womad 2006

"reggae night, and we'll be jamming till the morning light" - jimmy cliff (reggae night)

i never really thought bout going to womad but this year, thanks to my friend, i finally went for the event.

all kinds of different artists on 2 different outdoor stages. add that to a lot of dancing (and sweating). it was a receipe for great fun!

so i'm guessing next year i'll be going again...

run like the wind

"have i got a long way to run" - collective soul (run)

so i've mentioned before that i like to workout. i go to the gym (or at least i try my best to...) and do bodycombat classes, use the machines (only the easy-to-figure-out ones 'coz the fierce ones are for the big boys), lift free weights at home and do that lovely 8 min ab workout. but what i don't do is run.

sure in the last year i've attempted to run around my block a few times and though i don't consider myself to be unfit, after 15 mins of running, i'm just bout ready to throw in the towel and crawl back home.

but yet the idea of a triathlon fascinates me. nevermind that this girl doesn't actually cycle. so i guess that might be out...

my friend is joining a 10km run in december and for some strange reason i'm almost considering to actually join.

but i can't run...

the last time i actually ran was almost 10 years ago. and it was 5km after which i had shin splints and was outta commission. 10km? that's practically ridiculous. and you know how people say that it's a mind thing, yeah i don't agree entirely. i mean i can feel that i can't feel my legs...

i don't know... i haven't decided. i'm just toying with the idea and the pain haha!

well i guess thank goodness it's not the half or full marathon right?

happy birthday to me

"another year older, a little bit stronger, a little bit wiser" - delta goodrem (a year ago today)


happy birthday to me. i'm 26 this year.

i always said that turning 25 was like opening the door to the mid 20s. turning 26 means that the door is slammed shut behind you.

for bout a week now i've been doing some thinking. re-evaluating my life, you could say. i think some things need to change, some things i need to get a move on and some things hopefully will always remain the same.

it's kinda scary to think that i'm no longer that young anymore to get away with the thinking that i have my whole life ahead of me. well in a way i do 'coz it's not like i'm old... but it's just that i'm not that young... well i guess it's not too late to start again...
