無聊的一天
心情還是很爛，很沉默，
心裡的結始終還是無法打開。
雖然已經過了很久了，
為什麼還是放不下呢？
haiz...
星期天
參加mizuno run
跟 mz & ks
一起跑10 km
mq虽然没有跑，
但是他陪yp去，
为她打气... :D
一早起来时，
突然发现下大雨，
但是我决定还是去，
至少还得拿
the goodie bags!
Luckily
我们去到那里时，
雨已经停了。
开始时还OK啦，
ks 突然跑掉了，
把我跟mz抛下... ...
人潮也开始多了，
跑道又很狭窄，
开始变的很困难。
更糟糕的是，
地面上有很多
water puddles,
有一些人为了竞争，
不管别人，
开始缵来缵去，
run on the puddles,
and splash the
water on the rest
of the runners...
without saying
"Sorry"... ...
YAH, 3 CHEERS TO
THE SPIRIT OF COMPETITION.
还有更worse的。
跑到一半，
来到了一个很拥挤的地点。
someone shouting instructions
to us runners:
A:
"... those running less than 10km turn right,
the rest go straight ahead..."
brilliant instructions.
who are those running less than 10km?
a) you mean those 5km runners,
b) or those 10km runners who run halfway?
nevertheless,
我们不知道该跑向那个方向，
问了很多人，也没人知道。
so we ran straight
但我们开始怀疑了，
getting lesser and lesser people running.
There are also two other
events held around the area.
SO MANY PEOPLE,
so who is who???
CONFUSION SETS IN.
Where are we heading?
as we are getting nowhere,
so we stopped running.
And headed back to the point
where the person was shouting.
It was disappointing,
to stop halfway,
probably less than 5km even.
当我们回到那时，
我们发现那是 ending point!
很多人跟我们一样，
lost and confused.
There was no proper
signs & directions.
There was no marshallers
along the route.
There was no proper
crowd control.
There was no good
handling of the event.
Collection of the goodie bags
was also a total disaster!
There was a long queue of
people but it's not moving
at all.
Everyone was jumping queue,
they just head towards the
collection counter and cut into
collect their share.
I did that too.
Because the distribution system
sucks.
If they can cut queue, so can I.
There was no proper control.
=_=
I shall not talk about how we lost
contact with ks.
Because he run so far ahead of us,
we lost him.
We could not link up with him at
the designated point,
because he was not there.
HAHAHA!
I think we lost him,
or he lost us.
We looking for him, he looking for us.
I reckon he'll do it.
He'll run home then contact us later.
Sure enough, he called back from his home.
Imagine,
other people run 10km, he run 17km.
Just an ordinary thinking soldier he is.
Got sponsorship on degree courses offered
by my employer, should i take it?
HMMMM... ... a point to ponder...

The day I feel lazy
*Re-edited as i was not sane the first time round*
I'm blogging in english because it's so much faster
that i can spend more time on my psp and sleep.
I don't get enough sleep anyway,
but i need to sleep early so type faster.
Anyway, went shopping with mz for ks bdae
gift, we shortlisted a few stuff but still not yet
really decided what to buy. Still got a few days
more to go anyway not in a rush, i mean, c'mon.
He has everything that he needs, what does he
lack of? He doesn't need much and neither does
he had any desires for anything materialistic.
We also went for some retail therapy, but didn't
bought anything.
Well, can't decide lah. This looks good. That looks
cool. That's so yucky. Those strips make me look
meaty...
It's probably time HE should move on.
Let's just face it.
It's probably Fated.
No point dwelling on it anymore.
Besides, There was no
affections for him in the beginning
such a sad ending... =_=
.
.
.
.
.
Prawning is the latest craze in town,
at least in my office.
Bought lots of gears and equipment for
the up-and-coming hobby of all times.
It's not just fun to me,
I get to eat the prawns too.
We have officially formed a WPC.
what's a WPC?

