New Love

I found my love during this Christmas, and i also found a 知音人 as well!!

Hohohohohoo....

I am treating myself one piece a day now - 生活就是這樣簡單, 滿足.

Life of Pi

I'm not a good movie critic and i'm certainly not good at deciphering hidden messages in movies. 

I'm satisfied if i'm happy walking in and feeling the same when i walk out. This is how i felt when i walk out of the cinema last night after having seen Life of Pi.

This movie is definitely a must see for this Christmas. It's probably a deep-enough story for those who loves philosophy and a simple entertaining enough story for those like me who can't read deeper meanings that comes with.

I'm very tempted to give another go at the book, although i've heard that it's not an easy read. I am amazed how Ang Lee managed to turn such an abstractly-written story into something that most of us can relate to and understand.

Next movie on the list - THE HOBBITS!!!

All I want for Christmas...

It's the time of the year where you can buy yourself presentSSSS with legitimate reasons again!!!

I've made a list of what i want for this Christmas- 

1. TRX Suspension Training Home Kit
2. Thigh-high 4-inch heel boots or more shoes in general! LOL
3. Ipad 3
4. Samsung Note II
5. New wallet
6. More gym stuff from lululemon

I feel so greedy now...in general i just need a BIG bonus to get everything!!

But i need to get real...can't afford them :( so I've made another list of things that are priceless)

1. Good health
2. Get toned
3. More time with friends & family
4. More "me" time 
5. Run more
6. Be as happy as possible!

Still feeling greedy LOL...i'll save the rest for next Christmas :D

Fat Christmas

I had my first Xmas celebrate with the office last friday and we did secret santa like always - look what i've got. 

It's a bag FULL of mini peanut M&Ms!!!! How much exercise would i have to do to burn all those M&Ms off?! 

And you see, there's only one opening in the bag, so it means its only for my hand to go in and it's NOT meant to be for sharing LOL


Sad news though - My boss announced in the afternoon that 99.9% that he'll be leaving the company and his last day will be 31st Jan, that is all because that we don't have enough jobs/projections for next year...

To be honest, it worries me. First thing is that he's probably the best boss i've ever worked for, so easy going, hands on with his admin duties, understanding and he takes care of my career. 

Second, he's probably the only person who is freed up to do business development, if he's gone, who the hack is going to find more jobs for us?! Soo ironic...

Let's hope we can land some jobs between now and Jan so that he could stay for bit longer :(

Fingers crossed.

Options

I saw a bunch of moms and possibly grandma's on my way to work this morning, it gets me thinking about "Options".

I've always loathe having TOO much options, whether from restaurant menus or picking up presents. With so much options, i'm spending way too much time to decide whether to have A or B or C or D, cos they possibly generate different level of satisfaction.

You see, i'm always seeing myself at the receiving end of having options and loathing it, but having seen those moms and grandmas today...I fuddenly felt an overwhelming respect for those who provides options for others.

Well my train of thoughts goes somewhat like this - 

1. Seeing soccer moms waving goodbyes to their kids on the schoolbus the moment they got on and until the bus is out of site.
2. Imaging what if when i'm a mom?!
3. IF i become a mom, how good a mom could i possibly be?


there's 4, 5, 6, 7 and on and on but that's not important

Parenting is difficult as it is and there are a lot of times in the past where I wonder how come my mom can't offer me this or that so that I could've become someone exceptionally intelligent or super successful.

That makes me realise how much "options" parents have to give their kids. I'm incline to be a parent (if i'll ever be one that is) who let their child (or children) to choose whoever they want to be or whatever is that they want to do, but in order to do that - you need to give them the means to do it.

They want to become a ballerina - you gotta pay for the lessons
They want to become a professor - you gotta pay for the education
They want to become an athletic - you gotta get them to the training sessions
They want to become a responsible citizen - you gotta teach them how society works and what's right and wrong (or if they're old enough - there is no right or wrong)
And IF they want to become a hobo - you gotta make sure they're persuasive/ charismatic enough so that they'll be taken care of by other people.

