Yoke Weng: Beautiful Rainbow on the day Steve Jobs passed away

I was away last weekend and I hope all had a good run and breakfast.

I was in the Silicon Valley last week and it was raining almost everyday.  On the day that Steve Jobs passed away , there was a beautiful rainbow ( actually a double rainbow) – see attached photo. Other than that, the day went by just like any other day.

Eric recently asked if there was interest in the HK marathon – and looks like there is no reply. I heard that the 5 hour limit has been extended to 5 and a half hour. Maybe some of you may be interested.

As it is been raining quite a bit recently, I thought the tracks at Gangsa may be a bit wet, so will defer that location for a while. This Sunday, we will start the run from Dear Ldr house in Garlick Av, usual time. Not sure if we will proceed to the Sixth Av coffeeshop as it is very crowded on Sundays. Play by ear.

See you at the usual time at Garlick Av .

Regards

Yoke Weng

Good morning, Shih Pin, Pei Lin and Wee Boon.

Look at the handsome smile from Nai Eng.

Just before the run. 

Wow, look at the area outside the Botanic Gardens MRT Station.

Outside the newly-open MRT Station on an auspicious date: 9-10-11.

Wow, at the entrance to Botanic Garden just outside the brand new Botanic Gardens MRT Station. Just bought my EZ-link card on 9-10-11.

Just discovered: the forbidden fruit in Botanic Gardens. See, touch but no take-away.

Still fresh after 70 to 90 minutes of run, jog, plod and walk; that's the ABC spirit.

Look at the highly adaptable Seng Cheong (Still Hungry and Still Foolish); showering in the open and exhibiting his evolving six-pack.

2 Oct 2011 Run starts from SICC Sime Road

Since we didn't take a group photo and there are not enough photos to fill this post, Pei Lin has kindly contributed the 3 sketches below to show the difference between the emotional responses and facial expressions of men and women. 

Thanks Pei Lin.

Sketch 1
Obviously, women show a greater repertoire of emotional responses (and they show it on their faces immediately; see sketch 1) whilst men are more guarded in displaying their emotions (see sketch 2: either they have a narrower range of responses or they bottle them up and then do something else...drinking, smoking for the unhealthy ones and running, swimming for the healthier ones). 

Sketch 2

Sketch 3: 

Men, broaden your vision, horizontally and vertically!! Women like men with broad vision!!!!
