job getting in the way

Have to pull an all nighter for the job today so I am at work after a 5.5 k run burning 523kCal. You know what ? Brunei is great and all but I miss Malaysia so much. I miss running on Malaysian roads, or I don’t know maybe I am just home sick. I miss being able to talk to friends and family without having to worry about how much the phone bill is going to bomb my ass. I miss fried oyster from Meng Tien. I miss zipping around on my Ex-5, yes I still prefer my own bike to a SEAT. I know how it’s going to be, once I get home I am going to miss this place. A working visit is just not the opportune way to fall in love with a country. One day if i get the chance I will definitely come back here with a bundle of cash to burn and on a NON working trip ! PURE HOLIDAY !!

AUGHH ! I just want to go home already !!

It’s night runs now for me

Converted all my runs to night runs. It gets tough getting the morning runs in during ramadan. Felt good during the run last night while steve runner kept my spirits high. I really like his podcast and gives the spirit a good run while the body is getting it’s share. It’s like how the guys says it in Fight Club “Every night I die and I am reborn again”. Really don’t know what I would do without the evening runs for soul rebirth.

There is also nothing like getting to know a foreign country better than to traverse it in your daily runs. What I can see and feel during my daily runs about Brunei is definitely more than what a car ride can offer. The closeless offered by getting up close and personal during my daily runs with the landscape is at a different intimacy level that transcends just the normal fleeting look out your car window with air cond blasting away. I feel and breathe Brunei everyday and I really feel a closeness to this place.
