Random Notes#8/2014 ....

1.  I thought running a 10KM marathon last Sunday and working out regularly makes me an Iron Man. I was wrong as nature dealt me a gentle blow where I was down with a mild flu over the weekend. Anyway, feeling better now and managed to ran a short 3KM on a beautiful and breezy Sunday evening.

2.  I was asked to act in a skit by my Christian boss in my company's Christmas gathering... alamak... I am a shy guy and can't even act. but now I am asked to be a shepherd in a Christmas story where I need to utter a few lines. Oh no ... :P

3. On running, like those avid runners, I thought of planning my runs for 2015. I was not certain if I can do a half-marathon in the short period of time like March or April but my colleague seems all set to go for half or full marathon. Aiyo... why so ambitious ? It's ok...I guess I go for some 10KM runs before I go for the half-marathon. hahha.... Probably, I plan for the first 6 months and decide on the other 6 months. hahaha... I am talking like a runner now. :D

4. Vacation has started and I will blogged about the places I went when I am back. Except KL where my kids wanted to visit Kidzania, we will adopt a wait and see attitude on where to go after that. Anyway, definitely will be driving to somewhere after KL. Somehow, I was always in the city every Xmas except last year.

5. Woke up early on last Sunday morning to attend church services at 8am after I skipped last week's services. I am glad to be back as well as seeing my Pastor, who was away too for his leaves. The Sunday service served as a backup service for me if I was unable to attend the main Saturday service. Anyway, there will be no more Sunday morning services in 2015 and I have to attend another church if I missed the Saturday's service. On the other hand, I think it's good they scrap the Sunday service since attendance is very low.

Meanwhile, had a ginger onion fried beef with rice on a cold Saturday night, with hot soup. What a relieve for my mild flu.:)


Have a good week!

  1. Oh dear! Down with flu? No spring chicken, anymore....wor!!!! Come to think of it, you do get sick very frequently. Must be poor eating habits - if flu's due to heatiness, should not eat stuff with ginger, soup or whatever. Go for cooling stuff, eat porridge.

  2. Mild flu? It's the flu+sick season here.. Everyone's down with flu and sore throat and mild fever, haizzzz.. I guess the next post is about the places you went (and food you ate) with your family during your long leave?

  10. Luckily you are recovering.

    You can do it. Just act naturally.

    Good luck in your running.

    Yum yum. I love your food but I would like it more with chicken or pork.

  11. Chris... don't combine the 10K with a marathon. A marathon in itself is 42.195km. ;)

    Anyway, do what you feel is for you not because what everyone else is doing. Otherwise, you might not enjoy running in the long term. Everyone has their own pace.

    But if you're going to compete with your friends, make sure you have enough training!

  15. Eek, you're down with a flu? Take care and wishing you a speedy recovery, Chris. Kidzania, you say? Well, if you're there during Friday or Saturday morning, we could exchange greetings in person. *winks*

    As for #2, just treat the audience as invisible ants and don't allow the nervousness to take over you.

  19. Nice! You really do run a lot, that's good, it provides you with good exercise and endorphins to boot!

    I've always wanted to run myself but have 1,001 excuses coz I'm too lazy to. Haha. I'll pick it up someday though, I'll also like to run a full marathon and I know it's not easy. I have an uncle that does crazy uber marathons, 100 km or something insane like that in the middle of the Sahara desert, can't imagine doing that but it sounds fun.

    I just don't think I'm ready for that when I doubt I can finish a 10 km. Haha. I'll put it on my list for New Year - to do for this year.
