Hello Fall.

Second week of school.

I guess summer holiday is officially over at this point. But Im glad that I made the most of the Summer Sun... and I guess to a point that others seemed to noticed it too...

Heres the convosation I had with a friend in class today:

S: Hey m, how are you? how was your summer? you look tanned.

M: heyhey! im good. My summer was okay, how about yours?

S: it was okay. What did you do all summer ? Did you go to CUBA?!

(at this point i was actually LOL-ing)

m: haha no... I stayed in the last two weeks.... I had to work everyday...

(**thought** oh my i must be that dark?)

s: oh....

--End of conv--

it was quite funny at that time. =P anyways I guess its time to start fading for fall? = (

Failure's Hard, but success is far more dangerous.

If you're successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever.

September.

New school year, new hood, fresh start : )

here we go.

Last Day of Summer

August 31st.

I cant believe it. It's the last day of august already. This summer really flew by!

The last day of exams - marking the first day of summer holidays with Vegas, couldn't of been any better. And I guess it just started too roll from there.

It just hit me that in less than a week I'm back to old granny mode - school. The thoughts alone makes me sad... the clouds, the fog, the rain, the SNOW! >=(

I ended my august with one last summer run along the sunset beach, english bay, 3rd beach, 2nd beach and along the walls of Stanley Park. Every time I run along the seawall it never disappoints -- always breath taking. I love running there.

(Last day of Aug's Sun Set -- End of Summer 09 )

It starts off strong, followed by a little patch of tiredness, but once you pass that point its amazing how good you feel, even after 10km. Your legs feel lighter, you're lighter , you stand up straighter and your lungs feel like they are maximizing every breath you inhale.

I cant believe after 4 month of summer I actually enjoy running outside (finally). Well, I guess now I'll have to see how well I can handle the treadmill for the next 8 months. = (

(A Random Summer night - where we laughed so hard that my bed broke LMAO)

Bye bye summer. : (

First Ticket = (

Last night, I got a ticket. 

It was my FIRST ticket

...ever...

Sad part is...

it was for not stopping

at a STOP SIGN!!

I've always been extra cautious at stop signs since my dad received a pricy ticket for not coming to a COMPLETE stop.  It was a Y-intersection where 2 main streets merged into one -- I don't understand why they do not have  yield/merge sign instead, it would be much more efficient in traffic flow!!!! 

 My perfect driving record is now stained by a violation for "failing to obey traffic control device." So instead of going out and partying with my friends, I stayed home and went to bed early.  It sucked.  : ( 

 This morning I woke up early and decided that I was gonna run the seawall.   I've never ran the whole wall before, but I was still mad about my ticket + it is on my summer to do list.  So why not? 

For those who know me, I am not a out-door runner. I run well on a treadmill that pushes me to continue, or else I will land flat on my face with a big fat rubber burn -- Running outside is a whole different story.  I've done chunks of stanley park, but never seem to run the whole 9.0 km in one go.  I gotta admit, for a treadmill runner, there were numerous times that I wanted to just stop and walk.  But 65 minutes later,  it was the best feeling ever. 

A beautiful saturday morning, along the walls that separate you from the endless ocean -- a breath taking view.  It was perfect. It made me realized how much I love this city.  Im glad I went for my run. : )
