I ran 10km on 22 Jul, in abt 1h 15min. A feat never accomplished before, so then it was quite satisfying for me. It was kind of an impulse, because nobody wanted to run at ecp, and I wanted to see how far I could go. So the plan was for me to run home, through esplanade, singapore river, up to boat quay, down singapore river, through the F1 road, along republic boulevard, along nicoll highway, down guilemard road, and back home. That's about 11.6 ~11.8km but the last stretch through geylang wasn't considered a run, because half the time i was avoiding the many ermmm ppl there, and there were many traffic lights. I was drenched by the time I got back, but quite a nice feeling. And not much music needed, I had technical difficulties trying to get the earphones to stay in the ear throughout until I gave up trying to fiddle with the earphones.
======================

I think I have little empathy. It's there, but it's tucked away in a little corner that is reserved only for special cases. How I have built a hard heart...I don't know.

======================

I went to play on thursday. It was.....a huge disappointment. Super boring, the place was never packed the whole night, and there was a singer-wannabe promoting her 2 albums (for the price of 1). Plus she too had technical difficulties with the mic and most of the time her singing sounded like the gold 90.5fm's ad where only selected words could be heard "He...*muffled/censored*...is a *muffled* natural" something like that. i shall not go into details.

But there was a surprise at the end of it all. A pleasant surprise, but I need to be cool about it because my intuition tells me so.

=======================

Headphones are a great invention. They tell people to fuck off and don't bother me, even if I am just blogging or staring at the monitor. And I think I am actually a possessive freak.

=======================

The new math works like this. 30% of her time = 30% x working hours. Total working hours = 100% of working hours + 30% of working hours = 130% of her time.
I need to start doing some work NOW before my boss sends me another "you are lagging behind" email.

=======================

When will i be able to get my white jazz with red seats.
