Last Christmas

Last Christmas, we watched a forgettable movie at vivocity and had dinner at our favorite restaurant. She was not happy when I told her I will be in HK for a conference in Jan'07. She sulked and that spoiled the Christmas dinner. We finished our dinner quietly and left early because she wanted to return home.

She brighten up on the way to the bus stop, wanting to be with me longer. However, my xmas cheers was gone and was not in the mood to response. I did not bring myself to think how to turn the occasion to be better. It was the start of the downhill of our relationship from there.

Next time, maybe, for whatever the next girl will be, I must be stronger and find out the cause of the sulking and try to make Xmas a season of cheers and forgiveness.

21 more days to 2008

During the unfortunate episode with my last company, a kind anonymous left a note saying there were 3 more month left and things will work out. And things did turn out decent in the job area for me so far. Thank you, kind stranger.

It is 21 more days to 2008 and with it coming will closes one of the most difficult year in my life. And in the meantime, I pray that events will make the closing be better than the beginning in this remaining days.

In a way, the difficult period taught me many lessons about faith, trust and friendship. Of who are my true friends, of how faith is eternal and faithful, of how trust is such a fragile thing that once broken can never be repaired, amened or replaced.

'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, our kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one"

BIB 27705 2 hr 16 min

My nipples hurts, a sensation and experience that is new and interesting. Not helping least is the running water makes it tingle and snare. After some thought, the cause points towards the Adidas running shirtlet that I wore for the 21.1km run today. It is the first time I am wearing the official Stanchart shirtlet. And it must be the rubbing against the shirt during the run that cause the abrasion.

Thinking back, sticking 2 $10 notes in my short pockets and leaving the home carrying nothing except what i wear was a reckless and simple-minded way to start the race.

Anyway, the run started at 6.15am and after 2hr 16 min, I finally reached the Finish line. And it is good that my strategy of drinking at every drink stop works. The result of using the mental strength of enduring the pain is my knees hurts when I walk now, so it will be couple of months before I run again.

Come to think of it, I better stick to run that are < 21km
