Sometimes I wonder are too we blindly follow the 'laws' until everything also have to follow unnecessarily. Well, I was sending my first ever P*slaju parcel after donkey years last Saturday morning. The P*st office was empty, thus I walked straight to the counter. However, the officer asked me to get a queue no. first. I was puzzled, there were no patrons around, thus why do I need a queue no. I thought queue no. are supposed to help us managed queues so that everything is in an orderly manner when there more than 1 patron. Feeling slightly irritating, I continued to stand at the counter (while the officer look down and did her work), and I asked my kid to get a no. Once he clicked,  I just pass the stuffs over to the officer before my kid passed me the ticket. The officer also didn't bother to verify the ticket and we just put it aside. Sigh ... I remember whenever I was at  TMTouch shops, the friendly officers just called me to the counter whenever it's empty.

OK, that's all about my rantings last Saturday morning, meanwhile it was a great Sunday after-all as Liverpool lost (opps.. no football talk here... hehehe) and we had a good time with our lunch. We were back at Lavender Bistro after a while. I simply miss my sandwiches and my little princess has also forgot about her strawberry shortcake which she alway ordered back then.

Mushroom soup for my kids

My kids also ordered a carbonara pasta, seems very wet.

A mushroom fried rice for my wifey

And, I had my favourite cheddar and ham ciabatta. 

And, not forgetting my Americano. :)

After lunch, we walked nearby to Baskin Robbins for some ice-cream. My little princess, who ordered a wrong ice-cream, took my sherbet orange instead while I gotta finished her 'cough medicine' like strawberry ice-cream. *shake head*

Enjoying 'my' sherbet orange.
Have a good week!

I thought of trying to run in the morning in preparation for my quarter marathon as I usually ran in the evening. I am not really a morning person as I woke up later than most of the working class since I am doing tele-working, where I can worked anywhere if there are no meetings in the office. 

Anyway,  I'm glad I managed to wake up at 7am to practise my run for a long while in the morning, despite only slept for 5 hours plus. It was nice running in the cool and fresh air and I saw a lot of folks rushing for work and waiting for their buses. While running, I make a mistake in my route where I ran to the top of a small 'hill' park, which was three storeys high. Imagine I was huffing and puffing after reaching the top! Phew... I was glad I still managed to continue running for  a few rounds at the top of the park, which has a circle running track, before 'descending' down to my actual route and voila... I managed to do 6km at one go. That was around 42 mins. hahaha... I felt so good after the run though I needed isotonic drink after that and got sunburnt a bit. 

Later, I rewarded myself with a yummy Chicken Ciabatta with fries when back to JB at Lavender Bistro. I always love their sandwiches, affordable and delicious!

A cute Ginger-bread greeting you at Lavender Bistro
The marathon will be held in Dec 7, which is less than 2 weeks time and I have stepped up my training. Though I am not participating in a full marathon, it's still exciting to be running my first ever major marathon event. Oh yeah, this is the Standard Chartered Marathon. I am looking forward to a finisher medal and t-shirt. :)
