I’ve been pretty busy so here are just eight short snippets of my life for those who are interested.
\n1. Work’s been alright, I’ve been learning new stuff and it’s been interesting so far. I do a lot more writing than I did in my previous full-time job. I’m back in the grind of a 9-to-5 job and having to brave the morning crowds in the train and lunch crowds in Raffles Place. It’s hell by the way – way too crowded for my liking. So anyway, back to being a minion at the bottom rung of the corporate ladder; the wrong end of the food chain that is the rat race.
\n2. I was sick for two weeks and sidelined from training. Had the whole works – flu, cough, sore throat. It’s some nasty bug that has been going around. I went to see TCM doctor and a Western medicine doctor. I went back to training yesterday and am aching from the workout. Pathetic.
\n3. I’m pondering whether I should sign up for the Standard Chartered half\/full marathon. I’m inclined to go for the full since I think I should do it at least once in my life. You know, just to say I’ve done it. But I’m pretty daunted by the distance.
\n4. I watched The Dark Knight<\/i> on Friday Night. It was pretty good, but perhaps a tad too long. And I agree, the late Heath Ledger was great as the psychotic Joker.
\n5. I had dinner at Bodega y Tapas, a Spanish tapas restaurant at Orchard Hotel. Food was not bad, if not a little overpriced. Lots of expats hanging out there…looks like it could become a potential minefield for SPGs. The yummiest thing in the restaurant, in my opinion, is the young, dark-haired, and good looking angmoh chef. My girlfriends and I eyed him through the glass window. Haha.
\n6. Tomorrow evening I am to be event photographer for good friend Monomania’s ROM! The couple Monoceros and I brought together are going to be married! So cool. The groom happens to Monoceros’ bro.
\n7. Wednesday night I take a 10-hour bus ride to Penang for the World Club Crew Dragonboat Championship! It’s going to be four days of racing and eating and partying. Yipee!
\n8. Am enthralled by the book Seabiscuit<\/i> which tells the story of the Cindrella horse which no one wanted, but was later groomed by three men to become the greatest race horse in American history. The story of the horse’s, his trainer’s, and his jockey’s triumph against all odds is inspirational. A proper review to come when I finish reading it. The book was adapted into a film but I doubt the film captures the heart and soul of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
