The thought of attending my usual 2 Sunday aerobics classes did not thrill me instead I find it bored with the predictable footworks. And the sight of the cute 2 he-instructors did not excite me anymore. (Z o Z)
So agreed to go cycling at ECP with Piggy, Moo and their 4 frens. It was my first cycle for this century; din cycle for dinosaur years. Naturally after choosing our own bike, everyone started to hit the cycle track. And naturally I am the last one to setoff as I need to wake-up my basic cycling skills like balancing, pedalling, braking and oriented myself to the "speedometer" of the bike. Luckily Piggy turned back to look for me and taught me how to set the speedometer - Left 2, Right 7. And we rode off together. \(^_^)/
When I started to relax and enjoy the surrounding people and scenery, I realised there were hunks running besides me!!! And some even running top-less to show off their fab toned body(*_*) Must coax my bro H to run at ECP so that I can come with his transport (^_~)
Started from ECP mac to Changi village food hawker centre and back to ECP mac, about 35km! ++ abt 35C sorching sun!! Enough practice for me to prepare for next Sunday cycle event. And now need to nurse my aching thigh and butt. (-_-*)

Health is Wealth
Both my dad and my aunt had admitted to hospital and made me realised how important health is. My dad was in and out twice and my aunt is still there since before CNY. Luckily my dad had an op to remove his growth in the colon. But my aunt is there and heard she is very feeble. My heart ache for her and my cousin especially when she told us with tears brimming in her eyes. Pray that my aunt could recover soon ....
CNY to me its just another public holidays - no need to work, laze at home, sleep till late, eat till sore throat. What I always looking forward is the gathering at my 大姨house - that's when my 大舅父，三舅父, my cousin's family (her GG girls) and my Chiang family (10 pax) will Lo Hei, makan, catch-up and photo-taking. Though we meet once a year, I like the bonding we have and I hope we could keep doing this yearly.

The price to pay for business trip
Manager asked: er ... 6 cycles is for Core uat right???
Me answered: no ... that uat for our Singapore Country only.
Manager asked again: then core UAT our users just need to verify the test result right?
Me said: Yes but we also need to do our own country specific uat.
Manager said: right lor, then the 6 cycles is for Core UAT
Moi Aku Saya said "clamly": no (pause to suppress my flare) the 6 cycles is for our SINGAPORE uat which our users need to do themselves and nothing has to do with the CORE. (end with a fakey smile)
the back-to-back meetings/TC were the cause of my sore throat and cough bcoz no time to have a cuppa -> no urine -> no way to detox -> so sick lor.
So jealous that Piggy and 大师兄 have gone prawn fishing while I was "ploughing" and coughing in off-pi.
Now I look forward to 2 things :
1. my Sunday's 2 aerobics classes with the cute he-instructors ; P
2. CNY so that I can have a long break ... dong chiang, dong chiang : >

Manager said: I jus wan to clarify so that when i present in meeting, the exco members are not confused
I think he is confused lor; the blind leading the blind
Sigh ...... so many emails, TC, status updates, reports, deadlines, meetings to attend ever since returned from HK .... Haaaaiiiiiiiii (long sigh)the back-to-back meetings/TC were the cause of my sore throat and cough bcoz no time to have a cuppa -> no urine -> no way to detox -> so sick lor.

