Running
Missed my weekly running session for the past weekend due to friends’ gatherings, the running bug was itching, so I went for an early evening jog tonight. Ran 10k, for some reason, breathing seemed particularly difficult and I seemed to be a bit more tired than usual tonight. It seemed like an appropriate time to […]
Mother Hospitalized
Mother injured her spine falling off a chair, she was trying to put away some of my winter clothes. The first thing that came up my mind was to scold at her for I’ve told her a million times that I’m capable of tidying up my own rooms. Thank God that I was able to […]
A Real Studio?!
I don’t remember for how long and to how many people I’ve been saying that I wanted to rent an industrial unit as a studio/workshop to do some messy work (e.g. painting, soldering, woodworking,…), and I may have just found one today, and possibly for $0 rent too! It just so happens that my family […]
34th Birthday
I’m one of those people who likes to hide his birthday on FB, not that I’m afraid of revealing my age, I just don’t really think that’s something important. After all, I don’t remember having read anything about a birthday celebration in the bible. Having said that, I was a bit anxious last night to […]
Uncle’s Operation
Uncle had an operation tonight to have some of his liver’s cancerous tissues removed, I joined my sister to visit him at the hospital. We arrived at around 8pm, but the operation wasn’t finished until ~10pm (it was a ~5-hour operation). During the 2-hour wait outside the operation room, I silently observed many patients being […]
Running
It’s been more than 3 weeks since I last jogged, this is partly due to the rainy season and mainly due to my laziness. I could hardly keep up with my breathing and my mind was blank and couldn’t keep a thought going. Ended up with one of my poorest run ever – 10 km […]
Mother’s Day
Spent a little time on this Mother’s Day weekend to tend my “farm” at home. Delivered some baby succulents and planted them as a living ornamental gift for my friends’ house-warming present. The Mother’s Day gift I made for my mother last year has grown quite a lot over the year, quite amazing. This is […]
Running & Self-Confidence
Went running this evening before the forecasted rainy days hit the city tomorrow. Was planning to run 10k, but was messaged by my friend about a badminton court being booked for tomorrow, so I just ran ~6k. The truth is, I probably couldn’t finish 10k even if I tried, a bit out of shape and […]
Running (Restarted)
It was more than 2 months ago since I last ran, had to rest 2 times before completing a 10k run this evening, really exhausted now. I really wanted to give up when I was resting the first time, I thought about my sister-in-law’s father who suffered from an heart-attack during soccer game a few […]
Ready For Work!
Didn’t actually do a lot of work as I planned this week, I can possibly list a few excuses – public holidays on Mon. and Thu., badminton and soccer games on Tue. and Wed. respectively,… But they’re really nothing but excuses, and I had been giving myself way too many excuses, it’s really time to […]
