2007 Army Half Marathon

This yr's run not as stressful.. straight road, the longest route was the along East Coast park. Kevin ran with me.. till almost towards the end, we parted. After 15km, he started to feel the pain again on his knees. Ran slowly and a few times, we caught up with each other again.

Last yr kevin accompanied me up till the Fort Road and waited for me at the finish. Towards the end, i got asthma attack. rested 15 mins.. and continued running.. finished at 3:05 somewhere there.. This yr.. thank God, no attacks, but i finished at 3:01. No diff at all. But i did not walk that much..in fact kevin was bedide me motivating me tto keep on running.. not to stop. Hmm... nevermind la.. felt like wanting to give up this running altogether.. but last monday, i registered for the 15km Real Run, paid 30 bucks for that!! waliau.. it's not getting any cheaper!! hopefully the goodie pack is worth the fee.

anyway.. still have to keep on running .. as i have already registered for this yr's full marathon.

Think those are the only 2 remaining runs i'll be looking forward to.

@Work.. too much politics in the ward itself, worst than in any big organisations. Did not report to work yesterday eventhough i had my day off the day before, after been working for 7 days.. ( where got work 6 days week one!! liar..) i am tired and may just get sick. No breaks again at work .. Feeling frustrated with how things are.. with everything... and everybody... .. watever.

Went to sentosa on my off day. And went for short run yesterday.. thinking that i would feel better.. but nah.. i got sick..runny nose.. teary eyes.. sneeze non-stop.. so decided to laze at home.. reported mc for yesterday. Basically .. i need more rest, that's all i want!!! I want a 6 day work week .. not 7 or 8 day work week!!!

12 Aug: Wedding cum Birthday celebration..

Congratulations to... TLR and Fd!





Happy Birthday... Fd!

suppose to go for blood test tdy after work but i totally forgotten. jus like what i wanted..once done.. game over. left the ward almost immediately.

tmr must make sure to go to the clinic to have my blood taken.

work was smooth.. but somehow.. pple still want to double check my work.. don;t believe me is it? go ahead.. question me.. double check my work .. i can wait.

so tired..................

morning shift almost everyday till saturday. morning shift the toughest.

but i must make sure not to make any mistakes.. medication error, documentation and so on. don;t let anyone bully me.

work fast but must be thorough.. alert and consistent. make sure to manage my time well. make sure my juniors got to get to for their breaks.

i don't eat also never mind. i will not complaint. finish work nice nice..
pass over and go home.

peace.

i do not have my mobile in my pockets while at work, so the first thing i do whenever i go for my break is to reach for my mobile to check for messages.

this morning i rec'd 2 smses, one said sorry to hear abt my pt's passing on.. and the second was "my dear,how's the tension at work ? tell me later when u're free " it almost made me cry.. quietly and quickly left the ward, for my break at the kopitiam instead of ta-pau-ing it up. spend some quiet time at the corner with my music and new paper. really need a break from the ward. not that i hate the pple i am working with today. it's just that i don't like the way they talk to me. i know that i might have done something wrong or they just don't like the way i am.. i don;t know..
we can always talk nicely.. there's no need to shout and throw things, showing temper in front of patients. at times, i felt that i was being bullied..no respect, and i felt very "small" , i felt there's generation gap among us (majority 10yrs my jr).. but it's alright. i shall stay calm and not fight back.. something which i don't do in public. and it's not my style. sometimes, keeping quiet would do some good. And so, i did just that this morning at work. Kept to myself most of time, talk when necessary ..

(they actually looked for me.. during my break. wondering where i've been... )

i did not reply to the sms till we met later in the evening, and by then, i totally forgotten all about the tension i had with the pple around me. never in past working experience, had anyone shouted at me. totally shocked.
the sms did mean a lot to me at that moment. though i do confide with my other colleagues.. but i can't show them how depressed i was. their words did hurt a little but i can't cry. i felt disappointed and angry at the same time too. told myself that i must be strong. i had to.

i felt better knowing he cares, .. and it's all because of him that i am able to be strong and face the challenges (but mostly, shit) .. emotionally and mentally. i am not alone.

Finally, i finished with that incident report, submitted and now jus have to wait for pple up there to discuss and feedback. surely kena marked liao.

then after work, decided to go break free .. went to PartyWorld at Yishun Safra, happy hours with Marichelle.

then kev came.

went to watch Bourne Ultimatum.
RAte: 4/5 ( would have been 5/5, but i slept during some exciting parts)

last friday, watched Rush Hour 3.
RAte: 4/5 (didn't sleep, funny but not so exciting, same kind of fighting.. but the jokes, best!)

