Yesterday was a self-explore OTOT run along S’pore river. It has been a zero mileage in the pass 1 week. So I didn’t expect much out of myself, but am all charge up and go.
The CNY festive deco is up along Esplanade bridge and I can sense that it’s going to be pretty happening real soon. Must go there to kepo a bit next week :)
Cruising slowly along S’pore river as usual but this time round, it’s probably still bright, the sun hasn’t set yet and in addition that I’m on my own, I’m not on a fast or even tempo pace. I happen to look literally almost everything in my surrounding. From people, to buildings, to statues…etc. All along when running with CBD gang, firstly it’s already dark, secondly, I’m all focusing on keeping my pace well so that I’m not too far away from the front pack. And it’s all about just me and the path in front of me. Little did I know, that there are soooo many nice, Porsche apartment along BQ/CQ. I was under the impression that all BQ/CQ have, are just restaurants, pubs. Apartment have never come across my mind. Keeping a slow pace all the way till Zouk, I decided to u-turn. On the way back, I came across another nice apartment and it just caught my attention from far. Looking at it from a distance, it’s as if I’ve come to a small little town in a western country. I decided to detour into that small little town to take a peek what’s inside. There’re Porsche restaurant with all the ang mohs around and there are high class shops, music schools, clinics…etc It’s like a mini hdb estate but in a Porsche style. Trying to get my sense of direction right. I stroll along the surrounding. It’s along Muhammad Sultan road and the other side of it is facing the river. I looked up. Wah!!! The balcony…..so huge!! More than half the size of a bedroom! That is ROBERTSON WALK. Now then I know. Always heard about Robertson xxx. So this is where Robertson xxx is….. So suah gu!
Slowly make my way back to Suntec PF. Spotted Meteor and JamesSoh the min I step in. The two were glueing their eyes on the TV while working out. Stand right next to both to kepo for a while before I head off for shower.....
Strolling along BQ/CQ
on Thursday, January 31, 2008Random Thoughts
on Monday, January 28, 2008Since last Tuesday CBD 2nd year anniversary run, I have been spending many many hours on bed. Yes, I'm sick!! I thought by doing a short run to sweat it out, I would feel better after that. But I am so so so wrong! It got worst. And in addition to that, I pig out on sinful food after the run, eat almost everything that sick people should not be eating. I started to suffer while on my way home.
The next day is on MC, lying on the bed almost the entire day. Medication is damn drowsy...Wake up - eat bf - eat medicine -sleep - wake up- eat lunch - eat medicine - sleep. That goes on until the next morning where I get off bed, go to work, knock off, eat medicine and sleep at 9pm until......Friday. That flu and cough lasts thru the weekend. Was so tempted to go Sundown familiarization run on Sunday but was advice by Jodan to drop that idea. Better guai guai stay at home and make sure I"m fully recovered first. So..... it has been zero mileage for the past 1 week. Finally today, still a bit of block nose, I finally felt 'normal'. YAY!!
First impression
on Tuesday, January 22, 2008For those who is out there looking for a better, brighter future career path, needless to say........let me tell you that giving a good first impression is VERY important.
I was scanning thru a stack of resume this morning and as expected, I am seeing all sorts of different resume. Some are ok, some are so-so, so are...cannot make it.
And for your own sake, if you were to put in your photos in there, pleeaaassseeeeee please make sure you look good and professional in it. Don't anyhow put ok. If you don't have a good one, then either go take one or don't put at all. Just when I was shortlisting the candidate, there are more than 1, at least a few that looks ah beng to me!! They looks like loanshark!!! Goodness!!! What's in their mind when they put such photo in it. I immediately lost interest in looking at the content of the resume.
Next, what's up with this people of not knowing how to properly align their statement. In one complete sentence, there is more than 1 font, different font size...:( Aiyoh.... why so un-pro. I thought this are basic skills? It makes it difficult to read u know.... And it looks so untidy..
So people out there, please put some effort in creating a good resume. It does help hor..... Uhm....I hope I'm not asking too much.... It's all for your own good :)
There must be some viruses flying around in the air this couple of days.
A few whom I know off, is falling sick, one after another. That includes me.
It started yesterday when I suddenly felt giddy and start coughing. Decided to skip gym and went home. This morning was ok until after lunch, the headache is back, the running nose and the muscle ache (WITHOUT ANY EXERCISE)...haiz......
Tonight I will take it slow and easy..... Time to slack...maybe even DNS..haha
For some reason, I choose to walk down the stairs this morning on the way to work.
On my way down, this cute little adorable cat was lying nicely on the staircase. As soon as he/she saw me, it start ‘meowing’ as if he/she knew me.
I stopped for a while to take a look but didn’t give much thought and proceed down the stair case. To my surprise, he/she followed me!! I stopped again and it started to rub its head against my leg, from one leg to another. I tried to move away taking 1-2 steps further. He/she follows again and continue rubbing the head on my leg. Aiyoh…. My heart soften, almost melted :) Pets are lovely at times...when it doesn't pee all over the place and when they dun destroy any of your assets by scratching your furniture or biting up your shoe. And the way he/she look at me, as if he/she wanted to talk to me. Haiz….too bad…I would love to but I simply can’t bring it home.
Paging paging for “Tiga” owner…… Tiga need a companion or not?? Hehehehe…..

Double Celebration Run
on Wednesday, January 09, 2008Yesterday at CBD was the most happening run I’ve ever had. It was given a theme called the “Double Celebration Run”. What celebration?
Two couples at CBD are going to venture into the “not available” category in Jan and here we are, a bunch of runners with crazy ideas come together as a tradition in Sgrunners to hold a wedding run.
Orange Tee aka WC join in the fun today after months of absence. 15min b4 run starts at 7pm, some volunteers are already here, helping the bride and groom to dress up like this…………
There was a lot of detour between TP and Esplanade. Instead of the S’pore Symphony orchestra side, we ran along where DBS building is. It was 7+, a lot of Shenton Way workers around. People must be wondering what’s up with this bunch of runners and where are those noises coming from. We detour to Lau Pa Sat as I started to observe how the curious drivers and pedestrian and tourists reacted.
Running along Shenton Way, right in front of office building
THIS….is none other than KONNYAKU JELLY
Come Tuesday morning, it was all abt exchanging sms with Bala of where to get, who to get...etc...etc... and I got hold of LT asap and told him abt the muffins. Lol and behold!!! He said Ronnie is buying muffins!!! Oh no….. what should I do now? What else can we get for the night? Ok, sms and email again. The next idea…..Fruits! Ok, easy to eat fruits. To cut the story short, I met Joanna at Carrefour after work and start to shop for the fruits before making our way down to CBD meeting point…….
So, the moral of the story is….. I should learn how to make some yummilicious desserts. Konnyaku jelly will be the first in the list. Fellow CBD and TYA gang will be my guinea pig…heehehee..
Coming up………exciting, fun and attention catching CBD run………..TO BE CONTINUE…..
