Life of guohui ...chp 305

another run under my belt for the year and i believe to be the last for the year. i think i'm falling in love with runs, the adrenaline rush and the exuberant feeling after the run. simply indescribable. nt forgetting the friendliness of the runners and the impromptu pretty pacers ard you.

and i ended up running in the new balance run afterall. despite not doing the 10km run for Team PCG, i ended up going the 15km men individual and clocked 1hr 27min. not too bad for a man with slight ligament shift, having cold during the run and having only 3hrs of slp time before the run and having seaboat launches the day before. and FYI the run consist of a 4km trail, 0.6km sand and 10.4km of road

ok. excuses. i shall outdo myself next year. or perhaps the next incoming race.

and 4hrs after the run, it's work time for me, with the cold and muscle strain coming on. but grumbles aside, i'm glad i ran. too bad i pulled out of the standard chartered run. damn. i shldn't listen to the physio who talked me out of it. same goes for the nb run but i still comes out of it well and good.

Life of guohui ...chp 304

it has been a pretty long week. with so much going on. working the EO, covering extra shifts and of course, the much anticipated pattaya trip with the team.

had a great time in pattaya, finally getting my PADI open water diving license after dragging on for so long. the underwater world is really cool, almost presenting me an out of this world feeling, drifting away with the blue spotted rays, swimming thru thousands of shoals of fishes, be wary of stepping on the hundreds of sea urchin, trying to catch the pufferfish before it bloats up and flushed itself away, be amazed by the many diff kind of corals and the organisms that lives in the coral grps. total exhilarating.

and follows by an ice cold pint of Heineken when we ascend. gosh i love diving.

and if everything goes as planned, we'll be back in march for either our advance open water or wreck diving.

and of course partying away at the clubs. imagine partying from 11pm till 6am before heading for our dive at 9am. henessy, johnny walker black label and chivas? bring on the beer tower man! every night is a reason to party:

1st night: thailand welcome party, where the junior men treats the senior men
2nd night: senior men's treat to welcome the junior men
3rd night: open water diver's celebratory night
4th night: last night in pattaya party

there is always a reason to celebrate. the open water diver celebratory drink is damn cool man, where they actually pour beer into the snorkelling mask which we the new divers are supposed to wear and drink from. and since the only breathing space is from the snorkelling tube where the beer is coming from, we ended up having to drink in 1 shot!

and of course, the good food which boss treat
and lazing by the beach/pool with a good read and beer(like again!), doze off

and trying the exotic fried scorpions and insects

total fun!

and off i head to zq's 21st after i landed in sg on fri.

and to work the very next day. back to the days of duck rice again.