But the best movie so far i've watched this mth, was FlashPoint. Rate: 5/5 ( never blink eyes .. mouth open big big.. handsome actors.. fighting, best!)

the patient died..

on my last night, about 2am, my colleague came to me .. said that the patient requested to speak to his son. cos he said that he's dying.. i said ok .. let's call him up but most of my colleagues were against my decision. it was too late to call the family.. and anyway, the patient always request for the same thing almost everyday. so we all chose to ignore.

the patient, was planned to be discharged today, saturday .. either back home or hospice. i was looking forward to see him after my 2 days off, but only to find out that he had passed away.

maybe, he knew that there's no one at home waiting for him since his wife is currently lying at SGH. and he knew that he's condition couldn't take him any further.

this is the same patient, i made that medication error. the one that i had to write up the incident report, which till now.. i have yet to complete. I hope my error did not contribute to his death.

i regret not calling his son on the night he requested for it. i should have just gone with my gut feelings.. and not listen to my colleagues. :(

so i decided to pack my stuff.. dumped my bag in the locker and ran 2 rounds around yishun park. and now i am sleepy... kev on his way home from SIM, will be home anytime now.

Oh, i have a new neighbour. chinese. with 1 kid. a granny. a dog.
met up with the couple, eric and evan, but never the dog. the dog's sharp and loud bark simply irritates me. somehow, the owner knew and apologise. told them i got cats and apparently they knew too. but don;t think they know how many i have, hehehe..

today i finally get to see their pet doggy.. .. it appeared at their front door balcony gate..barking at me.. then someone say shhhhh!! and then shut the door.
ha!
It is smaller that a standard small sized cute sort of doggy ..
but one thing very certain.. my cats are bigger .. and also, my cats fiercer ... my cats' paws more solid. think i better get a pet insurance, just in case .. my cats attack poor doggy.

Actually, I don't mind dogs.. bigger better.. small ones very irritating..they too hyper... run here.. run there.. not direction one. bark here and there.. don;t know what they want .. noisy! i hope i will not accidently kick it ..

kevin's back.. gonna sleep early..

oh... i jus realised that kevin got class tonight :(
now i really don;t know what to do.. i thot that would be seeing him like right now..
but NO!!!! he'll be back at 11.

guess.. i eat alone, don;t have to open mouth today..no one to talk to..
self talk with blogger .. sianzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
but don;t think i can stay quiet very long with my lappy.........

hmmm... let's see.. maybe now i go get towel.. take a stroll through the parks to go safra.. then dip dip.. then chomp chomp.. then walk walk again..

ok set... got my music to accompany me...and nice weather.. BEST ..!

(sometimes.. it feels great to be all alone once a while (kev's alone time always spent at sentosa on his off days while i at work )... but then.. being alone.. too much self talk and think too much, flashbacks of some good old happy sad bitter sweet sour tasteless.. memories.. .. some make me smile , some can make me cry.. , i like actually.. to have that a little time to be all by myself)

arghhhh... i overslept!!!! not that i have anything to do or have i missed anything.. the whole afternoon almost gone.. and i do nothing, but sleep, which i actually need but don't want. my mind telling me go out .. do something, but my body wants to rest.. but my stomach complaining of hunger....

at safra this morning, when i registered the 12km fun run for kevin, the recept lady asked whyi looking so sad and tired..
sad..? yeah.. there are so many reason why i was and still feeling sad about..

tired.. ? cos i walked around looking for provision shop selling towels!!!

told her that i want towel.. !!! she said go to provision shop outside the club.. cheap cheap one.. i said to her i already did that .. but shops not open yet.. i was hoping that she could spare me one towel.. compliments from the club.. from their gym or got sell... some thing like that.. as long as i can go play water!!!

now waiting for kevin to come home.. yeah!!!

hungry..

i don't care. i left the ward without telling her. She wanted me to stay behind after my night duty to finish up with that e-hor ( occurance report) aka incident report. i really don't care... i am tired. i have been not leaving on the dot for the past 2 days .. i am tired. tired of everything and everyone.

yesterday.. i left the ward at 10am .. trying to finish up with that stupid report, but still not completed.. more to do still..but i had to stop cos my eyes couldn't take it anymore. tired and hungry..

