Yellow Ribbon Prison Run '09

My next run is this coming Sun (6th September 2009) at Changi. It's the 'Yelllow Ribbon Prison Run 2009'.

The running-T is 'BIG' and I actually took 'S' size. Piggy go take 'XXL' without measuring and assuming the biggest size should fit. Her T is 'HUGE' compared to the 'L' size NIKE T that I have from last year's SHAPE Run. And the quality sucks... Piggy said like wearing 'GUNI-sack'.

Oh ya...Piggy is doing the 10km run with me and she's regretting it already... saying that she can't finish it. Well, I believe she can do it if she use her 'VIOLIN' spirit to run her 10km. Hehehe... MCC and sis, as well as my gym mates are doing the run together too. The more the merrier ya... = )

No training again... = ( Well, hope weather is good this Sun and body condition is well. GANBATTE 2 ALL!!! =>

JUST BE HAPPY = )

Time really flies... it's now 2 years since I'm in Lion City. I wonder how long I would be here... ?!? Growing roots here?!? Nahh... hahaha... =p


Here's a nice article to share with all... received this through email from a friend.

"JUST BE HAPPY"
=============

Just be happy. Sounds too simplistic, doesn't it? But, in actuality, we can have much more happiness if we choose to consider things from a positive perspective.

Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life, however, we can make a decision to dwell on the negative or practice what the old saying says to do: "When life give you lemons, make lemonade!"

It really boils down to your attitude and you have the ability to mold your attitude into any shape you like.

Here are some tips:

-> Ignore those who tell you that life is too difficult to be happy. What do they know?
-> When you awaken each morning, be thankful for another day, even if it's raining.
-> Smile at those you meet, even if they don't return the favor.
-> Don't borrow trouble. Each day has enough of it's own.
-> Don't allow trouble to bury you in its gray mire of sorrow.
-> Don't give in to negative thinking.
-> Be positive even when others are not.
-> Refuse to give up on anything worth having or doing.
-> Do something you enjoy each day, even if it's just a walk in your neighborhood.
-> Whistle as you go through the day.
-> Work at being happy because it's worth it.

You're human, like everyone else, and from time to time you need a little pick-me-up in your decision to be happy. When you reach that stage, find someone else who has decided to be happy. Join forces with him or her and march forward in your decision to be a happy person.

Simply speaking, a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

Choose today to just be happy - as much as it depends on you!


** I guess wherever you are... no matter in what situation... it's our own CHOICE to be 'HAPPY' or not... = )) HAPPY or SAD, it's just another day and Life goes on... May you all 'B-HAPI' always!!

Cold and Slimmy Intruder...

Yesterday morning, I had to throw away my breakfast. = ((

I was so shocked when I wanted to eat the bread that I had bought the night before. Luckily, I noticed the 'cold and slimmy' (* not sure if it's slimmy coz never really touched it... but I imagined it that way... ) intruder in the plastic bag before I passed the bread to my gym buddy. Hahaha... some more she tell me she not scared. :p

I left the bread in the living room but I guess I didn't tie the plastic bag tight enough that it managed to sneak in to sleep on my bread comfortably. Eughhh... and I was bringing it all around... in the train, to gym and all the way to office.

Lesson learnt... never leave the bread in the living room unless properly sealed.

HaPPily Ever After?!?

I find it very sad to see some friends divorcing, breaking up after years...even for the most loving couples. Some are just so unbelievable...

Just some thoughts running in mind...

Is there 'Happily Ever After' at all?

Love at 1st Sight...
Love U till Death Do US part...
Love 4Ever...

All Fairy Tales?!?

Falling in LOVE is always easy as 1,2,3...
Falling OUT of LOVE is also VERY easy...if you let it be...

I guess being in a marriage is not only...

Everyday saying 'I Love U'...
Every night making LOVE 2 u...
Every month give pocket $$$ 2 u.........

It's always easy to start a relationship and eventually tie a knot...

