energized
life s been quite good to me these days. been busying myself with loads of stuffs. running 2-3 times a week, tennis once a week, meeting up with friends & most importantly, spending time with my family. my dad s over for 2 weeks. so been going on a gourmet extravaganza with him on the weekends. after playing tennis in the rain on sunday w jasp, had a major headache on mon n thus took the day off. spent some time with daddy, lunching@imperial w dimsum & sending wilson around. (he's having his GP prelims today.but im totally not worried bout tt boy la, pretty sure he ll ace it). yeah went for a run on mon cos i felt better after resting with merv andre & zhimin. think we covered like 7 or 8km. was sup to run on wed too, but had stuff to do for the new pitch coming up, so called home to ask if they were having dinner. then my dad, upon hearing tt im going home for dinner, was so happy tt he dabao-ed like 8dishes from our favorite tze char place @ fareast, and to top it off, bought a mountain of assorted fruits..mostly my favorites! (: n the funny thing was, while he & mum were buying the stuffs, he kept worrying if they were enough to feed me. HAHA damn sweet of him. anyhow, its thru these times that i feel i haven got enough time with him all these years.
well well, he really is someone i look up to very much. since young he has been the body of reason to all of us, sounding us out when we throw tantrums, well, of course beating us up if we really go overboard. i guess although we haven't been around him much all these years, he's very much still part of our lives. his dedication & love is really over and beyond what a daughter can expect from her father. i remember we were always really excited when he comes over to Singapore when we were young. we'd wait with much anticipation at the airport, desperately looking for any signs of him walking towards the luggage belt. then every night before we sleep, we'd do this clapclapbuddybuddy routine+ a hug before we say good night & head to bed. haha kinda miss doing that..but since we all grew up, i guess we show our love a lil differently. there s just this mutual understanding that exists within the family, which i ve come to appreciate and am thankful for, especially after things between me & my mum got so much better these few months. (:
aights, work's been pretty busy. as i ve mentioned, new pitch coming up, so helping with the groundwork in terms of industry analysis & competitive landscape & all. OH and i ve signed up for salsa intermediate class at attitude dance studio! gonna start tonight. been SOOO long since i ve done salsa. hopefully i wont be thrown off in that 1 hour. gonna head for a 15km run tonight as well, before heading to overeasy for drinks. i foresee a funpacked weekend too! sat gonna tennis in the morning w ziyang grace & calvin. then sun will be spent with the old birds. somehow i derive energy from doing different things. hope i can keep this energy level up. (:
may peace be with everyone.
