my body is in recovery mode after the NewBalance Run i think. been eating a lot, sleep a lot. though symptoms the same as clinical depression. though i am sure its not a relapse. haha. my right foot is aching now. if it goes on, i will have to bandage it up. i am afraid it could be the old injury. oh yeah... brings me to another story.

i was walking in town. two guys were beside me, one playing PSP and talking. apparently good friends. at the junction beside Paragon, the PSP guy didn't observe properly and started to cross the road, only to be pulled by the other. i was like.. Marcus, did you see that? haha... i only smiled and looked at the stars in the night sky.

the run itself was really a challenge especially when it comes to running on the dirt trail. the ground was not really dry, it was bumpy, there were twigs sticking out here and there, pot holes, mud. kinda of fun too, until we hit the road. then the seaside. pretty cool to run on the sands. then the worse of all, the last 3km of the 10km. a long stretch of road! piangz! i was cursing under my breath when i saw the long stretch! all in all, i simply had to walk. cannot last running after 6km.

anyways, i was pleasant surprised that i clocked in a faster timing compared to Adidas Sundown. i clocked in a Nett Time of 1:00:52s if only i held on longer, i would have gone below 60 minutes... haha. but its ok. next time. must train more. haha.

the holding area was nice. air-conditioned. the events following the run was cool. great singing talents and a comedian. lucky draw.. hmm i didn't win anything of course. hahahaha

now to re-charge and back to gym. i have slightly more than a month to rebuild.

can't wait to fly next week... at the airport by 6:30am! yikes!

got an email.. Rasa Sentosa having a promotion. it kinda brought back the time when we were planning our staycation. playing beach volleyball and all... especially the running my hands through your hair part...

somehow tempting, but wrong timing!

the alarm in my head is starting to ring again. been going home after work and sleep the whole night through. the last time i went through this, it went on for a few weeks before i realised what i was going through. this is definitely not going to happen again! no way! i better get myself out before i fall into a relapse.

NewBalance Real Run this weekend, better continue with my training. oh damn... my shoe is splitting. perfect timing huh! everything is falling apart. i can't run with new shoes! just have to pray that my Nike can last through the 10km. no chest pains today... good sign...

Nidu's wedding is finally over. it was meant to be smooth sailing until the elements came. i was referring to the dark clouds which was followed by thunder, lightning and rain. thank goodness everyone reacted just before the rain. the tables and chairs were all covered. and the solemnization was moved to a holding room. then the solemnizer was caught in a jam and was late. just about 10 minutes so not too bad. the ceremony went smoothly with minor changes. the cake-cutting and champagne and all. just as all these ended, the rain stopped. showers of blessings... the guests were then led back to the poolside for dinner. phew.. the food was great. the wedding cake! fantastic! it was a real two-tier brownie cake. the icing was not too sweet. everything balanced out. lovely taste. i never liked the fake ones.. haha... and Nidu got 'Chocolate n Spice' muffins for the guests as favors. and i was glad he did. who can go wrong with Singapore's best muffins....

my re-treat at Oriental was fantastic. the level of service was great. the room was awesome. ceiling to floor window. as usual, i got a free upgrade due to the high traffic. the vanity and bathroom was nicely and tastefully decorated. breakfast was lovely. had an easy time falling asleep on the bed too. and better still, the temperature in the room can be adjusted by a digital remote!

went for Paintball this morning. it was great! was kinda lost initially when i drove down. mistook the Country Club in the area. got hit four times and man it is painful. needless to say, i have gotten myself a few bruises. one on my right tricep, one on my right inner thigh and one on my stomach. the fourth one was on the helmet so no casualty there. after the fun, we adjourned to Casuarina Curry for prata! lovely..... pics in my album. if its not there, then its in the process of being uploaded.

and once again, i am left hanging. G, if you are reading this, you are leaving me like how you were left by B. hanging... onto nothing... i am not blaming you for anything... i just wanna know... thats all... life's like that so you say... so it seems.. so it seems.. you know what you want but your actions are something else.

i was listening to the soundtrack of 'Shooting Stars', the local drama starring the first batch of Singapore Idol. there are two songs in there that i kinda connect with right now. one is 'Paper' sang by Daphne Khoo. the other one, that i really love is 'There With You' sang by Sylvester Sim.

am thinking on the overseas posting opportunity... a few days left for me to contemplate.
