The future missus said she was proud of me, and you know what? I'm plenty proud myself. So here's the IPPT result slip that I still keep in my wallet to remind me that I've still got what it takes 🙂 I had made it a point to try to keep a diary or record... Continue Reading →
Today, I was going through Facebook and looking at the profiles of friends and friends-of-friends. Looking through some of the most bad boy/bad girl profiles, I couldn't help but think what if? In my mind I'm more good boy than bad. It could have been so different though. I remember when I was in Perth,... Continue Reading →
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!
"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."
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 →
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 →

I sit at my desk plotting and... Continue Reading →
I haven't written here for so long I think it's probably time for me to write something, eh? Just to let you know (if by any chance you're interested) I just recently got back from Taiwan where Lix and I got our pre-wed photos taken. You wouldn't believe how different Lix looked on that day,... Continue Reading →
On my right, an open patch of grass with varying heights, with trees scattered randomly; leaves bustled as an impatient wind waltzed past. A beautiful pre-sunset sky provided the perfect backdrop. (Hot as it was outside, I was in air-conditioned goodness.) For a few seconds I lost myself. Perhaps this is what it's like to... Continue Reading →
These past few days I've been engrossed by Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. It's made me want to be a scientist, and a little of an activist and politician. Prior to that I was reading Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, a wonderful book given... Continue Reading →
