Rear fencing was up, time to decorate it with some flowers. I'm glad hubby likes the idea. :luck:

"Close some doors today, not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere" - Paul Coelho
I have officially deactivated my Facebook account because:
- Don't find it useful, actually never found it useful. I created one when I was leaving the Middle East and some friends wanted to keep in touch. So we had but now we have lost it, each of us has entered our own new world to touch. The rest are just memories that we can't keep talking over and over again. The cards have been overridden, with marriages, newborns, deaths, holidays, and new life.
- Don't have more friends than ever. God has created a path for each of us to walk, some will cross to one another once or twice, others should have not crossed ever and again. Facebook has interfered with God's plan. On Facebook people started looking for those whom they should not see again and so did I. Yes, I was happy to find them but then I realised how less we had in common. Our paths have intertwined at different levels so there was no other choice but to continue.
- Friends mean more that acquaintances. When I met them in real life and accepted their requests, I would like them to be my friends. Thus I invited them to my house warming and opened my door to other occasions. It was funny when some translated it as hanging out with alcohol, cigarettes, talking about the same sh*t over and over again. Or when some talked to me on Facebook but ignored me in the real world. How weird is that?
- Too much information. Too much self-aggrandising. Too many pictures. Too many selfies. Too boring.
Day #9 - another 3k in 30 minutes.
Time to run faster, 30 seconds easy jog + 20 seconds moderate + 10 seconds sprint. Five times with no rest between. Then rest 2 minutes. Repeat 30-20-10 x 5 then rest 2 minutes.
ah, another endurance sportsperson here.
my average time for 3K is also around 30min-ish (once recorded 26min, but that's really rare). But considering my age (male, 29), this is a poor performance. yeah well, I have to dig deeper, to pay the last 29 years without any workout.
Been doing interval training as a preparation for 10K race, and it does improve my performance (5K in 46-48 minutes).
Yea.. I agree, that's pretty poor. :cengir: Allez! Let me know how you go.
My goal after a couple of months is to run for 30 minutes without any jogging or having a rest. I'm 42 so that's okay. ;D
30min without jogging? for me, that's just insane. ahahahahhaha.
I always jog after 1.5K (in average, sometimes 2K), just to make myself keep moving during the run, instead of walking)
Anyway, being ambitious and all, my short-term target is competing in a 5K race without walking (usually after 3K, I always walked for a bit. walk, not jog). My personal best for 5K is 48min.
and, again, being ambitious and all, I already registered myself to several race in 5 consecutive weeks. ahhahaha
1. CombiRun, 18 October (5K)
2. League Grip the Road, 19 October (8K)
3. The Jakarta Marathon, 26 October (10K)
4. H24Run, 2 November (5K)
5. Shell Helix Ultra Run, 8 November (5K)
6. Summarecon Bekasi Run, 16 November (subject to change, 5K or 10K)
7. Standard Chartered Half Marathon, 23 November (subject to change, 5K or 10K)
that's just a very definition of "ambitious but rubbish". But I trained myself pretty consistent in the last 3 weeks (3 runs per week, 2 cycling, and 2 swimming)
I'm impressed! You were a heavy smoker too, were you not? ::hohoho::
Consistency, that's all I need. Thus I only work out 3 times a week, so long as I'm consistent with my schedule I think I can make it and so can you. I always like running in fact when I was younger I loved sprinting so yeah, would love to be able to run again. My age and a couple of accidents on my hip and knee will just have to get used to it.
Good luck on the 18th! ::chearleader::
I was indeed a heavy smoker (2 packs a day). Right now, when I buy a pack, it lasts for 3 days.
anyway, I added another race for this week (12 october 2014). It's Mandiri Run, an event to welcome the Mandiri Jakarta Marathon. My first race in my hometown.
Arghh… This is bloody annoying! Anti-biotics for the whole week? Bed rest? Not even ipad allowed?
It wasn't even because I started exercising again, it wasn't even my fault! X(
Wow.. it has been 4 days already. There's no way I can rest for a week, four days is close enough. My head is still a bit nyut-nyutan but I think I can go to work tomorrow.
People should have kept the germs to themselves. Infecting others is just rude. I stay at home when I'm sick coz I don't want to pass it on to anybody. What if a mother or a pregnant woman get it from me then pass it on to their kids or babies?
Why can't those sick b**tards do the same? Stay at home or live in a cave somewhere? And most importantly, look after themselves and live a healthy lifestyle. This is why I hate filthy people, those who smell, cough, blow or suck their nose in public, those who carry diseases and transfer them to others. They are so dirty that even germs can't live in them.
Lord give me patience. What can't kill me will make me stronger.. What can't kill me will make stronger..
Would love to speak to you but it would be better if I don't answer your text again.
I broke yours once, wouldn't go between you and the new one.
A promise to myself.

Pliz God, give me a job in Indonesia so Mami can live with me. I can work part-time and help her out with everything she needs. I'll be her maid, I'll do anything for her. As for those who don't care about her, you can turn them to stones or frogs or stone frogs.
good luck with finding job here, mbok
may you be with mami soon yaaa...
I lost my cutest dog today. He was buried beside his best friend due to illness and frailty when the time came, one without the other was unthinkable. ::nangis::
Rest easy, Tiger.

