so what's next for 2010

i'm feeling so mixed up like my box of cherry+strawberry+orange. Usual for the past blogging years, i've not made any christmas wish list. Hahaha.

2009 has been a mellow year for me. (can't think of what to type as for now, due to my hunger pangs. I can't think when I'm hungry. Shall update soon)

As for now, here's my simple year-end greetings to all...

I wish the very best for all my readers and enjoy your holidays.

Continue to support my kopi-korner.

...the new immortal?

what shall i say... got an sms from an unknown female.

however, it made it sounds like i'm immortal. cool. :D

Thank you all for your support on facebook!!!

Few days ago was the early bird discount. I hop onto someone else's promo discount code and got the registration fees cheaper. Used my student CC to pay for it 1st, next month then bother about how to deal with it. :X

Ah Sam got owned by Windows...

yEs YeS yes YES!!!!!

my 1st marathon!!!! so happy that i made it thru and made good use of Team fatbird pacers.

Followed the two 6-hour pacer shu shus and did it within 6hours. Hahaha. Kinda long and >.<-ing from knee pain... felt like it gonna come out from the socket. OMG!

My friends who have been constant in my life would know that i have been training, running at least 3times a week for this race.... But since late Oct through Nov, i have not been running due to school project and the school field trip to China.*sigh* My body needs to be constantly trained to keep up. I've tried 1 week without running and when i start again, i feel very horrible and weak... :S

Oh well. I feel very happy that i've completed. Better than don't complete right?

Ok. here's my slow result.

5:59 ..... Kinda amusing to me.

Since December is drawing near, I've did up my new year resolution ALREADY. One in fact.

Addidas Sundown 2010

I've been thick skin asking around for sponsors. I couldn't be asking around without making effort right? So i am aiming to cut my timing by 30mins to 1hour. It is a mammoth task for me cuz i have short legs. :D Plus the last 2 months to race day will be project crunch time.

Here's the list of generous supporting buddies:

1. Nelson, whom i'm proud that he completed 42km by walking : 20cents

2. Eugene, thanks for the 1st 21km pacing with Ming Zhi: 35 buckaroos

3. My beautiful Yi-Ling: 20cents

4. Steven, Bird shooter(photography) Man: 5 cents

5. Shazi, My toilet buddy back in China: 1 buck

6. Jamie, who always reminds me of candy canes and lollipops : 5 bucks of cheers

7. Brian : 2 good bucks

Hopefully the list goes on. $26.55 more to go. :D

Punt intented!!!

I'm still stuck in china. Quite enjoyed the trip after i gotten well from the diarrhea. Now i'm blogging through flickr. China blocked facebook, twitter and blogger. Gzzzz.....

Now is time to rush out the last report. I wanna enjoy Shanghai!!!!! >.<

Warm and wet wet cold cold cold

Been raining for the past 30hours....

i hope the weather is good like this to queue for xiao long bao....

MIC.....

i'm now in the land where almost anything in your desk/room/house is made in.

its cold.....

But everything is done in bulk, mass, large, huge, smLxL....



N when it gets to hosting foreigners.. i feel they do a pretty good job.

restroom at Shanghai World Financial Center. Bidet with thermal control, warmed toilet seat. Super duper freaky clean toilet.

Keep me warm...

MINUS........ 4degrees!

Tea Par teeee!!!!

Wanted to take a picture of what i got from the supermarket. But i juz realised i lend my fone to my classmate as her alarm. :S Pictures will be later then.

Rushed down to Art Friend to get supplies for final model. Tough luck, main branch ran out of the thinnest Midwest Basswood sheet. So i went home in the drizzle to drop my dirty clothes n pack fresh ones. Room sweet room. I miss its cosiness despite the mess.

After having a pleasant surprise back at home (:x), i made my way down to Taka Art Friend like there's a 70% sale at Zara(ya right in a million years).

I took the WHOLE stack of what i see on the shelve. Only 11pieces of 0.15mm left. Found a few other wood size that i need and made my way to the slow cashier.

The bill come up to $100.15. Nice number.

Off to the supermarket and strangely, i don't feel the hunger. Must be the wonder of hashbrown at noon.

Got a mega loaf of bread, nutella and fav orange marmalade. Was staring hard at the range of tea. I love tea but the shrinking bank account drove me to pick Dilmah Variety pack.

x'MAS ligHts on its way up...

miss strolling down orchard road at night.... i need a good STROLL...(ya...that's how busy i am)

Ceylon Supreme, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, English Afternoon, Darjeeling. Welcome to my tea party.

weird people and bots

We all know msn there are bots asking u to click here "i got ur fotos" or acai berry sliming pills.

Some worse bots are "hi, wanna webcam.." what ever crap... and led to some kinky stuff that might land your laptop/pc into a whirlpool of virus/trojan sh1t.

Somehow this fella from china added me on msn quite some time ago... keep asking "do you speak chinese" and when i ask him where he get my msn from, he doesn't answer and divert the topic. I got abit irritated cuz why would i talk to people who act so mysterious... this fella's email is spawn all over google so u can do abit of CSI on him. Some artist from china...and i don't give a freaking care.

So today, he pinged again. In the cheeky mood, i keyed in 4 alphabets and press the block button. :D

...black and white....

... moments ago it seems unbelievable....

Kiss by the Hotel de Ville

Robert Doisneau, 1950

:D:D:D

another 10km race...

Is back from Nike+Human race...

it was a sea of red....

...alot of zig zagging, avoiding people and breathing through the mouth cuz everyone is stinking up.

They walked so i walked...last km i decided to press on....

*photo courtesy of seksi-legs AKM...

.....did it in a disappointing 1:04'58''.... :(

another Woooow!

the results are out... amazingly i had...

Nett Timing: 01:07:15

I walked pretty much of the last part cuz earlier part of the race some person at the front is clogging up the "line" which broke my pace and wasted energy walk n stop n run n walk n stop n run n walk....

Nonetheless i enjoyed the race and the motivators are amazing! The baggage handlers are not giving 'sian' face too. Big salute to them.

*Hormat kEhadapan hormat*

wAh..!!!! Scared to go toilet riao....

.... spent like dunno how many hours sitting on toilet bowl, read papers and let the watever sh1t burst and ooze out.

Sorry to those who juz ate and read the above sentence. :p

Triple update photos spam spam spam!

Although i'm not eng eng cheng cheng, i am now working very hard to satisfy your bored eyes with more photos!!!

I upgraded my mio home plan bout 2 weeks ago and got a new SE W705 to replace my chunky Motorola Q9h. Q9h was an excellent phone with its ergonomic buttons that anyone can type an essay on the phone in a breeze. Why i choose to part with it is that:

1. i had gotten so fat that it can't go into my pocket

2. The last button 'P' got problem and so does the space bar.

3. The camera is cannot make it!!!!!

So here's my photo spam of what i've taken so far with this new lovely fone. SE muz pay me for promoting their fone la! :mad: Only thing bad about this phone that the focus is fixed! Sorry for the blurness in pics. Enjoy!

Ok. starting from my bday dinner with Pamela. Pam is in my studio this semester and her bday is juz 1 day b4 mine! So we decided to have dinner together(n our guest got something on-left e 2 of us).

I ordered hamburger steak and fried chicken with special sauce as side dish.

After dinner, went for a mini workout to HMV and That CD shop @ Pacific Plaza.

Reaching that CD shop, they r playing Michael Bolton's song. His voice so soothing.... *melt*
