back to nike+

 
so after slogging one week for the tradeshow, BU and Sales teams.. my week of slavery is finally over. These times come round once every 3 months and its real.. well.. its the pits of my job and i totally hate it.. this time was rally bad coz one of my close buddies also kinda fell into that mood and wore her stress on her sleeves. it was so damn big that she cldnt see other ppl'S stress levels and how upset they were. but nvm.. at least he bf's bday perked her up and gave her a break from her high stress. At least his bday was better than mine.. coz i was slogging it out on the weekend before the Sales MEeting for the BU, then on my actual bday for the tradeshow untill almost midnight (bless the VM's and Iris for sending me home before they were finished and K for staying back to help us with the women's room... ) and then also on the weekend after for the Sales Team.
 
so ya.. my past two weekends have been like shit.. or shld i say.. my past two weeks coz i didnt really have a weekend.. i been so tired that i have had no time to exercise at all.. getting damn fat... so recently i re-started my Sengkang discovery tour.. ever since i moved here i started this tour to find my 4km run routes, 5km, 6 etc.. i found a nice 9km one the other day and also 5km as well. the 5km one is all flat and the 9km route has some minor slopes. I been using Nike+ to measure these runs and so far so good. So recently when i finalyl found a minute to upload my km's, i was greeted with this:
 
nike+ greeting1
 
HMMM.... ok.. so i have clocked 250km till now.. wat a lazy runner i really am.. and to reward my lazyness, i received a certificate...
 
250km
 
EmbarrassedEmbarrassedEmbarrassedEmbarrassedEmbarrassedEmbarrassedEmbarrassedEmbarrassed
 
Oh Dear... thats really bad.. this nike+ thing has been around for close 8 months and thats all i clocked.. Nike+ has this charity run thing going on.. i wonder why Nike always chooses Allan Wu for these kinda things.. he's sooo not a runner. he totally dun look like one and his pose on the homepage is sooo.... Confused.. this is a running event, not a muscle show... somemore.. they only done like 30km each. THey better brush up!!!
 
nike+ charity run1nike+ charity run3
i soooo want to draw a circle over his face...
 
The Charity aspect goes like this_ for every km that you run, Nike will donate $5 to the Make a Wish foundation, but YOU HAVE TO JOIN THE CHALLENGE!! i tot its automatic.. howcome its not??? i alredi ran 20km since the Challenge started, only to realise i had to join the challenge before my km's wld count... Disappointed oh well.. it dun really matter anyway, coz i will be running a lot these days.. getting damn fat..
 
nike+ charity run2
 
So yeah.. later im going to the gym. i wanna burn 1000 calories, no matter how - run, x-trainer, wave machine.. swim.. anything. but def i will run a bit coz i joined this challenge above. i confirm have to run more than Allan Wu... he's 30km up. i got a lot of ground to cover!!
 

two cakes!!

yesterday was great!!
 
[besides all the hard work and mannequin cleaning!!]
 
but ya... in the morning, went to office to see this in my mailbox from Coach:
 
Image011
[E!! U look so sweet here!!! ]
 
I shld have gone swimming...
 
Then also during the tradeshow, boss and the team gave me a cake as well!! didnt have a cam on me so i cldnt get a pic of it.. but it was very nice - kind of a chocolate/tiramisu with early gray tea kinda thing with blackberries on the top. Very different taste and very nice =p... i wanna go there and buy more... Embarrassed.. ya, im a sucker for cake.. especially with blackberries in/on/beside it..
 
but ya.. its lil things like these that make things like yesterday bearable and help u forget bout wat was..
 
CAF didnt get me anything... oh well.. that jus leaves me to get myself something Tongue outTongue out
maybe another colour and cut at Tony n' Guy Open-mouthed???
he wun notice anyway Hot
 

for you mei.. =(

birthdays are always strange.. some ppl see them as a reason to party at the pub, get pissed drunk... other see it as a reason to spend ridiculous amounts of cash.. but i dunno why i always use them as an excuse to reflect on what i have missed out on in the past yrs or rather wat i have lost... the happy home..
 
during those days when i used to live at home, birthdays were a nice thing.. they were nice coz they lasted one whole week. mother wld bake my fav 'Russischer Zupfkucken' and cook a nice meal plus a big hug in the morning. Daddy wld also give me a hug when he came home from work with a big smile on his face. and something that made it even nicer, was that the we wld do the whole thing one more time exactly one week later as we wld celebrate Mei's bday. She wld get the Cherry Cheesecake that i wld sometimes help mother bake the weekend before Mei's day.. i wld help her drain the cherries or stir the whipped cream while mother wld prepare the cake mixture. and again, on Mei's bday, she wld get a big hug in the morning and daddy wld do the same when he came home from work.
 
yes.. to me, birthdays are a reminder of what i have lost.. and i find it amazing how much has changed. looking at it now, one wld nvr guess that we used to sit down and celebrate with hugs and cakes... and no matter how hard u try, u jus cant get it back. no photo of a happy moment can bring anything back.. the only thing left are memories of the those moments which u can sit and wallow in thoughts of 'wat if'.. or put aside. You jus learn to deal with it and move on the best way you can by hanging on to the ppl that matter most..
 
so this one's for you Mei and for all that used to be. this is our week and i hope ur doing something nice with flix.. i miss you very much and Happy Birthday!!.. =(

i think its fate...

