1. Not a good day for me yesterday as I dropped my key poach in the bus. It only contains some coins which I don't mind losing but without the keys, it was very inconvenient. I checked with the 'lost and found' section of the bus interchange but they didn't collect any key poach, except other keys. Then, after a badminton session in town at night, I waited almost for an hour for cabs in Little India and really got furious as all the cabs reluctant to take me citing they were going for dinner. These were lies as they preferred to fetch customers nearby in order to earn more. I thought of filing complaints against these errant cabs as they cannot choose their destinations. I ended up taking a bus home.
2. The CNY holidays are around the corner and today is the last day of work for me before I go for a week break to balik kampung. I am looking forward to the break but then, it has been a tough week and I guess I may have to bring my notebook home to work. Work is really piling up!! Anyway, glad it's weekend and I can wind down a bit.
3. Been consistently running especially in the morning. Woke up around 7am and did various distance of runs in 5KM, 6.5KM, 8KM and 10KM runs at different routes. I am actually trying to train for a half marathon and go for it in the second half of the year and it seems very tough, though I managed to complete 10KM. I will see how it goes but for sure, running really requires discipline. hahha... Good thing is I have clocked almost 30KM weekly nowadays, which is my best so far.
4. I am back for badminton and am in my company's team for the annual Public Service tournament. Anyway, this year I will be playing as a reserve since I am not match fit after a layoff from my injury. Had a good warm up session with the folks yesterday before the first match, which we narrowly lost 1-2. This is the yearly badminton tournament I participated and it was fun!
5. Since it was cooling and breezy in the south lately, my family and I decided to have steamboat for dinner. It was quite comforting with hot soup and ingredients in the cool evenings.

Yummmmmz, I love steamboat.. Look at all those liew, delicious! I also want !!
ReplyDeletePrincess - hahahah... You seems to like all my food. :)
DeleteAiyoh... key pouch lost. That is so inconvenient, right?
ReplyDeleteAll the best for your HM training.
lina - sigh ... so so inconvenient! Check with bus company lost and found and they didn't get it. I wonder why those fellas can't even let go a key poach. Probably they thought there are gold bars inside ....
DeleteThanks for the wishes , Lina.
Oooo...I love steamboat. Not having any for CNY though, will usually have that for Chap Goh Meh.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your keys. I hope you've managed to get duplicates. Real troublesome. If house or car keys, better change the locks...safer. Going back to Ipoh? Safe journey.
STP - Yup, got all the duplicates done. Episode over! Time to enjoy the holidays now! :)
Deleteoh, so unlucky of you that day huh?? nvm mind, lost your key pouch and you can have a reason to get a new one.. CNY mah, then get a new one lor.. BTW, i thought taxis in SG are not allowed to reject customer's destination??
ReplyDeleteSK - Yes, they are not supposed to reject , that's why I feel like complaining! The excuse they gave were all the same.. they are going for their dinner breaks!
Deletehehehe.. nvm lah, just bring our laptop together with you.. i guess doing your work at home without interruption is even more efficient huh??
ReplyDeleteSK - Yup, I will be doing that. Might check my emails during the holidays when I am free. Better than loaded with an avalanche of emails later.
Deletewow, good good!! you have been keeping it well and accomplished 30km this week.. i wonder if you will still be running when you are back in your hometown for CNY??
ReplyDeleteSK - No la... the environment not conducive for running unless I go to the nearby parks but it's festive season. Rest la...
Deleteas the team's reserve player?? not bad also lah, at least you are still participating mah, and i guess that sheds the tension off your shoulder huh?? you just watch the match like any other people else :p
ReplyDeleteSK - They wanted me to play in the second game but I may not make it. See how lor
Deletefuyoh steamboat!!! i think i only have steamboat once in a year.. because we always have steamboat for CNY reunion dinner.. and then you know we always prepare extra, so for the next couple of days, everyday also steamboat the clear the stock.. that explains why i only would have steamboat once a year, muahahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteSK - hahah... besides Japanese food, my place also got lots of steamboats eateries!
DeleteI understand when you lost keys. Really inconvenient.
ReplyDeleteHappy holiday to you. I am sure you cannot wait to go back to your family for the cny.
Steamboat is great on cold evening. I like it.
Rose - yeah, nice to have it on a cold night.
DeleteVery susah to lose your keys! I am sure you got that sorted out. I thought Singapore is very strict and the cab drivers cannot simply refuse customers? Anyway looks like you had a very good steamboat meal with your family. Love all the ingredients!
ReplyDeletePhong - Really susah but over la.
Deleteyeah, they not supposed to reject which makes my blood pressure boiling.
Did u called again to see if they found your keys?
ReplyDeleteSharon - Called and went to the interchange in the evening. Nope, they didn't find it.
DeleteEnjoy your holiday back in your hometown ya... Advanced Happy Lunar New Year to you and your family ya...
ReplyDeleteSharon - Thanks, you too! have a good time with the chingay!
DeleteThe ingredients for the steamboat makes me drooling, hehe...
ReplyDeleteSharon - hahaha... go and have one!
DeleteIndeed it was cool and breezy recently with the wind blowing, I used to play badminton last time, I hope to go to gym more this year to exercise as exercise is good for health
ReplyDeleteLibby - Do some jogging ... it's nice to jog nowadays!
DeleteHave a safe trip back to your hometown ya!! =]
ReplyDeleteXiao Ying - thanks!!
DeleteYou should've lodged a complaint; it'll definitely help to keep those cabbies in check. I mean, the drivers shouldn't pick and choose the passengers. =/
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip home, Chris!
Ciana - Really wanted to do that but I have lots of stuffs to do too!
DeleteIts the season of makan! Forget about the unfortunate events and look forward to the good ones!
ReplyDeleteKen - yeah. and will check out your program! :)
DeleteI also cannot wait for CNY! Though I know not much I can do this year, but at least my hubby is off for days, and my brother will be back from Singapore, it means the house will be merrier!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of badminton, it's been so long since I last played!!
DeleteHayley - ahahaha... play after you give birth. I am sure you can play like siao then. :)
DeleteHave a great time during CNY!
