squash

we found a pair of squash racquets and a ball while clearing out the office. since there are like a hundred empty squash courts in safti and i have so much free time now i played squash for the first time today.

it comes to me a lot more naturally than badminton or tennis ever did, and i'm looking forward to getting better.

of course, the only reason why i'm writing about this here is because it made me think of nicole. she told me once about her and squash; about her growing up, wanting to play squash professionally. about how she gave that dream up.

i have a cute image in my mind right now. nicole hitting a ball against a wall, again and again. kinda makes me want to kiss her.

but i've been filling out the days with work, with gym, swimming, running, driving, going out. it's been better. she's back from hong kong now i hope she had a good time. i hope she's happy and smiling and cute for marcus.

some days are better than the others. maybe i'm learning.

i think i'll be spending a lot more time in the squash courts over the next few weeks.