was so tired that i missed my stop. boarded the train.. closed eyes.. open eyes.. i saw AMK Hub.. close eyes again cos till got 2 more stations to go.. jus when i opened my eyes again.. ting tong..doors closing.. I missed my stop.. sigh* closed eyes again cos the next stop quite far... then... "ting tong.. doors closing.." oh shit!! not again!!! got up ..stood by the exit door.. alight at next station, waited for another train across the platform .. this time.. making sure that my eyes open big big. if i were to.. open close , open close eyes..again and missed my stop and kept crossing platforms .. like pin ball, i'll never get home.., i might as well just sit and sleep in the train..

that was yesterday..

the day before.. also left the ward at 10plus.. but not that too tired. went to eat breakfast at Northpoint, went straight home.. but couldn't really sleep much.. but jus enough .. 4 hrs.
no wonder.. yesterday .. a bit stoned.

i thought today, since i left earlier.. i could go for a dip dip at safra swim pool. initially the weather was jus perfect.. no sun.. i like.. cannot get dark.. so happy .. but then, something struck me... i've forgotten to bring my bath towel!!! Ala.... wat a waste of time!!! Aiyah... why?!!! brought everything but towel!!! walk shiok shiok ... along the reservior , up the park .. with music and the nice weather.. how come... i can forget my towel!!! Fated to go home .. sad.. don't like to be home alone.. hate to sleep.. it's simply a waste of time.

Anyway.. on my way home.. ... dark clouds took over the sky.. and it started to drizzle and it got heavy... wah.. lagi happy!!! play in the rain ... shiok!!!! walk slowly .. enjoy.. the rain , my music .. very cold... but shiok. Best!! ... yoohoo!!!

maybe later see how.. if weather good.. either go run or swim...

as for now.. i find food .. then sleep.

28 July : Overnite BBQ at Aloha Changi

Post-bbq.. Faris and me were discussing.. while clearing up the mess and till last nite before i left for night duty that, we should make another party and the next time...there will be lesser food but more playtime.. and we are thinking of Sentosa. No bbq, but catered food instead.

First of all, Alhamdullilah, the weather was very kind to us. The heavy rain stopped when we reached there at 1430hrs, drizzling only, unload some stuff and Kev had to leave to fetch our 2nd load of stuff from his parents. And after that, he left again.. back home to get the DVD- Karaoke player with subwoofer and speakers (but somehow the system does not sound as good as it is at home). I can't remember how many trips he made to and fro .. as I was busy with the final preparation.. Fried Bihun, sting ray wraps, prawn wraps, kebak sticks and baked potatoes. . almost had panic attack.. so litte time .. so many things had to be done..

About 6pm, the first 2 guests came.. Theresa and Jerene.. Kev's colleague. . At that time.. paiseh still in my shorts. Quickly got changed before many other guests arrived and mistaken me for a maid. Soon after.. streams of people came.. mostly Kevin's colleagues and friends whom some were unfamiliar to him. But we welcomed them anyway.. really felt good when word of mouth reaches to those who heard and turned up unexpectedly. Very greatful and many heartfelt thank you to all who came and to those who tried to come but cannot make it.

There were many cars pulling up at the entrance, and we had to lookout to see who just arrived. If it's chinese.. then it's Kevin's side.. and if it's non-chinese.. then, it was like a guessing game.. " Who's guest? When he asked me.. i said i don't know. Then i had to asked those around .. I can't recognise and don't know who..

invited some old secondary school friends.. posted my invitation at the forum.. so some of those who came .. either i don't know them at all... or i can't recognised them cos they have all changed.

I was worried that i was not able to entertain my guests .. Running, Skipping and rolling from unit A to unit C, wanting to make sure that everyone's ok and comfortable, had their food and drinks.. and having a wonderful time, jus as much as i enjoyed every minute of it. ME tired .. not at all..

It was really an overnite BBQ .. still having pple to eat in-between games after midnight onwards. Some of Kevin's friends were looking forward for some mahjong and card games.. but can't do much of that cos the food takes time to be cooked and we actually started the fire a little too late but it was alright... everything went well .. and everybody enjoyed the food..

We started clearing up when everyone asleep . That was all.. we left the place at 10am.

As we reached Yishun, it began to rain. Unload the leftovers and stuff.. and now the house is in a big mess. Not tidying it up cos.. too tired, got to sleep.. to prepare to stay up again .. night shift for the next 3 days.

Jus returned from nite duty today and i am still feeling fresh..

