The Return of MM..

Nope..not the MM for my area..but..

My Melody! Remember exactly 6 years ago..



Stay tuned..

SJH? SHM?

Was having a long-overdue lunch with my dear pal Wei when she suddenly 'complained' to me 'how come i am just 'wei' on your blog huh..& not some cool nick like 0.5(not 50 cents, tat's the rapper lah!) or twink..?' Truth be told, i wasn't the one who came up with the nicks..they were invented by some very creative(& bo-liao) colleagues back in the good ole days..

Wait a min..but i'm also just 'ZXL' on ur blog..isn't it?

Anyway, she then went on to think of a 'cool' nick for herself..SJH - Serial Job Hopper(she considers staying in an organisation for 2 years a VERY long time)

I've got another one for you..SHM - Serial House Mover, how about that? (she moved house so many times i've lost count..)

So..SJH? or SHM?

Well Done ZXL!

Just the first week and i've already exceeded my target..i actually ran 12km this week..Not bad not bad..

And i've even recruited another lamb and 'designed' a 2-6-8 programme for her..With the help of a $2 skipping rope(cheap & good!), she'll aim for a 6-pack in 8 weeks..

9/6 2011

Browsed through previous entries..i had a 9/6 last year too..It was Project 9/6 - 6pack..

And i decided to have Project 9/6 again for 2011.. 9/6 - 10k

Every week from now till 9/6..i shall run 10km(total of lah)

Run ZXL run!

What I Like About Runs..

I've been accompanying people to runs for a while now..By that, i mean they run, i watch..Some people might find it bo-liao..but i dun mind it a bit, in fact i rather enjoy doing so..for the following reasons:

• Catching sunrise - Most runs start in the city area, which usually gives a good chance of watching the orange orb climbing up to start the day..caught a rather pretty glimpse today :)


• People-watch - To say that seeing (toned)people in sportswear, drenched in perspiration turns me on, may be a little far-fetched..but I do like to watch sports participation(occupational hazard..?) and runs are the perfect opportunity to do so..


• Breakfast - It's usually quite difficult to drag friends out for breakfast(esp on a weekend), but runs are a convenient way to 'con' them out.And i get to indulge in my teh-siew-dai without worrying that i'll get too hyper :Þ

****** After the 300++ Run today, we went to Amoy St for breakfast. There's this famous lor mee there which i wanted to eat since my brief visit to the hawker centre couple of weeks ago. I reckon, it's early morning..on a sunday..at shenton way..and lor mee is not a typical breakfast item..shouldn't be that much of a crowd right? I was totally WRONG.

At 930am on an ordinary sunday(not PH, not sch hol), there was a line of some 20 pax in front of the stall! Where did these people come from?? It's Amoy St, not exactly a heavily populated residential area...people staying in the swanky serviced apartments nearby will not come and eat lor mee right(purely my assumption)

Anyway, i joined the queue(not much of a choice, since it was the selling point that i used to convince someone). A quick glance around the surrounding tables showed that 90% of the occupied tables had at least 1 red bowl(used by the stall). And i realised nobody in the queue was just buying one bowl, everyone was buying at least 3, 4 bowls..with others da-baoing 7 packs(really!) But to their credit, the line was moving at a decent speed..And the queue never fell < 15 pax deep in my 1 hour there..in fact, i think it grew longer as it got later..

A bowl of lor mee, 1/4 of a oyster-less oystercake, 4 carrot cake fries, a teh-siew-dai, a few sips of an 'artistic' bubble tea..what more can i ask of a sunday breakfast?

Headlines for the day..

Blueberries - 2 punnets for $5.50!

There's fishball and there's fishball..

It's one of those days..nothing much better to do..and wat does ZXL do in this case? Go eat yu yuan mian lor..Bad mood go, will cheer me up..Good mood go, will be in even good-er mood..so why not right?

This must be the n blog entry about MY yuan yuan mian..but never mind..

Actually i was inspired to go for MY yu yuan mian after i learnt about the demolition of a quite famous hawker centre with a not bad yu yuan mian..I think if ever one day, i turn up at MY yu yuan mian stall and found that it's no longer there..i will cry..3 days 3 nites..

**********

It's one of those days..nothing much better to do..and wat does ZXL do in this case? Dig out a magazine and show off(an article on me) to Choc Lady..

Don't think she was very much impressed..since her only comments were 'You put on weight in this photo hor?' < PAUSE > 5 secs later..'And only your face is fatter hor..face and body like not the same person'(disclaimer: these were not her exact words, but meaning is there lah)

Coming from someone who barely knew me for a year..i suppose this is quite keen observation(since i'm no good at it - i keep observing the 'wrong' things..like thinking someone cut her hair when she didn't or someone put on makeup when she wore contact lens, etc)

Anyway these days..with my exercise FI(frequency and intensity) dropping, i'm starting to be a little concerned that my fishball face might make a reappearance..(i browsed through some old photos..ohh..indeed..fishball is an apt description)

*Thought of posting some photos of my fishball face..but decided against it..lest i get called narcistic again..*

Not-bad..

Had a not-bad teh-siew-dai at lunch today..then for tea break, i had a not-bad mee soto followed by a quite-good cheng teng..

And now, as i'm typing this entry, i'm having a spiderweb bread(though i still dunno why it's so-called) and guess wat? It's not-bad..

Oh, i also visited a sinseh today(for wat else but my this-is-taking-way-too-long-shoulder injury), think he's not-bad..i seem to enjoy a bigger ROM (range of movement) without as much sng-ness now..

Ya..i think my happiness index for the day is not-bad..probably a 7.8..
