Journal (Apr-2006)

This time, I joined the 10 km run by myself. I woke up at 6:40am and got ready for the run. The TC-10k is nothing compare to the Vancouver Sun Run. It is not as organized, not as many people (12,000 vs 50,000), not as much music bands, not as many as water stations, etc.

I didn't see anyone I known after the run so I grabbed a few free drinks and left. My final result is 63:15 (min/sec). I guess it is hard to break the 60 mins line if I don't practice before I do the runs. hahhaha

The Sun Run pictures are posted on the web now and I was not being identified in any of them. Haha. However, I found myself in one of the pictures.

See if you can find me in it or not? =>>

Still felt so sore today......
However, I decided to do the TC 10K run on the coming Sunday.

I found another Microsoft product which is as bad as Visual Source Safe - MSN Space. I had set up my msn space since April last year but for some odd reasons, other people could not access it.

Since work is kind of boring today and a lot of people are using msn space now, I decided to fix this issue. I tried all combination of ideas for setting the permission but still no luck.

My goal was trying to view my msn space from my working msn account; at least I should see my normal msn account space icon from my working msn account. I blocked everyone except my work account; unblocked everyone; assigned my work account to different groups and only allow that group to view my normal msn space; made my space public; etc, etc, etc. I tried all these combination for a period of time and waited for an amount of time. However, still no luck; couldn't see my normal msn account space from my working account.
Then, I started to look for some buttons, lauched? published? Couldn't find anything.

How hard can that be to use msn space????? Is there a magic button I have to press. If you know what I did wrong or see my msn space appear with my account, please let me know.

P.S. Hope my bosses don’t read my blog and found out I just blocked people on msn instead of working. Hahaha.

I traveled to Vancouver with my friend's family over the weekend. We rent the hotel, had food and visited friends together. It is my friend time to live in a hotel in Vancouver and actually spent some times with my friend’s wife and kid. hahahahaha.

Vancouver 10k Sun Run - over 50,500 people joined it this year. I could not even cross the street to meet my friend in the morning because there were just too many people and I was just 15 m away. It was just crazy. However, I met an old friend during the run. How lucky I am to see my old friend in 1 out of 50,500 people?

Felt extremely tired after I got home but couldn't fell asleep. I didn't get to sleep till 1:30am.

24/04/2006 update: finished the 10k in 64.5 mins…….. need to do better next time.

Be confident, speak louder;
BE CONFIDENT, speak louder;
BE CONFIDENT, SPEAK LOUDER!!!

It was a three days long weekend for me, but I didn't do anything important. Watched 4 movies in 2.5 days, got my hair cut, went out to drink with my friends and that's it. I was going to start to study for my database exam but I was too lazy.

One enjoyable thing I did today was talking to my friend's parents for over 2.5 hrs. It was always fun to talk to friend’s parents, as I could understand more about how parents think of the world and what they had experienced before. So much fun. Especially, it is my first time to talk to parents who are not Chinese; they are white and born in Canada.

Also, I had finally decided to register for the Sun Run 10k in Vancouver on the coming Sunday. It is another challenge for me since I haven't been practicing for a long time.

I found out how come I weight so much today when I practiced running. Ran 1km yesterday and tried to push myself to 2km tonight. After I reached 1.5km, I could totally feel my fat was stopping me for moving forward. Felt so bad. I think I need to do more exercise now.

Now, I understand what my friends told me; after I reached 24, I will get fat easily.

Alan & Eric Between Hello & Goodbye, I got to watch this movie tonight. This was one of the movies I wanted to watch for the longest time. I eventually found it last week.
Another simple story talking about two really good friends felling in love with the same girl and both of them were facing a big changes in live at that time. The movie told people to treasure time and friendship; sometimes, one decision can change people's lives. A good movie produced on 1991. Love it. Eric Tseng won the best actor in HK with this movie and it has one of my favour songs. Won't forget

Happy. Found something I lost 6 months ago, my card which I needed in order to go to China. I had been thinking badly about where I left it last year. I had never lost any important document before so I believed it was still in my house. Finally, I found it. yeeeeeeeeeeeep..... save $500 HKD to get a new one Should go out and eat to spend the $500...... hahha

1) My friend went out with me today and we met at University Height. However, he locked his key in the car . Luckily, he left about 1 cm windows open on each side of the door. So, we went to the dollar store, bought a stick and a hook. Then, we tried to fish the key. I was just so funny that looking at 2 guys fishing for the car within the 1 cm window ourside CIBC. hahaha

2) I finally received the "red bomb" from my friend who is going to have the wedding on June.

3) I really wanted to get a hair cut so badly this weekend.... How come the hair salon would close on Sun????? I guess here is Victoria..... I need to wait for another week before I can get a hair cut now.

Finally, within the past week, there were at least 3 people told me I look thinner again than before. Do I really look that thin?? I weighted myself last weekend. I know I am so heavy; reached a point which I think I need to do more excerise now.
