Labouring on Labour Day

Work, work, work...

But I'll get to go out in the afternoon to play squash, yay! Smole got a "new" squash racquet from the Cash Converter Shop which isn't as heavy as the $6 one. We may trade back the heavy one to the shop. Hee hee.

As an aside, I met a really nice Fitness Trainer who gave me a complimentary body composition scan. Apparently, to reach my optimum body composition, I need to PUT ON 1kg muscle and 1.8kg fat. 1.8kg FAT!!! I mean, what the??? (The Fitness Trainer also complimented me on my push-up form. "Better than my guy clients," she says. Woot.)

I suppose the results do make sense though, since I did lose about 3kg after I stopped running as much. BUT I'M NEITHER UNDERWEIGHT NOR BONEY — FAR FROM IT! — AND ALL THE FAT I PUT ON WILL GO TO MY CHEEKS ANYWAY!

So I'm goin' to the squash court to build back some of 'em mus-cle.

Actually I learnt it from a book: Learn to play squash and racquetball in one weekend. I'm such a nerd.

But the book isn't important. Having a racket, a ball, and a friend to play with is the most important. Best if the friend is as good (or bad) at squash as you are — then you can laugh and learn together. Even better if your friend is Flick.