22 July:Mizuno Run 2007

This is the 3rd time i took part in Mizuno Run and i think this will be the last. First of all, the goodie bag is getting lighter. Used to have food samples, drinks, etc.. but now.. nothing but only the running T with the shoe bag. I remembered the very first time I look part in 2004, there were more than just a goodie bag. There was personalised certificate with photo (no time stamping though but it was worth it.. ) And the registration fee was $15. This time, it's $20. Secondly.. the running route. For the past years, it used to be at Kovan Hub (hougang) -Old Tampines Road and back to Kovan Hub. I hated that route.. demoralising. Very dry and boring.. and told myself no more Mizuno Run .. But this yr, since they changed the route to Bedok Reservoir, we decided to give another go for it. So there.., we went to sign up at our own will and ran at our own risk.. bottle necks here and there..constructions areas.. if not for the morning the heavy rain.. think runners will not be hoping here and there to avoid the mud and puddles of water.. As for me.. i just splashed on it.. as i am so used to running at Mac Ritchie.. similar running ground. I don't care about my new Nike Free.. can't be avoided. I really hated the run.. crowded at the beginning and even had to walk.. congested. I started fast.. as i wanted to get away from the crowd.. what more.. Drowning Pool was playing in my ears.. couldn't help it.. but to run fast.. then... what happened next.. ? I got tired too fast and slowed down. And when i saw Kevin passed by.. i wanted to give up already. I called him to tell him that. He waited twice after 5km and 6km. Ran together.. but i couldn't keep up. My breathing not so good too. Took a few puffs during my run.. i fear that i might have asthma attack along the way.. and i didn't see any medical station. I really hated the run.. well, there were some other reasons for wanting to quit . The day before the run, I went to see Dr for my UTI (urinary tract infection) and i constantly got the urge to pee. So when i ran.. i held my bladder.. then, causing me to have that back pain. And I still had that leftover headache from the day before and plus.. I got my "girlfriend" .. so uncomfortable... simply put.. no mood la for this run. But .. the weather was good.. after the rain effect.. cooling and breezy. So why not..try to enjoy the run. We reached late.. started running at about 10 mind to 8am. Finished at 9am.

After that, we went to Changi Village to try the famous nasi lemak. Hmmm, wonder what's so nice about it. Nothing special .. little serving of rice..which i think it's good. But again.. nothing special la..

Next, we tried kayaking.. $15 for one hour. Double kayak. Fun.. relaxing..and all wet..

Then washed car.. played with water!!! Ended the day at about 2 plus.. Kevin helped with washing our dirty shoes while i clean up our messy house. Then it rained again.. we slept throughout the evening .. woke up at around after midnight.. get back to sleep again at 3am.

15, 16 July : Trip to Kukup

Drove up to Kukup last weekend with Kevin's colleagues. An experience to live in a house just above waters. But it was low tide or no tide at all during the day.. so we get to see living creatures like crabs, snakes, snails and mud skipper. It looked dirty actually beneath, on the sea bed.. or should i say.. swamp.. cos the house is near to the mangrove. U can find dead animals.. but mostly dead fish. And all the junk and litters. I saw the residents just simply threw their litters out from their window. Low tides.. or no tide.. allows the monkeys to come out to play on land and also .. get to see rats.. big rats.. running, finding food. Occasionally u will hear the sound of water pouring down from underneath the house.. ah,.. that water.. are dirty water from the toilets.. no sewage facility. All natural.. Big and small business done all drop from under the house.. quite unsightly but that's still part of life over there. That is the only thing that reminded me of the trip.. besides the floating kelong. I love nature .. so i don't mind. But somehow, i need to be accompanied by Kevin in the toilet to bathe. I was afraid that anything from underneath the toilet bowl, something might just climb up to surprise me..eeeeioww.. scared!

Lost..

 

Morning run on a Sunday feels different from any other day.. the sun seems brighter.. the sky so blue and the people seemed friendlier.. So this morning.. i decided to go beyond Lower Seletar Reservoir, thinking that it will led me to Yio Chu Kang.. somewhere along Lentor. But nope... I found myself running along the Seletar runway.. after the Seletar Country Club. I've never been to this place before.. i simply followed some cyclist .. surely it will bring me to somewhere.. so there's nothing to worry about. The stretch of road was like endless .. , 2-lanes traffic and no safe pavement to run. I didn't know where i was really till i saw some road names and directions. No other souls along the road, except for the oncoming cars, lorries and motorist were travelling at fast speed. Felt a little frightened and lost. But i carried on running..
Finally i ended up at the entrance of Seletar Camp .. where i saw the familiar TransIsland bus no 858.
I could take the bus home.. but then.. i decided to continue .. ran towards Jalan Kayu, got myself 100 plus and continued..till I reached Yio Chu Kang Road- AMK industrial area..
I ended up at Yio Chu Kang Mrt, took train home. Enjoyed my Sunday morning run.. i hope to do it again..with Kevin. Don't want to venture alone.

