I signed a contract on Friday with HSA’s Medical Device Regulation Branch on Friday. Woots… Good start to a career as far as I see it. Something I wanna try my hands at. Just gotta find time to run, for freinds and family to have a work-life balance. Then life’s perfect! =)
So… as of now, I’m a government empolyee.
On a totally unrelated note, I found a new show that’s I really wanna watch! Quick Gun Murugan. It’s about a tamil vegetarian cowboy who’s after Rice Plate Reddy – his nemesis who wants to make a non-veg masala dosai. He better ‘Mind It!’
Here’s the trailer:
And the title song… ‘Tamil Bhangra’ by Mika.
And the rubbish that got Kayne West called a ‘Jackass’ by Obama! Haha…
Of a post! Well, obviously, nothing much is happenning in my life so there’s nothing much to write anyway.
But I’ve been upto a few things recently… except job hunting of course. I’m off to India for a good month on the 7th. The tickets are super duper cheap – 160 with everything in! Tiger Air rocks! Can’t wait to see mum and dad after so damn long! =)
A few of us went blading last Wed. Pearl and Yuen Ling have been trying to organise but the weather kept playing games with them. But it was great weather on Wed and off we went! The turn out was pretty good and was fun hanging out after blading with a bunch of cool frenz!

The two champs who’re on their way to Olympic Glory
And the two Lance Armstrongs – who picked 2 wheels over 8
Oooh… I bought a new pair of running shoes. I wanted to just go and check out the prices and the stuff but since Yams got his tennis racquet re-strung, Eliza and Vin got new racquets, I didn’t want to be the only one left ou in the shopping spree! So here goes my new running shoes. I havn’t tried them on a run though so I can’t comment. They’re still being heavily appreciated for their beauty in my living room. =p (The though of which kinda made Eliza cringe thinking I’m weird… OEY! I’m not the only weird one. You are too!)
My new Mizuno Wave Rider 12s
I went out for dinner with Winston and Joanne again on Friday! They’re a fantastic couple to hang out with! They not only keep poking fun at each other but also very open in a comical way that makes you comfortable to talk about many issues (esp young parenthood, marriage, marriage proposals??) that I have no one to ask about! We literally had to be chased out fo the resturaunt.
Sunday’s Passion Run was freaking awesome! Although I was feeling weird and perpetually tired, I finally managed to break the shit cycle and psycho myself to run at full blast for 15km – the longest, fastest brutal push I’ve ever done – 15km in 1hr 16min 02 secs.
Went for some Tennis training with Eliza, Vin and my Shifu – Yammy. Thanks for taking so much time off to teach me the basics Yams. He’s a fantastic coach – critiqing, correcting and giving continuous feedback all through the two hours. Vin – sorry about the NASA action and rockets flying off man! Haha… sheesh! I owe you 4 tennis balls woth of tea now! Eliza… Haha.. you owe me Ben and Jerry’s – half a tub!
My Asics Gel Kayano are about to retire soon – 30th May 2009 after 42.195km. Amazingly, I have worn out the shoes i bought in min Jan – with over 1000km in this short period of time! Sheesh! The training better be worth it on Race Day next Sat night.
Time to SUIT UP! and watch ‘How I Met Your Mother’! =p
Something I heard from the speaker on Monday. A simple and powerful one liner telling people to be humble in life… especially during job interviews… cuz..
“Bluntly speaking, nobody misses you. You’ve really gotta get that into your head. NOBODY misses you”
