Ado run run run, ado run run

Haven't been running very diligently. At most, 2 times a week and only 5 - 6km at a time. And when I stop running for more than 3 days, I get that awful feeling. Like an itch deep under your skin you can't scratch. With rehearsals and all, it's quite difficult to maintain a running schedule. My sessions are always rushed, so I do interval training. Gets the heart working, but it won't prepare me for 21km next year. Must spend more time on going the distance, at a slower pace. Though time is not something I have much of these days.

Was so ambitious on Tuesday. Ran about 6km and felt so energised I joined my brother and Darren for badminton with their church group. Haven't played in years so my whole body is in pain right now, especially my right arm. *clicks on mouse* Owww....


Life in the city

Leo Burnett - was only working 3 days before a 6 days long break for Deepavali and Raya. So technically, I've only been working here about 10 days. Don't have my own desk or computer yet. They don't even have space for me. Am currently hijacking another guy's PC while he's on leave. When he gets back next week, I'll have to be a roaming orphan again. Can't really 'settle in' just yet.

Good thing I have Yueli, Ivan and Walter here, or I'd be absolutely miserable. The office is so huge it's probably impossible to get to know everyone. At least not in the same way I knew everyone back in DDBi (oh, how I miss them). The people in creative are nice and down to earth, so that's great. Food wise, it's usually a toss between Indian rice at Amidas (behind Wisma HLA), banana leaf (near the church), chapati and yong tau foo. As far as work is concerned, yet to sink my teeth into anything exciting... though I am working on an interesting pitch at the moment.


Oh, him again.

It's been about 3 weeks since I started going out with Darren. It's all good so far and I'm so very happy. Been seeing each other everyday, and it's amazing how there never seems to be a dull moment. Took me awhile to get used to the idea, but I finally felt I could tell people he's someone special in my life. Especially Jess (who knew us both since our Youth Fellowship days). Told the church gang at a gathering over a week ago and it was hilarious how Kenny freaked out. That face was priceless.

Darren's a gem with my folks. Gets along wonderfully with my woman, Li Yen (they gang up on me even). And makes my friends laugh. He's still trying to get through to my brother, though. Which will take some work. Wow, he's actually trying...

For someone who's always been thinking - I don't need anyone right now cos my life is so full as it is... this whole cloud 9 thing is scary. Cos now things won't be quite the same without him around. Not that I'm complaining.
