Nike City Run, 10km!
this year nike run was at the same starting point as last year. 12000 participants this year! and i totally love the colour of this year's running tee; luminous yellow! :)
but i just hate running next to the road when cars are passing by, cos breathing in the engine smoke as i run makes me feels breathless :( some said that this year's route seems to be shorter than last year but i find that its the same! and as i ran, i recall-ed the feeling that i had when i was running the exact same route for Stan Chart last december; freaking tiring!
so happy with my timing for 10km, 1hr5mins! :) my best timing ever! :)
now someone please pull me for weekly jogging session please. Stan Chart 42km is just next month!!!
New Balance Real Run 2010, 15km!
the 2nd run of the year for me, after Passion Run. skipped Adidas Sundown 21km due to funeral, skipped Yellow Ribbon Prison Run due to gastrics. so i should have ran for 4 marathons if things dont happened.
anyway, the sky looked pretty good in the early morning, but in actual fact its damn freaking hot when its around 8am + :(
but still i think my timing was not that bad the fact that i didnt train nor ran long distance for a few months! 2hrs 15mins and i got a bad ankle pain after that :( sprained ankle from the mac ritchie recee didnt heal well thus i felt pain when i was running halfway :( sigh.
a good start for my 42km marathon in december!
Mac Ritchie Reservoir for recee some time last week!
it was a long long walk down the trail; the muddy waters, the rocky roads, the monkeys, mosquitoes attacks, scorching sun. but we still had fun exploring the different routes!
and we got scare by monkeys twice -.-
got an sprained ankle after the recee. well oh well, improper shoes for recee caused it :(
realised that lots of people actually went jogging over there, but wonder how they did it caused the paths are really rocky and slippery, so hard to run! oh well.
imagine going through the trail again and again.
went JB sometime last week. cabbed down to woodlands checkpoint. (lazy) and bused in to JB. changed money and started shopping. things are cheap and contact lens solution are like half price over there. bought lots back to stock up :)
as usual we got hungry pretty fast and settled for lunch at stonegrill. seriously, the food there is awesome, a must to go there if you go citysquare at JB!
continued shopping and taxi-s in JB are worth taking. but the meter there goes by the speed of the cab. if he's speeding, the fare will be much higher.
back to singapore at near midnight. will go back in for good food again :)
last monday after work, the clever me went home in the heavy rain and reached home totally drenched; dripping with water. that night after meeting itself, i came down with high fever,flu, cough and everything else.
but still, i was pretty stubborn, i went ahead with clubbing, work and everything else despite feeling unwell. and after a lousy saturday afternoon at work, cos i was practically coughing every few minutes, my voice was damn sexy and i had patients asking me to go drink herbal tea, i went over TIMBRE@SUBSTATION to chill with the rest of my girls.
i didnt know the ambience there was so great! me likes the band :)
then we head outside to celebrate the october babies birthday :)
cabbed home at 3am in the morning. lots of stuffs went through my mind, and its time to put a stop to everything.
as much as we wanted to go SUPPERCLUB on a wednesday night, it was closed. plans changed and we headed down to St James Powerhouse instead. just the queue itself took us like forever to get in.
5 free drinks for each person x 6 = 30 free drinks = 3 jugs of vodka cranberry, 5 breezers, 5 heineken, 5 tiger beers and 5 shots. we nearly went crazy trying to finish up everything.
but still, we had fun, the crowd was great; just too many people, way too many, worst than zouk please. and obviously there's some hanging around asking for numbers, as usual.
i cant exactly remember, but i think there was one point of time that i just sat down outside the toilet, dont ask me why, my head was spinning, i cant walk straight, and some idiot was trying to make it worst via sms.
never head home at 4am in the morning. i dont know if its just suay but its the second time we got into a road block (*&#$^# thankgod its not the traffic police, just the normal ones, got through after I/C was checked.
still have a phobia going home after club after what happened on that saturday night.
and i had the hangover feeling till i went for night shift the following night.
