In with the new

Here are to the new things in my life.

First. New Running Shoes.
Yes, the old pair finally called it quits during a run last week. Guessed the water from the rained out soccer session last Saturday had something to do the sudden demise.

For the new pair, decided to get Asics instead of the usual Nike. Besides they were 30% off.

Second. New CDs.
I don’t listen much to music, so I can’t really explain my sudden craving for Chinese Songs. First it was Wei Lian’s(Project Superstar winner) Debut Album, then recently it was a Compilation of old Chinese Songs from the 80s and 90s.

Don’t ask me the title of the songs. I just enjoy the music.

Third. New Books.
Books, ah, the caviar for the mind. Can’t imagine a long train journey without a book to rest my eyes on. Without something to read means my eyes either linger at the same old advertisement boards, or at the empty spaces which are not already taken up by other passengers (or at the passengers if they are interesting enough), or just a quick shut-eye.

From the local library, two local books for light reading,

And from the bookstores …
