Getting Back on Track

2km of morning walk...
2km of morning jog...

I hope I can continue the habit and get back my fitness. It is a challenge to wake up early at 6am. (Ok fine, I got out of bed at 6.15 or so...) My mind and body is still half asleep but I am glad that I managed to complete it.

Read an article at Fitness First on "Training for a Half Marathon". It is quite a simple yet achievable steps/goals for me. At the end of the day, I may not be really training for half marathon, but I believe it will guide me to the right direction. I just wanted to shed some pounds and complete my 10km runs more at ease. Recent weight gain doesn't help me much! =x

Shall head to Fitness First later for a gym class. My first Body Step class. Hope I can enjoy! haha...

开心食验室 Food Laboratory: Tofu Cheesecake

When I was having my lunch at the Sun with Moon restaurant, I saw the, supposedly, famous Tofu Cheesecake. Hence I decided to google a little to see if I can grab hold of a simple recipe. I saw two recipe and decided to settle with this one. The only tough part is to get the toufu dry and smooth. Hope you enjoy as much as I do...

从什么都没有的地方
到什么都没有的地方
我们 像没发生事一样
自顾地 走在路上
忘掉了的人只是泡沫
用双手轻轻一触就破
泛黄 有他泛黄的理由
思念将 越来越薄
你微风中浮现的 从前的面容
已被吹送到天空
我在脚步急促的城市之中
依然一个人生活

我也曾经憧憬过 后来没结果
只能靠一首歌真的在说我
是用那种特别干哑的喉咙
唱着淡淡的哀愁
我也曾经做梦过 后来更寂寞
我们能留下的其实都没有
原谅我用特别沧桑的喉咙
假装我很怀旧
假装我很痛

而且也很痛

Never Gone...

It has been more than six years since the incident happens. Articles, records are being removed online and all the news we can find is via blog sites. Thank you, Romeo Tan for reposting the CNA article. Now I have also learned the importance of re-uploading the photos (still giving credits to the source) before the site or user took it down.

Through these years, we lived on. We continue to live and bracing our lives through thick and thin, wearing smiles wherever we can. But it is always during this period of the year that we realised, once again, he never left...

His smiles, his actions, his behaviours is deeply engraved in the memories of me, and I am sure many others too. I hope he is doing fine now, wherever he is. We will, on the day of his death anniversary, visit him again. He is still the pillar of EC0118. Thanks Jeremy. See you soon.

I was browsing through the blog site created in the memory of late Jeremy, wanting to take a look at the photos posted. Unfortunately, the photos are now dead link. I may log in to do some editing. (Hope his bro and him don't mind.) Here are some of the photos I gathered:
