What did I do today? since I didn't go to the gym. So I ended up doing a lot of computer-related activities, as usual.
I'll tell it like a timeline. This morning, I had Pad Thai that my mom made. It was so, so delicious. I didn't eat too much, just controlled the portion.
In the afternoon, I studied more Japanese vocabulary and verbs. I also installed a new program. I used to use my own system, but now I'm using the Anki app. It's for language learning with flashcards, and it seems to be working better right now. It gives me a lot of new vocabulary and has a mining system to find new words. It's much better; it already has a database ready to go.
Then I had plans with Sky for the evening. I'd invited him yesterday to come eat Pad Thai that my mom made. He'd actually tried it once before, a long time ago. So this was another round of Pad Thai. Sky arrived around 7 PM. My brother and I had already eaten.
Sky originally planned to go to the gym. He said he hadn't been in two weeks, between work and travel, and hadn't run at all. So, he planned to eat, wait a bit, then go to the gym. (laughs) That's where the fun started. After he ate, we happened to have some Chang beer in the fridge. Not cans, but glass bottles, 620ml ones. (laughs) At first, I was just messing around, offering it to him, and he kept refusing. I was going to tell my brother to put it away. (laughs) But my brother didn't put it away; he poured it into a glass and served it to Sky. (laughs) In the end, Sky drank the whole thing. (laughs) I had a little too. (laughs) So, the beer was gone, and we were all full.
We joked that he was ready to go home now, no gym needed. (laughs) We sat in the room, Sky played games for a bit, and we just talked. Then I suggested to Sky that he probably didn't need to go to the gym anymore, and we should go get some ice cream instead.
My brother heard this. (laughs) He went to the freezer and found a single ice cream bar, the kind in a bag, that no one had eaten. It had been there for a while, and it wasn't a very good flavor; I'm not sure who even bought it. My brother opened it and gave it to Sky. (laughs) Sky resisted at first, saying no, no, no, but in the end, we all shared it. Sky even made us eat some. (laughs) We each had a bite or two.
But that wasn't enough, so we still went out for ice cream as planned, to our usual shop called imearn.krabi. (laughs) There were three of us: me, my brother, and Sky. We took two motorcycles since Sky had ridden his. On the way, we decided to pick up Pon too. (laughs) We didn't call ahead or plan anything. It was already 8 PM. (laughs) We drove to his house, then called him. He came out looking confused, saying he was just starting dinner. So, he stopped eating, got dressed, and came out. (laughs) Pon rode with me, not with Sky. No one dares ride with Sky except P'Earn. We're all terrified of dying if we ride with Sky. (laughs)
So we went to get ice cream. It was good. I ordered chocolate and honey-comb. It's our regular spot, though I actually prefer the one at Central now; it's richer and more delicious. We talked for a while. We already have plans for tomorrow: board games, and maybe another meal. The board games might be at my brother's new house or my place; we'll see. (laughs) My mom says we laugh so loud at my house. (laughs) Even when we play in the back room with the glass sliding door closed, the sound still carries. (laughs) How can we not laugh when we're messing around so much? We chatted a bit longer, then everyone headed home.
I just got home around 9 PM, but it's 10 PM now. I've been lying around and still haven't showered. (sighs) It was a good day, really funny. Sky didn't get to exercise. (laughs) He even took home some bananas, like three kilograms of 'Kluay Khai' (egg bananas) from my dad's farm. (laughs) So Sky came to work out, but ended up consuming over a thousand calories and not exercising. (laughs) He said he's going to wake up at 5 AM tomorrow to go to the gym first thing. (laughs) I'll probably go shower now and then review some Japanese before bed. I should try to sleep early, but please, don't let me wake up at 6 AM again. (laughs)
Oh, Japanese. You need at least 500 to 1000 words in your head to be able to read and communicate with people. (sighs) That's pretty good. There are different levels for the Japanese language test, N5 to N1. N1 is like native level; that would mean tens of thousands of words. It's really tough. So, I'll just keep learning little by little, keep myself motivated, and keep going. (laughs) Don't give up.
