A cup of cold strawberry yoghurt topped with munchie overflowing blueberries is so shiok after a jog.
It would be complete with a loved one sharing the youghurt with me.

Friday, June 1st, 2007Stirred and very shaken…
Thursday, May 10th, 2007I almost got knock down by a car and died…….
Went jogging around the neighbourhood and i was just a junction away from the home stretch. Looking to my right, i did not see any cars coming. I wanted to cross to keep the momentum running, but it was still green light.
Then the traffic light turned amber, so i did not look to my right, thinking (whatever was i thinking about??) that there wont be any more cars coming from that direction. Instead i was focused on the left side of the road, wanting to cross the road before the cars turn right.
Seeing the cars on my left not moving, i decided to run across the road. The next thing i heard was horns blaring and feeling the whip of air on my right leg. A car just went past, missing me by inches! If i had been running slower, or even stared running across the road 1 second later, i think i would have died….or worse become paralyzed…
I was berating myself for not checking the traffic, and it was only awhile later that i rem that the asshole driving the car was running the red light! Tmd….
Standard Chartered Marathon 06
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006I survived my 1/2 marathon! But i cant really feel my legs…its as if they don’t belong to part of my body.
Briefly, before i go concuss:
Slept at 11pm yesterday, woke up at 430. Had coffee (bad choice), bread and half a cup of milo before deciding its time to make a move. Drove Dad’s car and parked at Carlton Hotel in the mistaken idea that on Sundays its per entry. It cost a total of 12 farking dollars!!! Bloody hell….
Since i signed up for the event alone, was walking ard trying to find where i could deposit my bag. Having settled that, it was almost time to start and i was just hanging ard when i saw Andrew! Haha…then i saw Tham Tuck and Poh! =)
The race started soon after, and i spent 6 mins walking to the starting line. Well, the first 12km was a breeze, overtaking people at will. When i saw the 16km sign, i was really running on auto mode. My legs were telling me to stop, but i made them carry on running. The last 5 km was really terrible, overtaken by alot of guys and GIRLS and AUNTIES! =(
Timing: 2hrs 28 min something. At least i achieved my aim of finishing within 2hrs 30 min! =)
There was a major cockup over the claiming of bags, and i had to wait for 1hr 30 min just to retrieve my bag! WTH, should claim the parking fee from them!
I think i will go again for 21km next yr, not mentally tough enough for the 42km!
Frustrating week
Saturday, December 2nd, 2006Was on leave from wednesday onwards, and even though today is friday night, i am stuck at home. Why? Coz the Standard Chartered Marathon is this sun! Argh…feel so torn between going/staying out late having fun and the need to rest for the run…Its not as if every week i would have the opportunity to take leave during a weekday.
BAH! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…..
Lazy
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006Haf not been updating, running for almost a month.
I want to put all the blame on being busy at work for not blogging, but i think its really just plain laziness. Mitigating factor would be that i lead a boring life, nuthing to blog about.
Well, as for running, how in the world does 1 find time to go running when work ends btw 7-8pm when you have yet to eat dinner, and it takes another 30 mins for you to get home? I am really blaming work for not jogging.
ARGHHHHh…….the Standard Chartered Marathon is like less than 1 month away……DIE…….
Friendship in adverse times
Tuesday, October 10th, 2006Went back to my client’s place, a place i have not gone back since Feb 06. All the staff there were pleasantly surprised to see me after such a long time. I think after you go through all the shit together, you become more than just a client-auditor relationship.
Too bad Yvette wasn’t around, i was quite excited about seeing her again. She’s really a very very nice and humble person, someone w/o airs. Hope her baby and she are both doing well!

冷笑话
香蕉生病了，看了很多医生，却搞不清楚生什么病。
终于香蕉去看专科。 香蕉问医生：“医生， 你看我生什么病！”
医生说：“没问题，你先脱衣。”
当香蕉脱了衣， 医生看了就说：“噢， 你得了脊髓弯曲症！”
