for the Children's Cancer Foundation...

yesterday Fitness First celebrated their official opening at AMK Hub by holding a chairty grp-exercise event. Everything raised on the day would go to the CHildren's Cancer Foundation. The day had on going classes going on in the Atrium of AMK Hub from 10am to 5pm. And at the same time, there was a cycling challenge going on. 5 teams, each team had 3 bikes, 5 members and 7 hrs to cycle as many km's as they could. i joined the Fitness First Capital Tower team, our team clocked almost 700km (687 i think...) but all in all - the 5 teams clocked close to 3500km!! anyway, this was done on like a pledge card thing, so the more the merrier =)
 
this was all on stationary bikes so imagine that... we rotated the 'shifts' so that everyone gets a break... so all in all, i rode 3hrs and 45min broken down into 1hr 1hr 1hr 45min.
 
i think in the end, the cyclists alone raised bout $10,000. plus the sight of big big BIG fitness instructors on the stationary bike was quite a sight as well =)
 
so the bikes were placed on the stage where the other instructors held the classes for the general public, so we got to see alll the classes that they offer. and BOY - is there energy mannn.. the Body Jam is soooo coool!! now i know where our coursets, long bra's and shox boots disappear to!! fwahh.. they look hot man!! im kinda inspired to join, but mannnn... i totally dun have the moves mann... the instructor was sooo good, she did the hip/bum roll thing and the body shake thing... and she was encouraging ppl to jus let it go, dun be shy and to jus let it go. and everyone cld do it and damn sexy somemore... and in the middle of AMK Atrium!! WOOT!
 
but ya, such was my saturday. I dun normally do these kinda chairty things, but once in a while, i go a bit mad. i did the 10km chairty swim 2 or 3 yrs ago and haven't done as much as drop a penny in the donation boxes since then...
 
but then again, im in desperate need for some cardio time as the fats have not been good to me recently..
 
Thanks Tommy and Yasir!! Great fun and great event =) Next time something else... maybe the X-Trainer?? haha

sometimes, something like movies really happen...

i found myself waking up jus now atb out 130.. i keep whining, its terrible, but at least ill have a good laf bout it yrs later when i read this back to myself... but ya, my movie was pretty bad, i mus have dozed off. damn, y cldnt i jus sleep all the way thru till morning. anyway, katze's were outside, lights all on.. so got up to let them in, switch off the lights and visit the lil girls room.. now i cant sleep... thats the prob with waking up and spending too much time getting urself back to sleep..
 
instead, i find myself listening to the beeps of my comp and staring at my ROM pics... =$
 
i bet if there was a video, id be watching it too... like in the movies only that my hubby or partner didnt leave me.. he's jus not around... im such a 'nasser lappen' as we like to say in germany.. wet cloth..
 
 
 

katze toy... dead *-p

HundKatze and SmallKatze like to play with remote control cars... but its hard to get one of their size... the big ones scare them... so i only buy small ones but with all small things, they are fragile.. so a remote control car is like a treat for them... but yeah, sadly, they dun last v long.. after the katze's catch it here, throw it there, chew on it again and finally pounce on it.. there's jus a miniture figurine with an antenna left... here is the latest victim in a line of remote control cars...

see ya Mini Cooper... nice hair in ur antenna btw..

for mummy

INGREDIENTS
Cooking Oil
Egg - 1, beaten
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Plain (all-purpose) flour - 55g (2oz)
Milk - 150ml (5fl oz) + more if necessary - {try soya milk also}
 
METHOD
Prepare pancake batter. Compain all ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth. The batter shld resemble the consistency of unwhipped double (heavy) cream. Add more milk if iecessary. Cover and set aside.
 
Lightly grease a frying pan over medium heat. Pour a small ladleful of batter into pan and tilt the pan around so batter coats the base of pan.
{i think here u can start to adopt the method u see in the shops - use those poached egg kinda forms and jus poor the batter into there.}
 
Cook until underside of pancake is lightly brown, then flip over to cook the other side. Transfer pancake to a warmed oiled plate and cover with greaseproof paper to seperate. Repeat until ingredients are used up.

long stretch for an old bird...

i went to the gym on Sunday which was like... circuit training workout sets with 10min cardio workouts in between @ 70%...
then Monday was 2 * 4km whack-run...
then Tuesday was another one of David's sessions which wasnt easy either as i havent been in the pool since before the BJ Trip...
 
