Mahjong Day!!

Went swimming yesterday. Did 4 sets of 400m. All in horrid times. Felt i was pushing harder, but didn't seem to be swimming any faster. Timings got progressively worse. Ended with doing 300m of kicking and 300m of arm pulling. Wanted to run after that, but was a hectic day after that so didn't managed to. Went back to office to settle clear the cases before the last call for CPF cases was enforced. Managed to put in 3 cases just this week alone. So i suppose if i really put my mind to working, it is possible to average 3 cases a week. Although it was 3 really small cases, i guess it's better then nothing. =)
After office, rushed home again to meet up with dad to head down to Turf Club to help him out. Was a good night last night in terms of business. Almost made it a perfect night with pictures of every race, except one. So, i guess both of us were in a pretty good mood. Just as we were about to leave, Jon called and asked if i could play mj. Thought it was really weird that they still wanted to play coz he called at 5pm to ask if i was free. Then told him i would be only done at 10ish. And he called again at 9 to ask if i could make it at 11p to play. Hmm.. thought about it for a short while before agreeing. Hands were itchy. Haven't played mj in almost 5 months. And it's usually pretty hard to find kakis now for mj.
Anyway, reached shop at about 11.15pm and realized that Jon wasn't going to be playing. So it was me, Ian, and two of his friends. One of his friends was a really slow player and the night really really dragged on. Sighz.. Anyway, the rounds took longer then usual coz of the slow player. Jon came back mid way in the 2nd round and wanted to play. So we agreed to play one more round just for him. I was really tired by then, but didn't want to be a wet blanket. Plus i didn't have any appointments today and didn't have to head back to office, so i figured it's alright. Was a mistake. Was so tired that i didn't see the tiles correctly. Ended up throwing out a tile that i told myself not to throw. Costly mistake. Set me back $40. Anyway, ended up losing last night. And mj ended at 7 this morning. Was so super duper tired when i was driving home. Could barely keep my eyes open. Was even worse since traffic is usually horrid in the morning.
Reached home, didn't even have the strength to eat, despite having my last meal at noon the day before. But really needed to collapse on my bed and chalk up some sleep time. I knew my plans for working out was basically screwed for the day. Slept till about noon, woke up, wanted to go swimming, but body was aching, eyes were still struggling to keep open, so decided to skip the pool workout and just go for lunch. After lunch, came back to settle some personal work, run some errands and decided i needed to take a nap before going for training in the evening. But alas, i woke up at 7pm and that was the end of my training plans.
Went for dinner with dad instead coz he was upset. Spent some time chatting with dad, before coming home. Conclusion is no more over nighters. Feels as bad as having a hangover. And i suppose now that i've got pretty fixed sleeping hours, staying up late basically screws up my whole bio clock. But it was great to meet up and play mahjong again after the long long break!
