Tennis, Training, Johnny & Delta of Venus

There are several highlights in my life at the moment and it is seeping in bit by bit to give me the feeling that I will not be able to blog as much as I would like to. So I shall conclude that this is the tip of the iceberg of me living my life.

Work has been a lot as I have always ranted. Over and over, this I believe would take part of the centre stage which I believe has several scenes playing all at the same time.

I have started my tennis lessons with Janie, Jeanie and Evonne on Sunday and it was really fun. I am happy because finally I have an opportunity to be with the sun again, then I am of course happy because I finally have someone proper to teach me the real tennis. Forehand, backhand and pull through. As I was picking up lots of balls (and mind you, when I mean, lots, it is really LOTS), I was glad that we had Roger. Roger the coach is a chatty and very patient guy, not forgetting with his number of coaching he has been giving throughout the past 13 years, I am sure teaching us, the ladies in distress (so some extend) is just a simple feat.

I am indeed looking forward for 9am Sundays at the court from now on.

Of course I have started my exercising regime without frills last week. I started off running in the early morning prior to work and even got my heavy feet for yoga classes. As usual, yoga always reminds me how much strength and flexibility I have loss for the missing classes. I even got myself a new mat! But I have to bow very low and admit yoga's amazing wonders when I held on to the soars for 3 long days despite the running.

I am in the midst of getting the story about Johnny written so I am able to submit him for the Malaysia's anthropology this month end. I choose Johnny because he is such a colossal of character that he represents pretty much the Chinese mass market of Chinese men in Malaysia. Lies, deceit, money, women, sex, food and a nice to be around person. To begin, Johnny would be Jimmy in my story.

It says here, 5000-8000 words for him. I have no qualms about having all that I know about Johnny and his misadventures here, but I am only in doubt if I could ever finish him all in the maximum 8000. Honestly. He is quite a character.

Big L has asked me to also join in for a creative writing online class but I doubt I am into it for now. Much as my heart palpitates to want it, my time is now tightly filled with everything else that I don't think I would have time for assignments, class discussions or even homework.

Even as I am typing this, my reading has been stowed aside and drawing has yet begun. My focus now is toget Johnny aka Jimmy on. And I want Jimmy to be a good piece :-) so it would take me quite a bit of effort and time.

Finally also, I have gotten Delta of Venus. But I have to admit I am truly disappointed with the first 3 chapters as I was mentioning to Big L. I felt it wasn't emotional enough, it wasn't depthful enough to bring erotica to a level that I call 'taste'. Intrigue it was however. Maybe I have read better less infamous ones. Maybe I have already an ideology how I want erotica to be so when it doesn't fit to 'what' I perceive, the element of disappointment emits. I suppose.

Well, so much for now. I wrote half way about Beijing but I got utterly bored writing about it. Haha. So later when I am done with Jimmy, I would give excerpt of Beijing that excites me. Not going to write a travelogue as that is pure pussyfoot boring. Till then… I'm going back to Jimmy… *wink*
