Pooped!

Sunday's here so fast...
e mth of May leading to e BIG event is friggin tiring...
Me n Pam hv been buried under tons of work n reaching out every few secs for our stash of tidbits to bulldoze our way thr e stress n deadlines..
Hehz, I went to e supermart jus to get my fresh supplies of snackos...Aussie bities r awesome...Aileen's munching on tis huge slab of choc at work, e rate tis goes, all of us gonna morph into Monz sized piggies!

My snack stash!




Training bud made me tis scrummalicous sandwich to make up for e peanut butter, brie cheese, banana n tomato blooper last wk.
It was a simple yet elegant smoked salmon n scrambled egg sandwich, washed down with teh peng.
I savoured every bite n relish, it was gd!
Tokkin of which, sthg scary happened yest.
Had tis rule to run a 10km everytime I was scheduled for a tummy busting buffet.
Yest was gg to hit Raku (at Greenwood Ave) for e dinner buffet so made a runnin date with training bud for a run.
Hit e hot, dusty rds to run to Bukit Batok nature park bt the noon sun coupled with e dusty rds n stray dogs had me decide to hop onto a bus...jus so we cud reach e park n run within it inside.
Moments ltr, i told him, I feel nauseous...
2 min ltr, I cud feel darkness enveloping me frm all angles...turned round to e window n grasped e railing tightly.
Tried to tell him I was gg to black out soon bt cud nt speak n jus held his hand tightly...
I cud feel my vision dimming, my world gg to collapse upon me...
Heard him anxiously commenting on my pale lips..
n at tt moment, i tot of all e cases of joggers who jus lost consciousness n departed e world soonafter.
I felt reallie reallie scared at tt pt n helpless too, i din wan to black out n nvr wake uo again.
Told myself to breath deep, relax n try to prevent myself frm losing consciousness no matter wad.
Managed to stagger off e bus after i felt my vision comin back, slumped on e floor n gulped down water...
Tis wud be my 5th case of blacking out...all triggered by running.
The 1st one was when I was jus 12, coming in first among e gers for my 1.6km, I was ecstatic, tt was I was ecstatic b4 I collapsed onto e field...
Blame it on me being anaemic.
Bt guess I realised e impt of being healthy n i guess cherishing every moment of my life nw.

Moving on to happier stuff, haha, I ate lotsa Jappy food the past 2 wks...
Had ramen at Miharu Sapporo, tis authentically Japanese ramen frm Sapporo at Gallery Hotel.
Highly recommended by my Jap rep n food critics bt I guess we're more used to e Tokyo ramen n Sapporo ramen came across as too oily n the noodle strands a bit thicker n harder than I liked plus e chasen was a bit too tough for my liking too.
Ate at Ramen Ramen last fri n it was gd! Catering to Sporean tastes, e broth was nt cooked with lard n e chasen was succulent, juicy n tender!
Sakuraya Sushi at Ginza Plaza came highly recommended by Jap expats bt I found it onli okie, e ambience certainly din enhance the enjoyment.
The best was of cuz Raku! This modish Jap restaurant tucked away in the exclusive haute cuisine area of Greenwood Ave where Shiro, arguably e best Jap restaurant in Spore is located at, came highly recommended by my colleagues, bosses as well as the food critics penning Dout section of The Business Times.Went for the dinner buffet priced at 59+++...It was a farewell treat for ZM who'll be jetting back to Perth in 10 days time for his training n will onli be back 9 mths ltr..
Nt cheap bt it was worth every cent, service was impeccable n with both quantity n quality, Raku's a tough act to beat.
N the gorgeous manageress reallie cool to look at too.
Took lotsa pics bt nt with me nw, shall upload more
ltr..



Went to Sentosa, my fave stretch of e beach, Tanjong Beach n sipped an apple Martini at KM8 to chill out after eating Ramen Ramen..
Been some time since I last saw e bright stars in the dark skies.
It felt gd....felt in sync with nature n at peace with e world, esp after e hectic work wk...
As usual, i dunch hv enuff time for myself, bleah!!
gg to meet Wen after gym sesh ltr, am much lookin forward to it, nt seen e dear ger for ages!
Tokkin of which, I miss e 2A'ers , Na n Soph lots too....
Realise I can't go for e Shape run afterall, i gotta be at e airport tt Sun, phooey...
Bt I can make it for the Milk run on 2 July which is coincidentally e same day as e Osim triathlon which training bud is takin part in, ha, he has promised to come run with me in the Milk Run straight after his Osim tri if his knackered legs can make it.
I seriously doubt it, i wun wanna piggyback him all e way back!

Shall end off here with a pic of a reallie cute Japanese baby....I cud't resist snapping her shot in Tokyo..
Ain't she e sweetest...Awwwww...
