I turned 45 years old last Friday. The past 5 years have been good. I don't think I was feeling like this when I turned 40 :P



This is what I'm currently reading. Love the wacky perspective this guy has on work and the world. One of the topic headings that speaks to me deeply is titled:
Doing the Unrealistic is Easier Than Doing the Realistic
Yeah. That's why I'm doing 42 @ 45 :p
I also concur with the following statement of his:
The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?"
This is an Amphipod Velocity - Full Tilt technology. Mine's blueish with black floral design. Nice. Best part is it works really well. It's a 20 oz Hydrofoam bottle. No bounce. No swooshing of water. I believe it may be the only one in Singapore :) Got the relatives to bring it in this past summer from USA. Fits my phone, car key, plasters & coins. Wanted to squeeze in a small hand towel but that was pushing it :P
21 days to 10.10.10 and 75 days to 5.12.10. Current status - severely out of condition. Still suffering from yesterday's 1st Team Fatbird Operation Sunbird training. Plan was to do 24km. Only managed 13km after U-turn at F2 carpark. Weird took me 1 hr 20 mins to get there but only 1 hr to get back......so I knew my distances were off. But it was nearly 8am when started so I was really roasting away. Legs are aching. Not as bad as on Sat 11.9.10 when I did a longish run - to Botanics via Clementi. Was too excited in the morning so didn't eat anything and we had to wait nearly an hour for everyone to gather - like 150 fatbird trainees. Nice bunch. Looking forward to it. Kinda like the Joyriders. So these are my Big Hairy Audacious Goals for the remainder of 2010. Have to figure out a way to pick up my pace :P
