more bali photos

more bali photos:
so what did we see the moment we touched down & decided to go for a stroll?

THIS. apparently you can get stickers customised here.

white water rafting on day 2! the river's difficulty level was like 2 & 3 & it was SUPERRR LONG. got bored of it after like the 2nd waterfall.

so, bali, besides having awesome beaches, they do also have lush green landscapes. this was day 3, it was just sightseeing. we were supposed to see some volcano, but the clouds/mist just blocked everything. so we came up with some hokkein inner joke, it goes something like this: kit chit dao kua ji lei sua niah, bo simi pua ha-ng (*direct translation: come here just to see some mountain, nothing really to see)


managed to snap a photo of this on the plane while on the trip back. it's a friggin volcano crater! the first i ever seen in my entire life, face-to-face! geography books don't count.

family shot,hahaha,mum's eyes are closed

vanessa, me & marcus!

the awesome dinner!

crazy dancing

the cute daddies (Y) they seriously look like beached whales


awesome shot that my mum took of me during snorkelling

cold

IT IS FREEZING ASS COLD IN THE GYM, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY MONTHS, I TOOK A LARGE TOWEL FROM THE SUPPLY TO COVER MYSELF.

BRRR.

totally not feeling up to it today, it's cold, my legs ache from last night, i have a darn irritating flu & cough.

church year-end fundraising dinner
i'm just thankful for God to bless the church with such a turn out & especially the auction results. yeah, so what if we helpers were suffering from tiredness & starvation, we're just glad that everyone enjoyed themselves & that the programme ran smoothly. kudos to the uncles! & it somehow turns out that people are willing to give more when they are a little high. heehee, thanks to the wine.

so, there was this studio shoot that people had to pay for $25 but helpers get to get their pictures taken for free. & so last night was like neoprint frenzy! hahaha. it's like neoprints but better! the troublesome part was waiting for the photos to develop. each person probably took like 10 photos home. i've still more to come, hope that they send the soft copies over soon :D

reached home, showered & it was K.O. for me. & i had only 3plus hours of sleep. which results in my lethargy at work. not even watching glee could keep me awake.

SCM photos



nice shot of me norman & nic (Y)(Y)



heehee, so proud of myself this year :D i know i took like 6 hours, but that's like 2 hours improvement from last year. & with only 2 mths of training, 6hrs not bad already! considering the fact that i have friggin' knee injuries!

i feel fat now.

baby choco

YES! I'VE FINALLY GOT IT! :DDD USED MY OWN FRIGGIN' $$$. ugh, this means my budget for christmas shopping has shrunk! hahaha, i made a promise to myself to not buy any clothes this month so that I could get this yummylicious FUJIFILM MINI INSTAX 7s CAMERAAAA. bought it at a sweet price for $121. yes i know, you can probably get this cheaper in taiwan/japan/hongkong but I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT! retail price is about $170-$190 and even camera blogshops are selling it at $140++. THIS, i went straight to wholesale. I FOUND A CHEAPER PRICE, but couldn't wait for it. wanted to bring this sexy baby to BALIIIIII ((:

these are the first few shots:
eh, ONE PICTURE COST $1!!! woah, can imagine jacq's heart ripping everytime we used her camera to take a shot.

girls keep secrets

I just simply don't get it. how is it possible to go into a relationship with someone you only met for like 2 weeks? 3 months? I totally refuse to use the words 'fall in love'. how long can that relationship last? also, not 'announcing' it, what does it mean?

I guess some girls are just willing to take that dive. I really can't.

