alright, my shins been hurting really badly and so basically all my plans of having training while away, were sadly abolished. back to work starting today (monday that is). another 7-8km? been playing around with run.com to come up with routes and also see what's the actual distances instead of having to count my pacing and then try to calculate my approximate distance like some kind of caveman from the time of the brontosaurus. but the bad thing now is that my watch is totally gone. like at first you couldn't access the stopwatch. now you can't even wear just cause the other day while running, my arm smacked into this man and my watch fell out. didn't realise it until i was like two traffic lights away. so i had to run back slowly, trying to search for my watch while by-standers watched in awe at a tall brown man running in tiny shorts looking jogging with his head bobbing here and there. finally found it and saw that the strap had been torn away from the pin connected to the watch. so yeah, can't wear it now. now i'll try to use my ipod. see if that works.

recently, i've picked up my guitar, in a bid to rescue and salvage my musical soul, if i even had one. learning the chords and all after a three year hiatus of learning the chords. hopefully, it'll all be good and soon before you know it, i'll be strumming away to the tune of Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. beautiful. it's good. strumming away. it relaxes your mind. okay, it may be a little bit frustrating to get the chords sounding right, or even just trying to get your arm comfortable over the guitar, but once you get over that, you just feel good. soon, proceed on to the electric guitar and can very well be on the way to irritating the shit out of my neighbors with my Slash-inspired string-singing.

dad's not back yet. but apparently the bike idea is actually, contrary to my earlier expectations, not out of my reach. in fact, it's being considered. watch out drivers, i'm on the road so give way or i'll just crash into your back window. okay, i'm already preparing something to write about tomorrow regarding this whole bike-car conflict going on on singapore's roads. seriously guys, it's just being over-thought over.

alright, it's 205 and i think i should finally hit the hay. hit the sack. whichever you like. haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time and today should not be any more of the same. so cheerio mateys and argh to you too.
