Training for Mt Kinabalu, a belated blossoming Nodame fandom and a newfound appreciation for classical music led to a nice soothing 4 km jog yesterday. Hmmm, never thought I'd see a jog as soothing...have been trying to do more weight training but not very wise to go to the nature reserves alone. Think I'll just climb a HDB staircase or something.  

Hello dear reader, it's been long, yes? Am still muddling along, and am looking forward to climbing Mt Kinabalu in early April. Let's hope some climbing is done, and not just gawking at how high the summit is and throwing in the towel.

Work-wise have gotten a little promo, tiny little pay rise, and life trudges on. Am mid-way through the annual festival madness, hoping I can catch up with my already dwindling social life. am also fairly exciting about my Japanese classes - which I am taking so that my life doesn't revolve around work more than it already does.

Tried alcohol a little while back, and decided I can live without it. But not without Coke though, and chocolate, and well-written fanfics.

Am now reading On Writing Well by William Zinsser, which I had the greatest fortune of stumbling upon at a book sale. A wonderfully funny and endlessly useful guide to writing non-fiction. I'm learning new things with every page! (Ok, so mebbe my reading habits haven't been very good...)

I hope that with this post, Adelines gets back in the saddle of living and not just existing, which seems to be the case when I stop writing. *shudder*
