Finally finished all e work i'm supposed to do n boi...am i tired... Jus feel like flopping on bed nw, 10 more mins b4 V day's finally over. Radio been blasting soppy love songs all day long with listeners calling in professing their undying love for their other half or tt person they long to be in a rs with. But everytime someone says tt they'll love tt other person forever, esp when it's as yet unreciprocated love, i jus feel like rolling my eyes n barfing my guts out, gimme a break..
Lotsa stuff for DDR to settle, onli managed to tie up e looser ends tonight. Quite a tiring day, reached sch early to go print my stuff but din manage to n went to class earlier than usual. There was onli Lin Teck there n i helped him arrange e chairs, eh, told him tt i saw him on Sat whilst on e way to Sentosa, he was running out in e scorching sun at 3 plus pm, gawd....Anyway,i asked him abt his running agenda n my jaws dropped even further, he runs everyday n clocks 10km everytime, he puts me to shame man...esp since e morn run i had hoped to squeeze in tis morn din go my way, my sloth took over. I said tt i din run as much n as far as he does n he says it's diff since I'm a ger, hmmm...felt like retorting why nt butdden decided tt i'm neither willing nor able to run 10km every single day so kept my mouth shut. In retrospect, wise choice. We both hv e Standchart half marathon in mind though i think e way i'm slacking, i may onli ged to do a quartz marathon. But he has inspired me, he runs even during the melting hrs of noontime, realise tt i'm reallie quite a vampire when it comes to running. Today, i ran at 630 pm n it was still light n it felt so strange, i jus felt so exposed n vulnerable, lacking tt velvety canopy of darkness to shield me n cover me, it jus din feel right so guess running at mid noon is still out of e qn for me nw. He told me tt i look uncannily like Jeanette Aw n when he said tt, i felt like an alien, like I was myself in someone else's skin, weird...
Anyway, i wore a long sleeve shirt n skirt to HCI for e interview n they made me wait for more than half an hr, long sleeves reallie shud be banned in Spore, i felt like i was gonna melt into one big pool of blubber.....as I stepped into Hwachong, felt tis amazing sense of nostalgia sweeping over me. Saw a class heading for PE lessons n tot of those happy days with A12, of e fun n happiness I had with Nadine n Soph, things jus ain't e same nw. Oh well...tt's life, i guess. Reached hm at 630, changed, out for a run n did 6.5km. n haha, i jus rem! I saw e biggie of Mediacorp cycling along e canal, he's e no 1 or 2 figure in Mediacorp, always found him to be a veri charming guy n tis much he has proven so, cuz even dressed in tee, shorts n perched on a ridiculously small bike, he still exudes tt kind Richard Gere charm. As I ran past him, I half wanted to pretend to stumble on e pavement, wait for him to come to my aid n perhaps after he noticed my "uncanny" resemblance to one of e rising stars in his terrain, he'll welcome me with open arms to e big, warm Mediacorp family. Yeah, right...think e furthest i can ged wud be to be Jeanette's substitute. Anyway, it was a gd run, i did 14 laps of a canal route n realised sthg, tt if i din think of e distance loomin ahead n focused on jus putting one foot ahead of e next, i'll ged there much easier. That can be applied to life as well, at times i worry too much abt wad life holds for me, my future career, relationship, happiness etc...but i reallie shud jus focus on e current nw, it's amazing hw running can jus be so enlightening n illuminate certain perspectives tt i've been either blinded to or refuse to take heed of previously.
Anyway, tis is gonna be a long post cuz jus feel like blogging everything out. Today's V day..I tot of e previous 2 V day in which I was in separate relationships but still i din mange to celeb V day cuz it jus so happened that unhappy circumstances landed itself on V day n my past 2 V day was rather sucky. Tis yr, I'm alone for V day. No expectations, no gifts, no flowers, no surprises, no company, no disappointments, no heartbreaks as well. It's ironic but u cud even say tt this V day has been kinder to me than e previous two. At least I feel peace at heart. After my run, i went over to e Chinese Garden lake, looked out at it, the sun was setting, e waters tranquil, e sky an alluring misty shade....stretched my muscles, wished myself happy V day n turned back to head for hm. Oh yeah, last V day, I gaf myself a necklace for a pressie, tis yr, my pressie's an innovation in e way i run. Tis sounds stupid but i was reminded of wad Lin Teck said abt e way he spiced up his run, haha..it was jus running Lane 1, then e subsequent lanes so tt it wud add variety to e run. I noe it ain't much, haha, i almost wanted to burst out laughing when i ehard tt but refrained myself frm dg so. SoI ran backwards for a while jus nw, haha, tt's e stupid V day pressie I gaf myself. To be more innovative, daring n nt afraid to take an unfamiliar, alternative turn in life...Life's surprises awaits, doesn't it?
I jus feel so much more alive after a run. But nw, after dg DDR presentation, I'm half dead again, perhaps a morn run tml wud refresh me again. Yearn for Kent Ridge Park for my runs...nitez, lights out.
