dont we all love holidays =)holiday shld be called housewives day....
not saying that i am a housewive, BUT... on holidays one tends to catch up on the outstanding ironing, cleaning, tidying up and house maintenance that one wld have to do on the weekend...
this morning, i tidied up the house, cleared up the mess, cleared out the junk mail, fed the Katzes and entertained HerrKatze a bit. of course not forgetting hanging out the clothes to catch the morning sun =) which will again increase my ironing load..
And breaki with yomama =)
What are holidays for... =)
*no, they are not for waking up at god-unearthly hrs to cycle, train or what have you... i have the whole day to do that... y must it at the crack of dawn??? nike+ =)=)check this out =)
Then i was looking at the Carrie and Daniel Challenge on the nike+ website...
So it seems that Carrie will win =) WOOHOO!!! Girl power!!!
BUT!!! sorri, someone DOES HAVE to ask this question...
Is it really fair that she won?? Coz... technically, if the two of them did it by themselves - ie no member of the public donates any miles to them - she would have lost... although only by 2km, but she would have still lost. fair and sqaure... SOOOO.... is it really fair that she won??
I think not!! but then again... jus my point of view.. good on u both for doing this =) boy i know how nerve racking it can be... right DUANE??? Check out on top!! I been runningggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!! 4800mtoday's program....
300m Warm-up
3 * 100m kicking
100m Fisting

Total - 4800m - around there... =)

tmw running again. and thurs.. and fri... and maybe saturday, or sunday, or both.... !!!!! Madness!!
how to stay away from the GSSdying... its so hot. Yesterday as well.. *faint..
I have found a new past-time-killer for part-time-housewives on a hot day who NEED to stay away from the GSS in town... its v cheap and super fun and makes u feel damn good as well.
BEST!!
Recommend this to all housewives who suffer from the same problem as me - now with the GSS I am trying v v hard to stay away from town... telling myself i wun miss anything coz it can only get better next year... See... this stupid GSS is not jus affecting my work life.. but also my personal life... arghhhhh
its been one yr...... since i had the terrifying experience in Bintan. The worst eva race of my life. Swim was like shit (took longer than 25min...) Bike was even shittier and the Run was the most dreadful thing I have eva seen in my life. Hills the steepness of stairs, both up and down. At the end, receiving prize money due to some poor girl having a horrible crash on the bike and ultimately, my overall position being LAST. Ppl say 'dun worri, crashes are part of racing.' but it just doesnt feel right. She would have beaten me, and just because she lost control on a wet slippery cobble stone path, she crashed out.
But not only was it a terrifying experience due to the above, it was the first time i travelled overseas to a race ALONE. two nights alone with no CAF to talk to. I ran up a huge phone bill ($200+) as i called CAF constantly to talk to him... he is a v v impt piece in my race puzzle... he's like my running shoes, u could run without them, but you just suffer like hell...
this all sounds v petty... but at that moment in time, it was quite shit... and actually i think it still is
one good thing came out of it though, Coach asked me to join his swimming sessions, to help me to bring my swim up to where it used to be. Thanks coach!! Greatful to say that it is back up to where it used to be (almost.. still got some work to do) =) But i swear, i will nvr go Bintan again. Just cant face those memories again. moaning part 2...i like to think that when i bitch bout ppl, i have a 'because-clause' to my bitching, i.e. i dun jus say 'this is shit' but i say 'this is shit because it smells'
so cld someone pls tell me why??? you keep saying i suck, but you nvr say why or what about me sucks... pls tell me where i can magically pluck this answer from... i know im crap, but i dun think im that crap... i have asked how, but little response.. i look wherever and whenever i can to observe and see other examples. but yet.......
thank god i got big sunglasses now, i can hide everything i need to
so much work for 5 min of SEEing...Moaning part -
the difference between looking and seeing to me is quite big... Looking is really LOOKING, looking at details, scanning for faults, spotting lil imperfectoins and commenting on watever. Seeing is jus opening your eyes and absorbing wat is there. So when someone comes to SEE Singapore, he will just absorb what is there... not think - err... there's a handprint on your wall - or - oh my god, this is so bad - . But then, thats my point of view. Its like... i like apples, you like pears. All the same, jus different point of view. So Mr Bigshot, pls come and at least look a bit, coz we put in 2 weeks of time into this prep for you.
Totally irrelavent, unimportant and most 'oh, so wat?? big deal...' part -
Today is the last episode of Desperate Housewives AND Heroes =(
The highlight of my week... I alredi feel so deprived without the weekly adrenaline rush of Prison Break... how will i cope now =( I think i should start watching 24 or Grey's Anatomy. Just to kill time - Afterall, there is only so much running and swimming and biking one can do before one jus falls flat on the bed, tired and exhausted from STUFF...
Happy part -
I got my new shades today!!!! =D Check this out!!
Kamsamidaaaaa!!!!!!! Thank you-oo... sorri wake u at 730 @ the morning to ask u if i can open the FedEx box...
ANyway, i didnt know that you could actually bend the nosebridge untill about halfway through the day. When i first tried it on this morning, it was a bit strange, the shades were too big for my face and didnt sit properly. There was a whacking great big hole between the glasses and my forehead.. had to convince myself that it suited me =( but after bending the nosebridge a bit, it sits closer on my face and looks better =) But it dun matter anyway... even if it looks silly on me... screw that, i like them =) Nike Unrest Shades!! Beautiful!!! its really the lil things that make you =)yesterday swimming.. jus wasn't feeling it too well.. but i think that was due to a knock-on-effect of a Satuday Run, Sunday Bike, Monday Run and Tuesday Swim... *faint
200m Warmup
2*100m Drills (1-arm swim)
3 * 550m with Paddles - on 10min

