book reading

i've been reading The Hobbit without watching the movie yet. very slowly do i read, with the pace of about 5 to up to 20 pages per day, mostly because my time has been occupied by job, exercise, family etc, and i can only take some short time on reading. But i do enjoy it every time i read, books like this always bring my spirit to somewhere i can relax (mentally of course), and occasionally books also stimulate me to think over what kind of life i really want. like Hobbit hole, if i have enough budget, i would like to build one for me and my wife for our life after retiring.

don't know if Eucan would love reading like me or not? yesterday on the way home i found myself wishing he would be like me already, although deep in my heart i still know that he is who he is throughout his life.

new plans for this year

last week a colleague of mine came and told me i've been chosen as one member of the new team for the new car model, and have got a chance to be responsible for new parts. i didn't really believe that until yesterday my leader summoned and announced to me and another guy of our current team. today we had our first formal meeting for this new car model. i am very excited about this not only because of the chance of doing something different, but also that being chosen means ability being recognised. the schedule is tight, the plan will kick off right after Chinese New Year, but it's okay, because it's like an adventure to me, just like an unexpected journey to Bilbo i guess. i will do my best and put all i have got in this new project. i'm looking forward to it.

apart from the job, today i also got the front rim wheel of S80. well, it's time to improve my leg power. this year, i will be able to keep paddling at the speed of no less than 45km/h for at least 2 hours! this is my plan of the year!

let's run

i feel alive when having muscle soreness;
i feel alive when sweating a lot;
i feel alive when self-pushing hard;
i feel alive when enjoying warm weather;
i feel alive when seeing the crystal clear sky with long long clouds across and the wake of aeroplane;
i feel alive when breathing hard for fresh air;
i feel alive thinking when running;
Good morning!
Good run in the morning!
these are all what i got in this beautiful morning!
stand up and let's run!!
