Because the sky is blue and the grass is green. Because ice cream is cold. Because some roads are paved. Because I sneezed. Because flowers are beautiful. Because the sun is out. Because you are you; and because I am I. Because. That’s why. Happy Birthday Lix!
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
"You should get out in the sun more," she said, "you're so fair." "Well," I replied, "I like to think of myself as fair. And balanced."
Parking against the traffic flow
I was just leafing through some of my old receipts when I came across a parking fine from about a week ago. The offence? "Parking against traffic flow". I was with Lix that day, and we had just finished our business with our bridal photography studio, picking out the photos that were to go into... Continue Reading →
2.4km Training Stalled — For Now…
After a tremendous lot of running for the past 90 days (I've been surprisingly focused in my training this time round), I've been forced to take a break due to an illness. Feels like flu, probably is. Maybe it's my body telling me that I'd been running too much too soon. It hurts quite a... Continue Reading →
Zeno’s Paradox of the Arrow
I just read about Zeno's paradox of the arrow about how if an the flight of an arrow is made up of many distinct points at which the arrow is at rest. Imagine if you could freeze time when the arrow was moving, then restart time and freeze it again a split second later. The... Continue Reading →

Baby Phone Toy Cursing (NSFW)
This is one very cool clip. Probably NSFW (not safe for work), though if you've got earphones (or some way of listening to the audio discretely) then it shouldn't matter.
Garmin Forerunner 305 in Singapore!
My Garmin Forerunner 305 arrived today! For the uninitiated, the Garmin Forerunner 305's a GPS watch. No, it's purpose isn't (like my mom thinks it does) to let me know where I am and how to get to where I want to go; rather, it's a running companion that tells me where I've gone and...

Life
A cluttered out leads to cluttered in; life's a swirl now of "what's next?" and "how come?" and "damnit get the f*** out of here!" and "leave me alone!"; but at the very same time it's got "ohmagawd this is great!" and a good "you serious?" and "wow." I sit at my desk plotting and... Continue Reading →
