Haha it seems that my blog is now only updated once per week. Have been busy at work in camp on weekdays as usual.

Spent my Friday evening drinking with my father and another new friend of him. She is also from China, like many of his friends. But unless the rest, she is almost my age and is holding a respectable job in selling noodles, unlike those who are holding questionable jobs. So I was able to interact with her much better than other friends of my father. The drinking session last long through the night, and I only remembered boarding the taxi back home at around 4am, and I slept throughout the journey.

I watched "Bolt" in digital 3D format at Eng Wah Cinema on Sat with a friend. It's my first time watching a movie in digital 3D format, and I got to say that I truly enjoyed the effects. Haha I am now looking forward in watching another movie in a similar format.

And then we proceeded to SITEX for a shopping session. But as I was still considering about a new desktop, I didn't actually prepare to buy it. And thus she did all her shopping on sat, I decided to go back again on Sunday, when I bumped into Grace who didn't realize that I was behind her for like 10 mins. Haha.

And so after some consideration, I decided to ditch my 256MB RAM laptop for a 4GB RAM desktop. I brought a HP Pavilion Elite PC m9398d with HP 22" LCD Display at 1799 dollars after a discount of 200 dollars. While my 4 years old laptop is still usable, it's very slow liao and I cannot use many new applications with it, given its RAM. And more often or not, it would hang for a few seconds or minutes every now and then. And anyway I am using my laptop at home and for long hours, a desktop would better fill the bill. So I think the purchase is worthwhile, but it's still heart pain, I am not used to be spending $$$ like that as I am seriously a thrifty person.

SCSM is round the corner. It's going to be my 2nd half marathon. I have very little ambition but just to improve on previous timing, which I think it is going to be quite a bonus as I am again undertrained for the event. The only thing that I think will motivate me run faster that day is that I will be doning the attire sponsored by Adidas with my tagline printed on the back. I cannot exactly remember the story that I have submitted, but it's something like the doctors discouraged me from running after my injuries, but i keep running as a passion. My tagline should be something like my blog heading, "Anyone can run, ..............". I remembered that I got to cut it short due to word limits.

But since that I won the Adidias Inspirator Contest, I wouldn't be able to don the new SGRunners attire on that day. I ordered XL because intially they were saying the sizing is simliar to the Saucony Passion Run as the L Size is quite tight for me back then. I decided to order a XL for the SGRunners one, who knows that it turn out to be a bit bigger. So hahaha too bad loh. But I think it's alright lah, it's something like a basketball jersey. =P

Relationship. Haha. I seldom blog about this nowadays because I respect privacy. It seems to me that I am making the same old mistake again. There are signs that I am only a very good friend, brother. And not the one that I think it is. While there are encouraging signs of her asking me out, but there are also the discouraging signs which is superb obvious, "dun carry the bag for me, later other people misunderstand you as my someone." I think that the statement sums it all up. I was hoping for a miracle but it's time for me to wake up from my dream.

Work I am going to formally take over in the coming week. So let the stress begin. Me out for the weekend.