Business Trip to HK
HK is one of my fave place which I enjoy the food, the shop, the people and the language. Was there for 1 week - it was relaxing to attend meetings, workshops and catching-up dinners.
Sunday - Met ex-H colleague A for Tze Char dinner at 旺記 - 銅鑼灣登龍街1號(a small lane near Times Square)and we sat at roadside table. We ordered : 蜜汁燒鱔, beef broth, veggie, fried chicken. The food was nice and cheap; perhaps the dust and smoke that made the dishes tasty and experienced 坐街的滋味. Then a 3-hr karaoke session at Neway Karaoke Box with 2 drinks per pax - a big room for 3 person and a PC to surf net.
Monday - morning meetings and afternoon workshops. Met ex-H colleague S for steamboat dinner at 新星海鮮酒家 and 義順雙皮奶 as dessert ; ) I LUV the dessert.
Tuesday - workshops whole day. Tze Char dinner at 嫦記 - 跑馬地毓秀街熟食中心2樓2號舖 food hawker centre with pm KL. We ordered : 風沙雞, 雞燉翅, Brocoli 炒鮮奶, steamed fish. 嫦記 food not as nice as 旺記 but a new place to me. (下次要試吓一樣多人的珠記比較一下.) Then again 義順薑汁燉奶for dessert ; )) I simply LUV it!!!
Wednesday - meeting and workshops whole day. Went to Ladies street and Garden street with colleagues L and J and scared the acid-pouring would strike again .... heng, nothing happened but the streets very quiet lor.
Thursday - workshops whole day and drinking session as OT at 29th floor of another building. it has a full length mirror view 落地玻璃 of the beautiful harbour view. Mingled with the project people and eventually "void cheque" walked us back to the hotel.
Friday - workshops whole day; skipped the hotel lunch buffet and went out to eat 再興燒臘飯店: 三寶飯包括豉油雞、叉燒及燒肉. Did last mins shopping at Wan Chai. bumped into Aunt Gloria and told her repeatedly not to tell Grandaunt that I was in HK ; P For dinner I have 愛爾蘭瘋薯 - 肉醬薯條 and 發記- 湯丸粟子露.
Saturday - woke up late; had 檀島Honolulu 蛋撻, 波蘿油 and 奶茶 for breakfast; walked 1 round in the Wan Chai computer plaza to ask abt the price of some gadgets.
BUT the burden that I brought back is invisibily heavy with work.
FULL FORCE ahead and may the force be with me for this project. V

Fruit Fasting - first attempt
Ate too much over the long weekends, I decided to fast on Monday 4th for one day :
Breakfast - 1 cup Dates, Raisins, Whole Grain Cereal mixed with 250ml Protein Shake
Morning Tea - Hot Soyabean milk with NO sugar
Lunch - ABC (Apple, Beetroot, Carrot) juice with NO ice
Afternoon Tea - 2 tubs of cut fruits
Dinner - Break fast with a cube of HK pineapple tart ; P
Supper - 2 mini Kaya croissants & 2 mini Choco croissants
Results : the urine was in clear colour and the body / organs felt light and rejuvenating. Surprised that I did not have dizzy spells and feel fatigue.
I will definitely fast once a week to benefit my health.

New Year Holidays
Some events and invites keep me occupied for this long weekend -
01.01.10 - CSR aka community service responsibility. Enlisted by my bro to help in being a usher for a old folks' event. So niece, I, bro n wifey had a wanton mee breakfast to store the energy required especially for bro as he needed to lift wheelchairs. Godson had his usual staple - 2 runny eggs, hot milo and kaya toast. Well I landed as a part-time photographer for snapping the arrival of busloads of old folks. Finally I served as a usher during the departure of the old folks.
02.01.10 - Joined a running club event - Scenic Northern 2010 New Year Fun Run. It was a 15km "flower smelling" pace run. Route highlites - Yishun Dam, Bottle Tree Park and Sembawang Hot Spring. The weather was good - cloudy with the sun playing "hide-n-seek", breezy, lots of photo taking, cheerful folks and encouraging marshall. As bro has another appmt, we left the group after bottle tree park. Overall, its a good scenic run that brought me to unknown places like the Dam and a cheery marshali kept suggesting its a good dating venue ...... he thought bro and I were couple .... no breath to clarify with him ; P
Makan party at R&T's house - what a feast I had - roasted duck, bryani rice, ayam curry, ikan curry, prawn curry, rye bread, red wine, white wine, beer, cheese cake, long-gan agar agar. To load the carbs I burned in the moring run. Chit chat, drinking, eating and Wii-ing. Fun evening, thanks to wonderful hosts - Mrs & Mr Chua.
03.01.10 - Woke up with some booze hangover but determined to kick off my Marathon training plan, so went for 2 aerobics classes and 30mins hill-pgm on treadmill. Now both legs felt like lead. Will rub some muscular relief balm and paste some muscular relief pads...good sleep tonight.