From now on - I'll not loathe for being given so much options. I'm gonna appreciate every options that i'm given. OK maybe not with what lunch i'm gonna have today but everything else then! LOL

Bits & bobs

Just some bits & bobs on the last trip - i really enjoy the trip and with Xmas coming up...i'm in a relatively good mood everyday (at least until today it is!) LOL

Panorama of Cambodia international airport - looks very cool , isn't it?

Dessert 2!

Chilling by the pool after race...waaaakakak

Dessert 1

At breakfast table - soooo much food!

Foodie Motorbike Tour in Vietnam  (China  Town)

BBQ Goat breast & Seafood!

5:00 am sunrise before run

After race - waaaa, hot dole lei

Zoooooooooooooom! 

老"粒"

Today I 老"粒" my colleague's 嫁女餅. I was secretly convinced that they have to be super tasty, soft & moist!

But......turns out they are 好 DRY arrrrr....>.<  ( picked Kei Wah one!)

Hahah lucky i only "粒" one, otherwise waste sai...lol

Starting Fresh

Not to dwell on subject matters again but the "you left my clean dry clothes on the liner"  thing happen AGAIN this morning!

As usual I AM the one who's nagging at 7am, but well he chooses to do it at 7am, so ..huh?!

This time, the excuses was - I haven't even finish starting out what i'm doing yet i have to eat my breakfast and prepare for work!! 

- If that's so, then why even bother to do the clothes? Can't it wait til tonight?

I wasn't even worked up this time - again "It's the thought that counts", i have two hands and two legs, although i got a cold but i'm pretty damn sure i'm capable of getting my dry clean clothes off the liner and put them back in my drawer. 

Anyhow, right after he finish breakfast, he got on and took mine off the liner in a 悔氣 kinda of manner. He just doesn't get it, does he?

I just thank him and get on with my routine for work. 

I sound pretty pathetic, don't i? I just can't help thinking that this is the end of this relationship. He rationalized all my "nice gesture" & "caring" into "this is just normal"

Ok i admit, i have attitudes and maybe lots of them but we just can't seem to be in the same room peacefully anymore. It's too much for him & too much for me.

Today, all i felt was that "I WANNA BE FUCKIN SINGLE!"

And for that, i'll be giving up cheap rent and vacations, yet the voice in my head tells me that it's the right thing to do.

2013 - new year, fresh start. Done deal.

ATTACK!!

Went to Body Attack class in GMP this morning...
Waaaaa...still hard as i remember, so many moves haahah...still mixed up all the coordination. Looks really silly when every else is doing "left leg, right arm" and i'm "left leg, whaaaaaattt arm?!" lol

But Keroro said i'm much better than last time!! At least i don't look like i'm dying!!! *Woohoo*

I think i'll go to more attack class if i'm not doing bootcamp, i especially like the jump lunges - i obviously can't do it continuously like Pam does but I can really feel the pain afterwards, so it must be good for the legs, i need my love handles and my inner thigh fat to GO AWAY!!

BURN BURN BURN!!!

LMFAO

I watched LMFAO concert last night (with Redfoo - the guy with a massive afro ) and I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!

I dance, dance, dance, dance and dance cos everyone is doing it and it was soo dark - wakaka...no one would have notice that i dance like a frog LOL

Their music is highly recommended - their MV & live performance is superbly entertaining!! Good laugh, good fun!

Monday

Went to my first BC after a long time, I genuinely cannot remember the last time I BC during the weekdays.

Last night it was T5 -3 = big guy & me

It was great to see him cos big guy has almost completely disappear from the face of the earth for the last few months, it's good to see him despite that it was probably one of the worse day in his career life. 

I can absolutely relate to him and these things happen all the time at work. Even without having worked with him nor knowing what he actually do, i still have no doubt that he is more than competent in doing what he does, you can just tell by their personality & attributes. So knowing the potential of what you can become (regardless whether you'd like to or not) but being denied that opportunity is really hard to make peace with. It reminds me of a Chinese proverb- 懷才不遇.

As a friend, the only thing we can do is to trying cheering him up as best as we can but this is something that only he can overcome in time. 