The ward's full house and the night went smoothly except for the occassional call bells asking for bed pan. The men had their urinals by their bed side.. and there's this one patient whom we hate to attend, a 25yr old Mr Bed 57. He was admitted for tibia fracture after playing football, and ORIF done to his right tibia 2 days ago. Other body parts, especially his 2 upper limbs are fine and functional.. but strangely, whenever he wanted to pee, he would require our assistance to hold his penis into the urinal bottle!! So each time, he pressed the call bell ..our first guess was that he wanted us for that reason, and none of us wanted to go to him. But we got no choice and not let the call bell ring for very long.

Another call bell queen would be Aunty Bed 32, on diapers and constantly peeing every hour to 2 hours .. so we changed her at least 3 times.

The best patient for the night would be 60+ year old New Zealander MR Bed 48 who stayed up with us, playing somekind of strategic game on his laptop. Then, about 5am, found him already changed to clean pyjamas and reading his book.

I was not tired at all, had my meal with the rest of my colleagues. The SNs even managed to take half to one hr nap, but i didn't. Not tired or sleepy at all, surfed the internet.. drank lots of water, 2 cups of coffee and 1 cup of chocolate cereal drink.

Thought that i could go for a swim after work.. but while waiting for the doctor to see Kev for his URTI, my eyes cannot open .. dozed off.. wah.. sleepy to the max.

Reached home about 1030hrs, quickly bathed and zzzzzzzzzz

Phone call woke me up and and could not get back to zzzzz again.
Felt hungry. Got up, do some laundry and cooked myojo.

Lower Seletar Reservoir

jus returned from morning run... and the morning has been kind.. breezy and not too hot.

Set out after kev left for work.. did some stretching at the void deck, time checked 0745hrs .., and with Alannah Myles' Bad For You playing .. off i went. Ran the usual route towards Yishun Park. Instead of heading towards Safra Country Club, i decided to go left and head to Orchid Country Club and continue my way up to Lower Seletar.
The morning traffic wasn't busy at all, cool weather and quite breezy . Saw only 1 jogger and 2 walkers.. along the stretch of the OCC road.

Time checked: 0825hrs..i reached the reservior. No joggers seen but young boys fishing. Many cars and lorries passing by .. and got police patrolling the area too, and there's the road cleaners.. so i think it's safe to come here again..

I'm not too sure how far i have ran. I am jus glad that i reached somewhere. Satisfied.

While running, i took note of some songs which are good for running. Some songs from White Zombie, Drowning Pool, Alannah Myles, Angel Dust, Cinderalla, Alter Bridge, Creed and Taiwan's ShiN.. kept me going...

Took some time to appreciate my surroundings ... took some pics.. and jogged home.

Cinderalla's Coming Home gave a perfect ending to today's run. Best!!

starting night duty from tomorrow onwards for three nights.. then sleepday, PH and off day.. Yeah.. can play!!! But then, kev is not feeling well. His face was red when i met him this evening. He picked me up from YT Mrt to visit my parents. They returned from Umrah this afternoon.

Over at my parents', he had an episode of SOB.. thank god i got my ventolin in the car. After dinner and the puff, think he felt better and after our little nephews and niece with their parents left, Kevin fell asleep on my lap while watching the tv. My poor husband.. been working very hard for the past few weeks and mths . And not having enough sleep too. Whenever i had to got to work in the morning, he too had to wake up early .. as early as 0545hrs, to send me to work. Sometimes, i wanted to leave the house while he's sleeping. So tonight, sleep more.. no pc for u.. I love you. Pls get better, so that i won't worry abt u when i am at work. You know, I always need to be with you whenever u're not well.
Gave him muscle relaxant tabs.. hopefully he'll be able to sleep well and be ok tmr when he wakes up. ( i better finish this up to join him in bed)

it's audit day today and my ward failed again. not going to talk abt it cos i don't care and i don't give a damn.

been wanting to cut my hair.. and so i did today after work. still kept the length but had it layered... my head's so light now.. that i feel like going for a run...

so, run ... it will be..for me, tomorrow morning , to somewhere .. not too sure yet..