Ok la... not so bad. Still finished the sets, struggling a bit, but definitly feeling better - even though i was damn tired. But at least im not feeling as draggy as the first time i stepped into the water after the Korea Trip and my ROM.
checking in on the nike+ challenge... Duane-o is 11km up on me =( guess i know what ill be doing this weekend. we decided to do away with the forfeits, coz its kinda hard.. haha he's so busy, so am i... jus too many things to do and not enough hrs in the day to do them in.
over the past few days i have seen the biggest pile of shit in my life. work is really mind-boggling.. but we jus gotta get it all done. All ready for the big AP visit on Saturday. Its a real big thing, we even need to clear up our desks and tidy them up in the office for the AP VP to come ti Singapore.
so, since im so tired these days, my 'life' revolves around my Katze's... and of course CAF... but he's be nerding off quite a bit lately. dun understand why we need a geeky looking computer with LED's everywhere.. anyway.. my HundKatze is damn RAAAA!!!!
big paw Katze... she LOVES the aircon.. maybe coz she is so fluffy =p=p
Anyway, back to the previous post - its the lil things that count - one of collegues daughter drew me and Beberly a picture!!! SO CUTE!! We gave her some toys which we use to decorate our desks. The beautiful innocence of children =) Thank you Elicia!!!
my nike+ challengeSOOOOOO
Since i got this funky lil toy... i joined in the fun with the online challenges. Mr Duane challenged me to a 'WHO CAN RUN THE MOST KM' in 30 days challenge. It started... on SATURDAY =p=p
So.. the bet is... (well, this is the latest update.. haha)
If he wins - I have to dye my hair bleach blonde
If I win - He will have to grow his hair out for 3 months
SOooooooooooooooo.... obviously i went to run today laa... haha. but its all good, gets u training and running again. Anyway, DUANE!!! Im gonna beat you!!!!!!!!!!! Check this!!!
duathlon today!!!This morning i woke up at the unearthly hour of 6am, to meet Ernest and the folks at CWX for a quick Mandai loop before we headed down to watch the Duatletes at Shenton Way =) Wat a day... Nice course (both bike and run) but it jus doesnt have the capacity to hold so many ppl. i must confess - i was one of those idiots that went on the course, even though i was not supposed to.. but i didnt disturb anyone.. i jus rode around, didnt even road-hog.
loadsa ppl took part - Eugene, Pete etc, a whole load of Trifam ppl and ppl from Swimming class, even some cyclist! and Coach (looking good in his new suit... with matching yellow Shox Swift somemore... damn, i have to start racing to wear mine!! must be the first to debut it!!) then from the office Andrea, Duane, Laurent and Dan. And mr Ray made a rare appearnace with his bike (v rare in deed, but with this ride, his speedo should now have hit beyond the 1000km mark =) Congrats Ray!!) Bernard was there too - but not participating =p. Then Chris and Shem and their gang.. Uncle Jo, Lloyd is Char Siew as he was the Transition manager... Uncle Rob, T3 folks... EVERYONE!!! Kinda made u feel that u wanna do it too; ive been so busy that i have had zilch time to train and even less time to race. but then again, when i saw all the crashes and the hot sun, i was also relieved to a certain extent. Nevertheless......
Kimberly Yap won the Ladies Cateogry!!!
Marriana Second!!
~~ RESPECT!! ~~
But speaking of Duane... he challenged me on Nike+... who can run the most km's in 30days!! and damn, he ran with his ipod!! as of yesterday i was 7km ahead... i wonder whether at the end of today i will still be ahead... the challenge is damn farni, its an 'im betta than you!!!'-challenge... check this Duanieeeeeeeee
the katze's dun like bathing...no, they really don't... HerrKatze will cry throughout the whole shower, FrauKatze will give you the irritated 'ARGH!! F*** OFF and LEAVE ME ALONE!!!'-look and HundKatze jus dun like it... she's like a lil baby, she will jus give you those puppy dog (in this case kitten cat??) eyes which say - pls dun wet meeeee..... =(
Sorri babies... its got to be done...

