So much to do, so little time*Returned from Davis mid-August *Sara returned the week after *Started training with Ipoh Roadrunners late August *Ran my first short-distance race in early september and placed 7th. RM50 + medal. *Visited friends in KL in sept and oct *Ran long runs of more than 10 miles every sunday morning with my kaki lari *Started my new job at Ipoh's Veterinary Research Institute *Hiked up kledang on saturdays with a friend *Ran my second short-distance race in october and placed 8th. RM50 + medal. Again. *Improved my pace from a 7min/km to a 5:30min/km within 3 months of training *Experienced the worst ever food poisoning attack *'Played' with H5N1 and Nipah viruses in a Level-3 Biohazard Lab. *Had lots of fun at work. *Lots of fun with my kaki lari. *Biotechcorp Sdn Bhd's entrepreneurship training program offer pops up *Had to pull out of KRI's 12K to attend Biotechcorp's induction. Darn. Could have gotten 3rd or 4th place.
Coming soon.. *Resign from VRI this Friday after only 5 weeks of work *Run the Singapore marathon on Sunday *Return to KL and hobble to class on Monday *Start life in KL
I realized that.. *I do better in longer races (10k or more) than shorter ones (6k or less) *I am actually capable of mingling with the 'business' crowd. Career change, anyone? *I LOVE al-jazeera and all its pryful and controversial questions *I could participate in Malakoff's Powerman 2008 even if i start training next August
Most of all.. *I've learnt that taking a year off after graduating to rethink and explore your life's passions and career goals will actually move you in the right direction to make well-informed decisions. Better to spend a year of solid searching rather than not for your entire life.
Why hurry when you've got everything it takes?
