Haruki Murakami is one of Ah Seng's favourite author, so I wanted to read for myself and see what's the "fuss" all about. Initially Ah Seng lent me the short "stories" and I remember reading one or two stories and I think what strikes me most is the simplicity of the subject matter. It's something so common that happens around us that we usually do not give it a second thought. But when you read it, you think "hey, I know what's he is talking about..."

But just like most of the books I read...I usually read only halfway... (haha)

So my new quest is Murakami's "What I Talk about When I Talk about Running".
I thought this book would be an interesting read since I think I do qualify as a "runner" having spent most of my school days training and competing in running events. I'm just a couple of pages into it and all I have to say "so far so good".

Oh just want to do abit of the "blogging-on-my-mundane-life-events-which-usually-includes-some-random-meaningless-photos"....

My new toy!!
Fuji Instanx Mini7S
I love instant photos!! Uselessly small but it's cool because it's INSTANT



My Polar Heart Rate monitor that I bought during Sundown Marathon's roadshow
Been contemplating to get one for a long time...
I think I need something to inject some fun to my runs
Maybe I will write more about it when I learn how to use it



Oh ya, my first Sundown Marathon!!
Yay!! I did it again!!
But their organization for this event is probably the worst I had to go through!
The only redeeming point is it's Sun Down...no sun
I want to join standard chartered but they close the early bird on it's last day!!
Dammit!! I have to pay $75 now argh

But I think doing 2 marathons in a year is something new I can achieve for 2010!!

Bring it on!!!

Friend...

Well, I was clearing my drawer (like I always am) and I came across this little piggy bookmark with the following words:

知己

朋友无需多
能让你珍惜的
即使是一位
也是幸福的

When I was younger, friends are very important to me. My life revolves around friends then it became boyfriend and myself. Does people in general grew to be more selfish as we start to grow up?

Looking back at the friendship I had and is still having.... it's amazing how many people has cross path with me. People I met in school, in church, in sports, at work and even online. Once in a while, I take time to go through my old photos, reminiscing the good times I've share with these people.

But she's always the one who will pop into my mind and talking about what we've done will almost always bring tears to my eyes. Knowing her make me a 幸福 person as our friendship is definitely one I will treasure and always hold dear to my heart.

It is true that life goes on without you but I think my life changed the moment you left.
Watching shows with good friends being there to comfort each other and having fun together always make sad and jealous =(

And now I have to grow old and grow fat by myself -_-"
