Mizuno Mt Faber Run

i don't know when exactly i found passion in running.. previously, and i m quite sure in 2007, i still hated running. i am always quite active in sports since secondary school days, from swimming, hiking, brisk walking, cycling to diving.. running was always my last alternative. Now, not only i found joy in running, i think i m addicted in joining all the competitive races!

hmmmm.. maybe i can describe running as Cinderalla? and i m the handsome prince. Cinderalla loses her glass slippers and when the prince finds her and then falls in love with her.. OMG sounds so odd. ok forget it..

Let's recall my run last Sunday morning. It's interesting to join another run which i've never tried the route before. ok, below is the pic of the race route for me to remember



well, it's a 10km race just like sundown. but it's actually a lot more challenging becoz the routes were rather hilly. so i predict my timing will not be better than sundown. Long-distance races can really train our minds to be stronger. of coz physically too. It's also a race between your mind and your body. If your mind is stronger than your body, (and with proper training) you can definitely complete the race with good timing. I stopped a few time especially when it's uphill.. i tot if i dun stop i'll be out of breath..yea such a procrastinator..

managed to take just 3 photos during the run.







look who's the one in blue hehe. she wont know coz she dun have me blog :D

i quite like the whole journey especially the Mount Faber park area. it's very scenic! the organiser could not close the affected roads but they engaged some traffic police men to control the moving vehicals. so when the cars passed us the air wasn't very fresh lo...but they provided sufficient water supply to the runners with 3 water points. not too bad.

after the run, me & lynn went to have our 2nd round breakfast at Mc D with another fren who took part too. He clocked a fantastic 56min.

Later part of the day was very much like having another race. How shud i call it? the MCC amazing race (me so creative huh? hee...) coz Ms Naughthy forgot to bring her keys and was locked outside her house. I rushed to city hall just to meet up with her housemate (who walked from the crowded PC fair at suntec to pass me the keys). When i reached Toa Payoh, it's already 10min to 4pm. we would be really late for our usual step class which is at 4. and I was perspiring all the way. amazing! when we reached cali it's already 4:20.. gosh.. got in the class looked at the clock showing at 4:25pm. what a record!

when my fren knew i went to gym after the run, he said i was powered by energizer. i was thinking hmmmm.. maybe huh

S.H.E - 最近还好吗?

S.H.E 你最近还好吗
斗牛,要不要片尾曲

挑一张耶诞卡写上满满祝福的话
地址写的是心底 你能不能收到它
天有点冷 风有点大 城市宁静而喧哗
这一个冬天我得一个人走回家
问自己习惯了吗
没有你每到夜裏回声变得好大
有没有什麽好方法让寂寞更听话
你最近还好吗 是不是也在思念里挣扎
你说会记得我 还记得吗
你最近还好吗
忙碌吗累吗 心还会痛吗
如果真不得已忘了我
快向快乐出发
有再多的牵挂都已没有权利表达
旧情人给的问候令陌生人都还尴尬
昨天远了 明天还长 回忆模糊但巨大
这样的深夜眼泪要怎样不流下
问自己习惯了吗
没有你每到夜裏回声变得好大
有没有什麽好方法让寂寞更听话
你最近还好吗 是不是也在思念里挣扎
你说会记得我 还记得吗
你最近还好吗
忙碌吗累吗 心还会痛吗
如果真不得已忘了我
快向快乐出发
你最近还好吗 是不是也在思念里挣扎
你说会记得我 还记得吗
你最近还好吗
忙碌吗累吗 心还会痛吗
如果真不得已忘了我
快向快乐出发

ordinary day

was out of office the whole day today.. was at woodlands.. this morning the taxi uncle's driving skill was err.. i think worse than me.. i felt i was going to throw up after reaching.. well.. it's just another working day at client's office..

received this piece from my ex classmate from JCS. it's not easy but let's try to work towards this idea :)

Embracing Imperfection

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burnt toast in front of my dad.

I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burnt toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults - and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences - are the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!

i see changes

i used to be a cry baby, not so much anymore

i used to be very timid, i ve turned into a much more courageous person now

i used to think dangling earrings are awful, i quite like wearing them now

i used to hate running a lot, i m in love with it now

i used to be very quiet, actually that's becoz i was cool.. and i m still a cool person.. (heheheh..)

life's too short to waste...

quote of the day: “The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” —Harriet Breecher Stowe

live life. enjoy life. do things tat make u happy. be with those who make u smile. surround yourself with ppl who make u laugh. and love with all ur heart..

hair issue

Early this Monday morning, colik W came in & greeted me "good morning". Then the next sentence from him was, "thank god your hair is still the same" (wavy hair). (yes, i did mention tat i wan to do hair perm again soon..) and all the GUY coliks were like.. making such a big fuss out of it. "No..u 'll look damn old" "straight hair suits u better.." "u look younger with it.." bla..bla..bla... then colik x was digging out some past photos taken 2 years ago. my hair back then was curly. I always tot tat was one of my best hair days.. n the boys were commenting tat i looked 15 years older. WAT!? & ms bad's comment was "ugly" hmmph! me not very hapi.. it's not tat i really care about wat ppl say.. i always get more critics than compliments on my curly hair..

OK.. i care a little..
