I am still not sure if I like summer or not. Like it or not, it is already here. This summer has been acting weird; a week of 100ºF weather, then followed by a week of rain. After that, the temperature is hovering between 70ºF and 80ºF.
I have been outside running tests for work the last two weeks and got myself a very healthy tan. Because of that, I don’t feel like going out in the weekend. I don’t enjoy heat and sweat too much. I guess my only joy in this summer so far is playing softball sponsored by the company. I always like baseball, even when I was a kid. I didn’t get to watch too many baseball games when I was kid (baseball is not a popular sport in Malaysia). My limited exposure to baseball though, didn’t stop me from liking the game. I always like Yankees and dream about going to see a Yankees game. I did play “softball” with other kids when I was in elementary school, using a tennis ball and a wood table leg as bat. We spent the entire 15 minutes break between classes playing softball. No one really knows the rules. We just played however we like it. It was all about having fun.
Now, playing real softball, with a leather glove, cleat, real ball, bat and all the right gears is so much fun. This coming week, Ivy and I are going to the company sponsored baseball game at Washington Nationals new ballpark; Nationals playing against LA Angels. It should be a great summer outing. But right now, I feel like having a cup of nice coffee at Old City Coffee Cafe in Philly, where you can hear the church bell ringing prior to the Sunday service.