我喜歡跑步，但是不要叫我 "elite"
跑步是我的 hobby，
我也很熱愛運動。
但是我並不會
obsess with it,
或像莫一些人煉到
〉走火入魔〈
〉登峰造極〈
的境界啦！！！
但是，
最近有很多事困擾著
我的愛好。
我想要參加大多數的
跑步活動：
Passion Run,
Mizuno Run,
Army Half-Marathon / Marina Bay Run,
New Balance Real Run,
and finally the queen of all runs...
STANDCHART MARATHON!!!
但是，就是有一些在
management level
的人，以為自己很棒，
上過報，拿獎牌，
或者跑步比一般的
普通人快，
call themselves the cream of the crop.
害到我不敢在放工后，
留下來跑步了。
我也不敢跟同事們說我的愛好，
不然，people will say i am elite.
I AM NOT OKAY?
那些 management level
的人還想勸
people to join the AHM
AND register with them.
SO THAT CAN TRAIN TOGETHER.
拜託啦!!!
我可不想跟你們混在一起 lor!
我 train 我的，
你們 train 你們的。
不要把我拉進去。
別說我 "buay steady", not cohesive,
no team spirit, no camaraderie.
I run for the enjoyment of running,
NOT for people to scream and shout at me
to run faster.
OR say that I don't put in effort to run.
OR comment that my timing is poor.
PLEASE.
YOU ARE KILLING MY FUN.
I run for myself, not for you.
Running is my hobby,
my enjoyment.
NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE.
DON'T YOU DARE SPOIL MY FUN.

我的这一天
今早起来感觉很疲惫。
无精打采的。
可能是睡眠不足吧。
但是还是模模糊糊的
赶快准备出门，
去搜索及购买旅行的
配备和一些必需品。
旅程的其中一个景点，
是要到Mt Everest
的 Base Camp 啦！
买了一个subzero的
睡袋，价钱虽不便宜，
到时候会派上用场的。
今天真的有够无聊的...
大家得参加团体活动，
但大多数的人都没兴趣。
还好跟几个同事去钓虾，
满有意思的又好玩。
一阵天不知道为什么，
我的脑带一片空白。
没有什么思考的。
也没什么烦恼的。
真的很空，很空。
仿佛好像行尸走肉咧，
一点生命力也没有。
好可怕喔... ...

累了吗？
人始终是会累的。
人累了就得休息。
今晚，她看起来已经精疲力竭了。
繁忙的一周耗尽了她所有的精神。
那双灿烂又迷人的眼神，
已经开始变的迷迷糊糊了。
最后，
他该说的，想说的，始终没机会说出口。
就算说了也无济于事反而只会弄巧反拙。
命运三翻四次的阻拦他，
这可能就是他的宿命吧。
本想向她探索以久的答案，
对他来说已经不重要了。
再也没有那个需要去问了。

Time is not my friend (bloody title bar still cannot work)
Second weekday of the week. Many things do not seem to look too bright for me at the moment. WITS project need to be completed by end August and what do I have today? = Last minute instructions and deadlines. What kind of final product can i come up with in a short span of 1 1/2 months? I pretty sure it will be a fucked-up one. Sad to say, we have chosen a wrong project at the wrong time although it is a good one, but without much time to work on it, I guess will be to beg for more time to be given to us. It's a sideshow for Pete's sake! On top of the routine paper works, studies and examinations woes, it adds a bit more of pressure on the TOP. Need at least 10 weeks to develop not 6...
Speaking of which, i don't really like time at all, not a bit at the moment. I not just complaining about the amount i need for various activities but also the exact moments.
It's always the wrong time whenever i had planned something...special i guess. Who knows/cares what i planned is special or not? As long as i planned it, i think... it's special to me. Anyway, somehow or rather, friends will unintentionally just throw "spanners" or "monkey wench" to the PLAN. I don't mind that at all, really as long as it thawed/spoilt the PLAN. But NOoooo... ... it always forced me into an awkward dilemma, to make "the BIG decision" whether to continue with the planned activities or not. I could choose either ways, i meant, we could choose either ways, to join them or not....
ARGH! I have planned a dinner and for the rest of the day to be relaxing but NOoooo... you guys / gals then messaged everyone to meetup for dinner because you're freed from your heavily scheduled work and wanted to do a little catchup... I feel very disappointed if i kill off my plans and i will also feel "paiseh" if i don't go meet up with you guys... the timings are all wrong. Not saying that i don't like to meet up with you guys i loved too, but why can't it happened on another day or to someone else? why ME? More likely i think "TIME" is playing me out. Always "spanner-ed" me and the PLANs, never let me do what i wanted to do. this sucks.

Other thoughts for the day. ( this is my title, the title bar cannot be used mah!)
I've waited for a long time for the reply liao. I don't know, probably she has forgotten, perhaps she does not wanna hurt my feelings, maybe she does not wanna really bother about it, who knows? Probably it's best not to ask her about anything regarding it and add on to the unnecessary pressure. I don't know either.
Everything seems so okay leh, maybe it's just a fig of my imagination.
I don't wanna feel regretful for not doing anything anymore.
In the past, i had regretted many a times too many already for not doing anything, and missed out on the opporunities.
Waited 6 months already. i feel that the time is now. It's abit too long and draggy leh. It may not be a wise decision but i think i'll take a step forward first. Now.

