Gong Xi Fa Cai

Had my first run with the running club guys this Wednesday. Finally started regular runs after my disastrous injury in December (yes Jon ... thanx!) and its been invigorating so far! The semi-competitive nature of the team, friendly chats and jokes we make along the way all remind me of X-Country training back home o so many years ago. Still in shape surprisingly ... Must say I have been gifted with good running genes and metabolism if nothing else haha.
Been keepin up to date with my work and preparations (mostly!) but have been sleeping later as well. Just last nite after studying, I joined Weiying and Sherwayn and BB at mahjong! (I just learnt it not too long ago) We played all the way till near four and I ended up 1.8pds poorer and Sherwayn was richer as usual. (Some guys have ALL the luck!)
We are gonna have the SingSoc reunion dinner tmr, (making what Andrew calls "pirated" yu sheng for the dinner), a reunion dinner with some of the other Year Ones on tue and finally one on sat with Uncle Kenny. Ahhhh ... its gonna be a good week. Its gonna be a bit sad celebrating CNY without my buddies back home (remember how we go mutual visiting??? haha) and without my family but at least it is a celebration of sorts with companionship amongst frens and people of like mind.
Sadly I am losing touch with the ongoings back home. Sighz ... it was inevitable I guess. But its a good thing this is not true for all ... you guys noe who u are.
To everyone back home ... Happy New Year!
