Updating a little by a little

Pardon my lack of update.
Active social life that pretty much sums up to why I don't have the time to blog.
Anyhow, please be patient with me while I update this blog of mine.

8 December 2009:

Met up with Shi Pin at Cityhall.
It's been more than half a year since we last saw each other.

1st, we headed to Sixties and I ended up trying on this.

Did not get it though.

Next up, we headed to Xin Wang Taiwan Cafe located at City Link for dinner.

Shared 炸鸡排咖哩饭, 鲁肉蛋饭 and 天妇罗.
I dig their 珍珠红茶!
Their 炸鸡排咖哩饭 came in a huge portion and their 天妇罗 was a disappointment.

Photo of us!


We chatted really long that night and we thought we were their last customer of the day!
You know, having a blog really helps because it gets you closer to friends you don't meet up often.

Thanks for the X'mas gift!
Can we meet up before my hectic school life begins all over again?
We will fix a day okok? =)

9 December 2009:

Satisfied my crave by having a medium rare ribeye from Aston.

It was yummy but my favourite love is Chatiaubriand from Shashlik Restaurant.
I love their Baked Alaska too! Heh!

Headed out for a walk after the sinful dinner and I took my first picture with a christmas tree for this year.
Unfortunately your truly looks really bad (read: FAT) that I should not torture your eyes. It was just the angle the picture was taken lah.

The railing of the staircase looks so christmasy too and so are the backlights.


Lovely background!

Now, this looks more christmasy! My photography skill is definitely better. Hahaha...


A random purple teardrop.


The view as we look up the building...

I don't know why I kind of like thic picture.

Maybe it's time for me to invest in a decent DSLR hor?
Maybe 财神爷 should come pay me a visit! Heh!

I'm back!

Happy boxing day!

I'm back in Singapore.
How I wish I need not return back to reality.
Sadly, that's life.
What to do? I am not some rich tai tai.

I love love love love love Thailand so much!
It is not just the shopping, it's the people, the culture, the language.
Definitely not the traffic jams though.

The trip was so much more enjoyable than the last.
I am glad we went to Hua Hin, instead of just shopping and eating in Bangkok like we usually do.
Plus the extra companions who planned the itinerary in Hua Hin.
Totally appreciate that.

For the 1st time, I took soooo many pictures in a trip.
3.30gb worth of pictures just for a 6days 5 night trip.
Amazing!
Shall upload them to facebook soon.

We emo-ed on the way to airport on the last day. aw~

Though we had hiccups along the trip, somehow it was funny how everything seems to turn out to be good in the end.
It was just too amazing how everything seemed so planned from the Guy above.

I want more trips back to Thailand.
I wish to explore Chiang Mai...
Oh well.. 'til then.

Leaving on a jet plane... Yoohoo~

Hihi!

Will be flying to BKK in less than 10 hours time!
I am so excited now!
Besides BKK, we will be going Hua Hin for the 1st time!
Can't wait to see what Hua Hin has to offer.

My luggage is only 80% packed.
I still have 1001 things to complete.

Attended my first D&D in this company.
Was not too bad.
The food was great, won a prize, dressed to the theme.

It would be better if I knew more people and our table being more sporting!

Time checked, 3.21am!
See you on Christmas Eve.
Shall tweet if I find free wireless in the land of smiles!

Just now was Shangri-la, going Hyatt later, then off to Sheraton we will be.
All the 5 starts hotels! How cool....

Quality over quantity! No more overspending and overweight luggage back I hope!

6 December 2009 - SCSM 2009

Slept only at 2am the night before the run and had to wake up at 6.30am thanks to the morning call.

Took a train to Raffles Place with the Daphne, SzeHui and SzeYing.
AiLing, Anthony and SiCong pulled out of the race.... =.=

The fear of not completing, faint or vomit during the race.
It was more like an excitment for me!

Putting our best foot forward!


Just basically taking pictures while the train take us to our destination.

Daphne and SzeHui


SzeHui, SzeYing and Me!

We took a really really long walk to the starting point!

Fullerton Hotel, the hotel i absolutely love for its architect.

The 4 girls strolling in front of me.


We even had to walk the bridge that overseas Esplanade which is really close to our starting point.


While waiting for SzeHui.....

SzeYing and her friend.

Why my face look so white!? (Not pale but white!) =.=


I swear we must have walked for 3km or more before reaching the starting point!

