recently...

I realised I have not blogged for ages. I think there are things happening in my life, and ... not that there is nothing to blog about. Sometimes, I find myself not able to blog at all. Perhaps I'm never really good with expressing in words. Anyway, from my last entry, I'm still reading the same book. Anyone who knows that I read, knows I read really slowly. Haha!! Even though I took a shorter time to read short stories, they tend to take up more of my time after that because I spend time thinking about them. So yah, still at the same book!


Keeping Fit ... I've been keeping myself active except for some lazy mornings when my bed is still the best place to be at. A couple of us took part in this year's Shape Run and yes, we all did the whole distance. It was quite fun! 5km is the furtherst i've ever ran. Anymore runs ahead for me? I guess so. It takes quite a while to get myself to be actually interested in running, and finally now, able to make that distance. I've never really enjoyed it honestly the past decades back in school. Slowly, with influence of a jog-a-holic friend =P , and the ability to focus my mind on just moving my legs and breathing, I actually start to find enjoyment in it. Hence, more runs ahead for sure. Besides jogging, I've been doin yoga once a week. I wish I have more time to do like 2 or even 3 times a week. I left the studio feeling totally rejuvenated and fresh after every session. The best thing of all these is I do not fall asleep at work. haha!



Others ... Have I mentioned that I'm actually singing in a choir now? I was supposed to help choreograph some dance moves. However, no more dance moves andWell, hmm... wonder how long this will last because it is not easy. Every practice drained me of energy mentally and physically. But the people in the choir are so warm, friendly, sincere and helpful. I feel rather at ease even though I do not speak for most of the time when I am there. The only time I really open my mouth is to sing. The more I sing, of course, I can feel myself improving though I'm still grasping the vocal techniques. 1 more month to the big day for us all, and hopefully, we will do a decent job.



Work... Work has its ups and downs... On days that I cruise along, I have peace at work, no phonecalls, just catching up on my work to meet deadlines I set for myself. On rough days, I can totally go crazy with clients, engineers, phonecalls, emails, letters, drawings, design, complaints etc. There are days I wonder how many more years will I stay in this field. Yet somehow, something about this job makes me wanna be in this profession for my entire working life. It is not easy... even though at times, there are people who do not really understand what this field is all about, tend to think that it is not such a difficult job...




... did this post many days ago. Yesterday, we finally got our timing for Shape Run!
5km, 37.41min
For myself, that is a record timing and record distance. haha!
