:: on the move ::

The evening run with the new running shoes.


(Asics are having 25% discount. While I was checking out for 'lawa tak lawa', the man will tell me all about comfort and cushioning, which I still don't understand.)

Route (to) :
Bukit Panjang - Teck Whye - Bukit Gombak MRT.
Time taken : 33 mins 48 scnds.

Rest : (walking breather)
Bukit Gombak MRT - Bukit Batok Driving centre
Time taken : 16 mins 12 scnds.

Route (fro) :
Bukit Batok Driving centre - Teck Whye - Bukit Panjang
Time taken : 24 mins 36 scnds.

Quite a bad timing, I must say; took my own sweet time completing the route.
The funny part was that, on the way back, I bumped into the man who was also going for his evening run along the road from Teck Whye to Bukit Batok. (though both of us knew we were going fr our runs, we always took different routes).
Then we were going, 'BYYYYYYYYYYY!'.

I still need some time to gain back my stamina before I start training with the man again.
But truth is, I was enjoying my personal running time since I borrowed Brother's cool headphones which blast songs like a stereo system & you sort of feel like you are in your own R&B club.

Now I have a few routes in mind to complete before I join the man.
Bukit Panjang - Dairy Farm Road - Bukit Panjang.
Bukit Panjang - Teck Whye - Chua Chu Kang Park.
Bukit Panjang - Bukit Timah Road - Bukit Panjang.


Calls from friends screaming in excitement about their crossover reminded me of the day I received the big A4 brown envelope - offer for admission.
It's been a year & I can still recall my 'surreal' expression.
And I keep telling my peers who asked me what is expected of them to get the crossover to stop expecting.
For it's not easy to tell who will be admitted since I just learned that apart from your performance in NIE, the board also takes into account your previous results (O, A Levels & Poly) & there are many hidden criteria that we are, well, not very aware of.

Down memory lane, as I was clearing my folder, I chanced upon a note. On it, was the man's email address.
The very first time I saw him during my registration, where he was giving out SLC t-shirts & I was using a very cheap line that went, 'Erm, how can I join SLC?' (knowing that he was the president). He, cheekily smiled, and wrote me his email address. Which I did email to but the smart ass didn't reply.
What luck, I saw him again two months later - purely coincidental or is it fate? Haha.




Some random shots of surroundings & the coffee shop that I dragged the man to for breakfast.