Warmup 200,
Pull - 250
Set 1:
2 * 550 on 9:30
3 * 450 on 8
4 * 200 on 4..
Some technique work on Body posture in the water followed by:
Set 2:
3 * [50-100-50] on 5...
Total workout of - 4.2km - WITH warm up... warm up counts..
 
and today, even though im super tired, i wanted to go cycling - jus follow the Cycleworx folks grp and stay in the pack behind all the strong fast men... but yeah.. my chain broke a few k away from the Rodalink shop. 
 
but all this is ok, even though its quite a long stretch for an old bird like me.. i havent done these kinda LONG workouts over without rest day for a long time... the most amazing thing is that now, im like super pissed that my chain broke and that i didnt get to kill my alredi super tired body on that bike today.
 

 
im jus super spaced out and not quite with it this past few days... work is kinda no where coz we moving office.. no hubby and therefore training like a mad woman coz i nothing betta to do.. and hence tired.. i suppose thats y i come on this FrauKatze blog and crap bout nothing to myself.. sometimes i wish FrauKatze cld talk. i bet she'd make a damn good bitching partner coz she is such a bitch.. ever since i steralized her, she is a nicer cat. still bitchy at times, but nicer at times as well. i bet if SmallKatze cld talk, he wld be like...
 
"EHH!!! GIVE ME MY FOOD!! WAT THE HELL IS THIS!! MY BOX IS TOO DAMN DIRTY SO ILL JUS SHIT OUTSIDE OK??"
 
HundKatze wld prob say -
"OOOO, hellooo!!! wah, so exciting, there's a small ball looking thing which i can play with!! OOPS.. dun touch my fur..."
 
HerrKatze wld prob jus say...
"Halooo.. I'm HerrKatze - Thank you for all the food and water u gave me =) Thank you, i love you so much... "
    - yeah, he's that much of a wuss....
 
but yeah, we all have our lil kinks...
 

 
anyway, M-Vermaaa.. this one is for u - my egg {or shld i say urs =p} finally hatched =)
 Thanks man!! now i got a tiger cub =) so cute rite??

whining again...

i suppose the frustrating thing bout it is the irony of the situation - i walk out of the house in the morning and CAF comes back like... 30min later.  then He leaves the house at like.... 1745, 1800...then i reach home @ 1830. and neither is able to jus hang on for those extra 30-45min, jus to catch a glimpse and perhaps a cuddle and a kiss..
 
CAF, i miss you =(

home alone

so im home alone again...
was home alone last week and now im alone again..
 
i wonder whether ppl wld guess that im quite a wuss alone at home.. when Darryl is not around, im totally useless.. i turn into this longing creature, full of tears and emotions. Office let us go home early today as the air was full of toxic fumes from the paint job that was taking place in the office - the contracters are fast.. they have alredi torn down JDI and Bowerman and are re-doing the place. Anyway, i rushed home to see Darryl only jus making it in time before he leaves for work. He is on exercise this whole of this week and last week and he is the unlucky one to take the night shift.  
 
i jus feel useless without my other half or without knowing that i am going to go without seeing him for a long time. He wld prob cringe if he eva read this.. [thank god he doesnt] but ya.. i am. and quite badly.. such a wimp... and i know u feel terribly like jus digging a hole in the ground when i cry when u leave.. but ya.. =(
 
frens said - its good to be apart coz it makes u appreciate him more - im like... *shakes head*... =(
 
to kill time, i jus whacked 8km broken down into 2 * 4km - 4km out and back from my house... used the new Nike Free Everyday's which i still cant tell the diff between 7.0 and everyday accept that i can use my Nike+ with it... Embarrassed but one good thing i realised, i can finally run in Free's!!! seems that knee and my legs are not strong enough to take it down a notch to Nike Free 5.0. but ya.. now im back, im kinda stoning in front of the comp, writing this lonely entry missing my darryl... jus goes to show that nothing can perk u up if ur missing a loved one.. and although it gives me more time to play with the lil one who is so adorable (hugging, kissing, meowing and playing non-stop).. i still rather have Darryl back...

losing track of time and days..

Its been an eventful week... a rather happening one for me who normally leads a very dull and boring life in my house in front my TV...
 
Monday was back in the office to start packing up my desk for the office move and also help D pack up the rest of the RD Store Room.
 