I seriously think that in his situation, none of his competence as leader was in question, it's purely bureaucratic. Promotion means paperwork & justification. Less justification, less chance to being questioned and bombarded. That's how the system works. Not that i agree with it but once you're in the system, there seem to be no way around it. It all comes down to whether you're boss is a person with conscience and whether he/she is willing to fight for your greater good. 

Big guy if you're reading this ----- We are fighters and we never give up!!

I have so many thoughts in my head these days, which i don't even know what to write!

I am starting to get a little worry about the Unicef half marathon to be very honest, I know i can finish it, it's just a matter of time and how badly beaten i'll be the day after. 

Tai Hau seems to be ultra confident about doing his Angkor Wat half marathon in a reasonably good time....Aii...sometime i really envy him who has the capacity to improve fast and strong. 

I've been to bootcamp 6-7 months now. Whilst i do not deny that I've made progress but just a lot slower than anybody else, people who's join for 3 months have already outgrown me >.< I feel a bit useless sometimes even though knowing that i'm doing the best i can. 

Whilst being envious is not really productive, i guess it's up to me to just work as hard as i could and not having to be injured every now and then...



Mmm...i have a fudden crave of awlfully choco cake...Arrrggghghgh!!

Lunch Entertainment

As if regular burpees isn't hard enough...-.- 

Day 3

I never really knew how I get by my first 2x years of living without regular exercise. It's been the 3rd day I haven't even drop a sweat and it's mentally irritating, I felt like my whole body became soft, all muscles turned into fat....well i probably deserved it cos i could've done some core exercise at home but am just too lazy XD

Another BIG dinner tonight :D very looking forward!

I tell myself that i'll work extra and go running every night starting next week, even on bootcamp days...but only if my leg is feeling less painful.

Was talking to a colleague yesterday about injuries in general, she scared the shit out of me with her story.

She said a friend of hers got injured while playing tennis, probably tore the muscle on the (left or right) thigh, and it hurts even when he walks. He thought give it sometime and it'll get better eventually, and of course like us hardcore ppl, he kept going hiking and even went on a holiday in Phuket with his gf walking along the beach. At one point, it was soo painful that he couldn't walk anymore and had to stop while walking on the beach.

Since it doesn't really look like a normal injury, a month later, he went to see a doctor. Doctor gave him inflammatory medication but still, it seems that it's not getting any better. He went on and see a few others but conditions remains the same. And finally he went to see a bone specialist and it turns out that his ligament was torn!! The doctor believed that the wound started out only to be a few centimeters but by the time he was in the specialist, it expands to over 10 centimeters already (well at least now we know why it's so painful!!)

Story doesn't end here but to cut it short - he went under the knife and repair the ligament but the wound is not healing and starting to get puss around the incisions, at the very end, he had to switch doctor, from a bone specialist to a plastic surgeon(?! why plastic surgeon i have no clue). and the surgeon had to un-stitch the wound, attached it with a machine that is specially use for sanitizing internal wounds, wait until the inflammation goes down and then had to cut a piece of his flesh on the other thigh to cover up the wound that was not able to heal properly.

This whole drama lasted for half a year, simply because he thought it was nothing but a sore muscle at the first place.

Scared the shit out of me, so now i'm staying put until the pain on my thigh is gone!

好想打邊邊呵....lol 

Been thinking about this since 6pm last night!

Cute Neighbours

Had the cutest conversation with a girl working next door.

G - Girl
J - Me

Toilet doors opening

G: Hi, long time no see!
J : Hi, yea, how have you been (in fact, i just saw her last night in the toilet)
G: Good good, are you getting married soon?!
J: (....凸眼 & silence for 5 sec....) err....not that i'm aware of?! (唔通...something you know that i don't?!)
G: Oo no, just that it seems like you're working out so much these days and you look like you've lost a lot of weight!
J: (小許O嘴) hah...no just doing my regular exercise
G: Waa...you do a lot of exercise wor. We see you running everyday!! (J note - an absolute exaggeration!) and you've lost quite a bit of weight since you guys moved in 2 year ago, is that right? you guys have been here for more than 2 years now eh?
J: yea..a bit more than 2 years. 
G: (smile) we are very 8, we are always keeping an eye on you and your colleagues  you guys seems so healthy!
J: Hah...we tried, sitting too much (blahblahblahblahblahblah)...