As the race started, i kept my momentum and jogged for 5km non-stop (at the Shere's bridge) before adopting the run and walk tactic.

The once and only more presentable shot of me.


Blessed the weather that morning.
The sun went hiding behind the clouds which makes the run a lot easier than expected.

I am not someone who have a really active sweat gland however that was the very first time I pespired until I was drench with sweat. I could even feel the chill when wind blew!
Pardon me, I am just amaze by myself. Haha...

Anyhow I clocked the timing of 1:17:45.
2 mins behind my targetted time.
Secretly, I am so proud of myself., not bad for a 1st timer. Hahaha...

After the run.... looked so worn out.


Rejoined the girls then off to Jurong Point we head for our brunch before home sweet home.
Dehydrated until the max after the run. Had to kept replenshing the fluid.

My 1st ever medal ever.


I am very sure it is not going to be my last! =)

1 year ago, I never thought I would be able to complete a 10km run
Remembered joining TNP's 10km Big Walk with the FOC peeps many years ago and it was really torturous. We took shortcuts, had many resting points before we completed it and I told myself 10km was really horrendous and I shall never do it again!
Well, I guess time is different now. :)
Now that I have done it, I no longer fear any 10km runs anymore and am more motivated to improve on my timing.
Intend to join Sundown Marathon that is happening on 29th May 2010.
Anyone?

Christmas is nearing!

Went to Sitex at Expo a couple of weeks back with Daphne and Sze Hui.
At least Ai Ling and Anthony are nice enough to send us there. Save us the hassle of travelling there by public transport.

Daphne is the biggest spender of the day with her new laptop holder and a Canon Ixus 200IS.
After lemming for a camera for as long as I can remember, she finally bought her first proper camera and is now a canon convert!
Apparently she is reeeally happy with her buys!


Her temporary camera case! Haha.... (internal joke)


Joked about how much her camera looks like a phone with its touch-screen feature.
The back looks like a touch screen phone with the call and end button at the 2 sides and a tracking navigator in the middle.
I am still very amuse by her camera! Hahaha....


Although I did not get anything from Sitex, headed down to the John Little sale that was just a few halls away.
My loots of the day.

Wanted to get more toiletries or cosmetics unfortunately not all brands participated in this mega sale event.

From Expo, we lugged our heavy bags and squeezed with the crowd to Chinatown just to satisfy our craving for Koi before heading to Vivo.

Went to SzeHui's favourite place, Bakerzin for dinner.



I had glass noodle salad.


It tasted really gooooood!
Love the soury taste that makes you 胃口大开!
I miss the salad already. =(

Playing with my handphone camera.

This is me!


This is Daphne, I think she looks really funny here! HAHA... Cyclop!


2-headed SzeHui..... took this picture while she was complaining to the manager how bad their service was.


Headed to Vivo's christmas tree to take some photos and to testthe night shots on Daphne's camera.

The very pretty lighted christmas tree!


Awesome star at the tip of the tall tree.



Don't you just love how the whole area light up with the christmas decos everywhere?
I love it! =)

A super random photo at Xin Wang Taiwan Cafe....


So busy with everything that I could hardly find time to blog... Aw~
More pictures coming by soon...

While it last

Enjoy my last night of private moment

I had no problems adjusting since the day Jie got married.

Now...I have to adapt again.

It is not anything bad just that I have to learn to share again.

Anyway, time flies don't they?
Realise my time is pretty pack this week.

Still a far way to my well-deserve break!

The run...

Standard Chartered run tomorrow!
My 2nd run for the year and my 1st 10km run.
I feel kind of excited.
I am looking forward to it.


Collected the racepack from Marina last weekend.

Not the usual Adidas as their sponser this year but New Balance.

Kicking off the race at 8.30am in the morning.
Imagine the morning sun shining down on you making you perspires even before the start of the race...
In any case, it is better than having a pouring rain greeting you right? Plus we get to take public transport there. No need cabs!
Always look on the bright side! =)

I just tried my running tee and... it's defect!
The left side of tee is wider than the right, obvious excess cloth. =(
Nevermind if you don't get what I mean.
Fixed it with a 3M sticky tape for now.
It better not come off tomorrow if not i'll be stuck with a really obvious horrifying running tee!

A super random KTV session at Clementi's PartyWorld one Tuesday night.


Should head to bed soon.
Goodbye!
