yippee!! we came in 15 out of 30 relay teams!! we did better than expected, haha.. i did my bike leg in 1hr 30mins 5sec, which is the 17th among the bikers..

and my passion for cycling has once again been rekindled.. went cycling today after coming home early after work. and i'm gonna start training on my swim soon, once i figure out the best time and place to train.. =)

open house is this weekend. was hoping for my frens to take a look at my working environment, and to see what i'm passionate abt. but it seems that the venue is a bit of a turn-off, and it seems too "propaganda-ish" for some pple.. haiz...

Oakley City Duathlon 2007

what a race! the many bends turned out to be an advantage for me. being on a road bike, i have a better turning radius than tri-bikes, haha.. 40km was easier than expected, though i would have enjoyed the race better if i had been well prepared for it. i could say that i'm busy at work etc etc.. but i know it's all excuses, i'm just plain lazy and ill-disciplined.. oh well, hope it won't be the same on 28th jul..

and there's no goodie bag! was hoping for some discount vouchers for oakley sunglasses. but there isn't anything at all.. hmm, thank God my cousin is going US next week. i need a pair that can stick to my head better than my current one. and just in time for my next race =)

p.s. my fren says we could have finished in the top 30, hee..

what a wonderful day.. was being a runner at the opening ceremony of IMDEX Asia, at singapore expo. put in charge of seating plan.. was rather uneventful, untill i was assigned to follow an entourage as they tour the exhibition hall. didn't expect that i would be going in, so i was rather excited, hee.. and there were only 2 entourage, i followed the minister of state. at the beginning it was rather messy, so i was left with CDS while my senior officer went to look for the rest. he was a rather surprisingly humorous person, delightful to be with. hit off quite well with him, so i followed him most of the time after that. also partly becos he likes to roam around to talk to pple and collect brouchures, so i have to make sure he's not left behind.. and i'm glad he discussed the exhibits with me, rather than just treat me as a junior officer. maybe my humble opinions will be of use when he's planning for the future of the navy, or even the armed forces, hehe..

i do something dangerous almost everyday

i drive to work.

finally, i'm not several steps behind everyone else anymore.. i remember getting a camera phone many yrs after pple have grown tired of clicking and snapping around.. asking around how to use bluetooth.. starting a blog when the fad is dying.. and i actually bought a second-hand discman last yr!! haha..

vista is super cool!! and i love my workspace at home!! took me a bit of time and effort to build it up. but now i have a proper table to work on. it was so fun assembling the furniture together. my table, cpu holder, my drawer unit, etc etc.. my old lamp from hostel complements perfectly the matching magazine holder and paper organizer. and my black LCD monitor looks so sleek and deadly. not to forget the mini-flag to showcase my patriotism.. =)

i knew it! as predicted, it will be the dream final this season!!

and it's so cool watching the video stream on soccernet.espn.go.com with my new comp.. no lag whatsoever, and the picture quality is so crisp!! love my new desktop! hee..

finally, my own personal workspace at home!!

took me 3 trips to ikea, 1 trip to IMM, 1 trip to v.hive, and many days of pondering.. b4 i finally settled on a white table top with adjustable legs.. no particular reason for the adjustable legs, just that this model allows for some add-ons. i put a CPU holder under the table, and bought a drawer with casters. though i haven't assembled that yet, quite worn out from assembling the table, haha.. bought matching file holder and paper organiser, and dusted my old table lamp, which happens to fit into the overall colour coordination.. hee...

hmm, but i'm still lacking in some stuff.. i have my mini singapore flag, and a calendar from subaru. but i still need a stationery holder, a writing top, a better chair, and maybe a magnetic board/notice board.. gotta make another trip soon.. hee...

the shopping mall of the month is...

...any capitaland mall!! cos i have 3hrs free parking.. hee... these include plaza sing, funan, tamp mall, IMM, junction 8, clarke quay, etc etc.. valid for the whole month of may. happy happy =)
