Wow, went to support Jen's dance ensemble yesterday with a few others. Was looking forward to it because firstly, i haven't seen my friends in quite some time and secondly, it was a nice excuse to dress up lol. We even got front row seats!

The dance thing was pretty cool, cept being a non arty person, found it a little difficult to interpret what was going on. I think my favourite piece was the oriental one with lots of visuals and movement, second would be the last piece because i liked the soundtrack from les choristes lol! I quite liked jen's first piece which they were all wearing the purple dresses, which i thought was absolutely adorable lol.

We met her parents and her cute sisters at the show as well, cept they were sitting apart and the girls were having difficulties telling them apart (doh!). There was a brief moment in the interlude where i got to speak to her mum, she said "so free ah today."... hmmm...wasn't sure if she harbour any ill feelings towards me...

Anyway, it was jen's night and im glad of course to be there with the rest to show our support. Just recently I had my commissioning parade so i know it means a lot to have friends and family over. Quite proud of our friend also because she fought for what she wanted and is living her dream (how many of us can do that?), congrats jen!

Of course, as we always say... The night is still young ah! Headed over to HollandV to chill and grab some munchies and took some photos. Was a fun night, haven't enjoyed myself like that in a while.

Aight, im lazy. I have sooooo many things to say, i keep so many thoughts in my head in my head and tell myself that when i reach home, i will digitally transcribe them into words but alas!! Im too lazy! Or that i just have really bad memory and i can't remember half the things i want to say (i suspect a combination of both).

No point for me to talk about my exercise and how it went last week because as usual there was ton of cock ups and i had to get scolded somehow.

One of my colleagues reminded me that the Stan Chart marathon is even nearer than i thought and should have already been training, again which ive been lazy to do so lol. About 2 months more, must really buck up.... and they tell me i must run around 100km a week to complete comfortably....oh dear.... i barely ran like 14km just now and my knee still hasn't seem to recover from the half marathon, probably not that seasoned yet, but kinda afraid that it'll affect my ability to train.

Ive just completed Tuesdays with Morrie (lovely gift from my dearest Godsis), although its quite simplistic, i guess i can see why it is an international best seller. At least i now understand that being sad is completely natural, just need the time to grief and reflect, and then move on to the rest of the day.

I also realise, that a lot of things are not going my way... especially when it comes to work where it becomes very obvious. And honestly, most of these problems aren't caused by me and im usually doing the reactive part and 'damage' control. Still, it's probably the reason work has been giving me headache. My mom says im not praying enough, maybe she's right... i think somewhere along the line, i kinda forgotten that i have God to depend on, even though i know he won't reply me, i guess it still feels a little better to be able to share with someone what im going through...

"God, give me the strength to accept the things i cannot change"

Cheers,
A hopefully more optimistic me

Have you had the urge to do something that you know you might ultimately regret or would have just executed it in the moment of folly, insanity or pure passion? e.g. messaging someone when you know you shouldn't, letting yourself fall into relationships that you think you'd know better.

To be very honest, i have been thinking about talking to her again, in fact maybe even telling her that i missed her... and i don't know why... maybe its im lonely, stressed, or just really miss her.. i know i shouldn't, but there has been moments where i almost messaged her, clicked on her msn window and then closed it again before i typed anything. Wasn't I the one that wanted to move on? Im sure she already has. Or is it the lack of companionship that led me to remember the times we had? My Godsis says i shouldn't complicate my life, as complicated as it already is... i guess she's right (she's always so right)... so just hanging on day to day...

Don't get me wrong, not that im moping all the time or something... being single is certainly more carefree in a way, being in control of my own time and less responsibilities. Sometimes when im really tired and want to head to bed, i don't have to worry about not spending time with my girlfriend. Pros and Cons i guess.. I do enjoy my freedom, but sometimes all of us just don't wanna be alone.

cheers.

I sat in the aircon room the whole day invigilating tests on a computer game.... in the end, cant get my work done back in the office. But once in a while, you just gotta drop everything and tell yourself enough is enough... turn in your chips and play again tomorrow... which then again would make tomorrow's round even more interesting. 1 more month then we can all take a breather!

Wow, just had my half marathon run this morning. 21km around the city area and towards east coast park. Had to wake up super early this morning to make it in time for the start... was like report by 5am? wtf! To think i watched soccer last night as well and only slept at 12 lol. Needless to say, i guess it affected me in a little way. Other than that, i was quite surprised to see such a massive turnout. I didn't know the Army had so many regulars and NSFs, not including those that weren't present at the event. Thankfully the event wasn't all a sausage fest, there were still some brave females around in the sea of testosterone.

As for the run, can't really say it well too well. Although i think i had been doing ok during training, never really knew what it was like to run with so many people around, had to spend lots of time weaving around the traffic and at times it was so congested that it slowed to a walk. Was quite disappointed with myself as well because i think i underestimated the occasion and didn't do enough stretching as normal, which kinda resulted in me having cramps in my legs after around 13km mark, leaving me to hobble and walk to the last 500metres to make a slow jog. Due to those and the constant urge to run to the toilet but couldn't find one, i only came in like 2hours and 27 minutes. To think i was initially aiming to hit below 2 hours or below 2.15.

Anyway, even though it was really troublesoime to wake up so early to run and stuff, it was still a nice opportunity to see some of my friends again, met Donny and Kev, which was pretty cool after so long of not catching up due to work commitments. Hmm.. do i dare for a Stan Chart Marathon at the end of the year? Still thinking...or am i procrastinating?
