I'm at my regular Star again, doing that year end review. Forgot when it started. It has became like a pilgrimage thingy.
This New Year's Eve is gonna be a quiet one. Irene and Ah-Bu are sick hence no party plans at all. Well...as long it's a peaceful one, I'm contented.
The beginning of 2014 started slow. We called off 2 trips cos of unforeseen incidents. Had planned to go BKK for TNF Thailand but there were some riots. Hence we decided not to risk our safety. Can't rmb the other one - was it HK? Never mind.
The action started in July, or perhaps unconsciously May.

1st race of the year. In a sea of rotten bananas (as described by serene) |
celebrating meijin's birthday at her new place |
 |
coolest hen party ever!. only runners/adventure racers would do that - going under the sun, all sweaty & smelly but extraordinarily fun!!! |
 |
my running kaki is married! I am happy for her but at the same time, sad that she is relocating. well...true friendship transcends distance! |
 |
| a short race @ gua tempurung. nearly got swept away by the river (again). |
 |
2nd time to phnom penh but for work this time. more fun with the kids around |
 |
| i love this shot! hair was messy but nvm :p |

 |
| nashville for phtls conference. an unexpectedly nice place |
 |
a shot with abraham lincoln. watched the movie on plane to "get acquainted" with him. he was really a great man. |
sat out ultra168 since my mileage was really miserable and knowing hk 's terrain, i'd have been cut off after 2 cps. got to know new friends who are also into lego! it was a good break. life is filled with surprises :) |
 |
2nd time to st john's island since sec. 2? was great getting to know my running club & their families |
at pete's place celebrating chris' and irene's birthdays |
 |
this year's theme is home. and we have a new best-dressed record |
cosy early birthday celebration with charlene |
thank God his concert was postponed! originally clashed with my nashville trip. the seats were snapped up. i had to sit by myself. and it rained as we left the new stadium. nonetheless, i enjoyed myself thoroughly. it was like a trip down memory lane. didn't realize jay chou's music had accompanied me for 10 years! am still missing the "high" that nite. |