was so nice to see a lil sentance in my mailbox saying 'thanks for holding up the fort while we're gone'. its really the lil things that count =)
lil things like a small bag of Fancy Feast to see the Katze's happily feast away, Its such a small thing, but it so nice =)
lil things like 'Darling, you want to watch Blade of Glory??' that make everything just nice =) No idea wat the show was about, but when CAF asked me to watch it after work, i was all =)=) for the rest of the evening =)
but its damn farni.. .haha.. two male figure skaters turn pair figure skaters - with each other =p Will Farrell is HILARIOUS!! haha...

But i was convinced it was Friday =(... oh mannn
today i swam at capital tower for the first time =p. swimming in the heart of the CBD... HMMM haha. the water was damn cold, i didnt swim much.. maybe 400m =p so many thingssssssssss to do...that i dun even know where to start... haha
today did a market visit with LF and Jas. Was really good. They pointed out many things in prep for the big visit next week. I feel less stress over it after going down with them =) now I know what we will have to do and once it is done, we will be able to maintain it, which is always the best. Was good to talk to them also, just in general, coz they have been in this dept for many many yrs, its always good to pick ur seniors/superiors brain. soooo Campaign here, campaign there.. tech sheets, GSS Signage, Running brochure... *faint.. ha. but i feel ok bout the shops for the visit. They will be ok =) dare i say good =p
today for the first time i went to an SSC Gym.
WOW - I'm speechless. It so diff from my gym. it cld make u think that maybe.... (just maybe).. you're paying a BIT too much for your gym. The Equipment is the same, just a bit older. BUT.. i walked out re-assuring myself (as all women do =p) that i cldnt work out in that kind of environment ... its 99.9% guys, and these guys are serious GUYS... muscles spilling everywhere!! not even eye-candy!! toooo BIG!!! its the gross-kinda-big... and no ladies!! there's so much testorone on the air.. a girl might turn lesbo.. =S Ernie, i think thats y u wanted to leave early eh?? hehe, too much for even the normal guy... *faint
so im happy with my monthly contributions going to the maintenance of my sauna, steam room, the endless supply of shampoo, soap and fresh towels, the free ice-lemon tea and of course... the swimming pool =)

