hmm, on sunday, i went with my mum to funan primarily to get this usb hub for my ps3. then i came across this Running Lab store at level 3, in search of my asics shoes. the service there is DAMN GOOD! i went to ask for a size 9 1/2, when the salesman came back, he's very polite and helpful. First, he used this metal thing to measure my feet size, and asked a few questions.
salesman : would you like to try on the pair of shoes with socks? (i was wearing slippers)

mak: yeah sure.

salesman: Do you wear thick or thin socks sir?

mak: (whats the difference?) hmm, mix of both, thin i guess.

salesman: okay give me a minute.


he comes back, with thin socks, and asked a whole lot of other questions like have i wore GEL-DS trainer before, what's the distance i'l be running at, and how often per week, then he went on to tighten the laces, and suggested jogging/running on the threadmill to see if the shoes are suitable for my feet. he said something about my right feet overpronating a little, maybe because of fatique (my right leg was aching bad). took off my shoes cause he said something about arc thing. he also took two other sizes, 10 and 10 1/2 to try on, and to test on the threadmill, before deciding on the most suitable size, something about short distance one thumb space, long distance don't know what, he was speaking in some professional running terms. excellent service, one of the best, if not the best i've ever seen. strongly recommend this store to everyone! except that this store only deals with running, thus Running Lab. Oh and i've got a 20% discount too.




My Asics GEL-DS Trainer 13.


After which i rushed back home in my mum's car. Lucky for me, there was a silver nissan GTR parked just downstairs, marvelous! looks something like that, except that it's not showroom shiny.

I haven't really been blogging much, because school was hmm, stressful. Projects and tests, the worst is over, left with 2 presentations and 2 tests next week, followed by exams and i'm done. Recently, i just bought another controller and a guitar for my ps3, all i need is USB extensions and the whole band can play!

xinyi sent me this song a few days ago.

Love Story - Taylor Swift
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;

Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me; they're tryin' to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you...
