And So Da Next Paycheck Goes to...Running shoes!It's funny how I just love to take long walks at lunch hr. Away from the stuffy& constricted office. Away from all da maddening paperwork. Although it's very warm outside, somehow I feel refreshing. Imagine, da distance from National Stadium & Kallang MRT is so far away. There used to be a shortcut through the PA (People's Association) but there's no longer a gate that we can cut through to get to da stadium. I have to walk some distance, cross a bridge, walk to the far end, dunno what place it's called but there's a river where people always go canoeing (or is it kayak-ing, uh... I forgot which is which, SERIOUS), then turn to da left & walk, turn right & walk some more, reach the PA (at last), and finally get to Kallang MRT! After that, just buy cigarette only. Irritating rite?? Colleagues has been asking me to join em for lunch or evening runs... but I turned them down cos I have no shoes. It's damn pathetic now, considering that I used to be rather sporty & carefree at school. Da 1 time I really got crazy with shoes when I was with ITE Balestier. Converse high-cut shoes used to be very 'in' among da students there... girls wear what they like be it colorful or not... & we frequently wear pants to school rather than da (again) constricted skirts. It was irritating whenever I tried to bend down and tie ma shoelaces da boys would look, so I simply gave up on da school skirt. I used to be a huge fan of Reeboks shoes too. And sporty bags. How I miss those times...I've surfed Reeboks, Adidas & Nike sites but so far I have not fallen in love with any shoes they showcased in da sites :(. Even did an analysis on what kind of shoe is best for me but I think I really have to SEE & FEEL them before I could fall in love with them. Hey, after all we're talking abt shoes... not men.And what am I doing here? I'm still up sorting out da database for Singapore Marathon which I'm handling. Only reached home from work at 12.20am, eat, bathe & hit da comp. How I wish I could finish these like, ASAP. I'm so tired... really mentally tired. Tired of da stupid last-minute people who die-die want to register when it's already C-L-O-S-E-D. Like their lives depend on it. It causes a lot of delay & exasperation on ma team when we're already so rushed for deadlines.... To people who still think of emailing us just to 'make oneee laaaast exception' like u always wrote in your subject headers, I can only tell u two words, forget it. I don't mean to be rude, just being blunt. We need to handover all da FINAL database of runners for da production of runner's & finisher's shirt, champion chips, runner's bib and also for the Race Entry Pack Collection. It all have to start already. As much as we had been trying to make provisions for 11th hour registrants before, I hope u people can be understanding towards our situation on our admin side of things too.Ok I'm slacking off already. If I keep on blah blah blah-ing I'm gonna fall asleep rite here. AND I MUST KEEP AWAKE to carry on with ma work :(. Gotta dash for now.*Haiz ngantuk nyer....PS: If u noticed, I've not updateD ma archives. Pardon me for da slip-shordness, will get ma butt to it when I'm more 'clear'. Too weary & sleep-deprived to deal with even small amounts of HTML stuff.. and as if I have a lot of time.
