My Classmates!! From 8 years ago...

We parted in 2000 but never failed to meet up almost every year! Check out the Sports Class Tshirt that can no longer be found...

It's a pity the sports class idea was scrapped when the new principal came..but that makes us really exclusive..

And we have Yong Fa, the 1st guy who's going to get married!!

The guys...all grown up, smart, and mature..

HorseyS!!

A relatively new place that we chanced upon while driving pass on a day where we din know what to do..

I saw the word Pony and asked Trav Dear to drive by so we could take a look.. and heres what we found!!

This adorable little blondie made a cute little snort at us...

I love things in white... and so had a preference for the white horsey as well!

Tiny tiny one...looking at my feet??

The horsey's mane needed serious salon treatment.. it was dry and not nice to touch...

A week of workouts! Back to long distances!!

Just ran 10km today and I feel really accomplished.. although I ran it in a very slow 63 mins, it was relaxing and smooth..Looking back, I was able to complete my 10km in 55 mins or less.. but I guess I did not enjoy the runs as much.. It was quite a coincidence cos once I finished my 10km, and when I pressed the button on my timex, my ipod died on me..

Such Great Timing!! And when I looked at the numbers on the watch, it read 1:03.33...nice!!

I had been working out everyday this week despite having diarrhoea..this is just me..the mentality that says: working out is the best medicine..

Was pretty irritated with an uncle yesterday at my run.. used to bump into him months ago and he always has the most things to talk about... which I really hate... And he likes to try and pace me, thinking I really appreciate it... but I hate...

So, to get rid of him following me, I suddenly sprinted off at my last 500m or so and pretended I couldnt hear him talking by turning up the volume on my ipod..

And once he couldnt catch up with my big strides, I took a detour at another route and gladly walked home.. hope I din break his heart..

Am looking forward to more runs in the weeks to come while I train up for standchart..

BTW, I always look wierd in running photos... maybe I really Run very "uglily"...

I remember the "butterflies in my tummy" feeling at the start line.. but the feeling of crossing the finishing line in tops surpasses any other ill-feeling before the race!!

And some of those ladies next to me are either in their 40s or 50s... but they look nowhere beyond 30!! REally!!

MoonCakes!!

Trav dear bought me these cute mooncakes!!

Chanced upon them at NTUC..I really prefer these cheap mooncakes.. They are less gooey and not as sweet as those "premium" kind..

It comes in a pack of 4 at $2.50 only!! And it is yummy!! In each pack, there is a mickey, Ding Dang, Little Cat and funny looking bear.. And me, trying to beautify that plain picture, attempts to write HAppy Mooncake Festival in chinese characters..

(Yay! I managed to get it right.. I think...) I dont really know when the exact day is tho..
So, Happy Mooncake Fest everyone!!

Movies and movies...

Trav and I had been catchin lots of movies lately... partly cos of the bad weather lately.. Caught Forgetting Sarah Marshall yesterday and Wall-e today...

Sarah Marshall was funny...entertaininly funny...good for those who just wana relax after a long day.. The show was mostly set in Hawaii, so they have this thing about Hawaiian names.. and they even have a name convertor on their website:
http://hawaiianname.forgettingsarahmarshall.com/

Trav told me about it and our hawaiian names are:

Trav: Ialawike
Jeanette: Anieaneke
(Probably useful if we head there one day)

Dun really know how to pronounce it..

Wall.e was nice... didnt expect it to be so much more than it seemed in the trailers... We thot it was a boring movie and din wana watch it.. but Im glad we did!

This week was a unproductive and lazy week for me... I felt useless...and there was a lack of physical activity...
Next week shall be a super productive week and I shall make sure I fill my time with meetings, work and stuff... And of course lots more work out sessions...=)

Retro Horsey

Found this lil horsey at ECP yesterday..It reminded me of my childhood.. full of cutesy little things.. just the way little girls loved...

102 DAys to the StandChart Marathon

It sounds like a long time.. but given the state that Im in, I'd better buck up my training for my 10Km Run...

The bad weather foiled plans to do a 10Km Run outdoors today.. so I ended up on the tmill..

Didnt like it at all...Cos the gym had a super sour smell of those men's around me.. and I was bored on the tmill for 60mins.. and started wondring if the speed on the tmill was measured in miles/hr or km/hr... Duh...

