I don;t know why but now that all the aches and pain are gone, I feel like going for another 13 mile half marathon.
Is running addictive?
For those who are interested and I can;t imagine who can be, my 2 middle toes that was bruised from the half marathon is now dark purplish red in colour.
Is my toes turning black and drop off?
After a romantic Christmas holiday in Europe, this couple has now more love in the inventory. 2011 will be one filled with love, hugs, kisses and.....

We are Finishers!!!!
We went. We conquered! 13.1 miles around Quantico.
I am so proud of ourselves. Blacks finished just after 2 hours and even though I came in about 55 mins after him, I finished nonetheless!
Jogged, walked, stopped, jogged, walked. In whatever order you put it, we crossed the finishing line.
Now, as I sit comfortably on my couch with my feet in a foot massager. I look back and wonder whether the sense of achievement is worth the pain on my feet. Bad shoes. I have 2 middle toes with bruising underneath the nail which I am convince my nail is gonna drop off.
Of course its worth it! My baby said he is proud of me.

Autumn has arrive.
While we enjoy watching the change in weather, the leaves are starting to dry and go red. The humidity has gone down. We are also awe by the suddenly drop in temperature. I believe it was only last week that we had a sweltering 80-90 degree (30-35) weather with high humidity and no wind. Its Monday morning and I woke up in 48 degree (9) weather outside, the sun is suddenly a very welcoming source of warmth and our temperature in the house at 77 degree has also suddenly became a sigh of relieve when we step in.
I guess its time to bring all our winter clothes out from way back in the closet.
PS to Elin: Now I know why my bro-in-law loves his sweats....would really like to have some on now!
We wonder how are we going to survive in winter....Blacks probably can't because he's got school but I have this thought of digging a hole in the ground, line it up with fleece and blankets and hibernate for the remaining time here. If animals can do that, why not us?
But I also can't wait to have steamboat soon in this weather. Its just the absolute perfect environment for a hot steaming bowl of soup with everything in it. Will be just like the movies.
For now, its back to my already cold plate of fried rice and then huddle up in bed.
I shall head to the sauna later to keep warm. Hooray to the free gym!

I woke up this morning, cutting short the strangest dream.
I dreamt of my late English teacher, Miss Peh Yam Choo. She was walking and I was calling after her. After shouting several times of 'Miss Peh', I shouted her name 'Yam Choo'. Only then she turned around.
After catching up with her, she just smiled at me and said, 'I thought you were angry with me when you shouted my name. Now I just see that you are happy to see me.'
Then she hailed a cab and left.
Here becomes a bit ridiculous, because the scene changed and it was a malay food stall. This lady was just starting to cook something and this lady was Miss Peh. A short/stout Malay man came by and asked what I was doing at his stall. Then he told me about how he married Miss Peh and now her name was Ria. Also, that he married her cos he thought she was sweet and she liked chickened.
I turned to Miss Peh and asked is that the real reason for leaving her job as a teacher? She just smiled. Then after that, I followed up with a question on her career after she chose to leave, even after a coupla of headhunters wanted her, why she chose to just be married and sell malay food.
She smiled at me. Before she could answer my question, I woke up.

Spent the Saturday at DC with the Gohs and Willie again. This time we stop by Silver Springs to have dim sum and wow, it was as close to home as it could get. Though of cos, nothing compares to my dear mom-in-law's dim sum but it made me really happy.
Then under the sweltering heat (again), we proceeded to the Halocast Musuem. The exhibit area was huge and very well organise, starting from how Hilter rose to power and what actually happened. But after 2 sections, I felt too disturbed to continue and left to wait for the rest.
Really don't wanna talk too much about it because I don;t think anyone can understand what really happened unless you are really there. Im just disturb by how humans can do such a thing to humans. We are all the same arent we?
