Another Epiphany

I was reading the papers when I got this one. Oooo... I tremble with excitement just at the very thought of planning out my next course of action...

Packed Packed Year

I honestly haven't gotten down to much work since the conclusion of the Ironman 70.3 race on Sunday. The afterthoughts are still flowing and it feels as if I have just finished the race and still cooling down. I seriously hope to get some work don after this very post and some breakfast. (Yes I just woke up and yes... I missed the 8 a.m. class despite sleeping at 11.30 p.m.) I was just browsing through my calender and I realized that 2009 will be the year where I will travel like I have never... EVER... traveled before. Not taking into consideration the rides to Malaysia and the planned diving trip sometime in August, I will be heading to Zurich for an Ironman race followed by a month long tour of Europe. I will then head back continue with the 1st semester of my 2nd year before heading of to Florida in November :D. It will be a pretty pretty packed year ahead with lots of exciting races coming up for me. I am just hoping to bring my fitness level to new heights with a little more perseverance and discipline. I have some pretty darn good role models around and its best I get started following them. Below are just snippets of the races I will be taking on before this year is out. Great Races, New Experiences and Excellent Friends... What a blast its going to be :D. Now back to... that monetary model... :(

"So the next time you have a crappy race or training session and then have to get up for a session the next day it's raining, remember we have all had these days and the champions are made right there on the mornings when you want nothing more then to sleep a little longer." - from Lemin's Blog :) 

A thousand words.

Alright... I spent today strolling up and down Orchard road with my new joy, a Nikon D70. I am a greenhorn to photography so I kinda realized that in the process of fiddling around with the aperture and shutter speed, I kinda screwed up a lot of the shots... anyway here are those which I think turned out rather decent for a newbie :)

The guy didn't make it... It's sad I know :)

So this is my first attempt and I would love to hear what you think of the photos.... Feel free to tag a comment here or in the text box...

Another one bites the dust...

In the mere blinking of an eye, another weekend has come and gone, just like that. Spent the early afternoon gymming before heading over to my aunt's place to tutor her two kids. Dinner at Ikoi, Miramar Hotel was excellent as usual. 

As the new academic year looms ahead, my honeymoon too will soon draw to a close. The rest so far has far exceeded my expectations. I do regret not traveling to the nether regions of this crapy world of ours but I guess I did in some way make up for that by having a whale of a time in the little red dot :) 

Anyway... I have taken the first step on what I hope will be a long and fruitful journey in time to come... It's just that I can't seem to find the ledge for my next step yet... oh well :) 

“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.” 

- Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

I am just hoping that this journey will last past the first step... 

Its the Final Countdown!!!!

21 in 4 days time. I have been pretty much immersed in a flurry of activities these few weeks... an increased workload and immense amounts of party planning... I just hope everything turns out alright in the end. :P 4 days...

I started doing the YMCA Dress ups from a very young age...
