bruised ego

i went running with Keith at the lake yesterday morning and i lost. We did 4 rounds in opposite directions and he finished like a minute and a half before me.

*ouch*

it's either all the working have made me ultra tired, or i've become super unfit or my 12 year old brother has increased his stamina by leaps and bounds! either way my ego's dented and i'm as sour as unripe oranges can be. sure i'm proud of him...but...but....

bleahhh....guys have it easy. they can have no training and yet beat the a** out of me when it comes to running. they just can. and we have to train like super hard to be able to outdo them.

and i have 36 days to KLIM. and being the genius i am, i signed up for the half marathon because i'm such a complacent idiot.

how the hell am i supposed to do less than 2 hours 17 minutes if i keep on slacking?

oh yea..

Happy CNY you guys....=)

another day at camp 5

that's Eugene....

and Melanie....

and Lee Kes Sam a.k.a Sam...

and last but not least, me...=)

another day at Camp 5 ends with more-than-satisfactory results. =)

photos galore!

right...i actually have been taking photos. coz that's kinda what i do best on an outing, aside from eating. but i've been too lazy to poke the USB into the camera to upload them. So i finally took the time to do so, thus, i shall just display them all. =)

i had the opportunity to see how Camp 5 looked like before the doors are openned to customers. i watched in awe as these people were literally hanging out cleaning the handholds on the walls. how cool is that!


and this department was sorta under me for a couple of days. Rental. it's no joke during peak hours.


then there was the much awaited Korbubu Gathering. We had BK in 1 Utama. Fancy meeting Camah there as well. haha...:)


and finally, tonight we had the G5 get together for the year 2006. This was fun. Food at New Paris was undoubtly delicious. And the company? Priceless. =) stopped by Bec's place after dinner, where our stomachs were given time to digest while we launched into a heated In-Between card game. well...actually they did. not me. and ashwin. =)


and of course, Puvesh happened to be in ss2, so i shamelessly asked for a ride home. as always.

Puvesh, if you're reading this, i'll buy u lunch someday ok? =)

super ice breaking session

i got called to work today because there was some staff meeting for the senior staff and i had to be around when no one was. of course i wasnt the only one. they wouldnt trust me. i wouldnt too if i were them. =)

so anyway, Camp 5 was quiet today. and the supervisors werent in the office. and i was left at the counter with 2 other guys. So, we had this super ice breaking session. now one of them is my age. he looks like a nice chap but the stories i heard tonight left me in doubt. the other guy is 2 years younger. he has a boyish look and he is just that. so there was the entertainer, and the entertainee, and i was there to just listen by the side.

then it came to my "favourite" topic - partners/boyfriends and girlfriends. grr.

"mum dont like you to drive home alone? then get a boyfriend la? oh wait...do you already have one?"

"nope..."

"serious? no boyfriend? find one la!"

"you think what? shopping ker?"

"i think you're just choosey"

well he ain't the first. I'm choosey? Isn't everyone? I mean, we're talking about someone whom i will share my life with here. I can't just go picking up any Tan, Ali or Muthu from the road can i? when i find the right one, i'll know. and i will totally commit. but for the time being, finding the right one is still my mission. and lately it seems to be one that is impossible but i'm still young right?

right?

First day at work report

Camp 5 is the place to work at. seriously. when they say you learn new things everyday, they're not kidding. in just 7 hours of work today i learned helluva lot more than i've learned in my umpteen years of climbing. hmm...ok maybe not umpteen. since i stopped for a good couple of years. but yea...i learned more than in all of my climbing experience.

and i found out that Bukit Takun has a key hole called Pussey keys. *shrugs*

and Han, Jote and the Racist Sardine came today! nice...hope to see them tomorrow.
