Photography

As usual, I had my 5km run on a Sunday evening but this time I was smart enough to bring along my camera. The weather hit boiling point at around 42 degrees today. The air was filled with hot breeze as if you're in one of those fan oven. That however doesn't stop me from going out for a run. I head straight to the beach for a better view. I snapped a couple of pictures which I think is somewhat 'nice'. Please don't hesitate to critic or leave me any comments.

They say Newcastle has one of the most beautiful beaches in NSW. What do you reckon?

Things that keep me sane most of the time

My favourite snacks, CHOCOLATE!

*Oh Look! What's This*

*For me????*

Bon Jovi - Always

This romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well,I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

1-Yeah I, will love you, baby
Always and i'll be there
Forever and a day, always

2-I'll be there, till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when i die you'll be on my mind
and I'll love you, always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye

What I'd give to run my fingers thru your hair
Touch your lips, to hold you near,
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear, I'll wish I was him
'Cause these words are mine, to say to you
'Til the end of time (rpt 1)

If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price i won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck in these loaded dice
But baby, if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams, and our old lives,
We'll find a place, where the sun still shines

Dedicated for you and you only

Something New

I was feeling a little adventurous so I tried something different for a change. It's a new diet plan that I have set up myself this week. Since I love bread so much, I'll call it My sandwich and salad Diet. Yup, nothing but bread, pastries and salad every meal. I restricted myself from taking any meat other than ham. This was what I did:

Monday
- Breakfast: Peanut Butter & Jam Sandwich
- Lunch: Latte and Ham & Cheese Croissant
- Dinner: Korean Noodle

Tuesday
- Breakfast: Peanut Butter & Jam Sandwich
- Lunch: Latte and Ham & Cheese Croissant
- Dinner: Peanut Butter & Jam Sandwich

Wednesday
- Breakfast: Peanut Butter & Jam Sandwich
- Lunch: Pear
- Dinner: Lettuce, Tomato, Pear with Balsamic Dressing

Thursday
- Breakfast: Peanut Butter & Jam Sandwich
- Lunch: Pear
- Dinner: Korean Noodle

Friday
- Breakfast: Peanut Butter & Jam Sandwich
- Lunch: Pear
- Dinner: Macaronni and Cheese

So what was my verdict after this week?

HORRIBLE TERRIBLE VEGETABLE!

How can one possible survive without any meat whatsoever? Moreover, I had a couple of Diarrhoea episodes in between. Good thing it wasn't serious but I guess that was just a cleansing period after polluting my own system over these years. Surprisingly, I was feeling very fit. The sandwiches must have contain enough carbs for me to last the whole day. Fruits and Vegetables do provide me with sufficient vitamins and minerals. Finally, proteins from ham which brings us to the last main food group. Where did I consume the fats and oil then? Cheese maybe? Whatever. My point is that I managed to respect every nutritional values in my book. I guess that's one advantage of having a nutrition & dietetics background.

All in all, it was an okay experience. It wasn't great, but passable. Not sure about weight loss but I might actually consider trying something similar one day. I am not sure what's the main objective here but it does give me a sense of what it feels like to be a vegetarian (although ham is not actually considered).

Yummmmm

Dreams

What are dreams made of? They say it is just the sub-conscious mind having some random fun while we are asleep. There is no control of what sort of scenario we are put into but a person's personality or emotional state at that moment does play a factor. I woke up this morning with mixed feelings. I tried to remember what I dreamt the night before but could only picture various scenes that don't really make any sense. One thing for sure, I was indeed in character. It felt real and the whole dream was vividly clear. Details, sound, colour, lots of running and even Jared Leto from 30 seconds to Mars was there to show me a magic trick. I know, very very weird. When I opened my eyes, I was drenched in sweat. I didn't know that running in your dream can actually burn that unwanted calories. Awesome! But I wasn't entirely sure if I was in the real world or still dreaming. I shut my eyes and began wondering. Alarm hasn't rang yet, sky was getting brighter, the heat was still scorching. I finally realised that I had just woken up from a dream. I won't say that it's a nightmare but it was certainly weird enough for me to start writing a blog post before work. cheers

so happy

Ran 5km just now, had some drinks at a nearby pub, spoke to dad, listen to her voice. It's all worth the wait...

7 days a week

This week has been indeed the most tiring I had ever faced. Considering I missed a couple of days due to my horror gastro bug last week, I thought of making up the hours. However, it's been worthwhile. I am finally getting paid for a full time job in doing what I do best as a Hospital Scientist. Can't wait for my first paycheck. I already knew in the back of my mind how to put that money into good use. Other than that, I'll need to continue my daily routine at the lab. My supervisor is quite happy with my progress so far. We had a short talk yesterday and we are quite confident that we can publish a relatively good paper. Pray pray I get to publish it soon. I just need great results to go with. For all this sake, I really need a drink tonight. I got to relax my mind especially under these stressful situation.
