On board the Junglee..

Junglee's the name of Abhi's boat which we were on this evening to watch the sunset. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy so could not see the setting sun but we had fun enjoying the wind in our hair, eatings lots of chips and sipping red wine. the sea was a bit too choppy for my liking - I am rallying for Abhi to buy a bigger boat :D. See video on Iz's blog.

The good life



That's the boat and condo I am rallying Abhi to get next ;)

Super sore legs.

Yes! We completed the Adidas 10km sundown run last night. The funniest thing happened where we got to the start line like 5 minutes after the start of the race at 8pm and of course, there was no one there. The organiser just told us to "Run Run" :P..so Jin said " you take care of yourself yeah, I go ahead" and left me running by myself (me asking myself at this point..where is the for better for worse??! :p)

I ran 4 km non stop with Celine Dion blasting in my ears. Thankfully the weather was cool as it rained just an hour earlier. After the 4km mark, I walked and ran intermittently - reaching the Finish line about 10 minutes after Jin (not sure of the exact time it took us to finish - will know in a couple of days). We definitely completed the run within 1 hour 20 minutes..if anyone's asking how I managed to do it, the thought that kept playing over my mind throughout was : just get it over with..the slower you take, the longer to finish. :)

After the run, Jin rewarded himself with a luncheon meat with egg sandwich..he said that was his real motivation for completing the race..lol.

My legs are feeling super sore today...i did not even have the strength to carry Sophie! No more running for me - think I will focus on yoga or pilates next.

update, 2/6/09 : Received sms that my total run time was 1 hour 14 minutes - 4 minutes after Soon Jin! hehe, not bad for someone who really did not train :P..and get this, we came out no 45 in the top 50 groups ranking in the group challenge (consist of 4 runners, and having their total time added up - I am still wondering how many groups were there in total!). No idea who our other 2 group members were but hope they are not like super mad with us for not running faster :p

Busy month of May

Enjoying a free concert at Botanical Gardens

We made a quick trip back to KL as I got Vesak day off as a public holiday. Celebrated CW's bday with some yummy banofee pie.

Took bean to her first Sentosa trip. She seemed to enjoy watching the waves.

Learning to whistle a happy tune :)

Sophie also attended her 1st bday party. It was neighbour Valentine's bday and she got to eat lots of baby biscuits :)



Over the last weekend, we arranged for a picnic gathering at BG since there was a concert going on. Anne and VB whom we have not seen since they visited sophie at the hospital when she first arrived, met us with their 2 super skinny dogs. vegetarian diet it seems :p

We ended the night stuffing ourselves at Donna Carmela's. So stuffed that we could not even touch dessert! Soph konked out right after her night feed..she must have been tired out by all the work she had to do this morning :)
