt much longer than our usual class. I felt like dying 40 mins into class, but re-collected myself and was pushing through til the end of class. Finished my bottle of water by the one hour mark. Was quite shock at myself when I was kicking and punching faster towards the end of class. Like a last-ditch of effort(?)
After the trial class, one of the assistant trainer walked us through the packages and class schedules. I was certain, to continue sticking with onyx though. The guy then mentioned some stuff which I thought was disrespectful to the other countless gyms out there, and I think it hit wq in the same spot.
