Havent really have a very Nuaz weekend & so today decided to Nuaz at Bro Xiong's place!
I think Xiong really
人缘好, cos alot of friends came by to visit his family, esp learning the plight of precious Prince Gabrian... latest update abt his heart is that there are 2 holes... 1 small & 1 big. Looking at the reports, the small 1 probably can heal by itself when he grows (with oral medication), but the bigger hole may most likely need surgery.. . haiz.
Anyway, not that I
"老王卖瓜, 自卖自夸", but my bro Xiong is really a Good man...
I am naturally stingy with compliments (though I have improved lotz over the years!), but with him - other than abit MCP, he is everything a woman would want for a partner!
Something Simple, he actually bothers to buy some cookbooks for "confinement food", so he can cook the recipes for my sis-in-law! He also put in alot of effort to teach his domestic helper how to prepare those food - all in the gd heart of nursing my sis-in-law's health! So sweet hor!
I always joking tell him that he has
"Big shoe size", the man in my life will have
"Big Shoes to fill" as he had set the standard very high & "spoilt market"! Wuahah!

Met up with Jane (+2 babies Phoebe n Issac), Kim, Kat n Meimei at sengkang in the evening, went kite flying... more like Picnic actually cos it was dark already & we had MacDonald's n MosBurgers on the mat! Niceeee.... Jane's babies so cute n sweet lah! =D
It was nice to catch up since Jane now resides in Aus n only return like once a year or mayb twice! =D
Though Mei, Kat n Kim are in Singapore, we also seldom meet up liao... so it was a rare chance that everyone made the effort to meet up! =D

Sunday 18Jan09
Starry came to stay over last nite so that we could wake up early to do some exercise!
She cycled 4km today! I cycled "Forest" to BR and met her there while she took the bus & then I jogged & she cycled! Except for a lousy "near knock" incident, she managed well & I declare her Cycle-Fit! Kekeke! So proud of her!
Next time can bring Starry go ECP with the gang! She can cycle with Meishan (she most likely Blade) while me n Ellen can do our jogs! Sui n Wendy can wait for use at the Finishing point with Sugar Cane drinks! Wuahaha!
----
I did my 10km - not keeping pace for the 7mins/km as instructed by Coach Alex.... still find it abit too slow... haiz... Proud to still be able to do my 10km in 1:01:30 =D Yay! At least my speed still there! Wuahah! Now it's slowly building the distance!
Till SUNDOWN there are abt 19weeks left - let's count it as 18 weeks.... my base training shd be abt 10km & milege training to start at 15km, shd be no problem bah?! If I were to increase my long run distance by 10mins (approx 1.4km based on 7min/km pacing) every week, then in 18 weeks I will be able to run a total of....
15km + (18 X 1.4km)
= 15km + 25.2km
= 40.2km...
Hmmm.... Coach Ellen (& Dr.Benedict Tan book) says that to run up or prepared till 35km is enough for Full marathon liao - anything more, will be damaging... so I shd be in gd time...
All these is say only lah!
If I were to do 7min/km thruout - 7mins/km X 42.2km = 4.923hrs or 4hrs56mins... how can be!!! My target is to complete in 5hrs30min in 1 PIECE (yes, AIM is not to fall apart at the FINISH pt & still can go shopping after run)!
-----
Went to meet Sui and Ellen for lunch at Suntec... funny we alwis end up at Cafe il Lido!?! & Eat like there's no tmr!
Our food.... but....
There's more!!
Cos too much dishes cant fit into
1 photograph! Wuahaha!
Glutton us!
-------
After a full tummy, Coach Ellen quickly usher us to leave the place for our part 2! Bishan Swimming complex! Wuahah! Extra training after makaning! Feeling less guilty immediately!
I absentmindedly forgotten my goggles n swim cap! Argh! Swam without it!
1st time I lose 1 side of my contact lense while swimming, mainly cos I rubba too hard before I entered the pool & it was already dislodged in that side of the eye! Damn!
Was a gd swim.... we stayed at Ellen's "training grounds" , which is the training pool and swam the breadth (abt 21m). We did 2 X Br Fist Swim and 2 X Br Finger Dragging Swim as warm up. Then did a 4 (fastest),6 (Fast),8 (Slowly than Fast) Set, ended with a 30 X Br stroking swim. All the swimming without goggles made my eyes red & tired... came home ard 5pm feeling damn sleepyeyed and slept till 8pm! Wuahah!

Btw,
Saw this book at Popular,
feel like buying but $$$exp lah!
*Though I got membership card but still quite exp...
mayb i can borrow from the library,
Mus wait for a couple of years before it will be available,
+ must chope! Cos ChickenSoul is Supa Popular amongst teenagers...
Ok, mayb cats book not so popular, will try my luck!
Bookworm Soya Strikes again!
1 thing for sure I learn from my Cats...
Patience.... even Starry agrees with me lah! She said I am more patient now compared to last time, even with friends! I told her that
Patience has been my new year resolutions for years man! But heck New Year resolutions, no 1 ever keeps them... for more than 2 wks of the whole year! Usually the 1st week of the New year & the last week of the same year (feeling guilty cos the year is ending mah!)
Anyway, after Kona's lessons ended, I have been trying to teach Creamie n Nugget the command to
"shake hand". Creamie is NOT AT ALL enticed by treats, she really got 有骨气 (Got backbone) lah! She will rather NOT EAT the treat then to be Submissive like a ..... PUSSY (though she is 1 REALLi)!
Anyway, her learning style has always been
"Mummy, I know everything ok! But I just 不爽 do when u ask me to do! Dun think I am stupid - I am the Most clever k! So she will only do when she
爽! Kekek! So 有性格 like Mummy lah! Wuahahah!
Nugget finally made the cut! =D He's too much a glutton for treats! Wuahah! Even then, it took me like 2 days over many sessions a day to teach him!
