A Lazy Sunday...

Yeah, I realised time does pass damn slowly on Sun without my gym routine..
At tis moment, i shud be in bodycombat class with Calvin n then clocking a few laps in e pool b4 soaking up e sun on e deckchair..
Bt rite nw, I'm jus oozing in front of my lappie, which I've nt touched for sooooo long..

Hehz,n last nite, i did sthg which I've nt done for some time too.
I ventured into e kitchen n actually cooked an actual dinner, hoho!
Chopping onions, peeling potatoes, cutting the chicken meat into cubes, frying my omelette...
I cooked Japanese curry n omelette rice, hehz, a sign tt i miss Japanese food...Boooo...
A dear fren was feelin down so i decided to put on my apron n whip up a ...alright, nt exactly nice bt i hope decent dinner for him...
The last time I cooked for anione was actually for Ric's 24th bdae...tt wud be more than 2 yrs ago...
N yeah, i burnt myself, spilt e egg, burnt e rice n was quite a total elephant.


I realise i hven't been thinking much of wad I want frm my career.
Newbies will be entering soon n some old colleagues hv asked for transfers...
I hven't exactly been looking at Recruitment much cuz I want to stick out at least 1.5 yrs in my present job b4 hopping to sthg new.
The learning curve is starting to reap dimishing returns.
I wan so much more.

Been reading other blogs, of e rs btw women n love.
e need to feel cherished and treasured.
I'm quite confused.
I dunno wad I want.
I guess i jus want to live life to e fullest, as best as I can.
Sometimes, we dun hv much choices in life n e next best thing we can do is to make e most out of it.
Esp after reading abt Joan in Sunday Times today, of her simply lying n waitin for e end to come.
I felt guilty.
I hv everything to be thankful for...n i am.

So i shall put up a valiant effort to battle e post hol blues as best as I can next wk.
The various races r coming up...
Will need to hit East Coast for another half marthie trial run.
The biggest qn facing me rite now. My Hair.
To perm? Dye? Highlight? Cut? Or jus leave it alone?
Perm doesn't exactly fit my image, somehow...
HIghlighting n dying will jus image my oredi twig like hair, made worse by my swims nw..
I can't bear to snip much of my long locks away nw n gifing it a mere trim is an absolute yawn.
I can't leave my hair alone! I look like e Loch Ness nw...
Sometimes i wish I'm a guy.

Sighhh....it's onli 2pm nw.....yawnz....think i shall hit e bed for a noon snoozie..

Whimsical fancies...

Phooey....blogger images has been acting up recently n i jus can't add animore pics..
Rite nw, I'm split btw staying at hm to laze n hitting e gym for another round of combat n suntanning..
Tummy feels a tad bit queasy. I wonder y.
Rite b4 I left for Tokyo n Shanghai, took a day's leave on Fri n tog with training bud, we headed to East Coast for a 18-20 km long run.
It was hard, I had to cope with real bad stomach cramps, e unbearable hot sun, a slight drizzle....bt it felt gd after we completed tt half marthie.

Up high on tt mountain resort at Mt Fuji, we went for a short run.
The temp was ard 5 degrees n i soon t a real bad headache, mebbi I jus wasn't used to e cold plus I was onli clad in a thin tee n shorts.
e gers in Tokyo r all drop dead gorgeous n so immaculately dressed, it was jus unbelievable n i felt reallie ctry bumpkin n ugly there.
Everyone was so polite, considerate n soft spoken it was a reallie pleasant experience though e prices of stuff in Tokyo proved to be quite a shock, hiakzz..
Shanghai was such a contrast, it was brash, rude and loud.
I guess, tt's cuz it's still developing.
I hated e food in Shanghai, absolutely abhore it, even e xiaolongbao at its most famed restaurant, Nanxiang failed to budge my tastebuds.
Bt at least, meeting up with e guys in Sh was fun.

Sigh...back to work tml.
I've gt a deadline due on Mon itself bt I managed to push it back to until Fri..
Nt to mention e tons of emails I'e gotta clear in my inbox..
Plus, there's nothing much to look fwd to animore....
I shud hv tried my best to snag a Jap guy n then settle down in Japan to be a tai tai, fwahahaha..

I'm thinking of quitting my job to work in Coffee Bean, sthg I've always wanted to do.
Bt tt wun pay my shopping bills n future vacation trips...
Bleah, reality bites.
Ouch!

I'm back...

Bleah! n missing Tokyo oredi, esp after watching my regular dose of Japan Hour tis morn..
Touched down Fri, 1 am....n i was such a cranky grumps on the flight, whining incessantly due to my super dehydrated throat n skin, e cramped confines n e seemingly endless flight back hm...
Cud onli get to sleep at 4 plus am then we scooted off to East Coast for a leisurely 10-12km run underneath dark threatening skies..
Feels gd, esp since I onli ran once....at a mountain resort in Mt Fuji.
My new Asics trainers din get too much of a workout cuz Tokyo was too cold n Shanghai too polluted.
Hehz, hit e gym for combat yesterday n am gifing e gym regime a rest today in a desperate effort to prolong Sunday as best as I can.
Post hol blues will kick in hard tis time.
In a nutshell, I much prefer Tokyo to Shanghai, hehz though i was half frozen all e time cuz din bring enuff warm clothes plus a cold spell frm Hokkaido hit ard tt period.
It was so cold tt I puffed my way thr 3 Virginia Slim cigs....cudn't help it, i was jus too too cold to function.
In e end, he conveniently left behind my pack of Virginia Slims in e hotel rm b4 we jetted off to Sh...all cuz he cud nt stand e stench of cigarette smoke ard him.
Just as well, since Sh ain't tt cold n i no longer needed a puff to warm myself.
Alwite! Shall let e pics do e talking..


First Stop: Toyota Showroom!






Ramen on e cold streets of Tokyo (1st nite!)





First brekkie in Tokyo





Stupid blogger ain't working too well n I can't post animore pics..shall save them for next time then..
Buaiz!

Jetting off to Narita..

It's 430 am nw n i'm at Changi Airport, departure lounge...feeling reallie sleepy n tired...
Bleah!
Will be boarding e plane in half an hr's time for Narita, Tokyo...
Will be veri much looking fwd to exploring both Tokyo n Shanghai on my brand new Asics trainers, hee hee!
Running along unfamiliar pavements n in cool spring weather is precisely e uplifter I need frm e dreary rut I've fallen into at work.
Alwite, out for now, till I'm back!
