Go me!

 Work work work work work, run run run run run, practice practice practice practice practice, play.

Nope, life isn’t sad when you do things you love.

Someone asked me over dinner on Sat whether I get tired. Very tired, but its all very worthwhile. Life is short.

Late for my party…

Two nights ago, I dreamt that I organized a huge Chinese New Year Party at my house and…

I overslept at my grandmother’s house and arrived at my own party late, when all my friends had made themselves comfortable in my basement. And I felt totally left out as everyone was talking to each other.

Later on, Lennel and I stole red napkins from Ikea for the party.

And I woke up really relieved that I wasn’t really late for my own party.

Thanks to the meticulous care of the secretary, my Pot of Purple has bloomed in time for Chinese New Year!

Culled

Following from thoughts of culling… officially culled.

I’m not really the type to not talk to someone ever again, but at least for an unspecified period of time, my hanging out with you, you, you and you shall be limited, and hopefully avoided.

It could very well be temporarily, until my pettiness passes, but I need the emotional distance.

Fashion Disaster: Special Edition

This is a special edition because the it does not feature me (photo-whoring) in any way, and boy, am I glad it doesn’t. Look what I spotted at an MRT station today! In the first picture, the guy behind was wearing long, green skinny jeans.

Fashion Disaster: The Other Pretty Flowers Tee

I said I’d find the other pretty flowers tee , and I did!

11km

At 6:30am, I dragged (and I mean, really draggggged) my ass to Upper Pierce Reservoir… and today, I ran 11km! Both Upper and Lower Pierce Reservoirs at a shot. It felt fantabulous, and I definitely would have gone on if I didn’t have such a busy day ahead.

I love running!

Nevertheless, it was one of the freakiest runs I’ve ever had…for reasons unknown to me, the street lights were all switched off at 6:30am…and the reservoir is deep in, away from the main road. Imagine running among the path shrouded with trees, under the dark sky, with no lights! I kept thinking of newsflashes of women joggers getting raped/murdered/robbed.

There’re normally many uncles already on their way out of the reservoir when I begin running… but there were no uncles in sight today! Where did the uncles go when I needed them most?

The Silver Lining

Lately, certain events have caused me to cast doubt upon the people around me. Some very close, and very dear – who yet judge, betray, hurt, remain fair-weathered friends.

I spent quite some nights thinking about it, how I should judge, and what I should do.

But hey, there’s always a silver lining behind the clouds- sometimes, your few real friends are sufficient to comfort, and make you smile.

There was this friend whom I kind of had a crush on for a short while, when we started becoming closer. He knew it, and it remained pretty much one-sided. Nevertheless, it never came in between our friendship- how I felt, and how he knew. And today, more than a year on… sms-es, we were talking about the silliness of it, laughing at it-

Something probably very awkward and better left unmentioned to most. But I like it that way- I love how we can talk about anything openly, laugh freely with each other, and never let anything come in between the fact that we are good friends.

It was a tiring, moody day, but that really lifted my spirits. =)
