Busy Weekend II

Phew! 2 busy weekends have passed!!

Finally, finally...we are going to see the transformation of "a chick into a hen" soon for Qing! Wahaha....Held a hen's party for her on Friday, with her dressed up into a "buttercat" or "catfly", whichever way you wanna call her. Haha... Coz she's dressed up in a funny combination of a pink, fury cat hairband + purple butterfly wing. On top of that, a sash was made for her to wear. Ke ke.....

The combination turned out to be like this:



Haha...we had some Arabian food but sadly, due to time constraint (& bride's resistance), she did not smoke the sheesha. :( Food took extremely long to arrive. By the time the food reached our table, our glycogen have already been converted to glucose. :S After dinner was a short stay at St James, with the bride in her pretty & sweet outfit walking in & out of the various clubhouse. Wahaha....

After a late nite sleep I was made to wake up very early for my sis's co family day @ Singapore Flyer. Yawnz.... I just wanna experience the ride. wahahaah.... Thank god, the weather was nice & sunny & I managed to take alot of nice nice pics with nice nice clouds hanging in the sky. Hee hee....


I would say that the ride was ok lah. Luckily there's 2 cute Australian kids to play with & I was taking pics from each & every corner in the capsule. If not I bet it'll be very boring.



Other than the ride, guess what we did @ Singapore Flyer??

Look at the pic below. Can you guess it???

Fish Spa! Got it right?? Given a promo price of $18 instead of the usual $28 for a 30min session, we decided to go for!!

Well, it felt a little ticklish initially, but after a while it felt nothing more than a mere vibration on your legs, just like an Osim massage chair. Haha....The turkey-borned fish were really hardworking! They didn't stop nibbling off the dead skin on my legs.

Result: Smooth soft legs!!!

One gentle reminder for those who wanna try fish spa. Best time to go will be in the morning, that's when the fish have the most energy. Ermm...I also think coz they are the hungriest in the morning. Never go after 10pm coz the fish are too tired by then.

Sunday was the 3rd & final 10km race I'm doing for the year. Which means my next race will be a half marathon during the Stan Chart in December!!!! Well, back to the Nke Human Race. We were all in the red colour race tee. So when everyone started running, it just looked like a bull chase. Not a nice running route with lots of bottleneck along the way as it covered alot of narrow pathways & small tunnels. Glad that I've completed it though. Going to stay away from running for 1-2 weeks before I start training for 21km. But how do I train for it then? Haha... We shall see lah. :p

Busy Weekend

I think this weekend really marked the start of my busy weeks, with quite alot of activities lined up from end August till mid September.

Sat was the thank you dinner from Cy & Qing for all bros & jie meis @ Fish & Co. Oh well, a very quick dinner for me as I had to rush off for the Singapore Fireworks Festival. Bought a pair of Hippo boat tix so that we can watch the fireworks from the river. Hee hee.... It turned out to be a really rainy day, so all I could do was to pray hard that the rain would stop by the time the fireworks started. Though the rain did not stop by then, I think we were pretty lucky that it was nothing more than a drizzle then. So the fireworks festival proceeded as scheduled. Yeah! It was great manz! A good chreography by the Korea team! And I love the sound of the fireworks too! Pop.... POp... POP!! $23 bucks for the worthy 15mins. Maybe next year we should charter a boat & have to all to our family & friends! :)


My 2nd 10km run was completed on Sun. Yeah!!! This time rund it's the SAFRA Bay run. Route was a little more challenging than Shape run as we gotta run up the slope on Benjamin Sheares Bridge. But then, towards the end, it was somewhat unpleasant due to the human jam caused by the narrow pathway. Nevertheless, I completed my run in 1:17hr. Slightly worse than my Shape run though, where I clocked 1:14min. 3 mins of difference! Haha....

Tired tired. Need to rest & "nourish" my legs for next week's Nike Human Race!!! I think I'm nuts to have signed up for so many races!!! Haha...

Start of Marathon Season

Yeah! I completed my first 10km run yesterday & now my thighs are aching, but luckily no aching very badly lah. Hee hee....

Together with a bunch of gfs, I took part in the annual Shape run yesterday and this marks the first marathon I'm participating for this year. A few more races to come. Next month will be doing 2 more 10km runs, SAFRA Bay run & Nike Human race. Then the greatest challenge will be t do a 21km run in Dec. Haha... I think running 21km at one go is pretty scary. Nevertheless, I shall just give it a try. Maybe will do a 42km next year? Haha....

