February? Come again?
So the NUS Sports Club Biathlon's gonna be held on the 20th of February 2005. And I just went jogging again on Friday, 29th of October 2004. There's still 3 more months to go! That's 60km around NUS again and again and again. Phew.
Good news is, this time, I wasn't so winded, and neither did my stitches threaten to kill me until I was D-E-D dead, though the jog is still was a mind-over-matter thing for me. 40 minutes to get through the whole campus - not an improvement on time, but an improvement on survival rate. I think my breathing's still getting too heavy too soon, but I guess that will improve once the fitness level goes up. The body still looks the same though, but I have to confess that I don't feel so guilty now when I look at the pot belly. "Hey, at least I'm doing something about you instead of sitting on my fat ass the whole day," I tell it when it looks up at me and jiggles.
Oh! And today begins my final week at work. I have mixed feelings, of course, but the feeling of relief is most palpable. I don't think that management out there in other jobs are any better, but I'll be sure to at least find a job where there's actual career advancement opportunities for me, instead of shoving myself in some nook or cranny living from one paycheck to the next, waiting to die. Life is too short, and God gave up too much for me to be stuck in one corner fixing doors and benches, and calling up repairmen and toilet cleaners. No sir. Let some other person who actually wants to do estate management do this crap. I'm packing up my youthful idealism (no, no, they can't take that away from me) and taking this show on the road - all the way to Boon Lay (and a shuttle bus), that is. Is it bad karma to apply for a job at Microsoft? :-)
