Also known as The Last Run Before The Half Marathon. Gasp! Since I'm not gonna be around next Sunday to jog.

It was a disgustingly warm day yesterday and while the thought of dragging myself down earlier so that I can cover a longer distance did briefly cross my mind, the heat put any thoughts of that to rest.

The sun was still out in full force at about 530pm, so basically it was like this:

1st 7km - scorching hot and dying in the heat
Mid-point - saw a beautiful sunset from a pretty good vantage point
Next 7km - THANKFULLY A LOT COOLER for the jog back home

 

The gorgeous sunset in question. Punggol is a pretty nice place! Not saying this so that people will move to the North-East hahahaha

It's 12 days, 16 hours and 54 minutes to Race Day as I type this, errmmmm all I can say is good luck to me (and hopefully I can wake up in time at the crack of dawn to go for the run. It will be hilarious if I oversleep again).

Hear hear! This is why the Barnacle is awesome haha.

Have you ever read something that resonates with you so greatly, it takes all the words out of your mouth and put it in elegantly scripted text, and you're like holy cow all this is exactly what is happening in my sad life!

Hello there, article of my life!

This is all that needs to be said, really. From now on, directing all questions to this article.

LOL!!!!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen (if any)!

Do you feel that increasingly you are not a part of the "other side"?

Do you feel sad because you have no one to snuggle with?

Are you sick of seeing photos of happy married couples and getting invitations to weddings?

Fear not, for Dr #WiseOldSage is here to dispel myths and dispense advice!

With some recent change in life events recently, I present to you some statistics and the rapidly changing profile of my amigos.

*Note 1: Based on sample size of 16 (i.e. the friends I most frequently hang out with)
*Note 2: The singletons are based information that I know, they could have been sneaky and not update


LOL yes I know I'm not being paid to sit in my office and do up bo liao pie charts like this one. Hahaha. Allow me to indulge in a moment of slacking because life is a drag. :x

And this reminds me of how Marshall in HIMYM has this habit of doing up graphs and charts for every single thing till the gang has to conduct an intervention! Also, HIMYM Season 8 has started!!! :D

Back to the point. So actually, if you look at the cold hard facts that I have presented in the pie chart, we singles (as represented by the orange slice - which I chose on purpose ahem because orange is my favourite colour but I digress) still make up a big slice of the pie! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! *fireworks*

Of course, I foresee that the slice will start to shrink as we age :( and then the kids will start coming :( and then the meet ups will get lesser :( and then the already once-every-few-months meetups will start becoming a once-every-year meetup. And then that's the time when you find that you need more single friends to hang around with! Quick! Find me someone who is not a part of a greater sum!

But that said, is this the season for love and relationships to blossom? So many updates and so much good news recently! :D

So if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Live your life vicariously through your friend's love life by pestering them for details (sorry Saint)! I can see how annoying that can be ahahahaha but I'm too excited by it myself LOL.

中秋节快乐! The moon was a huge yellow orb today.
Or yesterday. Technically yesterday.
Next year I'm gonna buy some snowskin durian mooncakes. Or the famous Raffles Hotel champagne truffle mooncakes. I've never tried them.

And I'm procrastinating! I'm gonna regret procrastinating. I have a 15% assignment to do, due on Thursday. It's not rocket science. I should have done it today. But I didn't. :(
