Breathing deep and slow

Em and I went to Shanghai and back more than 2 weeks ago. It was a good trip, a wonderful holiday, a meaningful getaway.

But since I've been back, I have found myself to be swamped with things to do and things to catch up on. Of course, work (quite packed now) to resume. So, I find myself only sitting down now to post this, and this is only after cutting out some materials that I'm gonna spend an hour or so pasting tomorrow evening.

I went for my first run about 1 week ago. The Great Eastern Women's Run. I was in it for the 5km Fun Run. Not fun at all.

Let me elaborate. Just a little. The run itself was alright. I even did better than my own expectation. 5km completed, without stopping, in 40mins. That's really not too bad, considering I haven't really trained for it. The ugly bit came later when I discovered something waiting to pour out of my mouth, from my gut, like the old stinky Merlion. I was super nauseous for the whole day!

Dehydration. That's the name. Took me almost 2 days to recover from that, and then another 4 days to nurse my tummy and appetite back.

Not too fun, I guess.

Last weekend was Soft Rock weekend. Again. One song. The Verve. The drugs don't work.

It was in JRC days that this song accompanied me plenty on the MRT rides. I'd blast it loud to get my depressed mood even more depressed. Somehow, there was something shiok in doing that.

So, when I heard that song again last Sat, over the airwaves, I kind of missed those MRT rides and the feeling of being so alone when I can sniff the perfume of the person standing beside. Ahhh... loved my ride.
