'L' is for Lucas and Lucas is feeling lucky...
Hahaha...
1 million and 1 reasons to be happy each day just as long as i dont think about work..
Lets see..
i went and collected my goodie bag yesterday. It has gotten bigger over the years, i remember, it started out as a shoe bag 5 years back but what i got yesterday was much like a sports bag.
The only reason that i can think of for that is becoz the registration fee has risen from $30 to close to $40 this year.. =(
This year's winning number!! =)
My bib number has gotten larger over the years too. In fact, years ago, my 1st bib number was in the 3000++ series.
The only reason that i can think of for that is becoz the registration fee has risen from $30 to close to $40 this year and they have spent the bulk of it advertising.
When i peep into my bag...to check out the goodies...
Chk out what i found..
The only reason that i can think of for that is becoz i've been a good boy whole year round and Santa decides to reward me early... santa knows that i will be a good boy from now on and has decided to reward me for my good deeds..
Hahhah.... My very first expensive 'sporty' watch. I absolutely love it. hahaha.. although i wish it came in my fav red or pink color
PKH, thanks for being my Santa! =)

Now it seems its my bloody fault that i am so good with what i do... =(
So much so that i have to go back on sat to work?
On the bright side, i ran twice in a day yesterday. Always wanted to try this since years ago. This is exactly how the full time runners train. Run once in the morning and again in the evening.
Im proud to say that my legs are aching and my knees are close to the point of breaking. But im feeling really good. hahahh... Now, i just have to go through the mandatory rest period for the last week to prep for the big run.
Oh well,
I hate myself for being so good. i meant running.. hahahaha....

About 17 years ago, a little boy came up to me and showed me his new leather wallet.
He was very excited and exclaim to me that his dad just brought it for him. He even offered to let me have a sniff of the wallet. Even though he has left that wallet in his backpocket and his shorts most prob havent been washed for 2 days, i accepted the offer.
I even said 'YAYA...its real leather. See, it even has the word 'ge-ne' leather on it!!
I really wanted the words to come out as 'Genuine'.
Yesterday, i met him again.
It was his big day. It was his wedding.
I had tears in my eyes during the solemnization. There is the same boy whom i knew since i was 10... and now, hes all grown up and getting a family of his own.
Oh well...
I'll wait patiently for my turn and hopefully, someone in the crowd sheds a tear or two for me during my solemnization.
With divorce rate skyrocketing, it would be really nice if we can have a fairy tale of our own. With age catching up and most of my friends married, it sometimes makes me wonder when my little princess would come along. Yesyes, that one little tree that makes me wanna give up the rest of the forest, the one person who gives me a reason to foresake others.. I've already found her.=)
Anyway..
I love happy occasions. =)
For my dearest readers, here are some shots i took yesterday. Errrmm...try not to strain ur eyes on the bridemaids.. hahaha...
AM I pretty or what? Hahaha... Kidding! Cool huh....
Before we got saboed... =p
We've got thebribe bride. hahaha.... Believe me, the shot looks good but it was not a pleasant ride. The sun was super hot and they were driving behind some lousy SBS bus. Me? I drove his dad's volvo...turbo, no less. =p I had fun...hahahah...
Oh yes, i didnt forget to take photo even though i was on the verge of choking on my tears...
Weiming has found his true love.. and after searching the entire day, among all his friends and all her friends...
Im glad to announce that i have found my true love too... It wasnt easy but the wait was sure worth it...

Im short sighted.
Ever since i was 10, i had to wear glasses to overcome my short sightedness..
Over the years, i have trained myself to see things without my glassess. Alot of people attribute this to my vain-ness but really, its not.
I dun like to wear glasses because they are troublesome and i didnt wanna go into contacts becoz i didnt like poking my eyes. hahah...
In fact, over the years, i became very acustomed to life without glasses. I was able to live normally without glasses. After awhile, i got so good at it that i didnt need my glasses anymore. I could see faraway objects without much probs.
There was only one prob. To see far objects, i have to focus really hard on them. Yes, i need to focus my attention before i can see objects that are placed far away.
By doing so, i lost sight of the things around me. I spent lots of attention on things that were far away but lost focus on the immediate things around me.
This lead me to trip and fall over myself. I got cuts and i got bruised. Each time i fall, i began to doubt myself and feel clumsy. =(
After a couple of falls, i finally realise the prob. I've simply been too caught up with things that was beyond my sight and neglected my immediate surrounding. I've been neglecting the things that impacts my life and as a result, i end up hurting myself and the people i trip over.
I've decided to finally start wearing glasses... I no longer bother focusing on things that are far away becoz i see them with ease now. And i havent had a fall for the longest time becoz i am giving due attention to my surroundings.
If i knew that glasses was so good for me, i would have worn them from day 1... who wants to have a leg full of scars?
'The wounds on my leg would heal but the scars would always remain.. Not that i mind becoz they will serve as good reminders of how stupid i was to think that i can see without my glasses..'

