2 more weeks to go...

2 more weeks to go... and it will be my 1st 30km run on 10th Oct 2010. Hope I will enjoy my 1st long distance run and complete the run injury free. If my 30km went well, I might try for a full marathon next year with proper training. ^=^

Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2010 Results => 1h:11m:23s
Better than last year's Yellow Ribbon Run results but did not break my personal best.

Universal Studio Singapore

Piggy's company had some good deals in buying Universal Studio' tickets so we end up visiting USS = Universal Studio Singapore on Saturday (4th Sept 2010). Buy 1 free 1 tickets so each of us only need to pay SGD34. The place ain't that big so spending 1 day there is just nice.


We only spent about 8 hours there as we went in only after 11am and left about 7pm plus coz one of my friend was not feeling very well after one of the 'Ancient Egypt' rides. We didn't stay back for the fireworks at 9:30pm. Anyway, the whole place and rides are closed at 7pm. Only left 'Hollywood' section still open up till 10pm.



We didn't go in the Casino as Singaporeans and PRs have to pay SGD100 deposit which are un-refundable. Lucky we don't gamble so does not affect us.



We visited the 'Far far away' and took pictures with SHREK and Princess Fiona, watched the 4D Shrek show and Donkey singing at the Midnight Club.
I bought myself a cute 'Gingerbreadman'. Really can't helpt it... I heard it calling to me. Haha.... Now, it is sitting on my bed and his name is 'Gingy'... ^=^

Look at all the lovely SHREK Babies.. so cute ya... but they're all GREEN so don't appeal that much to me... maybe to Ms. Mo but she loves HULK more....

We met PO the Kungfu Panda there as well and gave him a big hug and took pix with him.

And here's Mr. Frankenstein.... he was so excited when he saw Ms. Mo... jumped down from the bench and go hug her... hahaha... Green attraction...
Other than the 'Far far away' attraction, there's 'Madagascar'. We only managed to go for a couple of rides and shows but basically visited the whole theme park. It was a FUN outing.

Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2010 - Wet Sunday

This morning, Piggy and I went to Changi for the Yellow Ribbon Prison 10km run and it was raining cats and dogs. We were hoping the rain would stop but it went on all the way till even after we finish the run. We were all given a transparent poncho and we all look so funny running with the ponchos.

This is the 1st time running the whole stretch of 10km with the poncho and all wet...

Ms Mo's clean shoes with the 'yellow laces' before the run....
This is how my shoes looked like after the run and collection of the baggage in the mud... = (

The Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2010 Carnival....

This year, we're given a key for the finisher momento.... a key to unlock d' 2nd prison....^=^

Despite the chaotic baggage collection, overall I still enjoyed the cooling run eventhough I'm damn sleepy and tired after the 'Universal Studios' trip the day before.... ^=^

Purr-fect Eye Sight

This morning I just went for my post-op 1st week review and doc said that I have perfect eyesight after the checkup. The surgery was successful and my eyes are recovering fast. I don't really encounter extreme dry eyes so far BUT just that I keep experiencing blurrness when it is too bright. Doc said that this would be normal for the 1st 2 weeks and it will slowly get better.

The 1st day of the surgery was pretty horrible. I didn't really feel any pain but just slight discomfort when they put pressure onto my eyes. It was pretty scary when they create the flap at my corneas and flip it open to laser my eyes. After the surgery, when I reached home, I basically cannot open my eyes at all and it was tearing excessively non-stop. I could not even open them to drip the eyedrops. The feeling is like you have just cried 3 hours non-stop.

I had to diligently drip 3 different types of eye drops in my eyes every 1 hour with 5 mins in between of each drop. So HAPPY today's the last day to drip the anti-inflammatory drops. Just gotta keep dripping the natural tears drop for at least a month. Now I can enjoy my active life without wearing my spectacles or contact lenses. Just pray that the 'lau hua' does not come so soon. hahaha... ^=^

Yellow Ribbon Run 2010 Race Pack

Just collected my race pack this afternoon with Piggy. The run will be next Sun (5th September 2010) 7:45am at Changi. This year the running-T is so much better in sizes and material. No more running in 'guni sack' like last year. =p They even give a free hand pouch this year.

Hope the weather would be good and everyone will have a good run next week. My 1st run after the LASIK treatment. Just gotta make sure the excessive sweat don't get into my eyes. ^=^


* Today's STEPS sucks... 'I HATE IDIOT' *

Sunday Walk with Piggy

I received an invitation from the 'Citizenship and Population Unit' (CPU) of Singapore for an outing for this Sunday morning at the Southern Ridge Walk. I had been there about 2 years ago but I remembered Piggy wanted to go there as she have not been there before. Therefore, I just asked CPU whether I can bring a friend along... and Piggy comes along with me.

This morning we were a bit late and Piggy was damn hungry... the weather does not seem very good as well. When we reached 'Vivo City' station where we met up with the rest, Piggy's face lightened up.... hehehe... coz we're given hearty breakfast with some free gifts for the outing. (umbrella, fan cum torchlight and a cute li'l brush cum highlighters) We're not the LAST ones to reach after all. Hahaha...

This is the yummy breakfast we have. Piggy took the Poached Salmon, Tuna Salad and Chunky Egg Sandwich while I took the Caeser Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken and Chicken Salad Sandwich. Piggy said she could not finish it all as she didn't walk the full 9km. Hahaha...

This is the welcome gifts we received and the umbrella was pretty handy as it was raining...

The walk was suppose to be about 9km starting from 8am till 11:30am but due to the bad weather, the walk was cut short and the route was amended. We waited till 9am plus for the rain to stop before we start the walk. It was still drizzling all the way during our walk. We only managed to cover part of the Henderson Walk, Mount Faber and Hort Park. If it's not because of the rain, Piggy would be able to have a view of the whole Southern Ridge Walk. She will have to make another trip again in future.

This is the starting point of the 'Henderson Waves'....
Look at the dark sky.... Altogether there were about 40 of us....
I wonder if there's no rain, would we have taken these routes.... think Piggy will shake head...
This is our park guide 'Robert' explaining all the stuff to us...

Buh-bye Spectacles...

2 more days to go and I will say buh-bye to my spectacles...

Will be going for my LASIK surgery coming Tues. I can't imagine my cornea being cut open... sounds pretty scary but after weighing all the pros and cons, I decided to go for it.

Gonna be so sad coz can't go for my daily gym workouts for a week after the surgery... = (

Just keep my fingers crossed that everything will go smoothly. ^=^
