I am alive!

And I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. So bad that you ought to have me on your lap so that you can give me some good spanking. But we both know that you don’t want that to happen so let’s just pass.

Work and life has been keeping me really busy and I really find it hard to update this space of mine. I won’t say ‘sorry’ because I don’t owe you guys any updates and I won’t promise anything because I probably won’t fulfil any as well.

Some PR agencies have probably given up on me as well because I’ve been attending events and have not been sharing my experiences even though I enjoyed most of it. So much for being in the social media scene and not practising what I preach. Even KuKuNehNeh nags at me about those posts.

My health has been really bad for the last 2-3 months and it pretty much killed the biggest event that I was looking forward to for the year. I had to give the Standard Chartered marathon a miss as my fitness level was not up to mark with all the flu and cough that plagued me like no tomorrow. I have however not given up at running my first marathon and I have signed up for next year’s Adidas Sundown marathon for the 21km event to prepare me for the Standard Chartered marathon at the end of 2010.

I am in the midst of stabilizing the priorities in life and deciding on the next big thing. There is something quite unsettling about turning 28 this Christmas and wondering why I haven’t been able to say, “This is what I want to do for the next 30 years.” My laid back personality is probably the cause of this uncertainty and I’d like to think that it’s high time I find what I want to do for the next chapter in my life before I can confidently ask someone to spend the rest of her life with me.

“Good things come to those who wait…”

So… happy waiting for my next blog post!

Meanwhile, catch me on and where I update much more frequently!

Yeah I know I haven’t been up to my usual self with regards to blogging and boring most of my usual readers with enthusiasm for my marathon training. Weird that I am seeing lesser funny, blog-worthy stuffs around. Either the weird situations have left me or I have been too busy sweating it out and being too high on adrenaline to notice the rest of the world slipping on banana peels and falling on their faces.

On the positive end of things, my knees are starting to get used to the idea of running 30km a week and I can feel my fitness levels rising steadily. It’s still a long way to beating the fitness level I had when I was 20-22 years of age but I believe that I can overcome that very soon if I keep at what I am doing. It’s still pretty amazing to think that I am now scoffing at how short a 10km run is when just a few months ago, I was having cold sweat just thinking about a 2.4km run for IPPT.

On the negative end of things, I am on the way to a career change and as bad it is to do so during such a economically bad period, it’s quite exciting to think of what the future might hold with this move.

Life changing moves with my health and career. 2009 might prove to be the biggest and potentially best year yet!
