Life has not been as smooth sailing as I had hoped it to be, and things are not in the best of situations.
I still can't get some issues out of my head.
I may not show it openly but I have been feeling a bit down and disappointed at how some things have transpired.
One can't help but compare and reflect on whether past decisions are wise and best.
There is always a tendency to work out hypothetical situations and compare the "what ifs" against the "what is"...
I sense a vicious cycle of digression and self-blame... Will need to quickly snap out of this.
End of year summary coming up in next entry... 2006 seems like a much better year for me..

Great Show!
大哥是对的!!抢钱,抢粮,抢娘们!!
人无信便是畜生!!
安心上路!!
纳投名状,兄弟结义
生死相托,吉凶相救
富祸相依,患难相扶
凡外人乱我兄弟者,视投名状,必杀之
凡兄弟乱我兄弟者,视投名状,必杀之

Disappointed, but oh well...
A bit disappointed, but I'm not in a position to make noise.
Can't help it but sometimes I wonder if I had made the right decisions...
Dun ask me what happened.
I just want to talk to myself on this blog.
Looking forward to a weekend of sports again to drown out those negative thoughts...

Don't be too nice to everyone (2)...
Seems like I don't really learn from mistakes sometimes...
I think I just have found the 2nd CPT Quek in my life...
These people just simply have a 8-character clash with me.
For no reason (or maybe they dun like my face), they will see any simple innocuous banter as the most malicious rumour-mongering session.
Not to dwell too much into details.
Just a simple analogy on what had transpired:
I think the last time I have heard "My friend is XX... NOT YOU..." was way back in primary school.
I'm amazed how 30+ years old adults can say something like this...
Remember: Only be nice to those who deserve it.

Just a simple analogy on what had transpired:
- Fren A, saw his fren B (an acquaintance to you) buying mocha at Starbucks, and pointed it out to you.
- You tell Fren C (whom is a good fren of B) that you saw B at Starbucks buying mocha.
- C chats with B and asks if the mocha at Starbucks is good, letting B know in the process that you told him that you saw B there.
- B gets mad and scolds you for being so busybody and deliberately checking out his private activities, and starts to send multiple emails to you and C to declare that B is C's fren, but NOT your fren, and proceeds to put weird tags on his msn declaring he is NOT your fren.
- Fren D, E, F sees it on msn and everyone asks you what happened...
How would you feel?

Marathon
Finished my 5th marathon on Sunday.
Broke through the 4.30hr international standard and achieved 4.15hr this year.
Pretty good results considering this is about roughly 25min improvement from last year's timing.
But I have to admit that I was quite lazy in this year's run.
Always had the lazy mindset of holding back a bit so that it will be easier for me to break the record again the next year. (I did the same thing last year)
I was quite surprised at my speed that I have managed to clock up to around 11kmh for the first 33km, which subsequently ended up in me walking for most of the later part since I will break the 4.30hr even by walking for the rest of the journey.
The good thing about this year's run for me is that I have finally felt my breakthrough in the legendary invisible wall. My legs used to give way at around 30+km in the past runs, but I'm feeling ok this year, and could have ran all the way to the end without walking (if not for being lazy).
So probably next year I'll be expecting to clear the 4hr mark, which is easily achievable if I can hit somewhere near this year's performance.
Will post some stuff on my HK trip later.
Need to catch up with work first..

Satisfying weekend (32 days to HK!!)
Had a pretty satisfying weekend, doing most of my favourite stuff:
Friday - Had High-Tea with colleagues at Equinox (great scenery but average food), followed by kBox! (getting more and more confirmation on the reincarnation of Wang Jie..)
Saturday - Was supposed to go for our weekly marathon training with WC in the morning, but he was indisposable, so we cancelled this week's training, and I slept thru the morning. Went for soccer match in the late afternoon. (see later para)
Sunday - Basketball as usual, but slightly different this time as we were invited to a full court challenge by the local kids at our home court (instead of the usual half court), and the guys rose to the occasion and took up the challenge. Not a pretty match, but at least it was a comfortable win without us having to resort to cheap tricks that the opposition was trying. I could comfortably score without having to over exert myself, especially when i was still recovering from the previous day's fatigue.
Football
My colleagues have formed a football team and joined in a mini "international" league with some other locally formed teams. Will be playing quite a fair bit on the weekends over the next few months. Its a pretty interesting league, and we have a website for the league as well, check it out: http://www.efleague.com.sg/evfl/index.htm
