I haven't done much physical activity since last week mostly due to the haze lingering over the island. I have instead chosen to spend most of my time browsing Reddit, listening to obscure/indie/funk music as well as reading my little handbook of basic theory driving test and a book a friend lent to me titled Quiet by Susan Cain.
While browsing youtube, I also discovered several homegrown bands and I've taken a liking to Typewriter's That Deepest Blue :)



So I've spent yesterday, in the smokeless confines of my home, reading as well as happily listening to music on my ipod. My brain cautions me against being too sloth-like, so i'm pretty restless. Still, its good to have a lazy weekend afternoon doing absolutely nothing, which, is doing something.

I've not given much thought about what University life will be and i'm living army life on a week by week basis. I'M STARTING TO FEEL THAT I SHOULD EMBARK ON SOME GRAND QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE but I don't know where to begin. I'm just reading books for now, watching movies or whatever media I can get my hands on. Otherwise, I'll just expend that energy working out. Physical activity is an outlet for me to release that energy.

I'm glad to say that I've achieved my gold standard for IPPT once more. The constant running helped me quite a bit. The training actually helped me to shave a cool 30 seconds from my previous record. However, I felt that I could have done better because the run was held on a day with PSI hovering near 200.
It was possibly the worst run I'd ever had. I was forced to gulp acrid, dry air which caused a searing sensation in my throat as well as the increased production of mucus. I finished the run, gasping and choking but felt fine after catching my breath.
The only good effect of the haze, I feel, was that it gave the sunset a brilliant red hue which was beautiful.
