boring sports

alright...i want to put a disclaimer first. what seems boring to me doesn't means it's boring to others and there may be some activities i do may seems boring to others as well.

this is just part of my opinion.

i think fishing is boring. so what's the fun with lowering your fishing line into the water and wait like forever for the fish to eat your bait and when it does, you just need some strength to pull it up. b.o.r.i.n.g. sorry to those who love fishing but i can't understand what's the excitement with pulling up the poor fish in pain and people jumping with joy like they kena lottery. alright... probably it's the pride and joy of catching a fish and comparing how big your fish are. i don't have the patience for fishing. the last time i went fishing which is like decades ago with my uncle, my whole leg and arm got sting by mosquito like as if i'm going there to feed the mozzies.

yoga. i think it's pretty boring. i went to this yoga class with a friend for the first time and i'm sure it was the last. all i know they ask you to be in one position for like 5 or 10 minutes and in the end, i remember we have to lie down ...i think to cool down....just that... i fell asleep. haha..... i feel beh shiok if i don't sweat during exercise.

ok... i think golf is boring. if i play 18 holes, i think by the 5th one i might give up. haha.... you hit a ball and you walk like don't know how far to find the ball and hit it again.

well, different people different interest. some people might think running is boring ...

anyway.... i saw this collection of mini wooden handicraft ducks display at this shop... so cute and very beautiful.... how i wish i could own it but it's too expensive .....

kids story

it has been a really dry week. not much happening except it kept raining all the time and when i don't plan to jog today, the weather is so nice. recently when i jog around my neighbourhood, so many people jogging. i guess all training for the upcoming standard chartered marathon.

went back to jb last week, the little boy and his second sister came and one of my cousin and his sister came too. haha... i love the way how he kids talk. so honest and funny, you really couldn't expect what will come out from their mouth. sometimes they take you by surprise.

this little boy's second sister and my cousin are actually in the same primary school, same age - in primary two and just next class to each other. so this girl always report back to my mum what my cousin did in school, whether he got punished, involved in a fight and so on.

there's this one time this girl caught my cousin standing in front of his classroom with both hands pulling his ear and she told my mum about it and my mum ask my aunt, who is taking care of my cousin (this is so complicated) if she know why he got punish. my aunt asked my cousin and he deny it saying this girl saw the wrong person. hahaha.... i think he has been very careful in school now since then..

last week seems like so many people giving out candies in office...

before the new year sets in, there are a lot of things i need to sort out.... like arranging my pictures which i have been taking ages to do it.... i was alternating betwen arranging it and watching drama and i end up watching drama all the way and forgot about my mission...

conversations

sometimes i really do have funny dreams but most of them i forgot by the time i woke up... the other night i dreamt that my parents sold off my car ... :(

me : mum, where's my car???

mum: oh, we sold it off and replace it with this car. (it's a BLUE aeroback 2 doors, looks like satria but i can't exactly remember what car is it)

me: why you never ask me first?? i love my car... why you sold it off and replace with this BLUE car.

mum: your car is too small ..

me: but ...you can always use your own car if mine is too small...*very sad*

then i got no other choice but to drive around with this BLUE car..... end of story, actually i can't remember what happen next. haha.... if you ask me why i capitalise BLUE ... well, blue is not really my favourite colour.. it looks good on certain things like shoes (ok, i got a blue sneakers)... but on car, i just don't like it.

last night i had a chat with my junior, amoz and i try to physco him to get a blackberry instead of an iphone. haha.... i'm a bb evangelist though i don't own one yet.... i will ! haha...and we're debating and proving which one is better ...

a : how much iphone 3gs cost in sg?

me : don't know leh... should be around $1000++

a : ooh... i thought of getting one....

me : oh... but i think BB is better... more feature...compare to iphone..

a : really...like? blackberry can produce blackcurrent + berries juice. iphone only produce apple juice.

me: hahaha.. ok ..that's lame.

this one happen a few months ago and my mum told me this which me and my god sis can't stop laughing at it.
there's this one morning my mum was at the kitchen and the little boy (gy) which my mum took care was playing computer games at the living room facing the main door and suddenly my mum heard a woman screaming outside at the road. which is obviously the woman got robbed by an idiot riding a motorcycle. my mum went to the living room look outside and asked the boy....

mum : gy, what happen?

gy: oh, the woman dropped her umbrella....

