Go!

It's a lazy Sunday morn...
Gt up at 9 plus, had brekkie then did my usual domestic chores of vacumming n mopping e floor..
Was supposed to hit e gym with sista bt in e end, both of us decided to jus go for a jog/walk in e evening...
I've rested my legs for 1 wk, nw's e time to start running again.
Made tt resolution to lay off running for a while last Sunday bt on Monday, i hit e gym n automatically went on e Monz, had to stop after jus 1.2km, it jus hurt too much..

Thurs n Fri were course days, super super boring....
e onli highlight was tt we had lunch at IKEA, my top fave place, been so so long since i went Ikea...
e cheesecake still taste totally whammy, no, make tt a double whammy! Light vanilla flavoured cheese filling with a thick, biscuit crust, it was totally worth e calories!
Yest, went to Hanabi, e highly recommenede Jap restaurant at King's Arcade for Jap buffet, bdae treat for dear Wen...whom i've nt seen since our KL trip tog..
Since she works European hrs, it's jus incredibly difficult to meet up with her n we had great fun stuffing our faces n then wincing with pain at our bloated bellies as we rolled our way out, hahaha...
Plans for a drinking sesh were totally out, cudn't imagine adding alcohol to our sashimi-sushi-maki-chawamushi filled tummies, it may veri well explode!








Verdict: It's gd!
Sashimi was fresh n the food came pretty quickly though we had to request for our hot green tea which had nt come even though we were oredi halfway thr our face-stuffing feast.

Tried their Spider, e softshell crab handroll, their spicy salmon skin maki, miso soup, chawamushi, fried chicken pieces, pregnant fish, octopus, yellowtail n salmon sashimi, yam salad, Jap curry rice, udon, prawn n veggies tempura...lots lots

There was jus so much to try, so many items on e menu tt we were simply spoilt for choices...
bt with e exception of e jap chicken curry rice n e pregnant fish, everything else tasted gd!
Wud def recommend it! esp to cy who simply swoons over salmon sashimi, hiakzzz...
Nice, zen-like ambience too, with pics of gigantic koi on e walls, which i initially mistook to be giant-sized chameleons, hehz..

Anyway, i went Ikea n blew over 100 bucks, buying stuff, some of which i need n some n some of which i din reallie need, hiakzz...
Bt bought some stuff to vamp up my workspace...


Tried to position them in an aesthetically pleasing way to make it a visual delight...
Bought a cool, black mug, a black-skinned pen holder, another totally cool steel pen holder, candle light holders n a bag of potpourri to fill those candle holders n haha, a dark wood mirror!
Yeah, I'm still as narcissitic as ever, figured my compact mirror ain't big enuff for me to indulge in my narcissitic excesses so i bought tt mirror for my work station.
I love it totally!
n gg to cut out pics from Shape n Runners' World mag to stick all over my cabinet n walls to serve as runspiration n great motivational kick-ass purposes...
Wen mentioned tt she may wanna join e 10km leg for Standchart...
i think i may still join e half marthie for Standchart cuz at least i noe there wun be any sandleg n i'll be smarter nt to bring along a bag tis round.
The times for NBRR r out, 1 hr 18 mins...dinnoe noe wad to make of this timing n nt much significance actually cuz i din even run at all, was either walking or jogging....
The 10km run i did for e Sheares Bridge run a few yrs back was much much more enjoyable.
I ran e full 10k n sprinting towards e finishing line with e river as a spectacular backdrop was fantastic.
The Sheares Bridge run or army half marathon's coming up soon, Sept 11...2 frens cum runners enthusiasts taking part.
Haz, it's rather interesting, i guess cuz both hv been training for it, both timings r pretty close, their best timings for 10k range from 41 to 43 mins, i think.
Wun be gg for this run bt hope both of them do their unit proud n achieve their targetted timing!

Was deliberating whether to join a fitness club n was oscillating btw Cali Fitness n Fitness First, more swayed towards Fitness First nw, cuz i feel tt u reallie ged wad u pay for though Cali's closing hrs r later n Wen's a member of Cali too.
Bt it's quite true tt e membership prices r pwetty steep, e most ex of all, i think...bt by George, the new outlet at George Street (haha, punned) is totally awesome!

How do u beat tt view??
Splendid view of Boat Quay n Esplanade plus e heated swimming pool they hv...It's truly alluring..
Bt e location poses a big prob plus i gotta rein in my expenditure if i were to commit myself to this membership n the Paragon one is much more accessible, actually...
oh well, may be meeting up with e fitness consultant next wk...
bt i think i love my runs along e canal too much, a fitness club membership is gonna gnaw a huge chunk of my evening runs away...
n i met the bigwig figure of Mediacorp at a canal again last wk...
He was perched on a ridiculously small bike again, with his little son n i was flopped on e bench, looking at e stars as e 2 of them stood in front of me, yakking away..
It was onli when i gt up for stretching tt i realised who he was...
Half wanted to ask him y it's so hard to ged into Mediacorp for fresh grads...Sheesh..
Perhaps, there'll be other chances...

This is turning into a real lengthy post...
Decided to revamp my study table n change it from a uni student's cluttered space filled with files, notes n bks to a working adult's tiny vanity corner...




n hehz, i've finally gotten my apple-spices scented DKNY's Be Delicious, thanks to Pammie who gt it at 25% off at DFS Galleria...figured i wun be gg to e airport too soon ye i cudn't wait to lay my hands on this new fragrance.


I seldom fall in love with fragrances n my last love affair with a parfum was with Hugo Boss's Woman which e 1st bf gt it as a V day pressie for me...
Been quite a few yrs down e rd n finally, there's another fragrance which has me totally head over heels in love with it...

N i've added Wanda (my proudly named new witch's hat!) to my sleeping buddies...along with Nachos which had until nw been accorded e veri special priviledge of being e onli cuddly allowed on my bed.
I dun like soft toys, they're normally onli useful for propping up my leg in e all too common occurence of a leg injury.
Nachos is special, of cuz...
n nw there's Wanda...
Hope they ged acquainted pretty well soon n tt all will be cosy n comfy..

My 2 bedroom companions...


I dread to go to work on Mon n open my dreaded email inbox, no work on thurs n fri will jus mean a hefty workload n massive amt of work to be cleared.

I hope i hv time for my regular runs man, a storm's brewing nw, hope it will hv subsided by evening time, mising my run will jus make me all lethargic n grouchy...
Wanted to bake a Lemon Frosted Cake tis wkend bt Mum din wanna help! Boo Hoo...oh well, will save tt till next wk or e wk after next, I miss baking, hehz...
