feeling superb after a 4.6km run just now and not ”blogging till 4am” (alb’s description of my nocturnal weblogging habit) last night.

another enjoyable house-hotting party last night at karen’s place, catching up with RGS lot of friends. Realized all of us have indeed “grown older” after michelle exclaimed that “we are no longer sitting under rotating fans at east coast bbqs and chalet drinking coke, listening to blasting mambo music and talking about breakups and boyfriends” – instead, here we were in karen’s ultra-modernist décor condo, in air-con comfort, eating pasta (karen’s wonderful lasagne), sautéed mushrooms and healthy salad and sipping quality white wine, listening to lounge-y jazz music and talking about marriage and children (and other such “adult” topics).. oh dear! : p

have been going on shopping sprees for trip and have so far acquired a Therm-o-compass (which tells me the temperature and where North is – on a keychain), a Mini Maglite torchlight (which triples up as flood light, spot light or free-standing candle mode – in cool metallic blue), 10 rolls of Fuji Provia slide film, a box of 788 Polaroid film, new Arena swimwear, a pair of slick TYR Champion goggles, and a new compact Goa guide (:p with pictures, you see..)