BUT it takes MORE than that to keep the relationship going andboth parties just have to work hard to make it happen. If you are not sure, please don't simply tie the knot. It's not a game to play. :p

Sometimes, if one party cannot stand the temptations to stray...things just go wrong everywhere. And once things go wrong, it wouldbe difficult to restore to the original state. Like the saying, once the glass is broken, no matter how you mend it, there's always a crack.

Nothing's perfect in this world. We can't have everything that's for sure.

I guess it's not easy to find someone who...

Loves u for who you are...
No matter how u looks...
No matter how u change in future...
No matter how your attitude is...
No matter what happens in future...

If you do find that person, feel lucky and be grateful to cherish them.

I really admire those old couples with white hair...those who lived to the quote, live together till hair become white.

Well, I just wish all the 'HAPPILY MARRIED' couples out there to have blissful marriage and hopefully to have a relationship 'white hair till old'. And to all that are getting married soon to have a long journey till the end. :)

OniBaba ---> Demon Hag

Today I went to the Japanese Film Festival at the SG National Museum to watch this film called 'Onibaba'. My gym buddy and I rushed like mad to the 2pm show from Bugis gym to Dhoby Ghaut. It was really like 'Amazing Race' and we were not very sure of the place. Hahaha.. We 'mandi kerbau' after our Steps class finish at 1:20pm and dashed our way there. Luckily, still make it in time but missed about 10 mins of the show. Didn't missed much though...

ONIBABA

Here's the synopsis from the 'Japanese Film Festival' website.
***********************************************************************************
In a war-torn 14th century Japan, a woman and her daughter-in-law eke out their living by ambushing worn-out fleeing warriors, killing them and selling their belongings. The woman begins to mistrust her daughter-in-law who couples up with a deserter. Obsessed with jealousy and the fear that the younger woman would leave her, she schemes to keep the younger woman by her side by wearing a demonic mask to scare the couple. To her horror, the mask becomes securely stuck to her face and her attempts to remove it result in the greatest horror of all. Partially based on the legends of onibaba (demon-hag), the film tells a dynamic story of unrestrained desires and instincts.
***********************************************************************************

My friend actually find some of the scenes pretty disturbing BUT it didn't really have much impact on me. I find it really funny though... the way they film some parts of the show. The show really shows how desperate one can be across time in certain situations. Human can be pretty violent in order to survive and protect themselves.

I guess everyone would have different feelings while watching the show. It's like different people would just interpret things differently while looking at the same thing or reading the same book. = )

** backlog in a lot of things... haven't been blogging much, HW piling up, room super-messy, lots of photos not sorted, slacking in running.... = (

Still in Holiday Mood... = )

Still have not recover from holiday mood after back from JAPAN. Gosh... so lazy... haven't really blog anything about the trip but posted some pix in Facebook.

Hahaha... lately, I busy posting pix... my housemates also very busy. One training herself to be a good farmer and another trying to be a good cook. Just finished posting all the pix on the trip. Now wanna go zZz liaw but room-mate still busy feeding her pigs and cows. haha...

Going back to Cat City this weekend for a short break with hommies. So excited... can't wait to eat all my favourite food; Kolo Mee, Tomato Kuehtiaw, Sate, Rojak, Char Kueh, Laksa, White Lady, etc... Yummy yummy foodie here I come... can't wait to meet up with old friends too.

Hope it would be a great trip and I'm sure will grow side way 2 inches after the trip...keke...

Shape Run 2009 Results

Slight improvement from the last run, by a few minutes. The last Sundown 10km I took 1:17:19.89 and for this Shape 10km I took 01:13:41. Well, can't hope for much with no training. I hope I can clock within an hour soon, with training. Hahaha...

This year is really a running year. Never run so much in my life. I wonder if Piggy is regretting having a crazy roommate who makes her sign up all the runs together. Hahaha... Piggy & I signed up another run, just 5km only in Oct -> Pink Ribbon Run & Walk So, in total there would be 5 runs (45km) this year. = )
