At a glance……..

26th GE 10Km run – demolished the initial thought of DNS GE run after DNF in Real Run. Had Tao running with me from start to finish. No nagging pain, just a little weak mentally but didn’t get a PW. I had 2 jellies, 5 cups of orange Gatorade during post race followed by Chwee kuey, chng tng and chee cheong fun with tao J

27th – Silly me. Woke up at 630 on a public holiday and sit in a conference call for 1.5 hrs. Karaoke in the afternoon with JC and some of his Safra gang. The day ends in a glimpse. There goes my precious holiday

28th – Busy busy busy day at work. Surprisingly feeling good to cover another 10km run around neighbourhood

29th – Conference call again at night. Slot in a 4km tempo on threadmill before going back to office.

I’m tired…………………

I must be on drugs!!! The most stupid creatures on earth.

While I have already made plans to go do some hiking on Monday Deepavali and happily agreed with the gang to start at 7am, I scheduled, proposed and is going to chair a conference call between 3 countries at 7.30am on Monday a public holiday. Now that everyone has confirmed their availabilities (at work and the hiking gang).......... I just have to beat and whack myself up for such stupidity!

1 -2 -3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11............................. It's 11!!! That's the total no. of dead & semi-dead cockroaches I saw at my void deck yesterday when I came back from my evening run!!! DISGUSTING!!!!!!
Maybe town council sprayed some insecticide around that area or something??

1 word to describe the silence in the past 2 weeks -------- BUSY!!!

Last week was training in Melbourne and I hardly have more than 30mins a day for Internet and emailing. So I’m kinda lost touch with the ‘world’.

Monday was R&R as we arrived Melb in the morning. Met up with sis and the 2 cuties.
Tuesday training starts. Caught up with James for dinner along Riverside Southbank
Wednesday continue with training. Team dinner at Crown
Thursday last day of training. Overbooked myself for after-work appointment!! Squeezing in a kopi cum gossiping session with Jas (ex-colleagues) followed by a sumptuous yummylicious dinner with another 2 gals.
Friday depart Melb in the morning.

So……while someone did text me from 3000+ miles away to remind me NOT to slack and make sure I slot in some running session, I failed the mission :( Slacker!! Trying to console myself that it may not be a bad thing cuz I need to carbo load for Sunday’s real run…hahah.

Back on Fri and with the usual stuff, Sunday came the day for RealRun. My last run was like a week back. How will I fair, how has my nagging spot been behaving lately. Argh….whatever … Just do it, stop, walk and even DNF if necessary. So to cut the story short, I ended up u-turning together with the 10km runners. The same nagging spot is giving some signal when I was abt to exit the trail portion, all the way to the junction of Coastal road, I decided to u-turn and crawl my way back to the finish point. Not as bad as Shape run as I did decided to stop immediately and not pushing thru the pain. Nevermind……..

Back to work on Monday, meeting, phone calls, emails shooting here and there until today… it was the busiest week since a few months back?! But then, I’m still able to squeeze in my gym session and light running like after 530..hehe..Finally, I’m always glad and thankful that things are slowly settling week as the weekend is drawing near…hence this blog is back alive again…..

Whenever boss is in town, it means more carbo loading session. And that's what exactly been happening in the last 2 days......^_^

It's Friday and I'm leaving for Melbourne this weekend YET I still have tonnes of 'personal' stuff to settle prior to departure. Too much to an extend I think I'm a bit disorganized now..........

2 weeks since my last post. I shall not kill my brain cell to recall what happen in the last 2 weeks. Regardless...... knowing that starting from today till end of next week, workout will be min as there's lots of 'after-work' agenda laid up. I decided to have a more frequent and longer workout since last week which.....went pretty well except triggering that sensitve itb!!! Nevermind....ice, stretch, roll as usual.....

45mins at pump class followed by all-time-favourite Ram's 1hr spin class. I must say, this is my first time enjoying spin class after about 5 attempts? Either my butt will ache halfway, my head will spin instead of my leg, I couldn't perspire and felt nausea....all sorts of crap. Things seems to be a lot more enjoyable yesterday. Now I know why 'some' ppl say they look as if they just got off from the pool after spin.

My 3.5 year old Nokia phone have been throwing tantrum to me lately. Well, it has been month, but it got worst in recent weeks. Reboot itself and shutting me off while I'm talking on the phone, sms-ing and even when I am doing nothing to it. It's also putting me in shame when it shut off while I'm in a conference call with regional management!!! &!#%$&...While I'm not a fans of changing phones whenever there's new model, I think I've had enough. Sadly, there's not a single Nokia phone in the market now that is to my liking. I don't like high-tech gadget and dun need all sorts of fancy stuff. Just regular sms and phone calls is all I need. Sis say my niece will definitely ask me to get a Sony Ericsson because it is more "canggih"?? Hmmm...New malay vocab to me...it means "modern". Niece said Nokia is for old people woh... So old fashion....Uhm.....ok... it's the new generation now....Let me think abt it.....
