Status Update - Randomisation of Life
I'm not writing in a flow. I'm just blogging down items which I think of during the past few months....
My status as a frequent blogger has decline greatly. My life has become so stagnant that I'm just weaving through my days with a routine. The weekends are usual until for today.
It's surprising that everyone's saying they have no plans for today, yet they're out with hey own groups of friends. I not too sociable and so I decided to stay home and laze in my bed. I decided to take part in the Adidas Sundown Marathon. I never ever ran more than 10km before but it's tempting after hearing that my friends did marathons before. As one of my friend said, it's all about determination. I believed in that as he's not a frequent jogger yet he completed last year's Sundown & Standard Charter marathon.
The exciting part is that I'm running with my boss and 2 colleagues and they aren't marathoners as well. We're trying to fork out time after work to jog together and it has been successful. Yesterday, we jogged from Carpark C4 at East Coast Park to The National Sailing Club and back. I'm not sure of the distance but I'm estimating it to be between 8km to 10km. I haven't been running much but I'm contented I managed to endure the distance without and difficulty. The aftermath is that my kneecaps are hurting. I guess I didn't warm down properly after the run but well, I'm looking forward to the next run next week.
December was supposed to be a month of relaxing and it somehow got me into a shutdown mode at work. January's here so I better buck up and hopefully I see something in my career advancement. I've been hinting to my boss for a pay raise but with the bad economy, I should just remind myself that it's lucky I'm not getting axed. Phew!
The trip to Thailand for the 2009 crossover was fantastic. I was getting complains that I keep sleeping so valuable is wasted on sightseeing. I don't get to sleep for more than 8 hours now especially on weekdays.
My darling company is shutting down again for CNY and we're forced to take leave again. Great, I have no plans to travel out so I'll stay in Singapore and laze around home, stuffing myself with the sinful food.
My eczema is worsening as time goes by and it's frustrating. How many people in the world understands that it's incurable. How many people know that it's not on us that we choose to scratch to deal with the itch. How many people know that no matter how we keep ourselves clean or abstain from certain foods, it's never enough to prevent rashes from coming out.
On the other hand, I've stumbled friends who have the same condition as well and I'm learning from them to reduce the condition. It's comforting to find out that I'm not alone and those without my condition tries they best not to question why I have so many tiny open wounds on my arms, neck and legs. They're encouraging me to wear T shirts instead of shirts to cover up but I'm not used to the stares from strangers who keep looking and my skin. I feel vulnerable and naked. I do wear T - shirts only when the condition is not as terrible. It's very random as I don't know which nights I'll be scratching hard and which nights I won't. Every morning, I deal with the problem of blood stained bedsheets and dried skin from the wounds.
I never did a X'mas brunch before and it was fabulous although food was mediocre. It's the joy of sitting at the table and mingling with friends, exchanging presents. I didn't receive much presents this year, I only got two presents but I can't use one so I gave it away. My best friend got married and I'm guilty as I haven't passed her the present I made for her. I spent time doing it and it's only 50% done. I know I'm slow but I'm trying my best before she comes back from her honeymoon in Japan.
I'm a facebook addict. I log in to Facebook daily just to play games. It's idiotic because my friends would rather chat by sending messages to my inbox rather than MSN. It's worse when they organise gatherings, dinners via the event application. I know its convenient but they need to realise not everyone logs into Facebook daily like me.
I'm not sure when I'll blog the next entry again but I'll find time soon.
