Marathons Are No Fun

Ok.. this is going to be a grumpy entry. Not in the best of moods now coz I'm so sleepy and tired. It's my off day today, but I've yet to recover from my work marathon in the past 3 days. Have been doing an average of 12 hours shift back to back. Work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, work...Tomorrow, the marathon starts again and will go on for another 2 days. I always thought my older colleagues seemed to look rather haggard, with eye bags and sallow skin from the lack of sunlight (especially the guys; oh yes and the pot-belly too). Looks like I'm destined to join the club.

Or am really?

Maybe my physical exertions on the rock wall will make all the difference. My recent climbing trip to Yang Shou in April was a BLAST! Never felt so rejuvenated (think I make the same comment every climbing trip). I look forward too to my outdoor climbs at Dairy farm. It's my zen time of the week where I get in touch with nature and myself.

When I've completed my marathon in the next 2 days, I will post my climbing pics here (I promise!). Hopefully by reminiscing the excitement and adrenaline rush, I will be filled with new found zest for the up and coming - brace yourself - 3 day work marathon I'll have to endure this coming week end.

Sigh...God grant me strength!

It was a pleasant surprise to see new blog entries here, hehe... No lah, u won't look haggard and sallow since u exercise quite a bit. Just make sure sunblock in place if u are out in the open, or else too much sun will make u look old too :-)