I want out..

Last week was one of the worst weeks i ever had at work. I almost broke down into tears while working on that very day.. after i told off the Nurse Clinician that she can extend my probation as long as she wants if she thinks i still need improvement or incompetent. My probation period supposed to end this month.. and,I actually told her that i am not looking forward to my confirmation day. I really don't care...

No point complaining so much abt work to these group of people who checks on our clinical skills.. it won't change anything.. they expects too much from us when they given us lousy training..

Last week, i was assessed on resuscitation. I failed to meet a few criteria.. they are: name the things i can find in the e-trolley.. drawer by drawer.. and the common drugs. The rest of it.. preparing/ assisting with ETT , bagging and AED - passed.

AED.. Automated External Defibrillator .. I am not trained to use this equipment at all. Even if not trained , we are expected to know it's functions and able to function it. No problem.. i can do.. i can answer to all the questions asked.. but there's no need for you people to say something like " oh.. u're the SMCP batch" and give me that look as if my batch cannot make it. At the end of it.. she added on and said " well u're ok but still need to be prompted".

Obviously i failed in that stupid assessment, and i had to face my ward clinician for another round of re-assessment. How to pass?? Nothing was given to us to read. U expect us to go to Route21 or the E-learning .. where got time? She told me that she was a bit disappointed with my performance.. that i was doing well as a student but now has slackened.. ..
She suggestted that i should stay back after work to go through the processess.. HELLO!! u pple been single all ur life.. and not having any life outside... think that i got a lot of time ,is it?!!! That was the day when I really wanted to give up !! The day when i told her that she can extend my probation as long as she like.. it doesn't really matter..
So what if i am confirmed? No extra pay .. still have to face the same shit every day.

On that same day.. the Pain Team was doing their round and questioning me patient's condition..and their pain medicine..all this questioning ..while i was serving medication and at that same time.. the doctors were haunting me for missing case files!!!! It was worst than a fish market!! They made me confused.. too much noise in my head!!! and the Inpatient Medical Records where so messy.. which caused me to make 1 medication error. I placed the wrong medicine to a wrong patient and worst part was that the Pain Team saw it and pointed it out to me.. kena from her left right centre.. in front of patient..and doctors.. make me name all the medication in that medicine cup which i had dispensed. I was so damn confused.. deep inside, i was crying for help.. These people should know better that I should not be disturbed while serving medicines..!!!! That morning, i took the longest time to finish with serving medicine. I went without food and drink on that day.. finish work at 4.30pm instead of the official 3pm. Thanks to all the health care professionals who took away my precious break time.

I don;t know what to feel after what had happened. I don;t really mind the work.. but it is the way how things are going at work, which i hate. Told my bestfriend abt it.. and the more she tried to comfort me..made me cry.. we both experienced the similar situation.. or even worst in her case.. we are very sad to be trapped in this organisation.. Not feeling that too well emotionally.. i skipped work the following day.

Movie cum Pool Day

Jus signed up for this yr's Mizuno Wave Run today. It will be held on 22 July, and no longer at Kovan Hub. This year's run will be starting from Tampines Polytechinic Sports Stadium - Bedok Reservoir Loop - North along TP Main Road - and ends at TP Sports Stadium. I would like to recce the route one day if i have the time to do so, but meantime.., i'll jus run around my usual neighbouring area. With the new 10-km route, I hope to do better than last yr's 1hr 13mins.

It's Movie Day today organised by Kevin's company, at discounted price.. we watched Fantastic 4.. better than Pirates of the Caribbean. But, Ocean 13 is better.

After movie, we headed to Marina Square.. where i registered for the run and the guys played a few rounds of pool. I did too but i wasn't good at all.. i don't even know how to hold the stick. Maybe it's not my kind of game, but i would love to learn..

Drove the guys home.. and washed our dirty car at the end of the day. Did a quick wash so that we can rest early tonight.. as we both got to work tomorrow morning..

So far, today has been good. Good movie, good food, and good pool session - as what kevin said. It would have been almost a "fantastic" day, if not for the constant phonecalls kevin received from his boss and colleaques, asking him about work!!

i honestly love you

Maybe i hang around here
A little more than i should
We both know i got somewhere else to go
But i got something to tell you
That i never thought i would
But i believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you
I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you
I honestly love you

If we both were born
In another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here i am with mine
So i guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you
I honestly love you

I honestly love you