Great Eastern Woman Run 10Km

how i realise i left my camera in jb was when i was packing for my run the night before.... panic a bit but i was very sure i left it at jb. well.... pictures have to taken with phone.

it was raining heavily the night before and was hoping it won't rain in the morning. it didn't, the weather was cooling which is perfect... haha... but on my 7th km...it had light drizzle..

i reached like 15 mins before the race started ... so got a bit of time to simply take pics .. it's a woman run...so no man allowed...

took a lone pic ...my running partner not here yet :( i was lost in the crowd so i have to run first and we have to meet only at the end...

the running tracks was mostly straight.... i like it... not many uphill and not so crowded as well... maybe there's no man.. haha...

actually i don't what to blog about a run, so me and linny did it again... 10km... and i finish at 1 hour 10 minutes 44 seconds.

continue.....

i was checking for some photos of the GE run and i saw this ... key in my bib number and a whole lot of result of my run came out... i'm impressed!

Result in entire field - 2045th place (3396 finishers behind, about 38% finisher ahead)

Result in Division (Women Open) - 988th place (2208 finisher behind, about 31% finisher ahead)

I passed 310 runners and 130 runners passed me.

my average speed is 8.5 Kph/ 5.3 Mph

Still got bird's eye view of my finishing some more.. haha... the green dot is me.. but too small to see from here.

My speed for the first half is 8.6 Kph and 8.3 Kph for second half. Still got this chart to show my location when selected leaders crossed the finish line.

sweet tooth

yay! it's november...Christmas is coming ! the other day me and a friend was asking me this...

friend: why happy moments always fly by so fast...

me: well, if it doesn't fly by so fast.... it wouldn't be a happy moment rite... :)

i mean yea... example if you go for a trip or a party, you wish it could last forever but at some point you don't want to (and you're unhappy) coz you need new things/ trip to make you happy. wtf am i talking... whatever..

there's some picture i want to post up but last night i realise i left my camera in jb last week. so well, all the pictures below are taken from my phone.

i went to queenstown and bought this rattan hula hoop yesterday. been looking for it for soo so so long...and one day i happen to saw this shop that sells when i was having lunch with my colleagues. haha... so got it and carried it home all the way in bus and in train. before that i went to vivocity to do some errands and i got so famished during lunch time and had superdog ... love their chillidog so much... i was so hungry that i thought i wanted to order a sundae ice cream but didn't ... i'm glad i didn't... halfway through the dog... i'm so stuffed!

my hula hoop! :)

i baked lasagne last week......

rememebr a few post ago i post up this picture of really nice sky, here's some more picture of it. so pretty! you know... i think it's kinda hard to see really nice sky in Malaysia. i so love it... i think i can lie down somewhere in the field and just look at this beautiful sky whole day....

anyway, my craving for tim tam is back .... they have this offer 3 for $10. so delicious.... i have a sweet tooth, so anything that is sweet actually taste nice to me... and i love moven pick vanila ice cream but it seems so hard to find it....

bla bla bla..

rainy friday evening, i was suppose to go for jog but the weather doesn't permit it. sunday i have a 10km to run and i haven't been training for a week. well, i guess i just have to run on sunday. i realise i've never blog on serious issues, topics like ... how global warming affect the decision made in politics, an impact of a pack of cigarrete in the economy, does woman use more plastic than man... wtf.. haha... this is like writing for a thesis. never my type.


you know end of the year is coming when stores start to put up christmas decorations for sale - it's when people looks more relax. i guess. it's the time of the year where people start to make resolutions for the new year- all hoping for the best.

anyway, i guess a lot of pictures coming up. I haven't been blogging properly lately. I need some sleep now...

money worries

sometimes i was caught in between feeling being a kid again, where there's no financial worries, being free, the thing you worry is what toy or game you're gonna play with next ... and sometimes i'm glad i've grown up, that means more freedom to buy what you want and do whatever you want, the downside ... you got so many things to worry about.

i got a letter from the education loan, demanding that i'll need to pay this certain amount by this date. well, somehow or rather, it put a bit stress on me. yea, stress the word. i earn normal salary, lead a normal life, normal...which normal people worries about first is money. i guess the last thing a well-to-do person have to think about is money and their first worry is how to make more money or probably how to spend it.haha... i'm just imagining or maybe that's just a statement.*shrug shoulder* (i'm not insulanting rich people, just ask bill gates or any tycoon, what they worry about first). *research*

well, i guess it boils down to do a bit of financial planning yourself. you just can't wait to pay off your loan. one thing i learn, if possible, try not to have any loan, from banks ... or loan sharks if you can't find any other way to die. my mum said bank is like the "white side"of a loan shark and underground bank (which is physical loan shark) is the "dark side". hahaha....

haha, well, i guess i just have to look at the bright side. there's always a good thing behind every unfortunate things that happen ...

Still one of my favourite verse from the bible:

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" - Matthew 6:34
