Uprising

2010 21km..here I come

Finished the 21km!!
Although I fell short of my target of 2hrs 30mins, I managed to complete it in about 2hrs and 37mins..
Well, at least it was because my legs are so damn tired, sore and pain, and not because I did not have the stamina to complete it! Couldn't resist the temptation to walk!!

Also congrats to Mitch who came in about 10 mins faster than me! So can I be proud of you? hahaha (it's not 3 hrs leh, can la right..)

Pool, dinner and drinks await, if I can still move of course.. No more abstinence until the next 21km! And I will do it better than this year! (even if it's just 1 second)

Peak is over!!

30 November is over!! No more filing deadline!! But work still never ends..well..at least it's more relaxing now..

Can't say I am very prepared for the 21km run this Sunday..I ran a total of 21.5km for training..

12.9km once..
8.6km once..

And my knee still feels tight from last Sunday cos I played soccer after the 8.6km run..

Nevertheless..I shall try to achieve my target of 2.5 hrs this Sunday..
Sometimes I wonder why did I sign up to torture myself..
Abstinence from beer..just for the run..
I am gonna drink a tower after the run on Sunday haha..

2009 - 1983 = 26

Signs that you will never relive the glory days:-

1. You run 13km in the morning and you can't get off the car after that
2. You drive to your friends house with anticipation to play Wii but have trouble getting down the stairs of the multi storey carpark
3. You play Wii and even that makes you tired
4. You go home and once you are on the bed you don't feel like moving
5. You fall sick and the doctor gives you 2 day mc (although falling sick could be because of the "scissor cut curry rice", mcspicy and "big eater" seafood)
6. You sleep 13 hours and still feel tired

Updates

Just some updates on what is happening:-

1. My good friend Shichang's mother passed away on Friday. Went to her wake on Sunday, and Shichang looked ok. But I know he is still getting over it, as even as a friend, I am already feeling very sad. It is just very sudden and I just hope everything will fall nicely for him.

2. On Saturday, there was the Corporate Community Games Pool Competition. I had sent 3 mixed teams to the competition. However, 2 people didn't turn up. I had to reorganise the teams and in the end forfeited 1 team. Although the firm paid for the teams ($500 a team), I felt it was a waste of money. Furthermore, in the midst of my busy peak season, I asked for budgets, organised training sessions, coordinated the teams, prepared souvenirs and everything, just to make this competition happen. But one guy overslept and one girl went clubbing after work at 1am, and both of them couldn't wake up. I am not angry, but just disappointed. It is just irresponsible, but well, shit does happen. And the guy was the best player and I seriously thought his team had a chance to win it, but it was not to be.

3. In between these things, I went to my grandma's birthday celebration on Saturday evening. It was good food and stuff and I hope my grandma can live as long as she can as she is currently diagnosed with the last stage of cancer.

4. I also attended a secondary school friend's wedding at St.Regis on Sunday. 2 rich families coming together, and my friend's father-in-law damn trendy la. Hairstyle very hip, and he has 2 twin sons who are damn handsome and look like actors(think Takeshi Kaneshiro and you know what I mean). Rich, handsome, just dunno smart anot.

5. Worked late again today as tomorrow I am on leave. Peak is really tiring and I hope everything will fall nicely in the end too.

6. Sipping my can of Kilkenny now (1 of the 2 cans i bought on the way back from Bintan). Shiokz..and enjoying the air-con while the weather outside is so warm even though it is night time..

Seems like alot of stuff happening suddenly..I prefer peace..cheers to world peace!!

Weekends so short..Weekdays so long

Says it all..

Peak is here again..
Not the 1st..neither should be the last..
But with support, drinks, and all the things that keep me going..
I can conquer it again..



I hope..

Bintan

Back from Bintan!!

So how will I describe the trip??
A few possibilities:-

- "Shiok stay" per Shichang, Gina, Gary??
- "Hao Hao Zhuo Ren" per Desmond (so does he want me to "hao hao zhuo ren" or "hao hao zhuo ren"??)??

Well..we ate..cycled..drank..slacked..kayaked..swam..slacked..ate..drank..slept..drank..etc etc

All I know is that I am missing it already..and I wanna slack somemore!!

On a side note, missed the mini earthquake in Singapore, and why did Singtel get the rights to EPL?? Damn..
