Well well well, I had no idea how fast time just flew away in just a snap. Over 3 months since my last post? And to see that Katy Perry in my last two post?
3 months. Regularly, when speaking of time, all we can talk about is the past. So let me do a little recall here. But I have to admit, I've been suffering from short term memory lost since few months back so some stuff I might have just missed it. Drop me a line to refresh my memory!
It all started with the return of an old friend. It always amazes me how people have changed over the years of absence or years of dream chasing. You see them back from a fall, healed a broken heart, and last but not least a lot wiser. We shared a lot over the past months and to see how well her life is and a little hint of how things are rolling in for her, I couldn't be happier. I'm sure the rest of the gang will agree with me. Having her back in our lives have made our bonds tighter and really had me gained few perspective and gone through sights and sounds I would not believed I've lived through.
1. Running a marathon.
I've known to some as the laziest person alive when it comes to sports. While I have passion in volleyball, ten pin bowling, badminton and football/futsal, if I can come up with an excuse, I'm out.
While struggling aimlessly trying to have a spot in the world, this friend, were so determined to run a marathon. First thing in my head: "Yeah right..." Don't get me wrong but among our circle, she's not known to be the one who would take up sports. Then again, not many of us do. HAHA. But seeing her effort and determination during training, I was proven wrong.
We did the poorly organized Stan Chart KL Marathon back in late June and she just went on and on and on while I was "hitting the wall" (term used in running a marathon - condition when you run out of carb for fuel in your body). We did a half marathon (22++ km) and she finished 20 (or was it 30 minutes) ahead of me. I ate my words and despite all the "Eh..why you lose to her one?" I can't hide the fact that she just done me proud.
After the Half Marathon, we signed up for our second run back in July; the Siemens Run. The run was a fun one especially towards the end. This was my second marathon event but my first with a proper pair of running shoes. It did wonders! So, if you're planning to run, do get one running shoes! I've signed up for Full Marathon (42km) for the Stan Chart Singapore Marathon which will take place in Dec 6th 2009. Anyone wanna join? Hehe
2. Boozed
Been drinking alot. Parties, events, tastings, meetings and normal chill out sessions. Well, at least friends have been made and existing bonds tighter! Had my debut in gettting drunk (in a non drivable state but still concious) thanks to few concotions of bacardi and whisky and other stuff I can't remember right now. Has a better tolerant to those and also vodka(yummy). Moving on!
3. Got a car
This happened waaaaay back in April. Bought my first car with involvement of my first love and having her as my first passenger. Neat eh? Nothing to shout about the car but it's from the world's No. 1 carmaker, a Toyota Vios.
4. My Boss
Nothing big but this was a breakthrough. Was getting sick and tired of some of the workload coming in from the team. I slammed the table, pushed all papers and stuff out of my desk, and yelled. No not so dramatic but I went over to his place and said "Boss, you have a minute? Can I talk to you for a sec? Can we do it in the conference room?" I bet I gave him a scare at that moment. Problem found, problem faced, problem solved (not really).
5. Gatherings
Met up with a few groups of people I'm fond of other than the usual partners in crimes. Well, most of them are from MMU. Cheers people, keep em coming!
I'll stop writing here as I need to be awake early. Well, that's just an excuse for me trying not to reveal too much of my personal life on the net. But anyway, for those who tweet, get me on "carpethair".
Adios amigos. Play safe and most of all, play hard! Cheers.
