Finally managed to reach the pitstop

Finally my long awaited holiday is here...
I'm gonna go crazy with my work here if I don't take a break soon.
Too many issues, fire fighting, planning, reports to do.

Will take a good 2 weeks break, dump everything to the rest, and let them carry my load!
especially after I have been carrying so many things for the past 1 year!

Judgement day is near, but I have already written my verdict on standby for presentation...

Depressed

How did I manage to tahan for so long... ...
Is this a show of determination (on the wane) or failure to plan in advance?
Haiz.. time to slow things down, observe, plan and really execute.

Shouldn't make anymore drastic executions like what I used to do in the past.

Fires irregardless of how big and extensive it is, will still eventually stop burning by intervention or by dying out.

20th Century Boys

Caught this show at Marina Square with dear today.

Pretty neat show with great story telling skills by the director.

I totally love the way how the scene goes back to the past frequently to show some really retro stuff when the lead actor tries to recall some old memories.

This is part 1 of a Triology. I'm hooked!

Civilization Revolution

Got to play this on dear's DS, being a sucker for Sid Meier's civilization series games, I blew a good part of my weekend completing the game 2 times, with my current game saved at a late winning stage on the deity level. It's a pretty fast and watered down version of the full civ game, good for a short and fast game (complete within 5hrs) to relieve some pent-up craving for this game. But I have returned the DS to dear, just in case I spend too much time playing instead of catching up with the much needed sleep.

It has been 9 months. I have already got used to life without Ah Di, but it will never be the same again. I still won't consider keeping another dog in the near future, since there is no way he can be replaced, and the other factor being I'm too busy and it won't be good or fair if I keep a dog at home but don't have enough time for it.

2 more weeks to Vietnam trip!

Reminds me of Ah Di again...

Focus Focus

Been unable to focus at work these 2 days. Probably (and hopefully) its only because of my mood swings. Must focus... time is near...

Missed my morning run again on Saturday but made it up on Sunday with a new power run with the help of dear. Running after her while she cycles definitely helps to bring up the motivation to run faster and further, but this will be more effective for building up my speed and strength rather than a topical training for marathon itself.
Good anyway since the annual $400 will soon be up for grabs again.
I'll need to fine tune this training methodology with dear to convert it to specific marathon training sessions.

Is the weather getting colder these days? Or am I falling sick?

Is it a good month?

Apparently so, going by the internal mail.

Got the recognition as the saviour for the month, but there is no actual rewards since my starting point was pulled wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back.

All the tilling and plowing only served to cover up the hole, with no mounds built.

I haven even went for a single reservist, but gastric pain is already here for 2nd high key. Must watch the stress levels and sleep more... Just the perfect timing to make some changes in conjunction with the 10 weeks mark from marathon. Live healthy and exercise like no tomorrow.

I'm turning into an emo kid... though I'm not physically alone, somehow I feel more lonely mentally these days. Perhaps its the stress and many lonely late working nights getting to me. Or I guess its more because of Ah Di not being with me physically, to bug me for walks. Reading lolcat and loldog does provide some relief though. Here is one of my favourite:
