Just to keep this alive. 

Some say I should not care since it's only national service and focus on what's after. But for now I have reasons to care.

The date of ORD is very very far away.

Meanwhile, I'll just have to go through these motions day-in, day-out and remain patient.

And most importantly, hope and pray that nothing bad happens during the next 16 months.

What's with my sudden interest in running and participating in these runs?

I guess it's because I have a really long way to go in NS and I need to create something to look forward and something to work towards. It wouldn't be healthy if I just stay bored, hate my mundane life and simply look forward to getting my pay at the end of every month.

In a nutshell, I need to spice up my life but in a healthy and positive way of course.

But most importantly, I'm running frequently because I need to lose weight. Never have I once imagined myself being paranoid about my weight. Stomach is growing so big I'm trying to stop it before I end up looking like a pregnant man.

Killing two birds with one stone I might say.

First event: April 17th, Run 350, 10km.

Having said that, it's only 11:30pm on a friday night and I'm going to bed 'cos I'm planning to go for a run tomorrow morning.

With regards to my previous post, i may have to change my plans on buying a game that expensive.

I have found something else more fulfilling.

• Sundown Marathon - 28th May - 10km

• Standard Chartered Marathon - 4th Dec - 22.1km

Gonna sign up for both of these and it's weird how such events can cost quite a lot of money. Paying money to participate in an event that requires you to torture yourself by running.

Yep recently I have started the habit of going jogging. I have realised the need to exercise after i realise (pun intended) that I am starting to have a fat tummy.

If I stay true to these two targets I'm gonna stay lean and not end up like Sergeant Dollah.

I've been getting fatter over the past 3 months.

I think I've given up trying to get nice abs or a nice body.

Or should I say, I've given up on a lot of things in life.

Bloody hell. Must you be so pretty?!
