I have been awaaaaaaayyyyyy. Not entirely because I have been online with FBs and my emails but I just haven’t gotten the time to blog and update about what's happening around this person's life.
Yes, I went and return from Beijing in one piece despite being frozen at minus 14. That will take an entire long post {which I have decided to account the time spent there}. It has been a fabulous trip despite it's short tenure and I must say, of all the people in this world, I surprise myself with enjoying Beijing which I never knew I could. I am blushing. That is why people always say, never say never. Well, this sure is.
I have been back to work as well on Monday and today, I started my training sojourn again to be "very" ready for 2010 races. I'm feeling elated and excited over this and I pray very hard that these knees would not give way in between the trainings and I would safely complete at least 2 half marathons this year, of course my in betweens of 10km races are merely condiments to the halfs I am eyeing. So, here shall be the beginnings of early mornings training of running, walking, cycling and what nots.
In fact, I am feeling great despite having not run for 2 long weeks. I ran a good 5k and did not feel a single tinge of fatigue or have any issue of gasping for air. I did the pathetic walks and climbing up the Great Wall between thse 2 missing weeks. So as far as I am concerned, that doesn't account to exercise at all. Merely 'moving about.' But I still faired well in my run today… yay!
This Sunday would also be another turn of my life because finally, Janie, Evonne, Jeanie and I would be starting our tennis lessons. I know. Laugh. I don't know how Roger (the coach) would take us in but I sure hope everyone would be gung ho enough to stick till the end which allow us to carry a decent game of tennis between the 4 of us and the rest of the population of tennis players.
I'm super excited.
In between these berserk events, I managed to finish reading 2 books. Believe me, I completed these 2 awesome books which totals to a good 600++ pages of paper within a span of 1.5 weeks. I amazed myself. But of course, these readings were hardcore readings. I was reading between airports, in airplanes, before every wink or snooze, in salons and at every waking hour that doesn't require my attention. For a good 400++ pager, I completed within 5 days. I amazed me because despite all the movements and actions, here I am, still holding on to that peace in mind to read word for word despite it all.
But much has to be added that the books were very good too. They did their justice and deserve my unrelentless attention and focus. They were THAT good. Especially, The Thirteenth Tale. I believe it would be every insane bookworms' ideal piece. I have to admit, I have not had such a good read for a long time.
And for these, it has spurred my reading appetite again, of a sudden, I am ferocious and hungry for books, books and books. And I have to thank this piece to my cousin brother who works now for Silverfish while he is on a break.
At the same time, I am not looking forward to attend James' wedding dinner this Saturday. Firstly, it has been attributed to the fact that Eugene will not be with me. Secondly, that Fiona may not be there as well. Thirdly, I would be meeting my 1st ex. I dread. I mean, this is one ex I dread meeting because for all that has happened, some people just don't seemed to be able to get over things and still has this high inclination to prove that I have miss a good fish {if that is how he wish to have it thought, I would anytime give him that thought because I am so, so, so over this relationship we had some 20 years ago} *Gawk*
Well.. So much I could squeeze for now.