life has been pretty exciting for me i say. saturday was never a stay home day for me, especially at night.
and it was to SUPPERCLUB on saturday night. and they never failed to check my IC, and still must question me whether am i the person in the IC -.- do i looked that different from the past?
it was like drink drank and maybe drunk. its was the usuals : vodka cranberry, vodka coke, vodka orange and i think martell shots or something, cant really remember now.
and so we hailed a cab at 4am and head home. didnt know it will turn out to be that scary. imagining someone from the club following you all the way back home and you didnt even have the slightest idea. that was like totally scary, plus the fact that we wasnt exactly sober.
my eyes were swollen that night, too much tears i think.
18/10 Officer Training Course Commissioning Parade
Parade was held on the 18th Sept at Nee Soon Camp. i still remember how we waited for 45mins just for a cab. damn asshole okay.
anyway, the 4 flowers from EV Corps were commissioned as officers on that day :) bet they have been waiting for very long! congrats to them! :)
and lastly, i love this photo.
p.s : i know this post is like damn back-dated, but its the thoughts that counts ok :)
dental appointment on friday. always cant help but feel damn scared and nervous when im reaching the place. the fear of lying on the dentist's chair. sigh. and the whole process of gluing, putting on the metal brackets, tying up the metal wire, pulling of the teeth to tighten it, it takes about 1 hr plus to complete it.
thanks everyone. so many of you drop me smses to show concern :)
am having difficulty in pronouncing some words, eating properly. and i hate it when the food get stucked onto the braces. feel very irritated when it happens.
sigh. my gastric problem is getting from bad to worst these days. the pain was so bad that tears just drop by itself. ended up i didnt even go for the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 10km today. upsets*
i never got the chance to tell you that, no matter what happens next, i had never regret every moment I spent with you.
went for seafood dinner on one of the days at Old Airport Road. remember the last time i went there was 2 years ago? and now its so convenient to have dinner/supper over there cos of the circle line.
sotongs / chilli crabs / la-la / satays / man-tou / sting-rays. and i spent quite long just to chew on the sotongs =/ chilli crabs is still my favourite. not forgetting man-tous too!
just love how small kids can run around with so much freedom, so carefree, and they dont have to think about every single damn thing.
on school, me attended 4 days of lectures and without fail, i'll always doze off midway =/ had health assessment practical exam on the last day, totally nerve-wrecking please. studied till 2 am the day before and overslept the next. no worries, still punctual though. and after 30 minutes of assessment, the lecturers nodded their head and YAY I PASSED :)
night shift tonight. back to bed, crossed fingers pray hard tonight will be good. it must be.
at least now we are on talking terms again.
and again, your words and actions never fails to surprise me. thankyou.
to go make a dentist appointment for my braces-making! it was decision made years ago but cos i was still saving up for it, i decided to wait. so now seems like a good time to get started on it.
first appointment with my dentist; did XRAYS, made a mould of my teeth.
the second appointment was on friday, was so nervous and scared that i couldnt sleep well the previous night. thankfully xueshen came along and accompanied me. had to have 4 tooths extracted. the moment he injected the anaesthesia, i could almost faint from the pain. then he started to shake, pull, twist and turn, and after 1hr, 4 tooths came out.
i think i looked very pale when everything was done. my hands were still shaking when i was making payment. that bad okay :(
so i went home with a bad headache and the blood wont stop flowing + my saliva kept drooling cos i had totally no sensation in my mouth. 6hrs after the procedure and its still bleeding :( but no choice was real hungry so forced down a small bowl of porridge.
past 2 days was real suffering for me. had to spent 1 and 1/2 hr just to finish up a bowl of porridge. but the pain kept disrupting my sleep that i had to wake up in the middle of the night to take painkillers.
i need proper food.
i need to be able to speak properly.
crossed fingers it will get better tomorrow.
till 12 days later, it will be another new experience for me.
never forgetting the one who reassured me throughout the night.
