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...

celebrate

have a good rest

I wish the very best for all my readers and enjoy your holidays.
Continue to support my kopi-korner.

i did it!!!!


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

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

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.

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!
