Clear skies?

Thank you Lord for this 2 days of clear (if not so blue yet) skies. no more smoke filled lungs even if i'm not even sneaking a puff. no more having to stay indoors because its hazardous. no more going nuts with all this repressed energy.

Yup my son confirms the haze has moved up north. Sg petani is now enveloped in smoke but probably not as bad as it was here in klang valley a couple of days back. * sigh* are we going to be victims of unmonitored burning forever?

Yesterday i was surprised to see most of the shah alam parks filled with people, they were out in droves!! come to think of it i really shouldnt have been... semua org mengambil kesempatan utk menikmati udara yg telah beransur pulih. who knows how long it'll last! families filled the dataran merdeka fields, the lake even dataran shah alam. it felt like a party. oh and to mark the occasion i got to meet up with a classmate i havent seen for the past 27 years!!!! of course being a sabahan and running a business in his hometown didnt help. the possibility of bumping into each other was almost non existent lol. well, another classmate arranged for a small get together at kenny rogers alam sentral shah alam and about 10 of us turned up. it was fun rehashing old stories and for a minute there we were all kids again.... goes to show the soul never really grows old, just the body. and a much altered body at that lol.

Yay... i'm back to pounding the pavements again :)

Yesterday i only managed a lap round the tasik because it was already late and i did have to keep that 'date' with my classmates. so that made it a measly 4 km but hey its better than nothin' ;).

This morning i got out in the wake of golfman (he tees off pretty early) and really made the most outta my run. even took my own sweet time to warm up and cool down. lepas geram terperuk kat rumah for the past 3-4 days lol


** Pavement pounding Log **

1st lap= about 4km= 25 mins
2nd lap= about 4km= 32 mins
total= 8km= 57 mins

I hope to keep this up since i'm training to keep it under 60 mins. the qualifying time for putrajaya is 1 hr 10 mins (still havent registered yet). but problem is i can suddenly get all puncit on certain days. must try to be consistent.

Tally at week's end: about 17 km.

Hello, thanks for the comment on my blog the other day. It wasn't my best of entries, I have to say. But sometimes people get melancholic, I guess.

And yes, the haze is gone now, and it's back to clear skies and sunny days.

I meant that literally, too.

i'm glad the skies are clearer for you too shahriman :) and lets all not forget whenever theres darkness there most certainly will be light.

God bless.
