And I had a little time a few days ago, and went snappy with the E-510. A view from the hotel room, facing some houses/shops instead of the bay...

Back in Yeosu ... part 2 of work
Having spent a night in Seoul (only for zzz... since only reached at midnight), I have returned to Yeosu for the second part of work. Due to advancement of schedule, I had to work on this saturday night. Not a problem!

Yeosu ... contender for World Sea Expo 2012
Shall be staying in room/s like in the photo below... "/s" and "like" becos I will need to shuffle between rooms, since I did not reserve for sufficient days, and the plans were so fluid that perhaps I will need to go somewhere else real soon. 
Just came back from an 1.5 hr run, and it was almost great. The run was around the bay area (again), and instead of getting lost in the city area last thursday, the bay area was a familiar (read: boring) place to jog. Great only because it was very cool, and there was very little perspiration. And I must say that I am proud of myself! 3 jogging sessions here so far! And this is only my fifth night.
When I was jogging around the bay yesterday, there was this kid who climbed onto the ledge by the pavement, that led to the stone-pebble beach some 3-metres below. I was so horrified that I stopped and stared at him. And then I carried him and set him down on the floor. He was so cute that he just looked at me, slightly puzzled. Not a shred of fear for this strange uncle who looked shocked. And I don't think his mother, who was tens of metres behind, was very impressed.
Anyhow, as I was jogging at the same area again, there were several kids doing the same stunt. Perhaps I was desensitized now and did not do anything... but the previous concern arose cos I am ... paranoid? No. I would want someone to look out for my loved ones as well, especially when it is a simple thing of stopping a dangerous action.
One of my favourite songs these days is a tribute to Ella's dog. It is such a sweet song that when I heard the song clearly, I fell in love with the feelings... Oooo... touchy-feely sia.
Anyway, just thought of dedicating this song to someone whose name has a similar ring to it...

A month long at home
It is hard to come by, with close to a month of sitting at home, driving around aimlessly, and doing very little about my life... errr ... the last part is at least constant wherever I am. Having turned 30 just a few days back, my favourite present was this phone call from my brother, with him, sister-in-law, niece and nephew singing the birthday song to me over the phone. While we already had a cake-celebration the weekend before, it was still nice to have people I love doing that.
Under the instigation of my colleagues, I have finally gotten my hands on a digital SLR - the Olympus E-510. Good package, I must add. Sure, it is not one of the "big-two" brands, but it is probably what I need at an entry level. Anyhow, it may be another of my 5-minute passion ... and if I think I can start taking good photos from now on ...
With the StanChart marathon drawing near, I had been training progressively. However, after the last 18-km run, there were the familiar abrasions at the standard places. And I also fell ill, not unlike the time after the first marathon. Then there was this news about the Chicago marathon on Sunday, where a man died, and many were admitted to the hospital. While the heat conditions were not unfamiliar to us in Singapore, it was probably not what the people expected in Chicago.

With a long trip to South Korea starting tomorrow, I guess there will be less time to train (excuses!). Perhaps since there is no way this guy would be trying to complete the run in record time, he should be safe... but I better know my limit.
