1AM Run

It is a habit of mine to immediately follow long, crazy-assed posts with extremely short ones, so here be a picture of me after a 1am run:

Note(!): the mushroom cloud of doom that is my hair! I originally planned to have it cut right before the finals, 3 weeks from now, and that plan was all fine and dandy until a Vietnamese friend looked me in the eye and said "In my country, cutting hair before exams is bad luck."

Err ... ouch. Goodbye barber, hello uncomfortable sideburns.

Oh you stop that, you.

Nah, it's not that bad. Mine's worse (when it is at its longest length.)

And why you run at 1am in the morning?!

Mandy said...

Runs: Extremely fulfilling and restlessness-eradicating. :D

Valarie said...

Where do you usually go for the run? Around NUS campus or along Pasir Panjang to West Coast? Haha!

@Zhe Rong: I run after midnight, actually, and I came back at around 1 am because that's how long it takes to complete a single round. No other choice - there are too many cars and trucks and buses otherwise. (NUS buses stop at 11)

@Mandy: Also very much like torture, actually. ;-)

@Val: Around NUS campus la. The A1-A2 route. Is Pasir Panjang to West Coast any better?

Smartee said...

Wow... you tend to run in the evening? I find I can't see where I'm running.

In the early hours of the morning, actually. The streetlights are pretty good over here, and because my friend and I only stick to paths, there's no risk of falling into a ravine or being attacked by vampire bunnies.

Wait, did I just say vampire bunnies?!

I should go to sleep now.

Hahaha! Don't know. I like to get out of campus once in a while, even if it's just West Coast. Hahaha! I like the park there! *reminds me of... er... ahem* =p

Looks like everyone is running now! As the exams draw closer there are more and more midnight joggers around my campus as well - I remembered seeing a group of them as I made my way to the supper place at 3am in the morning. Wheew. I guess it's an excellent way to destress :)

Ah, and speaking of which, I usually cut my hair before exams so that I won't be bothered by the wiry strands of mine. Whooops.

Good luck!

@Val: reminds you of ... ahem?!

*wiggles eyebrows* WHAT AHEM?!

@Teddy: Thanks, mate, you too. =)

I hope you're maintaining a healthy sleeping schedule (who am I kidding). Anyway, God bless for the exams! Mine's in June next year... T_T
