Excitement

29 August 2008

I’m not sure if its the sugar rush, the looming deadlines or the pent up adrenaline for next weekend, but I’m fidgety with excitement!

Or maybe its just my favourite verse, Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

This is the best verse for someone who is as anxious as me!

Disc in

26 August 2008

I think I play too much Frisbee.

But tonight, it felt good sprinting. And attacking the disc.

I wish I can play everyday.

Spirit

25 August 2008

Winter League just ended. My division 2 team won Most Spirited as ranked by the other teams.

YAY! Having only played on 5 league teams and with Special Sauce for the first time, its been my best league team ever! Definitely felt the good vibes throughout the season. And possibly the season where I felt I played well too.

And I get a hand towel for my efforts.

City 2 Surf aka how I survived a 14km run

12 August 2008

I had this plan where I would run every other day for 4 weeks and be super fit for a 14 km run. Then I caught a cold and got lazy.

Early Sunday morning, I waited at the start line with a few friends. We were in the back of the pack, with priority given to real runners. By the time we crossed the start line, they made an announcement that the first guy and girl just crossed the finish line - in 41 minutes and 47 minutes.

As for me, I made it to the finish line in 119.1 minutes, in 42460th position. :)

Not bad for someone who ran in flat sole shoes. Though my feet hate me now.

Would I do it again? Yes. But I’ll start in the earlier pack and shave time off by minimizing the amount of crowd weaving. And I would keep a better pace, rather than the run, walk, trot, jog that I did.

For my effort, I got a medal that says “I finished!”, a refreshing lunch hosted by the uni and my name in the newspapers!

Oh and a video of me crossing the finish line, as well as a photo ($29.95!!!). I look like I’m floating.

Top 10 brekkie joints: Strangers With Candy

10 August 2008

I’ve always wanted to go here just because of the name. I brought my camera and was all prepared to take massively yummy shots of my food, but when it arrived, I was so hungry I tucked right in.

The scrambled eggs on turkish bread was good. We had 4 sides - mushrooms, baked beans, sausage and smoked salmon. The baked beans were homemade and quite tasty. The salmon however, ordinary and slightly tasteless. Also, they don’t have pancakes or french toast on their menu, which is quite disappointing.

They only serve breakfast on weekends and since their breakfast menu isn’t extensive, I doubt I’ll be back.