Conversation went on for another 2-3 mins..

Ok, the latter part of this convo maybe a bit creepy for the fact that they are always eyeing on our office, and they know exactly how long we've been in this building (?!!!!!) 

But i think she's very cute thinking that I'm doing exercise to lost weight because I am getting married (LOL). It seems like getting married is the only legit explanation for a girl to exercise on a regular basis...Awww...that mentality has gotta change!

I'd be even happier if she said i'm really toned but hellya will take it as a compliment anyway!


One of my favourite colleague (yes i do have favourites wakaka cos he always brings me things i loove!) has got me a gift from his vacation in India, i call it - PURE EVIL!!!!!

Tears at the corner of my eyes

So sad.....- see it for yourself :(





My boobs have shrunk already so that means it is IMPOSSIBLE to explain this with " your boobs are too big laaah" :( and i've only wore it once !!!! :( 

This actually fulfills another myth - "the more you like something, the sooner it'll break" 越鍾意, 越快爛". 

That means - have to earn more $$ to switch to lulu instead!! lol

The art of randomness

Wednesdays are not my usual favourite of the week - don't hate it but don't love it. Feeling is pretty neutral or maybe slightly better towards the night cos you know you only have to get through Thurs & Fri then BAM!! - WEEKEND!!

As I walk home from work last night - I suddenly felt a stream of happiness flowing through from head to toe, absolutely fan'fuckin'tastic!! (excuse me french but it felt THIS good!)

I instantly tried to search - what is that exactly which makes me feel so vavafoom...and the answer is - none, can't think of anything at all. 

I worked extra hard? - No, not really, usual effort, didn't go for 200% effort.

I got complemented on? Nope, there's only 5 ppl in the office including me, the only person who's gonna do that is my alter ego.

Had a good lunch? ...naya, probably the worse i've ever cooked.

Bought something nice online? ...soo close! stuffed everything i want in the online shopping bag, just hadn't hit that "order" button, so not exactly

S being nice n sweet? Arrhhmm.....hell no.

So after some serious soul searching for 3 whole minutes, I just can't let it distract me from feeling so good. Maybe there is no reason to explain everything, maybe i'm gonna have a shit day tomorrow that's why god showered me with some love beforehand - who knows? life works in a mysterious way (ok, well not that mysterious but you got the jizz)

Ever felt like you're invincible? yeap, it's exactly one of those moments. I felt like i can do ANYTHING.

Of course good (or bad) things always comes to an end, but i'll never forget how that moment felt. I can't wait to have those little spontaneous random moment of joy again..

next time i feel this pretty darn good, I'll try to fly - LOL

Product Review 1

I've been watching a lot of make-up tutorial lately on youtube. It is amazing how make up really can change your appearance, IF you're doing it right.

Small eyes becomes BIG eyes
Inconsistent color tone becomes pinkish & glowing
Acne skin/porous type becomes smooth as a baby's ass

Anyway my point of this entry is to review some of the beauty products I bought and share with you whether they're useful or not. It is actually quite fun and exciting! (cos i get to buy n try new stuff *woohoo*!!)

A little less than a year ago, i couldn't care less going out with my uneven toned/yellow-ish make-up free face. There are 2 reasons that puts me off doing make-up.

First, I really don't like putting *things* on my face during the weekend when i'm being *carefree*. 

Second is that beauty products ain't cheap at all sista! Call me stingy but for a proper daily make up, you'll need -

1. Primer
2. Foundation
3. Brozner (well optional really, but i like the tanning feel to it)
4. Concealer (unless if your skin is flawless or almost flawless)
5. Blush & blush brush
6. Eye liner & eyeliner brush (no brush if u're using pencil or liquid, but i use gel)
7. Mascara & eyelash curler
8. A good quality make-up remover (for both face & eye)

But i guess anything pretty and nice comes with a price and as i see more holiday photos of myself and my *bare* face, I think it's time I kick up a notch and stop being laaazy, but how to do so without costing a fortune ? that's what i'd wanna achieve - Affordable beauty regime! 

