New Year’s Resolutions
It’s mid-Feb and I’ve finally found the time to do a little tidying up of my studio’s desktop and then spend some quiet time planning for the new year ahead. Made some new year’s resolutions (wishes), some work related while the rest are more personal. Most of the resolutions are things I’ve been wanting to do for […]

2nd Half-Marathon Completed!
Completed my 2nd half-marathon with an improvement of ~15 mins (unofficially) compared to last year! Thankful. Building upon experience from last year, this year’s run seemed more pleasurable and less exhaustive, it felt like I can run an extra 1 or 2k after passing the finish line! Perhaps I can attempt to run a full marathon […]

Running
Managed to complete my longest running practice (~16.5k) before the upcoming half-marathon on Sunday. Logged in my time and distance and did some rough estimations using my running records. Comparing with last year, my accumulated practice run in terms of distance is ~20km less this year, but my average pace is considerably faster (improved ~0.3m/s). […]

Running
After going to a seminar last weekend and learning a little bit about the science of long run, I slightly adjusted my running practices. I went for a practice on Monday and Wednesday and ran at a slightly quicker pace for a shorter distance (~6k). And after resting a couple of days, I did a practice […]

Keep Your Legs Moving…
The 10k streetathon last Sunday was a bit of a disappointment, poor planning and preparation of the organiser had many runners including me stop way too often for way too long along the way. Hot weather and street side air pollution were a couple of other disappointing aspects of the run. Perhaps due to adequate practice, […]

Life Back to Normal
My sister and 2 nieces ended their vacation and flew back to Canada yesterday, and my life is slowly returning back to normal. Went for a run this morning. Without imposing any time limit, I ran slowly and completed about 12k, it’s my first run that’s over 10k since starting my practice in November.

Sketchbooks Re-stocked!
Recently started a new sketchbook after taking 6 good months of calligraphy practice/sketching/life-drawing/note-taking to fill up the old one. Really loved the size, volume, quality, and pricing of this economy notebook/sketchbook, I even made a custom pulp cover for it. The sketchbook must be very popular because they were all out of stock in almost all the […]

Sister and Nieces in Town
My sister and 2 nieces from Toronto had been back for about a week, I had been spending more time with them and less time doing work (always thankful for a flexible work schedule). But it’s December already, and I’m starting to procrastinate on the many things I wish to finish before the end of 2016! […]