My aim is to complete the 10Km in less than 60mins... it was no mean feat for me last yr.. I cld complete it in 53 mins.. but now finishin in 60 mins is an accomplishment..

But well, Im just gonna enjoy my run and forget abt timings... I guess that's why I started running in the 1st place anw..

And for those who are training for marathons, consider signing up for "Let your running do the talking":

A little Trip to the SPCA

I love Fridays!! That is at least for the past few weeks.. It is the only day that Trav dear and I get to spend the whole day together and take a little time off work..

The rain changed our plans for Tanjong beach and we ended up at SPCA to look at little pets.. I was glad the dogs were all caged up.. Some of them were really huge! But they looked really pitiful..They all had that "take me home" look on their faces..

All the pets there were interactive..as you walk along, the dogs wld stick their head in between the bars as if to say they needed a home..

The cats were kept in a little enclosure and they could play with one another.. I went inside the room and most of the cats were sleeping.. These are the grown up ones and there were a few fat ones..

This one was trying to Poopoo when his friend came and disturbed... I guess he cldnt shit in peace so he did not after all..

The younger cats were kept separately in cages in anoter room.. I fell in love with this little one the moment I laid eyes on it..

It started meowing at me with the most innocent tone and stared at me.. I put my hand thru the cage and it placed its head at my hand so that I cld stroke it..

There were bunnies as well!! This one was our fave cos his hair resembled Trav dears..

See tat funky hair???

Kid's Kampong!!!

Trav dear brought me there again the other day to visit the little animals!


I always pity them cos they all seem super hungry and when u throw the pellets into their cage they rush for the food..

Cute little duckies!! They peck on the food soo fast.. I really pity them..

The white goose is as noisy as always.. just how it was the 1st time I saw it last year.. It always goes "Wowowowowo...wowowowowo..."

And white goosey has a partner, brown goosey... Brown Goosey is super Lun Zhun.. it tries to get on the blue crate platform, but always trips and falls back in the water.. and it likes to irritate people watching it..

It flaps its wings, as if trying to sprinkle water all over you..

And my best fwens!! The bunnies are cute as usual.. and this time, there are baby bunnies hiding inside the wooden hut!! They were really shy, so they didnt dare to come out.. They just peeked ut through the door

This was taken last year.. This is how hungry they are!! The only time they are fed, I guess, is when guests buy the animal feed.. mostly on weekends.. Im quite sure of this, cos comparing my Fluffy bunny and these rabbits, these rabbits are just anorexic..

Yea the same white goosey that goes wowowowo... I think it remembers me... kinda...This was taken like last year, but the white goosey still looks skinny.. proof that they arent really fed..Poor little animals..

1 nitemare and 2 dreams.. all in one night

Yea, it was really disturbing.. having woken up from the nitemare at 4am, "panting" but relieved. I was dreaming about war times, and had boarded a cab only to find the driver a baddie, and that he was taking us to be tortured.

I always dream about wars.. I have a thing about analyzing my dreams.. and in last night's nightmare, I was always escaping from the baddies in the war.. So I searched, and found this analysis:

"To dream that you escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies
your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. On the other
hand, it may mean that you are taking an escapist attitude and are
refusing to face up to problems that are not going away.To dream that you escape from injury, from an animal, or from any situation, signifies your good health
and prosperity. You will experience a favorable turn of events."

The last part is prob the most relavant.. signifying good health... prosperity, not quite yet..
But I still think I had that dream cos I was sooo soo disturbed by my hair cut yesterday.. my stylist did not live up to my expectations and I was still toying with whether to re'cut it elsewhere..

Small issue but it disturbed me soo much.. Im just very particular about how I look la.. Ive always hated going for hair cuts since young cos it always turn out a disappointment..

Had 2 other dreams after i went back to slp.. the second was about arguing about sumthing that I cant quite recall..

"To dream that you are arguing, suggests that you are trying to resolve some internal conflict or some unsettled issue in your waking life. Consider the symbolism of whom you are arguing with and what you are arguing about. How does he or she reflect some person or soma aspect of yourself in your waking life? "

The unsettled issue is prob about my hair again... Grrr..
