Unfit, Shocked, and Broke

I went for a run today, and I am worried for my upcoming IPPT next year. It was an easy run, around Bukit Panjang Ring Road, but I couldn't complete it. I've got to start my running regime again - Getting terribly out of shape.

I took a slow walk to the Plaza to get myself some groceries. Bought a bottle of shampoo and my favorite magazine, FIRST. Apparently, the extended version of <The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King> would be available on the shelves on 15th December 2004. I'm looking forward to it to complete the trilogy. Maybe I can hustle someone to buy it for me for Christmas. *Evil grin* Anyway, I was in the queue, behind a family of mother and daughter, and was thinking to myself, "Boy that's a lot of groceries they're purchasing. If I were buying all that, I'll definitely let the person behind me go first if they don't have many items to pay for." By some stroke of cosmic fluke, the older lady offered to let me go first. I was both amazed and appreciative, and thanked her for her graciousness. It's good to know that people are still considerate to others' feelings.

I followed Weiliang to Sim Lim Square, after my run, to get a new battery for my desknote - I lost the battery, somehow, on Thursday this week. Frankly, I have no idea how it happened. Expensive lesson, it costs a hundred bucks. Oh well, guess I've to be more careful next time.
