Succulents
Other than weekly watering, it’s been months since I spent time on taking care of the many succulents I planted at home. Went to the Flower Market after lunch and bought 3 new succulents and a tiny bonsai tree. Played with dirt for the entire afternoon, felt slightly more intimate with nature. It was 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Unscheduled Day-Off
Woken up at around 4am by the blasting sound of thunderstorm, I seriously haven’t felt a storm that loud and in such close proximity before, my half-awake mind was flashed with surreal images of bomb blasts and civilians running for their lives… Alarm went off, and I simply turned it off and continued sleeping as […]

Spring
Took a slow walk home after lunch, I noticed all the brightly colored flowers dotting everywhere in the neighborhood. Spring has arrived. The truth is, this past Winter didn’t really feel like Winter at all, temperature never dropped below 10 degrees. Can I blame this on Climate Change?

A Leisure Saturday
I was called out to drink with my friends after fellowship last night, one of them came back from Toronto to visit and will be leaving next week, so I was reluctant to reject. We had a little fun playing foosball, something I used to play often at one of my previous job, but can […]

10K Run
The sun was shining again today after nearly a whole week of gloomy weather. Went out for a run, the last time I ran was more than 2 weeks ago! I was rather out of shape, had to stop after running 5k. Was thinking about calling it quit and head home, but I was quite […]

Creative Mondays
Still enjoying my Creative Mondays. Besides my weekly painting class, I’ve spent a little time this afternoon making a candle decoration from materials found mostly in the studio. Temperature will be staying at around 15 degrees throughout this week, winter is definitely just around the corner. It is forecast that we’ll have a very cold […]

Sudden Cold Weather
The temperature suddenly dropped from 2x degrees to as low as 14 degrees in the last couple of days. I was reluctant to leave my warm bed and resulted in getting up slightly late this morning. With the relatively colder temperature and gloomy days, I was able to lock myself in the studio without worrying […]