Tuesday was another day of packing and work followed by a trip down to the swimming pool only to face the rain and an angry hubby...
 
Wednesday was teamNUS Awards Night and after an eventful presentation. Kevin even mentioned my name!! wah, so touched. Mingling with the new team for a lil while was nice, saw all the fresh new faces and some old ones too =) Certainly brought back memories and made me feel like 10 yrs older... haha. After the Presentation, i quickly managed to catch up with those other folks - Seetow, Prof Tan * 2, Sean, Carson... yeah. nice nite =).  After the presentation and reception, headed down to the prata place with CAF Buddies  and chit chat over kopi till 130.... =S
 
Thursday i caught up with Michelle as it was her B'day on Fri, so i tot id catch her before coz her bf snapped her up for fri... we went for our trial session at True Yoga... not that im against Yoga and all, but i tot no kick... painful but no kick.. i did not sweat a drop. yeah, the poses hurt like hell but u still dun get the kick u do when u run 10km or bike 60. yeah, so now i can officially say that i ahve tried it and i dun like it.. so no yoga for me. to be quite honest, i feel more like a weak-ling rather than a stronger, more in-tune woman after i walked out of the yoga class. but thats jus me.. i need to feel the burn and trembling muscles PLUS sweat it out. after the Yoga, we headed down to this Jap place @ Wheelock and stuffed ourselves! Babe!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
 
Then Friday, i did one of those rare things and woke up at 515 to cycle 40km. yeah, pretty mad. Fri was quite mad at the office as well. Everyone was packing up their stuff and the demolition of the office began. JDI was totally torn awart, Bowerman was stripped, the walls came down, the carpets were pulled out and the dust was everywhere!! I think the workers were even smoking in the building which set the fire alarm off and put the lifts out of order... ppl were giving out tons of free things - kinda like, ill put my junk on ur table. There was one last small sample Sale and boxes of products stashed away and forgotten were pulled out, dusted off and given away.
 
This week and next is kind of a strange week... CAF is on Exercise at work and he got the privalige of having the nite shift.... so its like im alone for the next two weeks. Was supposed to cycle this morning, however decided to jus stay in to wait for CAF to come back and also spend some time with him. He leaves work jus before i reach home from work, and comes back just after i leave for work.  Also the fact that at work, im not actually doing much also as we are all packing and preparing for the office move. Next week will be the same so i guess it will jus be like those times where u lose track of wat day of the week it is, or wat on earth ur supposed to be doing kinda thing. my bio clock is certainly screwed up coz of the past 3 late nites plus CAF working night shifts... sigh =(
 
But at least we finally registered for the Corporate Triathlon =) Bring it on man!!! Saturday 3rd Nov!
 
 
 

back home and clearing the camera =)

Its good to be back home.. we arrived at the crack of dawn on Friday morning. E and I got an entire isle-row to ourselves.. but no use.. still didnt manage to catch any sleep at all. but yeah.. before the take off, the grp of chinese tourists heading to Singapore were messing around in the back of the place as they got all their seats messed up... and the 'I wanna sit with herrr.. ' and 'I wanna sit with himmm' all flew around - quite entertaining untill one china lady decided she needed to cross the isle to the other side of the cabin and had to squeeze through my row... no surprises to my reaction... stupid woman
 
yeah.. so i got home, slept till 1300 Embarrassed - unpacked the luggage, did the laundry and cleaned the house. only this morning did i manage to unload the camera - our last day - probably the most fun day =) Thai team, Phil team E and I went to the Forbidden City!! Here are some pics:

Its nice to be home =) Nice to see my Katze's as well.
 

robbed of my dignityyy... =(

today was jus another day of amazement of this country..
 
we visited the Great Wall today - nvr thought i would go there in my life, but yeah, i did. anyway.. so before we started climbing up the wall... i decided to go to the lil girls room coz there are def no toilets up there on the wall... so i got into my cubicle after this ang-mo lady left it.. so i went in, LOCKED the door and happily carried on with nature's call.. suddenly someone is banging on my door - i quickly finish but not in time before the cleaning auntie banged the cubicle door open!!! then i didnt know its her - i thought some other person trying to come in after thinking the cubicle was unoccupied. so i shouted but she shout back at me... then she jus came into the cubicle *baring in mind i have not yet finished!!!* and grabbed a plastic bag which was thrown by the side of the toilet!!! then scold me somemore coz i nvr let her come in!! - i think have a v good reason for her not coming in.. im not done???
 
