The Zahir, the Orange Run and the prom queen campaign...

I'm finally done with The Zahir. must admit i am quite relieved. because Coelho was going on n on n on i was afraid i might fall into a trance from reading the book. it was all very cult-like in a way....found it a bit out of this world. literally. anyway, every book has its good pages. and i'd say the love-themed story which ended in happiness still touched me in one way or another. :)

the Orange Run took place last Sunday at the Curve. I was looking forward to a relaxing run, seeing it was less than 10 kms. i had not known that there was in fact a bit of a hilly terrain and that the 9 km stated on the entrance form was actually 9.8 km in reality. When i reached there, i spotted the familiar baby blue running vest of Kit Mun and was pleased because she made me achieve a pretty fast pace during the Smart Tunnel run. but alas, she left me sometime after 6 km or so, despite the fact she said she was sick and had not been training. *grumbles

nonetheless, i had a good time. got 13th place in my category. I got RM60 worth of BHPetrol vouchers. and 4L of fuly synthetic engine lubricant. :)

the personal campaigns for the Mr & Ms Metropolitan nominees start this week. However, as of today i have seen not so much as a flyer being thrown around in college. are everyone really doing nothing? and there i was getting all competitive. i had imagined aggressive narcissm going on in the corridors of college, but the coast seem to be crystal clear

which makes me a little shy to campaign. Dektos, my campaign manager, has been spending hours on end designing posters n flyers for me, and i couldnt be more grateful. But how to fight if there's no fight?!?!?

i'm hoping that when i start campaigning tomorrow, ppl will start too. that way i dont come off as an attention seeking, fan-base generating stereotypical prom queen wannabe..