Terima kasih, Kupo
Tiger is the little one, the Yorkshire Terrier. ::hihi:: He was tiny when I got him but very brave so I named him Tiger.
The Rottweiler was his best buddy, who also fell ill when Tiger got cancer on his backbone. Her name is Angel, she looked scary but a big softy. They were put down and buried together.
Kalau jalan-jalan berdua, Angel ngejar tikus sementara Tiger ngejar kelinci atau rusa. Dia pikir dia yang Rottweiler. ;D
A young man just passed away. He was still 27, a year younger than I thought. What a shock. I screamed when I saw the thread about him. I didn't really know him but I felt the sense of losing another good person. I talked about him to hubby, he was sad too.
We were created with our own batteries and we don't know when the battery will expire. Would we be happy if we knew how long the batteries would last? Some would probably just waste it if they knew they only had ABC. Others would do anything coz they knew they had Duracell or rechargeable ones.
Were we given just enough time to serve our purposes?
I don't know. I still find it hard to believe that my brother has gone, that his battery expired in 2014 and that my other brother has a rechargeable one coz that guy has nine lives! And why is that? I got 2 brothers, why did one have to go when he was at the peak of his life? #pusing
On the bus going home I started thinking about my late brother. Normally after work we liked to text each other. Has his soul gone to Barzakh, the temporary place? Where is it really? Is it in another dimension of this world that our eyes can't see? Suddenly a woman who was sitting in front of me gave me a small piece of paper, a leaflet, pink. It said Can the dead really live again? I smiled at her, feeling a bit embarrassed and thinking, did I look that sad? I saw her taking the leaflet out of her stash, why did she pick that one? A coincidence? Ain't that spooky.
The song that my brothers like to play. I wonder if my other brother had this playing in his head when he buried his only brother. Man it must be hard for him.

Found it! I've been looking for this book for a week, The First Stage Guitar Book. Can't believe that it has been 13 years ago since I had a formal guitar lesson. Should've kept it going, my fingers wouldn't be as stiff as now. Found the plectrum too! ::hohoho:: I think I cut my nails too short this time, it hurts.
Poor hubby starts going around the house with his earset. Listening to his story, he said, I bet blocking the noises I'm making as well. ;D
Got a special card today. %kis

In KL waiting for my flight to Bandung. I'm coming, Mami! ::hohoho::
Even just for a wee while I would be her chauffeur, even Bandung is always macet. She used to driving her kids around as part of her busy schedule. She would even take me with her vespa if my older siblings had to borrow her car. My super Mum is still working, still likes to chat in watsapp, still goes out by herself even now she has to take taxi. She wants to go Umroh again, that's her last wish. Hopefully we can go soon, amin.
wah, musim liburan, pada pulang kampung ya :mrgreen:
have fun mbok
Always wanted to know how it feels to be fat and now I am! But not obese yet. It feels heavy, everything is nyembul and nyempil. And man, I feel sleepy all day. Lucky Mami got a new driver so I could have a snooze whenever it was macet. Bandung is getting hotter but fat makes me sweaty even more. It makes everything bigger, I feel very montok. This is bad.
Sendirinya juga ::elaugh::Quote:

A foolishness that had to be paid by one's death. Brave but naive, so innocent.
I miss the old days when private things were kept private, when people thanked God by praying not updating their status, when parents celebrated family special days with their kids instead of facebook friends, when people had better hearing coz they didn't grow ear sets, when cellulites were hidden well, when the boobs were in, when men talked less, when ... sigh
When people embarrassed for their mistakes, when news were noteworthy information, when the quality of life was more important than the quantity, when women had less tattoos, when the world was less populated, when people enjoyed good conversations without scrolling their mobiles up and down. :bulat:
Forgot why I decided to study again, I feel like giving up. This is the time to remind myself of the rewards, the promotions and the increases afterwards. Not to mention the relief when having it all completed. :nangis4:I'm so exhausted today, can't think of anything to write anymore. :iamdead:Good night and good luck.
Happy, nervous, excited.. ::woohoo:: An opportunity to start my own business has arrived and the best thing is I don't have to quit my job.
They love the sample, they want more, they want to buy it. Can I do it? Can I make more? :gemetar: I gotta do it right, from the beginning, research, a lot of research, selling price, packaging, agreement, etc. Next year, yes, I gotta finish that too, next year. ::woohoo::
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast, in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. (Ovid)
Never thought hubby would be this excited. I knew he was happy about it but he has done his own research and even bought me some equipments already. He has also spread the word at work and taken orders from his mates. 'You are my best hubby,' I joked with him. 'What?? How many husbands you have!?'
More samples, more compliments. Even had an offer for a direct selling in a couple of months time which means me and the customers, face to face. 'The customers are going to love it', they said. :gemetar: I feel like entering another zone and it's not my comfort one. It's dark and I have not found the light switch. I got a lot to do yet I'm here typing it all out. Maybe I just go back to bed, it's a holiday season anyway. :bulat:
Missing the days when I had no worries whatsoever, when I had my family and everyone around me. I would have been sitting with the old man and listening to his inspiring stories. I'm just a little ape who have strong feet to stand on but still need my parents to hold onto.
Frustrating. ::arg!:: How difficult it is to find some things in this country. Hence I always refer it as kampung. Indonesia has everything and anything is possible. Looks like I need some changes of plan. Starting your own business is not easy at all.
What's better than Indonesian pandan cake that just came out of the oven? Nothing. The taste was wonderful, the fragrance was magical and the colour was so natural. I didn't have to use any colour additive, just heaps of pandan leaves, no bitterness whatsoever. My waistline.. o yeah.. I'll work on that.. later.

My last post. Six hours to go until the new year. My family, my health, my work, my study and my business.
It is going to be one hell of a year! ::hohoho::
i don't understand what you talking about