not bad, i hope i wun die next week.... must be the tri suit that Ernest ask me to David... do a good dead and u get rewarded with staying alive =)
Thanks David!! your head is very hairy...is wat the hairdresser told me when i went to cut my hair...
But i cut my hair again. think it was an impromtu thing, i jus was sick of staring at the horrible mess the guy at Funan Centre did (not Kimage). When i went to have my hair done for the ROM, the hair dresser told me, girl, who cut your hair? its a mess!! then this guy who cut for me yesterday as well said - who cut your hair?? it horrible - but this one better, he showed me how horrible it was. the layers were all neither here nor there, everything was in a mess. but to be honest, i didnt need him to show me, i cld see it everyday when i did my hair in the morning.
so in the end... my hair is still the same as before, jus 3 inches shorter =) and i have something resembling a frinch =) my new ice cream scoops =)actually nDrea bought this for me a while ago... during her last trip to HK in April. but i cldnt bring myself to open it, coz it was so nicely packed up. it was a cylindrical box where the scoops are nicely arranged in a carousel... so pretty!! so i had jus put the box on my table for me to stare at and feel happy =) i told myself i will open them when i move house and have my ice cream party with the office folks. BUT... i cldnt resist... i jus tore open the box and here they are =)
[picture quality bit lousy.. ha.. OOOOOpsssss]
my fav one is the bear and the penguin... but the cow and the pig are quite cute as well... DAMNIT.. haha cant decide..
so folks!! take ur pick - when the ice cream party comes, u mus take ur pick. i chop the....... i think i chop the bear first.. then 2nd party i chop the penguin
its hard to pls everyone...jus like that... its jus hard to pls everyone...
no point for me to bitch bout why.... jus need to find some energy to prove these ppl wrong and get it PERFECT!!!
going for spa and haircut this weekend... thank god for that.
Next week is gonna be me running the show... all the bosses out of town.. leaving me to clear up and tidy up before the VP of APHQ comes down the week after next. bit scary.. but i think i can manage. well, we'll see if i can. actually, dun need to see if i can, just have to manage. no way out. Plus CAF also on some shitty exercise for two days of the week.. will hardly see him also =(
so fraukatze, herrkatze and hundkatze.. looks like its jus gonna be u guys and meeeeeeee
willy coffee gone uppp =(our regular kopi/IM joint at the office has finally circum to the pressures of society and has also increased its kopi prices by 10c.
what is this place coming toooo... now every morning when i leave the house i got to scramble an extra 10c worth of coins from hubby's wallet... maybe i shld jus go for the notes instead. Actually im quite nice to him... i dun touch his notes compartment, just the coins. Somemore he has this damn anal thing of putting the notes back in a certain way... face facing out, colours all together... wat ... @#$%^&*... But ya.. i dun like to carry coins in my wallet, so i put it in his - so only fair that i take it back out again when i need it
ok, that was crap.. haha
but damn it... soon GST gonna go up also... i think Gahmen needs to give us the seeds to the money tree so that i can grow my own. tax here, gst up, petrol up.. then dangle so many nice condo's and cars in the market for us to see and spend our money on... i need 10 money trees. but i bet even that i will have buy... mannnnnnnnnn
gym later with ndreaaaaaa its only wednesday????its been an interesting week. Been busy catching up on my rounds around the shops after my long break with the Korea trip and ROM. Ive hardly been in the office!! ive been like the 100% mobile person... checking emails on the go, uploading stuff to the home network through VPN... But swimming on Tuesdays with David is a must. Yesterday i went again. OMG - almost died.... Here is goes:
200m Warmup
2 * 300m Kick
5 * 600 on 10min rounds - this changed to:

RIght now its up in the air who is gonna explode... oooo... i totally cant wait.
Anyways... hehe
today was a first for me - i wore a skirt to work!!
My nice Korea skirt is soo nice... some things are just so nice that u have to defy ur rules of style/life/attitude... im not a skirt person.. skirts are for special occasions or unbarably hot days. and yeah.. this skirt is jus so nice =)