so there goes my shame, my dignity.. exposed to a line of waiting ladies. small consolation that the ang-mo lady apologised to me for that stupid auntie's behaviour... but OMG!! does that auntie have no brain?? ppl using the toilet and not even dressed!! u dun jus bang the door open and come in!!!
 
so.. embarassed and 200000% ashamed.. i walked out to wash my hands - today mus have been one of those days - i jus blew my top at her. she cldnt understand a word i was saying and neither cld i, but it felt damn good seeing her smily greeting as i exited the toilet going to a face of apology and begging for forgiveness. i hope her husband gives her a good slap tonight - she sure as hell needs one!! no BRAIN!! who the hell jus walks into to someone who ......
 
ya.. enough said.. the wall was cool though..
 
[Yeah - i really climbed up there... Confused]
 
[Work folks =) SEA, India and Taiwan folks =)]
 

1st 2 days in BeiJingggg

wah... my first time in Bei Jing and its quite a place
 
I have experienced things i have nvr seen before or nvr even dreamt cld happen in this world...
 
We arrived on Sunday morning @ 7am and went straight to the hotel. After a short nap, E and I headed down to the Silk Market - 6 floors of lil stores selling anything under the sun - clothes, shoes, bags (fake goods), kids stuff, toys, ornaments, paintings, jade stones... everything! Anyway, yeah.. we bargained like hell... the shopkeepers really wan u to buy mann... the lady wldnt let go of my once i decided not to buy.. she literally hold my arm and wun let me go =S scary...
 
Also, crossing the rd is also a challenge... u cars own the rd - pedestrian crossing.. so what??? real scary.. =S
 
Today we had meetings throughout the entire day... but we managed to do a quick walk up to the Nike BeiJing Flagship door. WAHH.. its so nice - wish Singapore could have such things...
 
 
Steady.. Nike+ in the store.. that frigging man is so huge... and i thought my man at Stadium was big... nahh.. Stadium window is TINYYY...
 
Anyway, i cant go to Nike BJ Flagship door and not buy anything.. so here's the damage -
 
 
[Yeah.. i made 2 trips to the cashier.. thats y 3 bags.. Sarcastic]
 
 
[Nike Sports Essentials!! Always good! Basic Tee's for Sports that are nice enough to do sports and sleep in =)]
 
Yeah.. i been dying for these to come to Singapore.. but sadly, we gotta wait - so i jus bought them here Embarrassed
Not much else though... Sports Culture a bit thin... only Windrunner which we have in Singapore - no nice non-inline colours...  oh well.. save money =)
 
Yesterday's Damage was too bad to post.. think CAF will scold me.. Embarrassed
 
 
 

tanlines

CAF and i have started riding reguarly again... after he soldl his bike found it really hard to find the motivation to jus get the bike out and ride it... riding alone jus doesnt cut it anymore... but yeah, its becoming a regular thing for us - Sat morning ride starting at our house down to the East Coast and back. Today we did 60km. slowly getting our fitness and legs back we took it easy. recently its been sooooo hot.. tan lines are bound to appear... but here is one of the more interesting ones ive got...
 
 
Sarcastic - on both hands - Sarcastic
 
i hope my face is not something like that as well due to the sunglasses...
 

free homedeco...

i knew there was something in my house that i cld put there....
 
 
 

cats really DO have 9 lives...

.. and HundKatze used up one of those last nite =( the poor thing had apparantly jumped or fallen out of my kitchen window where she landed with a lound UMPH onto the roof of a sheltered walkway. A kind family downstairs heard the fall and took her in and took care of her over night. CAF and I searched the whole of last nite... til 0130 am but we cldnt find her.. =( anyway, CAF took the afternoon off to look for her and while he was searching, he bumped into this kind family downstairs who asked him - are you looking for a cat by any chance?? white and brown.. long long hair kind?? - and so we got her back =) immediately we took her to the vet to see if she was ok.. i jus hope she is..
 
HundKatzeeeeee... dun EVA do that again!!! its a miracle u survived =(
 
 
SEE HUNDKATZE!! ITS DAMN HIGH!!!!
 
Poor thing... =(
 
[I love you... Embarrassed dun die... Sad]
