Running
It was already close to sunset when I started my run. Started late because I decided at the last minute to join my friends for lunch after church, enjoyed an afternoon of laughter and reminiscence of the Canadian days with some good old friends. Parents are currently on their cruise trip, so I didn’t need […]

Running
The last time I went running was back on Sept. 8th! Couldn’t push myself to finish an entire 10k without taking a break. Questioned why I kept forcing myself to run when there’s other more enjoyable exercise (soccer / badminton / bball) I can do. There are a few things I like about running – […]

Tai O Day Trip
Father was invited by friends to pay a visit to Tai O, my mother, sister, brother-in-law, and I decided to join. I was there mainly just to stroll around, take a little breather, and shoot some photos. Enjoyed the tranquility and took some lovely photos of the local flora and fauna.

Busy Weekend
I was just telling a friend on FB how I missed many hiking opportunities because I prefer to rest at home on weekends, but this weekend turned out to be one of my busiest in recent days. Woke up early yesterday for my friend’s wedding. Being a groomsman, it was an all day event. In […]

Running
Went for my weekly dose of endorphin, jogged for a full 10k in 67 minutes. I experimented with a new psychological exercise while jogging today, for each of the laps, I tried to recall the memories when I was at the age equal to the number of laps I had finished. I jogged for a […]

Running
It’s been more than a month since I last ran. Ran for about 6k, felt like I could run more, but didn’t want to push myself. The evening temperature is finally beginning to fall below 30 degrees, it’s about time to train up myself again. Doubt that I can actually run a half marathon as […]

Hawaii Trip – Day 4
Went to the Punaluu Black Sand Beach in the afternoon and tried capturing some powerful wave action with my camera. Then drove to the southernmost point of the island just before sunset. Spent quite some time there to capture the breathtaking view of the boundless Pacific Ocean. The drive back in the dark was a […]

Hawaii Trip – Day 3
Finished reading the camera manual, finally started exploring the island and practice what I’ve learnt about shutter speed, aperture, exposure,… Hit the beach (Hapuna Beach) in the afternoon. Then decided to get to the Northernmost point of the island before sunset, but drove passed it without knowing. Accidentally ended up at the Pololu Valley Lookout, […]

Running
Sometimes I liken running to shooting free-throws – it’s the same repetitive motion and the height and distance from the hoop is pretty much constant, but even though you’ve practiced a million times, the percentage made just can’t seem to improve much. I ran 10k this afternoon, just barely made it through, and the time […]

Running
Debated about running in the hot weather, finally decided to do an evening run after the sun was set. I wasn’t striving to break any record, but instead I just didn’t want my muscles to get lazy and forget what it feels like to run. Ran 10k in 64 minutes, not at all a satisfactory […]
