Happy Holiday!!

Yeah!!! From this moment, start my 2 weeks holiday.

Not that very super excited but just feel good to be able to have some time really relax myself from working mode.

Anyway, to those who will be having holiday also, Happy Holiday and enjoy your holiday.

To all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

Company shut down eve

It is so quiet in my office now. I can clearly hear what everyone talking (phone or talking to colleagues) although they are sitting few tables from me.

Around me, in my section of abt 30 tables, there are only less than 5 people come to office. The colleague who sitting next to me told me that this is shut down eve syndrom. Haha...

Now, no mood to really do work. Feel like counting down to go back home. It's 940am now, which mean i still have 7 hrs and 50 minutes more to end my last day work of 2008. I am waiting...

Poll #4: which day of the week do you like most?

Thanks for my supporters who placed their votes in my poll #4. Sorry to all of you as this was not up for quite some time.

When I post this poll, I actually ask myself the question. Which day of the week do I like most? As I like to do nothing at home or do something with less usage of my mind, I like off day (Saturday and Sunday) the most. hehe....

Let's see. Most of the people like Saturday the most. Quite understandable as for most of the people(working or studying) including myself, our off days per week are on Saturday and Sunday. Thus, one can do whatever you want in Saturday and not to worry about any work or study on the next day. I am in this group. ;p;p

For those who like Sunday the most, I am not very sure are these people work 6 days per week. Or maybe they have very meaningful Sunday, or could it be Sunday is the only day of the week that they can do something special(like meet with someone they admire or blah blah blah... hehehe)?

As for Friday, I guess I know who vote this day. If my guess is correct, the reason he chose Friday is similar to why most people chose Saturday as his work day is Sunday to Thursday. Am I right?

The way I see the results is something from my personal view. I guess most people will prefer off/free/no work/no study day, at least I am. Thus, the only vote which I can't think of any reason is the vote for Tuesday. Anyone can guess of any reason? Well, some people may like a particular day (although not an off day) for some particular reason like they will do some particular thing or join particular an event or meet a particular person on that particular day.

I guess my life is just too dull that make me like off day the most or maybe I placed rest (mentally and physically) as my first priority in this routine life.

Searching SCSM 2008 result

What am I doing now?? I am suppose to complete some of my job related task now.

But, I am stilll lazy to start working on it.

Guess what, I am searching for Kennysia's full marathon result in Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008. What am I really doing? Sigh. Searching for someone's result yet I do not even know who this guy is. (except, I have read some of his blog as he is too famous as a blogger)

Completed 21.1km in 2:29:31 (chip time)

December 7, 2008, Sunday morning was a beautiful morning. (like what the DJ kept mentioning.)

About 12K runners gathering at esplanade waiting for the flag off to start their 21.1km journey, and I am one of them.

With the attire ready, warm up ready, MP3 ready, my journey started at 6:30:52 (gun start time is 6:30:28).

Back track a bit, although I was ready with all the attire, warm up and MP3, I was not mentally ready for the run. This is not my first half marathon. My first and second half marathon was the Penang Bridge Run when I was still in JSHS. For those two run, I was consistently training before the run. However, I was not running/jogging/training/exercising for more than 2 months (at least) before yesterday. I kept thinking of reasons/excuses to not to leave my bed for the 21.1km yesterday morning. Sigh. I must be crazy the moment I registered myself in this marathon.

Back to the run, even though I am not well prepared, I forced myself to start running, continue to run and complete it. It was just a waste to pay S$40++ just for the adidas singlet. Also, I think the DJ said something which is correct, it's the courage to start the run more important. (something like that. hehehe)

Anyway, I am glad that I started the run. I am also glad that I remember to bring my MP3 with me this time. 21.1km is just way too long. Remember that my colleague said last year that it was pretty boring to run 42.195km. I was not quite get her last year. However, I am truely understand what she meant with that after the run yesterday. I need to reconsider my intention to take part in full marathon next year.

After 2h 29m 31s, finally I reached the finishing point. hehe... not too bad result. But still, there are rooms for improvement. You can view my result here or here. But please do not compare me to the champion who completed in 1:17:42, ok?!

For the 42.195km finisher t-shirt, I'll consider to take part in full marathon next year or maybe a few more years later. Anyone wanna take part together?
