Ok as you can probably see, final deadline's coming cos Shawn is always blogging more than ever when it's crunch time. Talk about good time management.
Received my folios for various projects back today.
Studio D - Intrigue (HD)
Studio E - Celebrity Item (DI)
Studio F - Magazine (DI)
An extra boost to work extra hard for the finals. I got to say, I'm really happy with the HD, cos I never thought I'd break the DI barrier for Studio D (past 2 projects being mere CRs).
At the risk of sounding pompous, I kind of despise Credits. It's fine if it was a Pass or Fail or Distinction, cos it tells you where you stand. To me, a Credit's just telling you... you're not really there but I don't want to break your heart so hey, take a Credit! But that's just me yabbing.
Also, it's DION'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!
HAPPY 19TH!!!
That means it's 3 more working days for you. ;)

Irrelevant
The official timings are in and the previously reported one is wrong.
I officially finish 4:45:54 on the clock and 4:44:59 net.
Which means... I did it below my target of 4:45:00!!! Even by a second, I'll take it!
Ok before I get overly excited, I've been looking through the race timings as well as the average timings for specific age groups. Turns out, my timing is considered VERY slow.
Of the participants aged between 20-60, the average timing was BELOW 4hrs! Hence, I'm only relevant in the 61-65 year old age group, whose average timing is 4:49:05!
That SUCKS! And here I am thinking breaking the 5hr barrier was cool.
Ok next up, training to break the 4hr mark for Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon on Dec 6th.
On a (almost) totally unrelated note, I'm officially done with 1 of my 4 final projects and looking to complete another by tonight, which leaves 2. Not too shabby, except one of them involves DreamWeaver. And I have had it known about my sentiments towards that programme. But, yeah it'll come around when it does, and I'll complete it whether I like it or not.
Counting down to 26th Oct.
Verociously counting.

While You Were Sleeping
0700hrs on a Sunday morning, while most of Melbourne is still snugly tucked in their beds enjoying their slumber, I chose to spend my morning (and my $110) torturing myself.
42.195km in 4:45:49.
Not too bad considering I still had tonnes of winter weight and not much training.
Wouldn't consider this my PB though, cos of the dizzy spell at the 20 and the severe cramps to both quads from the 26 onward.
Looking forward to equaling or better the timing in Singapore.
It's started to rain now... what better weather could one ask for?
Sleep time. My poor legs.

Adobe DreamWeaver
As frustrating as it is to place text and images where I desire, as irritating as it is to create css styles and div tags, as infuriating as it is to insert a nav bar only to have it out of place, as fucked up as it is to use the damn programme...
...I think I'm slowly starting to like this bitch of a software.
Maybe I'm just a closet technophobe.

Happy Birthday Shawn
For those of you who do read my blog, or stumbled upon it somehow, well, just want to take the time to thank everyone for all the well wishes, be it via facebook, sms, email, snail mail - they are greatly appreciated.
I'm not someone who likes to celebrate lavishly, so for those who remembered, thank you. I'm growing ancient so that's probably another reason NOT to publicise my birthday. Anyhow, lots of great gifts, nice cards, surprises, cake... Ellis actually compiled a birthday card with wishes from my friends, and that was really sweet.
For those who sent me a comment on facebook, thank you for taking the time to leave that short comment. I've replied each and everyone independently. As for those in the above mentioned card, I would like to thank you here.
Big thanks to:
Miguel Tan
Samuel Koh
Liew Sing For
Adelene Valentia Wee
Kevin Tan
Wong Zhen Cong
Denise Tan
Andy Seow
Paul Lam

I've been told I have a birthday present sitting in my room waiting for me to open when I get back. Talk about having incentives to going back eh? I'm missing Singapore even more now.
On a totally unrelated note. Today being 2nd Oct means in a week it'll be 11th Oct. (Well 10th Oct comes first and don't worry I haven't forgot that important date) It's officially 7 days to the St George Melbourne Marathon. I hope I don't die, or rather, remain fit enough to walk to Uni on Monday.
There's a countdown occuring on Dion's Photoblog to the end of his misery (read-internship), so I'm starting a couple here too.
Countdown to end of semester: 23 days
Countdown to Singapore: 48 days
Can't wait.

Happy Childrens' Day
There's a child in all of us.
Take the time, relive the carefree life.
We all know that kiddish feeling.
We feel it itching to burst out ever so often.
Don't hold back.
It's only one day a year.
LET IT OUT!
Have a marvelous CHILDRENS' DAY!
