• Singapore Sundown Marathon, may 2009

  2 juillet 2009, par Mentom
  Ca y est ! J’ai (enfin, diraient certains !) couru mon premier marathon ! M’enfin, "couru"... (diraient certains). Quoi qu’il en soit, j’ai un joli T-shirt "Sundown Marathon Finisher 2009" et il est a moi !
  Les semaines precedentes je me suis moderement entraine, "half-hearted" comme on dirait en Anglais. Quelques entrainements par ci, quelques entrainements par la. Les 15-18 kilometres du dimanche matin me paraissent toujours assez durs, et la perspective de courir presque le triple de cette (...)   suite
  

• Measuring the World, Daniel Kehlmann

  This weekend I really took my time "off", what did not happen for a long period of time. I left the laptop and the cell phone in the suitcase, and went exploring some hiking trails on islands around Hong Kong.

  Plutot des recompenses ; je me dis en me recouchant, alors que l’avion entamait sa descente vers l’aeroport de Shanghai. Par chance, j’ai ete reclasse en business class comme l’avion etait complet. J’etais bien content de m’etendre sur un lit a peine 48 heures apres mon (...)   suite

• Crocodile alarm

  11 April 2009, by Mentom
  Finally, some hours this weekend can be spared from the daily routine activities! What better in Singapore then heading for a beach and some water sport activities : I will go to Pasir Ris beach and rent a small laser sailing boat, for some hours of coast-navigation between Singapore mainland and Pulau Ubin. You do need some sort of "driver’s ....err sailor’s license", that can be done in a three week end course, ended by an exam, including some theory and of course, a navigation test. (...)  continue