Let's begin - 

I went to Sasa yesterday and bought the following -

1. Revlon Colorstay Longwear nail polish - Coastal Surf (a medium blue color) HK$60

Results -   

Review - I may not do a lot of make-ups but i do love nail polish. I've used a number of brands, and this is FANTASTIC!

As you can see, the color is very solid and i've only done one coating (I normally have to do 2 layers for other brands, even with O.P.I).

Verdict - Vibrant color, Very easy application ( I don't even have to use my nail corrector!), very spreadable yet solid, economical (most important!)


2. Maybelline - Mineral Pure Concealer (color: 02) HK$55

Results - Sorry, no pictures taken, was in a rush to work today (like everyday!), will probably do with some pictures to see the difference later. I've put this on my dark circles under eyes, over acne scars and spots.

Verdict - Concealer has been one of my must-have items in my purse. I give a 4.5 star for this. High coverage, not pasty and very light and easy to apply (no fuss). I am still waiting to see if it'll stay on for the rest of the day, but it is definitely a recommended economical concealer at the price of $55.

FYI: My skin type is between oily (in summer)& combination (in winter), and very blotchy at times when my face can't "breath"


3. Revlon - Just Bitten Kissable (color: 015 Cherish Devotion) - $98

 

Results - Sorri no pics!
Verdict: Crayon like lipstick/lip balm seems to be a heist lately, and i can see the point why women can go crazy, it's like drawing on your face! And even for me who almost never put on lipstick/lipgloss bought 2 (one from N7 and this one).

Pros: The line has a wide range of color collection,, very easy to store, great cute color

Cons: I find it kind of sticky and gluey, for a balm as they advertised it, it should be a bit more spreadable. So for $98 - i'd say try it out if you're curious, for a better result, apply a layer of traditional transparent lip balm first before putting this on.

*Phew* that's a long entry!! Took me quite a while!

Gratitude

You know how sometimes you'd sit and your mind starts to wonder off to the old days, your hay days in Uni, high school or even primary/kindergarten if you  remember(!)

There is one thing which my F. 3 head teacher told me and I still remember today. She said -

" If you're grateful for something or someone, say it out loud - who on earth could have guess that you appreciate them if you don't say it?!"

I 200% agree, sometimes we just aren't saying thankyou or actually showing appreciation enough (or rather saying thx TOO much to a point where it's not being taken seriously)

We take it for granted that our parents would always be forgiving, our partners will always be loving and our friends will always be loyal to us.

I want to tell T5 & any other friends who's reading my blog -

THANK YOU!!!! I'm grateful for the fact that you stayed in my life despite knowing all (or most) of my flaws! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

For some strange reasons, apparently i wasn't in such a good mood last night. Tai Hau was grilling me about it and it went from an ok mood to bad.

I really don't like it when he kept asking "what's wrong, what's with that miserable face"...for the thousandth times I AM NOT MISERABLE! There's just nothing in particular to be excited about.

Of course i can't bother to explain anymore cos it's like the millionth time already. If he wants to listen, he would've already.

One thing is that I do feel tired, strikes me as odd though while i do get at least 7 hours of sleep most nights. So it may not only be physical. I am a woman with a lot of worries, realistic ones and unrealistic ones and Tai Hau certainly make no effort to ease my worrisome nature.

So here is what i'll do today -

Things will eventually be ok...or at least that's what i'm hoping for!

Find Your Strong

I felt like I behaved very well today. I hadn't had any junk food today!!

Here's what I ate 

Breakfast - half banana, bowl of whole grain cereal mixed with K plus with skimmed milk, cup of joe (2% milk, no sugar)

Morning snacks - 1 apple sultana biscuit

Lunch - Homemade boiled mixed veggie with few slices of beef. A handful of dried cranberries, and the remaining 2 pieces of apple sultana biscuit

I ran last night, i bootcamped this morning and i eat right!

