New found buddy!!

I'm here today to blog about a great day I had with a new found buddy, JL.
Well, it all started out with a simple chat with JL on a forum and then on to skype. Then, we planned today's meet up which was a swim at a pool in the east. In Tampanies actually. Hahas, that's far from where I live but we've set a goal to visit every SAFRA pool there is so one day, he's gonna have to travel too. Hahas....
After some googling and searching, I finally located Tampanies SAFRA. Once again, I enlisted the help of gothere.sg and was given pretty good directions which helped me get there with no problems at all.
When I got to my destination, locating the pool wasn't too much of a problem too as many people were headed in that direction. I took a look at the sky and confirmed that the weather report I read on the newspaper for today was quite reliable. It had said clear on the newspaper and clearly, there was not a single cloud in the sky. I was really happy! I was going to be able to spend some quality time with this new buddy of mine. I was even going to get a good tan with this new buddy of mine. I was early though and removed my shirt to do some tanning first while waiting for JL to arrive.
JL arrived soon after and we got changed and went down into the pool for a some laps. Between the laps and even during intervals, we did stop to chat. As we chatted more and more, I got to know more and more about him and I had the feeling that I wanted to have spend more time with him to get to know him better. This wasn't just a friend or another acquaintance before me. He was something more... a good pal, a buddy! Someone who I wanted to spend time with.
As our time in the pool grew longer and longer, the merciless sun just continued to blaze overhead, offering us no reprieve. It was really a clear day and there were literally no clouds at all in the sky. Thus, it wasn't long before I started to find it a little too hot to be comfortable and I guess JL thought so too. We then agreed to go get some shade in the shower room.
After a quick shower, we got back outside and decided to head for lunch. We continued chatting and conversation just flowed between us like we had known each other for decades before today meet up. In fact, we had only just met today. Surprisingly, there was no awkwardness between us. We decided on having KFC at a mall near Tampanies MRT station and soon set off.
Hahas, just a moment! I'd like to add that most other guys I had gone swimming with, our time together only lasted as long as we were in the pool. After that, we separated and headed on our way. Somehow. being with JL was different. I had a really good feeling about being with him and I wanted to spend as much of today with him as I could. It didn't matter that I hadn't eaten much the night before and I had skipped breakfast this morning. Hunger just didn't seem to register in my mind.
We trained to Tampanies MRT station and arrived there shortly. The KFC restaurant was just a short walk from the station. We ordered our food and sat down to eat. I had hoped that the Double Down burger was still available. However, it was not. Thus, I settled for a Zinger burger meal with some Spicy drumlets as I had really wanted to try those out. We then chatted while we ate. Hahas, the spicy drumlets tasted not bad. Well, at least it was not all just spicy but there was some saltiness too... much too salty rather. Haha... too much MSG!
We had time on our hands after that so we decided to go shopping. I wanted to get myself some boxer briefs so JL took me to a departmental store, BHG, at Century Square. After some looking around, I decided on a box with two pairs of boxer briefs inside. It was on a 20% discount due to the GSS so I saved almost $5.00! Hahas, I was so glad to have bought it. It's all thanks to my buddy JL sia! Hahaha...
We left soon after that but we're definitely going to meet up again really soon. Haha!
