When I am "On leave..."

Still having insomnia… 5th day liao… haiz…

Since “on leave”, I packed my bag, loaded with Newspaper, book borrowed from Ellen (Title: Undress for success – the Naked Truth About Making Money at Home), Lappy WangWang.

Undress for Success!

1st stop: Hearty BF at Market!

Includes:

Nasi Lemak + Half Boiled Eggs +

Toast Bread + Teh

After I "cleaned" the plates!

Sat with this uncle… he smiled at me when I sat down… but when I returned with my food… he asked me…or rather he told me:
“Girl, you really can eat hor! I have NEVER seen a girl eat so much! & you are not FAT!”

“Oh… this is nothing!” (in my most nonchalant tone)

“What do you do to burn all the food?!”

“Oh well…. I’m just started to train for Half Marathon & triathlon…but just started only lah!”

“So are you going for the race this weekend?”

"Nope, but I m going for my 1st Standard Chartereed half Marathon this Dec!"

This Uncle is the modern n fit fit kind! I later learnt that he visits the Tampines Sports Complex Gym every 1, 3, 5 (Mon, Wed, Fri).. plus he is very aware of the races happening as he could tell me the race details, dates, distances etc…. Cool! We ended up chatting abt Sports & Diet.

Headed for TP Pool thereafter… still having problem loading the Video Clip I did…. Argh!
Anyhow, met Chris to go Chinese Sinseh opp TP – Strained neck…OUCH! Hopeful she will recover soon enough for the River Regatta Time Trial! Go Girl!
Ended up fixing the video loading problem at her place… tried various combination.
Problems could be:
1) Video Clip suitability for Youtube.com
2) Wireless connection

After various tries… concluded that it’s the wireless connection that is intermittent….argh! M1 Mobile Broadband 2mbps sucks BIG TIME!! Gona try to cancel the plan WITHOUT suffering any penalty! Will try to call the Customer Service hotline later….

Anyway, bought an Anti Glare (Matt finish) screen protector for my WangWang…. Thanks Chris for being such a dearie to come all from Pasir Ris to my place to help me fix it! By now, she has “suffered” the “Geeky-Soya-at-Work” syndrome for the past 10hrs45mins…. OMG!

Poor Chris... Pity her leh... waited so long for me..Paiseh leh Chris dearie!

I told Chris that it used to be that my ex-es complained that with me, it's the other way round... Instead of their gfs waiting & complaining that they spend too much time in front of the computer, I m the Geeky one who made them wait or became totally oblivious to their presence; when I am buried in some IT resolution... I have always replied: "That's cos I am very special Baby!!" =P

Took photos along the way while cycling yest & did a mini clip for Ellen... rough work & having so much problem loading it on youtube! Argh! Tried till I almost give up! I suspect it's due to the intermittent wireless mobile broadband transmission... help!! took me 1.5 days to load it! Somehow finally managed to! PHew!

Esp For you, Ellen...

Received a wonderful gift from Ellen last nite! Cool! It’s a Book on training : “Run for Your Life” by Dr.Benedict Tan (Ex-national Sailor). According to Ellen, it’s so inspiring that she must buy it for me, for X’mas but decided to give it to me early cos of the SCB race coming up in Dec & the lotsa Sports related Question I always ask her! She said all the answers to my questions are inside this book! WOW! Thanks Pal! I will treasure it!

Oh oh! It is even autographed by Dr.Ben himself! Way too Cool!

It’s kinda telepathy, cos I made the video clip for her to thank her for inspiring me to run & she bot me this book to inspire me to run! Totally Awesome! COOL!
