the thrill of it

adrenaline rush

heart pumping

nervous

stressed

excited

frustration

fear

i think the words above well describe what i'm feeling right now. it is such a mixed feeling that i have to take one day at a time, one thing at a time, give everything my best shot and hope everything falls in place at the end of the day...

but i have a feeling that it will be great and i'm really looking forward to it. i'm not sure what will i feel when its all done and we're ready to rock, i guess the feeling will be pretty amazing. and at that very moment, i can proudly say "this is my baby"...

feeling good

i'm feeling healthy both mentally and physically, and i intend to keep it up...

after spending a week of basically not really doing anything at work, it is finally coming to an end. i've been counting down the days and right now, it should be 2 more days to go. the last 15 months as a recruiter has been very useful and i know it's now time to move on or i will regret. i hope this new ride will be the answer for what i've been missing for quite some time...

i've been planning my dinner since 4pm in the office, well yes...this is what people do when they are bored in the office. after collecting inspiration from here and there, i found what i want to make tonight. as the clock tick 6pm, i'm almost the first one to rush to the lift and off i go with 2 other colleagues; walking toward the direction of bus no.49 which will take me to The Center. i walked from there on back home; put down my things...change and off i go again first to lian hua and then to the gym. 

bought all the stuffs i need...head to the gym. ran for 30mins on the threadmill while watching the replay of  the women's individual class 5 table tennis where ren guixiang (the 4th photo in the link) of China won the gold medal in the 2008 paralympics. did a bit of weights on the machine after that and then walked home. i felt so good after the run that i thought...."hmm...maybe should sweat even more.." then i thought of the crunch yoga dvd from Jen. so yeah, that's what i did...i did the fat burning yoga. it was quite a tough session (at least for people with zero yoga experience like me)...but hey, I SWEAT LIKE MAD it feels so good! after cooling down....i finally started my dinner preparation. hehe...so what did i prepare for dinner? here you go...

my roasted pumpkin on top of salad (without dressing) that contains green veg, red pepper and cherry tomatoes.

the nike 10km human race

malaysian national day, which is last sunday was celebrated by doing my 2nd run in shanghai (erm...yeah, 2nd run after more than 5 years). and guess what? this run has 15,000 participants wor!! so, let's imagine this...it's basically jam packed with human and you are actually doing a 10km run surrounded by people throughout. 

now, talk about surrounded by people. you will think, "so what?". now imagine this, its running in the rain coz it started to pour before the gun even went off, then you will see people taking out umbrella (umbrella during a run?). halfway through, couples start to walk under their umbrella like they are strolling in a park. most hilarious was how these 2 guys lit their cigarette during the run and start to walk while smoking...

can imgine? still can't?? well, let's take a look at the pictures then...hehe

this is like 0.1% of the crowd...so imagine 15,000 of these similar 'red people' swarming around u...haha!

but anyway, it was a really fun experience. so at the end of the day we are still smiling and laughing and most importantly we felt that we've shed some pounds by doing the run (not to mention that we went for curry fish head, roti canai, sinchew fried beehoon later as our way of celebrating "merdeka! merdeka"). 

told you....we had fun!