Recently, the world was crumbling for alot of people.
Oil prices were surging..
Sale forecast for alot of major companies were in the pits...
As such, the world market was plunging.. Lots of people lost money for punting in speculative counters in the market.Serve them right...
And so i decided to save the world...
"NEW YORK : Wall Street roared back from four rocky sessions on Tuesday as sentiment was lifted by stronger-than-expected earnings from retail giant Wal-Mart and a sharp drop in crude oil prices."
Yes yes... my sun tan lotion, vitamins, multiple loaves of bread, moisturiser and dove soap contributed to Wal-Mart's strong earning...
Its all explained in the 'Butterfly Effect'...
Hahahah...why am i not surprise?

Im feeling very smart.
Months ago, i anticipated that i would run into probs with my marathon training. In fact, knowing myself so well, i knew i was going to be too caught up with work and socializing to train properly for the upcoming run.
So being the very smart me, i decided to apply leave from work to run..
Very wasteful? Naaa...Not when i have to sell 7 days of my leave last year and still have trouble clearing my remaining 14 days of leave. (Last i checked, i still have 2 days of leave from year 2006 which i have to clear somewhere in the next 1.5 months...)
I was feeling very smart yesterday when i even told my boss....
'Sir, I wont be able to run through thursday's presentation with you.. Im on leave tomorrow becoz i need to run...'
But...im no longer feeling very smart...
WHY?

I really just wanted to get my fix of today's news... but...
"
Two guys are in a locker room when one guy notices the other guy has acork in his ass.
He says, "How'd you get a cork in your ass?"
The other guy says, "I was walking along the beach and I tripped over a lamp. There was a puff of smoke, and then a red man in a turban came oozing out. He said, "I am Tonto, Indian Genie. I can grant-um you one wish."
And I said, "No shit."

Hahaha..... Im going for meeting again. Need to pack my long run in today somewhere. Just haven figure out where yet. =p

Ever miss something so much but dont realise it?
Only for it to come rushing back to you when you experience it again?
On my recent 'short' trip to US, i didnt realise how much i miss mama's cooking and mama's nagging until i came home.
In fact, i spent 2 whole days staying at home after i returned to hear her nag at me...
Its lousy becoz she will go through the same thing over and over again and after awhile, u will wonder why u miss it so much while you were away... hahaha....
Its one of the wonders in my life that i most prob will never understand but im loving it..
The same goes for alot of other things in my life.
i wonder if its the same for every one else.. =)
Oh well, Happy Posts ahead...

I was never a good swimmer. Most of the time, i struggle to keep afloat in water...
But never would i have thought that i would struggle so badly on land too.. Im just feeling so inedequate.
Help Help....im drowning.
I opened my email yesterday to find myself being arrowed to do a brief next thurs. This is way too short a time for me to prepare anything and i have so much other stuff that requires my attention. =(
Im so tempted to march up to my boss and tell him that im struggling to cope... This is obviously a double edged sword. I'll most prob be viewed as incapable.
hahah...
Life is all about decisions.
The one that im staring at rite now is

My friend of 6 years has finally took the courage to step out of his comfort zone and venture into the open.
He was tied to a lousy job for the past 2.5 years and was under alot of shit from his boss..
Speaking of which, Im tied to a lousy job for the past 2.5 years.... And since, im still very much stuck for the next 3.5 years, i shouldnt even think of looking for another job.
Life is sad when i look at myself... =(
On the bright side, I didnt run today. My body is recovering...
hahah...
*As you can see, my posts are so incoherent these days..i wonder why.

I was running through my collection of very real DVDs...when i came upon my WWE collection of 'Most Significant Fights'.
One of them belong to Hulk Hogan. Hahahah.....It was a match of Hogan Vs Randy Orton.
Omg..The hair on my back is standing becoz of the song...
I AM A REAL AMERICAN!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,

I was watching 'A Sound of Thunder' from my vast collection of very authentic and genuine DVDs..
Hidden behind on the action sequences and plot.. was a very distinct msg, THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT.
I dont know how many of you have watched the movie. It was afterall a B grade movie without my fanfare. But when i search the net, i realise that 'The butterfly effect' has a mass following.
In fact, it was listed in Wikipedia.
"The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system.
So this is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.
The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different." - Adopted from Wikipedia
So the question is..
Have i done anything in the past to deserve what im going through today? Most probably..
