Woke up at 4:45 this morning and hopped on a cab to camp...god damn ride cost me $19.20. Should've stayed in the previous night! Oh well. At least I got to sleep on my own bed. haha. It was a welcome ceremony for some foreign general at MINDEF. Easiest ceremony ever. Especially since I was playing bass drum. People don't usually see how good you've got it when you're made to play bass. haha. They think the weight will kill them, but it's really the playing that counts. Nothing beats straight beats throughout a whole piece!

Anyway I thought I saw Priscilla Shi down at the holding area! I wasn't sure if it was really her so I didn't go over and say hi =.= She hasn't replied my msg yet, too. Is she really that busy in her army life?

Got back to camp, jammed a bit, then went off at around 3. I gave into temptation and stopped by TM to pick up an iPod Shuffle at the apple store. $78 poorer! I'd need it for the run later. I can't keep on running with my big ass psp whenever I need to run without an available buddy anyway.

Yeah, I felt the need to run today after stopping since Sunday. So today I tried something new. Usually I'd run from my house to Bedok, then bus back. Today, I ran back, with a little hydration break at PY in between. Managed to up my max to 15km, in about 1hr30mins.

Here's the route :

I saw a couple of interesting things along the way on the run to Bedok. First was this amazing looking girl who couldn't be much older than I was; she was running toward me on the long stretch along Expo. Looked at me with this pair of curious eyes...she was tanned and had this great pair of legs (well I'm sorry, I was running so I look at things from down-up, not up-down xD) I almost smiled; I think she did too. Hey, it's just a little courtesy between runners (though I could hardly consider myself a runner).

Next was along Chai Chee. There was this little indian boy holding an mp3 player running toward me, but stopped before we passed each other. He was staring at me and I returned the look with a raised eyebrow. haha. Must've scared the fella.

Speaking of Chai Chee, the slope up along the railway track up to the police station was a bitch to run.

Damned stock iPod earpiece sucks balls during running. It was like hanging on the edge of my ear, going to fall out, yet somehow still in place. I need to get a new earpiece...inner earphones. Going to cost me another bomb! great. =.=

I passed by the spot at the traffic light at the T junction near S-11 and the old folks' home on the way back...I couldn't stop staring at that particular spot for some reason. It was distracting, and before I knew it I was taken back. Way back.

"We're in public..."
"I don't care."

And my eyes just went damp. Lucky the green man came on and I could continue running before anything found its way out.

I didn't know it could still hurt like this.
