Pure

"Running provides a great time and space for thinking. Non-runners believe the activity is a strenuous physical one, a strain on the heart and legs. But we runners know different.

Once we're in shape, the heart and legs excuse themselves, and we become almost pure mind as we run. Away from our desks, monitors, keyboards, phones and meetings, we run on autopilot, and there's nothing else to do but ... think."

Currently, squeezing time to do some light reading. actually not every light. This quote is from a book I just bought from amazon, "Running & Philosophy- a marathon for the mind".

deep aye? haha

But I am rediscovering the pure pleasure and the simple enjoyment from running: the self-drive and the self-discipline to put on a pair of running shoes and head out for a run, no baggage, no agenda. Just pure enjoyment.

I am a Purist.

track intervals for the past couple of weeks peppered with 6 to 8 km tempo runs.

Just do it.

Communication

things happened today.
makes me reflect on my ways of doing things
Communication is really my biggest area for improvement
I might have good ideas, sound principles
but all will be void if I didn't communicate well
buy in won't be there.

mmm... looking back, are things getting on my nerves?
am I transferring my "nervyness" towards what I do and say?
Looking back,
I tend to "talk" down to people
occupational hazard?

nay, it is a bad habit I need to be very conscious.
Those who know or who have "interacted" with me,

Don't you agree? 8-)

To Change people's/my attitude, I must first change within, change myself, my own behaviour.

Reflection is good, action now!

Buzz

Life at the moment is like a buzz
time really flies and another weekend is approaching
watched the girls vball semi-finals
did another 7 km run in the hot late afternoon sun
in the evening attended a very inspiring talk
Shall blog more later.

I am getting older by the second.

Truth

I think only America can think of reality shows like Moment of Truth. I was watching this game show while reading and oh man, what a weird show and how blatant the contestants can be to wash the dirty laundry in public just for money?!?

But I must say this show really explores the voyeuristic nature of people and our desire to prise into others' privacy and lives. And this show really epitomises the ugly side of Man when things become materialistic.

I think some secrets shld remain as secrets, that's why it is called secret. To me, there is no open secret.

weird show. I shall go and plow on my reading.

go federer!

Currently chasing the Australian Open through internet.

Justine lost. 8-(

But go Federer! 8-)

Shld I subscribe to Sports Cable channel?

Federer won!
wow! Master in action.

Relationships

face to face communication is getting tougher.
is it a social phenomenon?
hiding behind the veil of technology,
email, facebook, twitter, myspace, blogger...
assuming the identity of anonymosity,
putting into black and white,
negative comments, flaming, vulgarities, hate groups,
and emails devoid of human emotions
and basic courtesy.
such cowardly acts.
perhaps, it is the unidirectional nature of such technology.
Are we human?

改变

“在这世界上有些事物会改变，有些事物是永远不会改变的”

tired

tired.

3 days of inactivity other than work.
Need to exercise tomorrow.



I like this song, kindaf mirrors my mood, lazy and laid back.
