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?

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.

不知道为什么每当我在国外的时候,我都非常喜欢听华语歌曲。开车, 玩电脑,运动时,都会喜欢听到刘德华,陈奕迅, 张学友 或 郑秀文, 郑伊健和周杰伦唱他们的歌给我听。给我一种情切得感觉。

我想在这里答谢我的大姐。她真得太了解我了,送了三包块熟面和一包koala牌的巧克力饼干给我。不用说,我和小黑在三十六个钟头以内把全部都吃光了。虽然现在有一点后悔没把它们留起来, 可是我们真的吃道很开心。好像回到家。

现在正在听着周杰伦的菊花台

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?
