My birthweek

Had an uneventful and quiet birthday in the office last Tuesday. I simply bulldozed through a mountain of work, while my morale was kept up by birthday-greeting SMSes from my bro and friends in the SAFRA Running Club, SgRunners and my buddies from my former workplace. There were also a couple of e-cards and email greetings from my varsity pals, including Natalie and Chee Su. Thanks a lot, fellas!

Thanks also to Tiwazz and Balasing for their excellent gift of the running vest...even though it came about a month early! I really like it! :) And thanks to Grace and Pong for the card. I'm looking forward to your wedding later today. ;)

And thanks again to my former colleagues who celebrated my birthday in advance last week. Thanks a lot Zac, for the photos!



Had planned to take leave on Thursday to celebrate my birthweek, go for a swim, get a haircut, buy a new pair of running shoes and join the Running Lab run in the evening. But in the end, there were just so many things to be done this week that I decided to abort the idea of applying for leave altogether. Now I need to find another suitable time to go shopping and get myself a new pair of shoes to start replacing my current pair, which is about to exceed a 600-km mileage soon.

But I did manage to buy myself a birthday gift from That CD Shop. It's a music CD by Alejandro Sanz. Some great tracks, including Quiero morir en tu veneno, Cancion sin emocion, Se me olvido todo al verte...