Cannot type in the title, that sucks!
July begins... Lots of stuff happened on July... last year haha.
Participated in the Passion Run held in East Coast Park in the early morning. Considering that i have not been running for the past 3 to 4 weeks, i had planned to skip it, but shelved that idea. I needed to run and going for that event helps, just hope that i don't get myself hurt... badly. Met up with a few colleagues at the Starting Point. The starting was good and slow due to the congestion of large number of people participating and the short width of the running path does not help matter either.
I ran with a pace that was abit too fast for 10km, probably suitable for a 5km run definitely not a 10km. By the time i reached the 5km turning point, i was cursing and swearing at how far it was and out of breathe. Subsequently, i used the run-and-walk technique to gain back control of my breathing. By the end of the run, i was out of steam and my knee caps hurted... for the rest of the day. My legs are crampy too, think i overdo it. Sigh, should have relac-relac run...
Went watched DieHard4.0 with sj in the late afternoon. Pretty nice show with a good plot and of course MAGGIE Q~! Stunning looking babe, she looks hot playing that baddie role, too bad they scripted her character to die... so horribly. Haha, usually pretty girls don't die so horribly. The greatest overhyped part of the show was near the ending of the movie, where the X-35 fighter hunting the truck. I mean, com'on man, X-35 cannot hover and manouver like that leh, VTOR technology is only use for take off and landing. It's not easy to take off and land like that either, manouvering it so smoothly as depicted in the show is much more close to impossible. But it's an action movie, what else to do to capture the audiences' minds? But someone definitely not so fascinated about it, especially when she fell asleep during the scene above haha. Probably too much action for her.
After show, went down to Club Pine Close to meet up with yj, cla, roo & angie, ks for dinner. DaBao-ed from airport rd hawker center. I had the opporunity to carry lebron for the first time to the hawker center. boy was he heavy (for me of course, i had to carry him all the way there). I was profusely sweating all over and the heat was not helping either even though there are fans around. Well, he's a handful now that he learnt two things.
1. He can now stand up straight.
2. Now can stand up, walking and running was a breeze.
he doesn't mind falling though. Well, it's normal for babies like him to learn to fall and crawl and get back up again. Soon, he'll be running around, his parents will now train to chase him after a period of training their arm powers (carrying him from places to places). He's definitely a HANDFUL.

Another weekend coming to an end, felt fully recharged and ready for another week of chaos and flurry working schedules. *sigh* Project still half done and only did a bit of revision before the upcoming semester assessment, i wonder if i can make it in time. Better focus on studies first for the next couple of months.
Was quite a boring weekend, needless to say at least. Not much outing with the rest for the couple of weeks. mq injuried his knee last week during our routine basketball session, will be out for at least a month. Hope he can get better with good care and a speedy recovery. ks is as nuah as ever, while the rest are mostly busy with other committments. Well, the upcoming plans for the my long vacation trip seems to be on schedule according to the... plans. Just need to iron out several issues, especially the costs, haahaa. Definitely need to be much lower than the initial quoted rates, guess we will have to compromised on several other items on the itinerary.
Went ks house to do my project in the night time yesterday, not really very smooth in the beginning as i did not know how to start and what to write about. Lucky, my best buddy during my secondary school days was online to help me out once again with the contents. Really appreciated his efforts and helpfulness. We plan to watch S-league matches but damn but always misses the scheduled timings. Still got a few more matches left, let's just hope that there are enough opporunities to catch at least three.
Saw sj online too and had a short coversation, she was feeling abit faminish and so was I. SO, it was decided there and then that we could meet up and grab some bites in the middle of the night at the hk cafe. Went to the newly open store at ECP but later found out that they are not 24 hours, bummer. Luckily the one at Upper East Coast Road was not disappointing and we were able to feed the monsters growling in our tummies. Spent quite some time catching up and chatting about work, people around us, latest happenings, what each other have been doing and etc. Had decided to buy a new pair of soccer boots at "mustafik" after sending her back home, but i took a wrong turn and heading towards the tour agency for my trip. Realising my mistake, i gave up and head home.
Bloody hot day playing soccer in the morning. Did a lot of running and chasing the ball, too bad my control of the ball was extremely poor today resulting in many misses and loosed passes. Probably because i didn't play for quite some time already, or maybe i'm getting old. Trying to bake a buttercake at the moment, don't know how it will turn out. I hope it doesn't get burnt, at least.