CAF and I went to the BT SHopping Cente today to buy a remote controlled car for the Katze's. So as we were waiting for the fella to swipe the card to pay.. this kid runs up to CAF and grabs his leg and looks up at him with the biggest smile on his face. The boy's mother laughed out - "Hey!! Come here!!" and the Father also burst out laughing... not want to grab the boy off CAF's leg coz u know.. grabbing someone else's 'private parts' and all... so the boy jus looked up at CAF and smiled and laughed. hehe.. CAF was speechless and also a bit clueless coz he didnt want to wrestle or man-handle the kid off him in front of the parents in the small tucked away shop.. but yeah.. that was quite a sight =)
 
maybe this is a sign coz this is not the first time that a small boy has run up to him and jus grabbed his leg with a big big smile up to CAF.
 
am i destined to have a son??
 
OMG!! I cant believe im having these thoughts!!!!!!!!
 
 

the piggy bank will NVR make u rich...

i can now honestly say i tried it and it didnt work...
 
everyday when i come back from work, i will put the change from my pockets into my Kittybank. i started this 'on-the-side' saving method coz i didnt know wat to do with my change since i hated carrying coins in my wallet. so i bought this kittybank (2 of them.. one for the home, one for the office) with the intend to buy Fancy Feast for FrauKatze since she loves it so much. so yeah.. that was like 1 yr ago.. and all i saved was $115!!! PAthetic rite?? But oh well, seems that FrauKatze can smell her Fancy Feast alreadi, check her out and how she's smelling the moneyy =) I love you FrauKatze!!

schwimming back on track!!!

The body is an amazing thing. Wat a short rest can do to u can range from utter devastation to complete exhilaration!! I took a short break from swimming when I went to BJ, nvr went for 2 weeks due to work commitments. It totally killed me... cldnt even swim 2k without my arms starting to scream... (Utter devastaion) but then, a rest from training and i managed to squeeze out two events at the Corporate Triathlon two weeks ago and still do a decent time (complete exhilaration). BUt yeah.. seems that these ups and down are finally levelling out coz my swimming seems to back on track:
 
Warm Up
 
System 1
Pyramid:
1 * 550m (10:30min)
2 * 450m (8:30min)
3 * 200m (4:30min)
2 * 400m (8:30min)
1 * 550m (10:30min)
 
Some Backstroke laps to improve general body positioning in the water
 
System2
6 * 100m (2:30min)
4 * 50m (1:30min)
 
so happy i cld do my 100's now all in the 1:20min range. of course after that ur totally dead, but at least i can do it =)
And i think that is the joy of swimming that i have long lost... the fact that i can kind of get half of my old self back. Ill nvr swim as fast as i used to when i was younger... but at least im somewhere there =)
 
Thanks COACH!!

another dilema..
i think this is too much, looks like a union jack more than anything...
but its almost midnight... play somemore tmw...

wardrobe dilema...

so anyway... every now and then we have a sample sale in the office.. one of the perks of being an employee of the company.. u get to buy and wear samples.. Sarcastic but its really cool coz u can
a) get good bargains
b) sometimes get stuff that will nvr be released in ur market
c) gives u time off work to shop for them every now and then =)
 
but ya.. before we shifted office, we had another one. i picked up this interesting item:
 
top..
 
i love it!! BUT... i dunno wat the hell i can wear with it.. so its kinda been sitting in my wardrobe ever since... Sad
 
so since today was one of those 'do-nothing'days'... i was surfing around... and as u do, whilst nothing to do, i normally check out the nike.com.sg webby as part of my routine...  and i found this!!
 
nike sc webb
 
So the Sports Culture site has finally been launched!! im a big fan of Nike Sports Culture.. dunno y.. might be habbit coz its all i been wearing for the past 4 yrs when im not in a running singlet and shorts... but ya.. i love it! Especially the jackets!! and that one above and of course my darling white leather jacket.
 
Anyway, so as i clicked in.. i saw this!!

i cldnt believe it!!
A solution to my wardrobe problem!! giving it a try.. this came out...

Schwimming was supposed to EASY today.... turned out anything but that... *faint
 
System 1 -
4 * 250m on 4min
3 * 450m on 8min
2 * 500m on 10min
 
Some backstroke training
 
Sprints -
5 * 100m on 3min (all about 1:21)
5 * 100m on 2:30min (all bout 1:24)
 
so now this uncle can tell me he can do 10 * 100m Brea on 1:25... i got the perfect answer for him.
 
So today i'm kinda dying... so tired after yesterday.. was quite bad.. coz L and I emptied the tank after the first 5 * 100 (as u can see by the timings..) the 2nd 5 we were kinda like... two wet clothes... must hve been quite a sight.. im sure.

CIMG1050
 
how nice is that...
ya... every morning i stare at that during the few seconds it takes me to apply cleaner and moisturizer to my face...
 
it makes me think that my cleanser and moisturizer are worth while and that i DO need to exercise on a regular basis... shit, who gets legs and a butt like that by jus sitting around all day...
 
btw, this is actually a picture of a print that is available on an upcoming Nike Tee... i think it shld be available in stores now or Dec... ill DEF be buying that...
