"don't know when I will be back again..oh babe I have to go.."
Okok, enough of feeling sorry for myself..there will be no updates after tomorrow as I would be going Down Under for three weeks. There would be no handphone reception at the place I am going to, so don't bother to call me or SMS me.
If you want to give me my birthday presents, you can give it to me after I am back up here. In case you are still wondering what to get me for my birthday, how about a Mont Blanc Starwalker Fountain Pen? Or a pair of Oakley M-frame Hybrid S shades?
Haha, told you guys I have expensive tastes...ok lah, a simple Happy Birthday will suffice...hehe..till then..take care!!

The biggest regret of my life..
I have done my part by telling her how I feel. Not through the phone, sms or even face-to-face, but through the email..isn't that wonderful?
I don't know whether we are meant to be or not meant to be, all I know is that I do not want to go overseas with any regrets. The biggest regret in my life was not to let her know how I felt about her, that she is the ONE.
If only she can love me for one second, I will make that second last a lifetime..
If only she knew that she meant the world to me..
If only I had told her that when we were younger, she would not had to suffer so much..

What I learn from long distance running
is like running a marathon. Everyone is running their own race, with the aim to complete rather than compete.
Running a marathon requires discipline and planning, ethics which are applicable in our everyday life and work. Discipline; who would want to wake up early on Saturday or Sunday morning and pound the tarmac when you can sleep in after a long night of drinking? I can tell you, every weekend when I wake up to run, I would ask myself; "Why am I doing all this?"
But it can be pretty rewarding when you finish the run, especially since you have achieved something which only a few have done before. Now I can really say I have ran the length of ECP, not once, but twice. *Yey*
Planning; Running a marathon does not mean you run all the way. Instead, it takes planning, knowing how much to run, when to stop to rest the muscles and remove the toxins built-up in the muscle. To run 5 mins and walk 3 mins, it also requires discipline, because at the onset of the run, you are full of energy and will tend to run at a faster pace. But, down the road, heat cramps will set in due to a lack of salt, your legs will start protesting about the torture you are giving it, which ultimately affects your ability to complete the run.
But if you pace yourself from the onset and adopt a systematic way of running through proper planning, the heat cramps won't appear and you will be able to complete the run. Same as working, if you can plan ahead and adopt a systematic way in your working style, things will move ahead instead of snow-balling.
Being a late-bloomer in long distance running, I have now come to realise that nothing is impossible if you put your heart and soul in it and of course, being someone who can't run long distance alone, I need a running partner. And cheerios to my friend Stone who after being psycho'd by me, has joined the long distance running club and my running companion.
And after running today, I have also come to realise that there are people who are as mad as me, who came down to ECP to run on a Sunday morning, and good-looking gals somemore. I really admire them and I can tell you, they are running faster than me..haha..
Now, these are the type of gals I am on the lookout for, long hair, doe-eyed and atheletic types who can accompany me for my runs. Just like the last one, the one and only one who accompanied me on my weekly runs at ECP when I was studying in university back then. Haiz..what a waste.

The first to bite the dust..
Ah yes, the first amongst us has decided to call it quits..he has left the forest of bachelorhood and entered the pasture of marriagehood. Now that he has finally made up his mind on what he want, we are all happy for him, especially since his wife is one which of us all of us agree is the best amongst all the girlfriends he once had.
Even though the post ROM reception wasn't those of the rowdy type, being more of a quiet affair, we all had a smashing time. All of us took the time to catch up with one another about our busy working life and joked about when our turn would be.
Which ROM won't be unique without any pictures? But I won't post up any photos till they sent it to me.
Well, at least I managed to enjoy my weekend to the fullest by staying over at the chalet, without any noise from the TV set, in the company of friends..just like a mini holiday..next week would be a long week as I strive to clear up my stuff before I leave for a 3-week working trip to Australia.

look at the sky everyday, looking at all the gleaming airliners cruising through the wild blue yonder. I would visualise you flying in the aircraft,walking amongst the passengers , smiling at them, playing with the kids on board.
But as I look at the wide blue sky everyday, I also pray that I do not have to do the thing I am supposed to do. You once told me that if your time's up, it's like...well, game over. Game over, as if life is like a game, a game which you won't know when the ending will be. A game where you can't save and go back to start all over again.
Sometimes I do fear for your safety when you are flying. But when I know that you have clocked the same number of take-offs and landings, I feel at ease. But I guess you won't ever know about this, for you have not been answering my calls, replying my sms'es.
I wish...that you could listen to what I have to tell you..for sometimes life can be unpredictable and I don't want to lead a life with any regrets..a regret which have been in me for so many years

there's alot of things to cheer about. Take for example, my good friend of 10 years is getting ROM'd this coming friday. Congrats to him for finally tying the knot after so many years of courtship..another one bites the dust..heh..
And to three of my friends who are celebrating their birthdays this month..H, BX and FY. Don't want to miss out my long long friend, Ms Tay, who celebrated hers last month. My birthday is coming too, but I would be overseas by then..but that doesn't mean the presents can't come..hmmzz..what should I have?
Ok, A Mount Blanc Starwalker fountain pen engraved with my name would be nice..heh..plus a dinner and some champagne at somewhere quiet with that special someone would be nice too...well, let just wait and see if it will really happpen..
Now my weekends are starting to be better..on the social circuit that is..seems like alot of people are asking me out on weekends nowadays..oh well, at least they remembered me..
But its still not as good as I would want. I want to bring my camera and practice my photography, which I admit is not that spectacular. And now I am starting to force myself to wake up on Sunday mornings for runs at ECP. Should start blading on week nights too, if I finish early that is..heh
I have cleared the 200th post already, this is my 201st post. Didn't know I could write so much crap. It would be fun to go back and review my past postings to see what I did.Interesting eh?
See, life's still good even if things can get shitty at times.
But I miss her alot..wonder how she is getting along..

Boss hinted that out of the two of us in the branch, one of us would be posted back to our sub-units next July. And he looked at me when he was saying that..is it me?
Oh well, I didn't have any reaction to that for I was too tired to even think of that. For starters, I stayed in office on Monday till 10+ at night. The following morning, I went back to office at 7 in the morning to finish up the work before going for a one-day course.
This morning, I had to go back to the office to finish up some work and attend a branch meeting before rushing off for exercise planning. Wonder why there are still so much things to do prior to an upcoming overseas trip?
I forsee that the next two weeks I would be max'd out by my work. Ask for timeout? Maybe..maybe..but sometimes in our line of work, asking for timeout ain't an option..and I haven't packed my overseas bag yet...arghhh...
And I have yet to talk to her....Labels: Grumblings
