I guess it's still the season for waiting for things to happen.  Everything's pretty uneventful, life being centred around work and gym.  Bodypump does keep one pretty fit.  Managed to do 5 km in 26 mins 50 secs on the hamster track the other day, just off my record.  Fortunately, the monotony was broken by decent food opportunities last week - ( Read more... )

It's been 3 months since I fell into a routine of a quiet life of work, going to the gym, and basically being a home body, whilst waiting and trusting on God for something to happen that would transform (slowly or swiftly - no preference) this humdrum existence.  Boring and tedious, some may say, but at least what I do does not complicate matters, ( Read more... )

Came across this little ditty which I thought was pretty good:

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smell awful;
You might as well live.

February so far has been pretty quiet and uneventful, and I have seemed to have fallen into a pattern of going to work and spending evenings in the gym, with not much weekend social activity to speak of.  Have become a bit of a Bodypump addict (4 times last week - a bit OTT, perhaps?) and yesterday's Bodypump session followed by Body Balance pretty ( Read more... )

Had tea with willqaf on Thursday evening at the NTUC Centre off Shenton Way at the Cheers Cafe in the Basement.  At that time (5pm), there was hardly anything available (both the in-house Delifrance and the Dim Sum offerings were almost nil).  Purchased one of the 2 remaining fried poh piah and asked for a Milo - was told they don't do Milo (I mean, duh ( Read more... )

I heard a very good sermon in church today.  It was timely for the season, about achieving spritual prosperity, and God's plan for our lives.  What also touched me was the reminder that I have been made whole in Jesus, and that his acceptance of me of who I am is all that matters.  I feel that I am pretty reliant on what other people think of me, ( Read more... )

Ran 10 km yesterday - timing was 1 hour and 2 seconds - just missed breaking the 1 hour barrier - I will get there someday .....

Ended up in Chin Huat with willqaf.  Had chilli crab (huge one - and fresh), steamed prawns with beer, and scallops fried in XO sauce with brocolli.  Completely stuffed .......

Now back at home, preparing for bed .......

Back from gym ..... did the BodyPump class, and thereafter jogged 5km on the hammie track - decent timing of 27 mins 54 secs .....

And its starting to rain.  Supposed to go to Pu Tien, but given the horrendous parking situation there, I don't fancy walking long distance from where the car is parked to the restaurant in the wet ....

Been a busy day so far... running around ( Read more... )