Anyway, yesterday's run was pretty relax. Took it quie easily as I do not wish to strain myself so much since I gotta do another 10km run in a month's time. So I just took my time to enjoy the run at my own pace. Hee hee....

After the run, LLT & I headed to Sentosa for the sun, sea & sand. But a pity, sun wasn't strong. It drizzled abit, stopped & rained again. But it was very breezy & I had a good nap on the wooden bench. Haha... But just a little suay that I kenna birdshitted again!! Yeah, 2nd time within a month? Who else can be "luckier" than me?? But looking at it from another angle, I was really lucky coz the shit only landed on my arm & not anywhere else (like FACE)!

Given the lousy weather, we decided to leave Sentosa earlier than planned to catch another movie at Vivo. In the end, we encountered a more interesting Peh Peh that the R21 show which we were watching. Haha...

I've labeled him as ti-ko-pek Peh Peh. Wahaha.. So interesting leh. Well, it goes like this. LLT decided that we catch a R21 taiwanese movie which i was totally clueless about. But anyway, I agreed on it since there's nothing much for us to do then until the screening of 'The Dark Knight' which we have bought the tix much earlier. As you know, before the start of a movie, there's be lots of ads and usually that will be the time that I'll spend napping. Yes, I admit I'm piggy. *oink* But then, this very well dressed Peh Peh (in long-sleeved shirt & pants), sitting next to me, played with his hp and making quite abit of noise when he kept moving his hp joystick. So he drew my attention. If it was the usual blind me without my specs or contact lenses, I probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. But yesterday I had my contact lenses on,so wit my sharp eyes, I noticed something unusual. OMG! I saw lots of gals pics which appeared to be secretly taken by the ti-kopek Peh Peh coz no direct front view of the gals were taken. They were all either side view or back views. What's more sickening was that he kept scrolling forward and backwards looking at the pics, rotated the pics and even zoomed in to look at the gals! Somemore, most of the gals in the pics were in mini skirts or shorts. I quickly whispered to LLT to bring it to his attention as well. LLT wanted to exchange seats wit me, but I felt I was quite ok to sit with the sadistic since I wasn't sexily dressed. Anyway, if his hands dared to sneak over to my seat, I'll make sure I whack him with my popcorns!

During the movie, especially during the boring scenes where there's no pretty, scantily dressed women, Ti-ko-pek Peh Peh would take out his hp again to look at the collection of gals' pics he has. But I think the most pervertic part was that he went to the extent of taking pics of the scantily dressed gals in some scenes of the movie. OMG! Seemed very desperate & bian tai to me! Whenever i saw him switching on his hp camera, I would cough or try to make some noise. But I think he was too engrossed in the "photo-taking" session that he didn't hear him or just too afraid to turn & look at me. What a bian tai uncle! Yucks! I thought such people can only be found at chang jiang cinema.

I wonder what's on such people's mind. Too deprived?? What an interesting encounter! haha

More Joy @ Work, more Activities in Plan!

Since my return from Turkey, I've embarked on a new platform for my current project. This time round, the chemistry involved is less tedious and alot more workable. So happy!! Finally I'm doing something which I'm able to see results!! Heez... Yah, I've been missing out on this in my work for the past 1+ years, where what I've been working on were mostly ambiguous & unfulfilling. But at least for now, things are working well and no longer demoralising.

I've also got a couple of "major events" lined up in my plan. Haha!!! For a happier & healthier me, me together with some friends got ourselves registered for the Amore Women's Dayout & the Great Eastern 10K Run. Haha... so excited!!! Excited over the events &... GOODIE BAGS!!! Hey, don't say that I'm cheapo, ok? Well, it's been the 3rd year in a row that I've participated in the Amore Women's Dayout and without fail, I'll always do it with Zhen & YP. This year our group grew bigger, there's gonna be 7 of us! Hope it won't rain like last year & hope there'll be more fun this year. As for the Great Eastern 10k Run, I've just signed up today, only for the 5km fun run. Well, it's gonna be my 1st time doing a marathon, so gotta take it easy & start off with a shorter route. Heez... Coming up next will be registration for Standard Chartered Marathon. How far are we going to run then? 21km? Oh gosh! I need to train up for my 5km 1st then!