STANDARD CHARTERED MARATHON 2010

YES, THIS YEAR I RAN 42.195KM AGAINNN :D
my main goal this time, was just to finish it. (again) i kinda understand the limits of my knees so yeah, finishing it is already the ultimate satisfaction. yeah, i do wanna get a better timing, but lemme get my knees checked out first. so, no pictures to seee. hahaha, i was just really focused in completing the race & getting the right mindset throughout the race. i ain't gonna be like those people taking photos with the distance markers -.-

i'm glad that i have nicholas running with me throughout the race, AGAIN. dude, i'm really sorry i pangseh-ed you sometimes along the way, but once i got the momentum to run & overtake people, i really cannot stop. but not bad, you can catch up to me when i started walking. so, the day began with my dad sending steph & i to orchard (starting point). we were there like an hour early & i could use the time to calm my nerves. you couldn't believe how frantic i was the night before.

sadly, steph & i had to be separated cause her bib was of a different colour. so i was in the last wave & thank God i had nicholas & weidi to run with meeee. but weidi kinda took the shortcut at around 16km. anyway, met wenhui & weijie at the starting point.

so the beginning of my 42.195km began with a steady speed. lots of sights & SMELLS. seriously, i did not expect a smorgasbord of smells. first it was pee smell. yes, pee. only 2km into the race, there was this canal, & all the guys pee there. yuckkkk. next was the rubbish smell, that was the chinatown-telok ayer st area. & when i got to east coast, i thought i will be able to breathe & feel sea breeze, boy was i wrong. it was BO ttm -.- HELPPP, i did not pay $$$ to smell all thatttt!

i felt quite proud of myself. in like 2hours i had hit the 20km mark. but my knees were already acting up around 11km )): i told nicholas we'll only start walking at 20km. we lost weidi around 16km i think. i was already very satisfied with myself when i hit 20km, 2HOURS!!! we then walked for 4km & then ran the next 4km, by which i lost nicholas. started walking again at 28km cause my knees couldn't take it. that's where i bumped into eugene again & ran with him for awhile & started walking again & that's where i bumped into russell & we started walking. seriously, i'm super pleased with myself this year. last year, i died at around 16-19km & took forever to exit east coast. around 28km, like this year, i was with the crowd & there were still people the other side! hahaha, last year i was sooo slow that i couldn't even get the energy gel & bananas. this year, nicholas & i managed to get 4??? & 3 bananas! so, exiting east coast, it was the new route & boy was it insane! the heat was unbearable & there was no friggin' shade! this long ulu road spans a construction site & marina bay golf course & it leads to marina barrage. so, russell nicholas & i decided to run from 31km onwards till like 34km despite the intense sun. i ran ahead & lost the two of them, sorry! but stopped at 33km & started walking cause the sun was just scorching! at least there was no rain (: i could seriously feel like my ears were gonna EXPLODE! REALLY, NO JOKE. at marina barrage, nicholas & russell caught up cause i was walking. i called steph, thinking she probably had finished the race, but noooo, she was only at 37km. turns out she had really bad muscle cramps.

sighh, i seriously would rather have muscle cramps compared to my stupid knees any day. seriously, i never ever get tired, but it's because of my knees, that every step i take is excruciating pain to the whole leg area, it contributes a lot to the fatigue of my run. pay for medical fees anyone? i've yet to figure out what's the hell wrong with my knees.

so, because of the intense heat, i practically walked from 33km all the way till 40km. terrible knees. i was praying really hard to God to pull me through this stretch & i was just walking! terrible knees. we met norman while walking & so he walked with us :D

the last 2km, i was just running on adrenalin & could have just gone ahead of everyone. but no, i wanted everyone to finish & not get left behind. yes, my knees were still bloddy hurting. i pushed the guys, literally. the last part, esplanade bridge, really got to the guys, push push push! hahahaha. i totally wanted to do a jump shot at the finish line, but i totally couldn't! hahahaha, my knees couldn't support me to do a jump at all! ohwell, next year?

i must say again, this year has been a vast improvement compared to last year. 8hours to 6hours. next year 5 hours? 4 hours? hahaha, i guess i have to start training for 42km earlier then. hahaha, i wasn't even supposed to run in the first place but because wesley couldn't so i bought it from him & that was like 2 mths before. imagine what 4 mths of training could do for meee :D for whoever's reading this, i may come across as a really proud/arrogant person, but whatever, i'm just really glad i completed this 42.195km. i really wanted to prove that injuries shouldn't limit a person's abilities.

cheerio! :DD