I felt stronger already! Hail to willpower!

Find Your Strong peeps!

Reminiscing

Received some old photos from ex-colleague at the University. It seems like a life-time away...

I've know mui-mui (sitting in the middle) since she was 3! and now she's grade 2!!

She remembered my name ever since she can speak...keke...everyone thought there must be something special about me that makes a 3 year old remember. Guess what -

I have the same name as a clown in a cartoon which she happens to watch everyday!!!!!!!! Arrgghhh! Oh well - she remembers anyway, that's what important :P 

Terribly inappropriate

*Deep breath* - I have not tell a single soul about it but i can't hold it in anymore!!!

I had the weirdest dream about my boss on sat night, so weird that it is STILL bothering me today!

Of course, i can't recall all the details but as far as i do, there was a story...and here goes the weirdest part - in that dream - I had a feeling that my boss fancy me and he kissed me - FRENCH!!!! (for the record, he wasn't a good kisser in my dream...lol)

Anyway...due to such awkward dream, i find it very difficult to face him today!

The ultimate question is - perhaps i fancy my boss?!! Oooooo disaster! :O hahaha

Anyway let see what happens!

Weight loss

Had not realised that i've really lost some weight (or at least looks like i have) until erin/big guy/sandee/sumi have said it!

Since i haven't been to the gym for such long time, i had no chance to actually get on the scale.

My only worries now is that i've dropped a bra size!! NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i wanna drop a JEANS size not boobs!! Gotta get back on the junk diet!!

Louis took this at the HR last wed, i like :D i finally look like someone who exercise regularly kekeke...

Quick thought

Just a quick thought -

I think if you are surrounded by good friends, whatever happens in other areas of your personal life somehow became manageable because they'll always be there for you.

I have to say...i think i'm pretty lucky :)

Hilarious quotes

I've seen a lot of quotes of the same kind lately, and this one is probably my favourite.

Why? - cos mysteriously - it's true 80% of the time!

Coca Cola Fun Run 2012

First Race of the year was the Coca Cola Fun Run 2012 - no kidding, again 10K was farther than i thought!!

I thought i've been trained quite well with HR and could actually do 8.5K without stopping, for some strange reasons, when it comes to a race, those pacing techniques, breathing techniques all went down the drain.

Haha lucky i'm no elite runner, i do wanna run faster but that's not entirely up to me. I enjoy the pain anyway :D

Managed to look up some photos of myself!

I look dead serious!! LOL

Bento

I haven't had the chance to see any of the pics we took in Tokyo yet but here's a glimpse -

Me eating a bento on our way to the airport...how graceful LOL (more pics to come i promise!!!)

A Lie

I found out that TH is lying about the whole "should not be doing more than 1 hr of exercise a day" thing.

What he meant was that I shouldn't be exercising for the second hour if it not with him, so that i won't be fitter than he is...

My reaction - 

F*c**** hell, get a bloody gym membership yourself then!!!


He's a bit weird lately anyway, i went onto bed early the other night because the medication made me drowsy and before i actually fell asleep i was checking FB and some other website, and he came to the end of bed and say like "You weren't sleeping which you said you will be doing, you could've surf and sit on the couch and keep me company"...

I was like ...."errmmm.....-.-"

For some of you, you may interpreted it as "ooh that means he loves spending time with you lah", but please don't be misguided, he is nothing like that...-.- he thinks i'm too clingy and needs too much attention. IHe IS unreasonable sometimes...

Sigh...

Tokyo

Had an awesome trip -

Day 1

Had a really rough start - flight cancelled, stuck in airport for almost 5 hours - lined up on the slowest queue possible at the immigration in JP - Tai Hau left his rucksack on the train that has ALL his most expensive items he brought onto the trip including all spending money, a canon 60D with new lens he just bought, ipad 3, Rayban Sunnies etc - Cab driver took the "LONG" way to our hotel and turns out he brought us to the wrong hotel...

