Restarting a Blog





This blog has been in existence since 20 Nov 2011. Of which from 2013-2017. It was largely frozen. The running robot during that period was very busy juggling a day job and starting his little teaching business. That left him with little time for himself, hence, the blog was frozen in time.

Now that the day job is out of the way, the running robot has time to sit down and write what he had missed writing in the span of 4 years. That is if, the mad driven running robot don’t go crazy doing multiple jobs again.

Given that this blog began as a personal blog, a place to where the running robot shared his joys, frustrations and interests in life. So where do we go from here?

I am thinking along this framework:


The Running Robot Blog = Interests + Joys + Education + Opinion + Short stories*beta

Interests = Cars + Aeroplanes + Running + Army + Travel + etc.

Joys =  Great days + touching days

Education = I am a teacher as well as a personal coach, hence there will be things to teach naturally. Two of my pet subjects is entrepreneurship and income diversification, I will share some of those things over here.

Opinion =  I am entitled to my own opinion, right? Not too many of those though.

Short stories = This is in beta stage. I hope to write some fiction over here. Not sure when that will happen. But it is coming.



In summation

I do hope that I could, through this blog, bring some happiness and inspiration to your lives. I like to educate people and help them get ahead in their lives. In my day work, I help students and adults improve their lives one by one. Over here, while I may not be able to give the personal attention that I give to my students, but hopefully some of the strategies and thought could rub off and get you to a better place.

A friend lost...

It was a lazy afternoon at a coffeeshop in Bt Gombak. A brief look at the iPhone as my friend Leonard read through the alleged blog of a beligerent friend. A shrug and a smile later. "I know why you are feeling so this way. You are all grieving for the loss of a friend." "We all did what we can to convince him. But it will come to a point where you just had to let go." "He made his choice, and for better or worse, he will face the consequences of his actions. He should know that by doing all this he will lose his old friends. Yet he did it. You can't control another person man. Let him be...We probably don't mean anything to him now. So why bother getting angry over it." I nodded and remembered his words. For a long while, I toyed with the idea of replying to Asingaporean's loaded and aggressive reply to me on the public web. It was full of accusations and with no sense of guilt on his end. He has allowed his friends to be slained online and ev...

I fell in love today..... With a Suzuki Swift Sport...

My Mrs has been making some noise about the budget and my car Marchie lately, and we are contemplating selling it. Obviously, I couldn't bear to sell my first wife, Marchie. Nevertheless, I being visiting some used car dealers and trying to run up some numbers,like how much Marchie can fetch. Also if possible to find a newer car and hopefully not to pay so much. I came across a blue gray Suzuki Swift Sport, a bit older for my contemplation. I have being looking for cars that are from 2008 or younger. The Sport is from December 2007 and cost SGD$46,800. The price is cheaper than most other cars I being considering. For the benefit of overseas readers, cars in Singapore are ridiculously expensive and still getting more ridiculous. A normal new Suzuki Swift now cost almost $100,000. A new Sport will cost about $120,000. While Mrs has been asking me to consider living without a car. I have being having sleepless nights about losing Marchie. Back to the Sport, after some haggling...

Starry Night

Source: http://timmessick.wordpress.com/2010/04/09/desert-night-sky/ It has been a day of grief for me. Life dealt me a terrible hand today and I am forced to continue playing a losing game. It is mediocre compared to the life and death experiences daily that I once was used to. To be frank, perhaps I rather deal with those now than the petty politics I have to deal with now. Probably I felt more alive back then and life was much more meaningful. As I gaze upon the inky black starless sky out of my bedroom window. My thoughts went back to those starry nights... January 1998 I trudged across the soft sandy soil of the savanna grassland. I took a deep breath. The pungent smell of the strange savanna thorny flower permeated my lungs. I breathed out, vapour condensing in the cold night air. My ride, a Mercedes GD290 jeep stood in the distance. The mounted Milan missile launcher stood sentinel against the back drop of the night sky. Feeling the usual ache on my neck fr...
