8.7.15

After the highs of finishing my first half-marathon last Sunday, life's seems back to normal especially when the working week started. It's still seems very surreal to me as I never thought I will go for a half-marathon as well as finishing it. With the Standard Chartered Marathon opening for registration soon, (love their running tee design) I wanted to participate in it for another HM and also thinking of improving my timing and run this time round. Thus, I went to search for training plans which can accommodate my schedule and I saw some 3-days a week programs. Another way is to join some running clubs or folks or attend a clinic. Anyway, I am lacking running mates as most of my friends who ran with me are not interested in joining events, and I don't like to go alone as it can be lonely. That's my objective now - to search for training programs and running kakis... :) Of course, need to train better too!

I didn't go back to JB last weekend due to the HM and I do miss home. Will be taking a day off on Friday to spend more time with my family, since Friday is weekend in JB. I still remember what we had two weeks ago at Anmour Cafe in Permas Jaya.


Seafood Spaghetti for my kid

Fish and Chips for my little princess who shared with my wife

Lamp Chop for me

Ice cream and brownie for my kids to share

Have a good mid-week! :)

1. I was at Orchard Road to settle some work duties and once I reached there , I immediately felt the Xmas mood! Too bad I didn't have the time to get out of the building to walk around the street in order to check out the decor. However, the decor at Orchard Central and Orchard Gateway malls are attractive! I will check out the lights and decors at Orchard Road soon!

Another one at Orchard Central too, which is besides Orchard Gateway
2. Somehow I felt a bit anxious about a potential vacation in a nearby country and kept asking my wifey if her sister has already booked it for us in JB, and I got an earful from my wifey... hahaha...  Too bad, she's in Singapore and I probably gotta wait for the weekend to confirm the trip. My SIL is a well-travelled lady and she's got a lot of 'lobangs' (contacts). If else, my plan B would be in Malaysia, probably go back to Ipoh and bring my parents to Cameron Highlands for a 3 day 2 nights stay or Pangkor Island. It's been a while since I have been there.

3. I have been  training for my 10km Standard Chartered Quarter-marathon lately after my weights workout. It will be held in 2 weeks time. My training is simple, I just continue to run 5KM as usual daily but may  increase slightly to 6km if possible. I will try to run in the morning from now onwards in order to get use to the morning marathon and that will be a challenge to me as I am not a morning person. Waking up at 6am or even 7am can be tough, thanks to my teleworking where I am not required to be in office all the time.

With all these trainings, I think there's no harm to reward myself with a Shokado Wazen Bento, which is my favourite and affordable bento at S$15.90. :) I think it's ok la...once in a blue moon ... :P


And, weekend is here with the school holidays! Have a good weekend!!