Day 2

First thing first - TH was so lucky that no one took his bag nor anything inside and the conductor of the train kept his bag in one of the station. So setting off at 5:45 am and on the way to get his precious back - I have to say, i'll wake up anytime as long as he gets it back, otherwise I'm taking all the shit!! and we would probably have travel back to HK right away...lucky me *phew*

After picking up our day finally starts - since we're around in Ueno park already, we switch our itinerary and went to a lot of museums (can't remember their names, all of them are so similar - National museum of Tokyo, National Museum of Western Arts, Tokyo...my brain is the size of a raisin, so forget about the names)

The weather was very pleasant, not sunny all day long but it's perfect for sightseeing.

To be honest, i was kinda nervous because of all the political tension going on between JP & CN, i wonder if i'm gonna get beaten if anyone finds out that i'm Chinese, but who i'm kidding? it's japan...highly civilized country, people are sooo polite and that's something you'll NEVER EVER see in HK.

One instance during the trip at night where we were heading back to the hotel from a drink downtown, we saw an organization handing out food to the homeless at the plaza at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Complex. What impresses me is that they're all neatly lined up (literally straight line) and wait for their turn to get that small bowl of rice with maybe a bit of japanese condiments. Even the underprivileged knows the manners of simply not pushing, line up and wait for your turn. In HK, forget about it...you're lucky that you're not pushed off the bus/train during peak hour..

Day 3

TBC - have to be back to work now.

Weekend of soreness

What a weekend!

Owing to my laziness last week, i skipped bootcamp last last saturday and had to make up for it last saturday and you know what - WORSE. DECISION. EVER !!!

It's an established fact that last session of the month is always the toughest, and even though there were only 3 girls that day, NO MERCY!!!

AND it doesn't help that I signed up for the Vibram Training camp, it wasn't harsh at all but the two together killed me, I was walking in a very awkward way that even Tai Hau doesn't wanna be seen with me...lol

  

  

And no surprise, sunday was excruciating!!!! I had to run when i don't even wanna walk! 

But i finished the 10K anyway, my hope for finishing it within 60 mins was destroyed by my shakey legs...oh well there's always another 10K. 

  

But having ran a really tough 10K yesterday, it gets me thinking...how the hell am I gonna get through 21K....?! I guess we'll see on the 25th Nov!

Untitled

I am not sure what i'm busy with these days, all i know is that I haven't seen my T4 for i think almost over a month now. >.<

I blame that on my new passion for running because before i started running, those are my bodycombat time but these days, i can barely squeeze in one BC a week :(  - no like, no like! - but I have to be honest the more I run, the more i want to run. 

Frankly speaking - i'm no athlete - i run slow (average at 6:05 per km), but it is the trying to be better that drives me to be a better me. When i started to run regularly, i had to stop and walk soon after 1 or 1.5k just so i can catch my breath, but last wednesday at HR, i was able to run the whole 8.5K without stopping! And that's exactly what makes me going back for more!

Though it may sounds like betraying BC for running, but i won't stop BC, i may have left for a while but i'll definitely be back. In my utopia, i would have 36 hour that i can fit all the activities i wanna do in just one day!!!! how awesome would that be eh? lol

Though i haven't seen T4 but i have been kept update about Sandee's knee. I absolutely understand her utter frustration. The feeling of helplessness of not being able to exercise (or run) because of a physical condition. She must have felt like she's in hell now :( or worse! Fingers crossed that physio will soon take effect and that she can at least jog to ease the pain!

On a separate note - I have a strange feeling that ... i'm a bit lost these days. Like i said, it's a strange feeling, i can't even quite put what is wrong, but something is not right. I don't feel like i'm well rested, I haven't been able to see any of my friends, work ihas taken over everyday of life, can't even recall what i did during the weekends...what the F is happening?!

Am going away on holiday next week, i should be feeling all excited but all i can think about is how tiring it's going to be!! :( Being tired and busy is good when you know you're going somewhere, but i'm not so sure i know where this would all lead to. Life is too short to make things complicated - deep breath & take it easy...!!!!
