kanjiong spider

nearly suffered from an anxiety attack today. couldn't decide on the no. of days we want for our trip and which hotel to stay in. and juz b4 lunch time, i realised the flight which we wanted have no more vacancy for 3!! gosh...my heart was thmuping. throughout the entire lunch, my mind was thinking about the plane tix. actually, i was thinking of it all the time during work today.

at 5.30, used my client's comp to book the tix. juz when i thought everything is going smoothly, we realised we dun have our passport expiry date wif us. so have to wait till we get home. and when i was almost done wif tiger, the comp hang when i wanted to print!! help!! alas....

nonetheless...


ta-da..hahaha..still managed to book everything eventually. couldn't wait to get home asap when i was on the bus so that i can hurry come back and book the departing flight as well as print tiger's confirmation.

finally everything is done..now i can RIP.

holiday on the rocks

plans have been changed from bangkok to phuket. fickle, fickle..hope we can get the tix we want and a decent hotel over my head for the 4 days 3 nitez. *fingers crossed*

seems that i'm on my way to the stan chart 10km run! coy is sponsoring us and my colleagues had juz help me to sign. haha..too late to back out now. but after attending the body combat class for today, my morale is higher and i'm feeling optimistic about the race. definitely more motivated to train now. dun wnat to disappoint myself esp when i have to drop out halfway and puke. i want the race to be like AHM, where even i myself am surprised by my own run. no panting and no thoughts of quitting. clocked a rather good timing and i felt good about the run. can it happen again? Yes, if i start training..

wide awake

had a munich lagar and watched the liverpool match wif jean over at paulaner brauhaus. gosh, wat's 2 girls doing there drinking beer? poor jean, i was the one who came up wif the idea coz i wanted to watch the match. haha..had this feeling they r gonna win. boohoo..the match only came alive like the last 20 mins??!?!?!? thought that 3 points were safe in the pocket but alas, the own goal.
well, the idea of chilling out there wasn't that bad as we realised they have live singing every mon to sat from 9.30. the crowd is not that rowdy and the ambience is not too bad. did i mention that the wedges was good? we had a basket of it and it was too much for the both of us. damn! there goes the work out for today..

speaking about that..soemthing really disturbing happened over at the gym, or rather the pool. poor jean (again!), she has to witness it while i was spinning away. fortunately, the management is taking action against that sicko.

the combat class wasn't as good as i expected it to be. or perhaps it's because i couldn't follow some of the steps..somehow, i feel the male instructors r better. the level of energy and tempo is higher and it makes me feel i really did work. well, tried all 4 outlets and i kinda prefer paragon and george street. but i like oub's outdoor pool!! sigh..i miss the sun..

spinning..

plans for body combat backfired as the class was jzu too full. was kinda disappointed. thankfully, jean spotted the spinning clas schedule and we dashed in for out very first lesson!! woohoo~~~ sme nice babe by the name of jo helped us wif the bike and the adjustments of seats. she looks cool too! but not as cool as the 'dude' beside me who was furiously spinning away rite from the start of the class. in case u dunno, the 'dude' was not really a dude. she's a woman wif scary speed and strength, hence, equivalent to that of a dude. the only guy in our class dropped out after 20 mins. so u ppl out there ought to applaude me and jean for staying till the end of 45 mins. gonna have a toned butt and thighs after a month!! persevere!!

new posting

thought i could slack in office for the rest of the week since my manager has no posting to me. even planned to go for a swim at fitness first outet at OUB centre and try out the abt class. howeveer, without any warning, my manager told me i'll be going out now wif another team, to audit a firm in kaki bukit! haha..well, it still beats staying in office doing nothing. actually, i prefer to be out on job then stay in office. unless i have something to do, if not i'll feel terribly lost and disoriented. like yesterday, becoz there was simply nothing much to do, i was posted to the marketing department for half a day. ended up doing research on some fine dining places and spending 1 hour arranging name tags and forms. hmm, look on the bright side. at least these jobs dun require me to use my brains.

gonna stay for a week at this new client but another fellow a1 who's attached to the job hopes i'll stay longer since the team is really small. only the 2 of us and a sup. guess there'll be more things to learn coz lesser ppl means i'll get to try out more and different sections.

the fact that im away from office actually creates an inertia for me to go to the gym. sigh...it's really inaccessible to get to a mrt station from the place. unless i catch the office bus out to eunos mrt. seems like i have to leave the work out sessions to the weekends. willl try thurs, hopefully can leave early. need to start running soon. stan chart 10km here i come!!

satisfied =)

this week has been really great except for the bad flu and sore throat which i suffered from eating too much 'ma ti su' and 'dou sa bing'. thankfully it didn't affect my run. felt strong during the run and never did i expect myself to complete 6.9km so smoothly. when i realised that the actual distance for the race was supposed to be 6.9km instead of 6, my legs were feeling a bit jelly. phew. probably all the runnings on the threadmill and group exercise classes gave me good preparation for the run. now i think i'm ready to take on the standard chartered 10km run in dec!

dear was very pleased that i completed the run. didn't clock a very good timing though. when we reached the finishing line, my watch showed a timing of 1 hr and 1 min. but we waited for some frenz to catch up wif us at marina promenade. think we waited for around 10mins. so actual time of completing should be around 50 mins. heh. dear was very proud of me. he said this run will be a milestone for me. i think so too. he said if i'm ready, he will go for the 21km AMH wif me next year!!

besides the run, i'm enjoying my gym sessions at fitness first. visited the outlet at 1 george street on tue and attended the body balance class. it's not bad but had problem getting the moves right. they have a pool there too. they even provided tshirt and shorts coz it's a fitness plus outlet which means they provide some more services compared to the one at paragon.

thurs went back to the paragon outlet and tried out the body combat class. it rocks!! hahaha...think for the time being, i'll stick to these 2 classes b4 progressing to the rest. gx intro class which i attended on sat was very useful. it gave us a intro to some of the common moves in body combat, balance and pump.

will defnitely be going to the club regularly. hope work will not be too busy.

anyway, anyone interested to run the standard chartered 10km??

1st session at fitness first

before i start, let me curse first. damn it. why is my internet explorer in chinese?? even blogger is in chinese and i hate to read those words.

anyway, gym was fun!! hahaha. went for the body jam class instead coz we were 5 mins late for the body balance class. too pai seh to work in halfway so me and nz decided to work wif the equipment first.

ran 15 mins on the threadmill and i'm already panting. how to run 6 km next sun?? =( though the body jam class was an intro, we couldn't follow at all. the both of us really sux at it while the rest were rocking adn sashaying to the beat. think they were regulars for the class. nz had sweared never to go for any of those dance classes. i thought they were kinda fun juz that we need more practise.

gonna head down to the outlet at 1 george street on tue for the pilates class. hope i'll enjoy it more!

and..i juz bought myself another pair of heels! opps! haha..open toes kind. my feet needs to breathe man.
