Anyway, I'm doing well for "post marathon". My legs don't hurt as bad as I thought they would, in fact the ache in my back and shoulders are actually worse than my legs. =_= I feel so OLD.
I visited my A6 buddies at the chalet yesterday. Although it was a short visit, I feel really happy to be able to spend some quality time with them. These are the ones who have fought with me til the ends of As, the kind of friendships that money cannot buy and I don't want to exchange them for anything else.
Alrights, gonna read up my assist manual. Back to assisting again! Exciting!

On a side note, my relatives are back from Sabah. Some of my cousins are staying at my home so I will be entertaining them these few days. Gosh, they are so grown up now that I find it difficult to communicate with them. =_=''
1 and a half days to the marathon! I'm excited cum nervous...I think I lost a bit of mental strength though I know my stamina is still there. =X To do a full marathon is one of my 100 dreams! I will complete the race no matter what!

All the clothes been squished together - no use ironing as they become crumpled after struggling to go in. (Sume will protest if she reads this)
Mummy has been bugging me to pack my room and she specify "starting from your wardrobe". She always complain that I have too many clothes and the metal bar which holds all the clothes is breaking soon. Such a hyberbolic claim. Haha. I feel that clothes are a necessity and I need a variety to "rotate". Anyway, I realised I still want to keep most of my clothes so my wardrobe looks quite the same after packing - only cleaner because I wiped it. :D
I love the ambience. Totally romantic! :P
The Christmas lightings are up at Clarke Quay and jq can't stop saying that the blue decorations are just for me. Blue is such a smoothing colour!
We failed to capture a perfect picture so the waitress did it for us instead.
This is what I shared with sher. SINFUL. =_=

Anyway, the renovation at mac is done and it is really beautiful! The toilets are no longer filled with cockroaches and lizards...There are plenty of cubicles available and even showering areas! Absolutely love the place man! :)
Well, now that I have lots of time at hand, I got to plan wisely and maximise my youth. Haha. My initial plan was to only start working after Christmas so as to catch up with my friends and chill out first. BUT I'm running out of cash so I think I will be starting work earlier. =_=
Some plans for the loooong break:
1. Teach tution
2. Get a second job
3. Help my canoeing juniors
4. Assisting
5. More bonding with spiritual family
6. Pack my room
7. Start piano classes again
8. Learn driving!
9. Catch up with friends
10. Shopping :))
11. More running
12. Brush up on my painting skills
13. Get internships if possible
14. Hibernate
and the list goes on.......
P.S. There is somethine so wrong with blogger! My skins can't be seen! Tsk.

I went to the art museum yesterday. Being there when I was in Zhonghua but the exhibitions have changed since. Anyway, the buddies who accompanied me are the usual girls. I'm really thankful for them, its hard to find people who are interested in viewing museums. We are indeed one of a kind. :)
Anyway, I wanted to sleep in this morning and my mum woke me up early to accompany my bro to the IT fair at expo. Of course, I declined. I h
ate being squeezed in such large crowds. =_='' Moreover, I just feel like staying at home today. It has been a while since I actually stay at home. I was either in school or out. So even though it is a public holiday today, I will choose to slack at home.
I attempted painting this morning. But I failed miserably. :( Either I have lost my artistic skills or I just don't have the inspiration. I don't even want to touch my piano for now because I'm afraid I may be even more disappointed. =/ Maybe I should go for a run at mac to gain back my confidence.
Oops. I just found some unglam photos of me during the marathon. :( But I decided to post them up admist other photos because it was like a once in a life time experience. Unfortunately, Mark went to tag me...Lol.

Yeah! I have completed a REAL marathon and can strike off one point in the 100 dreams book. Running 42km is a really good experience, it is a combination of mental strength, stamina and pain endurance (which is what kills me). Thankfully with the grace of God, the weather was awesome and I was able to press on to achieve my target of below 6hours. I also want to thank people like Miss Lam, jq, Miss Ng, sume, ej, Anthony, Dy, Kit, wl, Elis, jm, jas for their words/smses of encouragement. Of course, not forgetting my dear Regina, Jeremy and Lewis who accompanied me in the course of the race. :)
My mummy sort of forbid me to join another marathon, she says a girl should not run too much or else you can lose your womb and its too exerting etc. But I think I still want to take part again because I know I can do much better when time permits me to train harder. Well, I guess I will continue to run and see if I can change her mind next year. :P
So many things have happened recently and I don't know how to put them across to people. Perhaps it is not so much of the lack of trust but I find it pointless to explain about these issues over and over again when they cannot really sympathise with the situation. It is just so tiring.
I thought the end of As was the only transition but I'm facing more transitions at the moment. I know change is a constant in life. But sometimes it is easier said than done. People do not just move on without forgetting what has took place and ties cannot be severed over night.
Many often comment that I appear to be rather aloof and unapprochable, but perhaps that is the way I try to keep my cool and remain optimistic about life. I want to keep it this way because that is me and God is in control.

Val is officially broke broke BROKE! She needs to learn from Jia Qi and writes down her daily spendings. She needs to get a job asap and learn to earn her own keep. :(
On a side note, my relatives are back from Sabah. Some of my cousins are staying at my home so I will be entertaining them these few days. Gosh, they are so grown up now that I find it difficult to communicate with them. =_=''

We are officially known as the old aunties left on the shelf. LOL. They are so funny and I always love hanging out with them. Of course, our time out can nver be completed without camwhoring!
I love the ambience. Totally romantic! :P The Christmas lightings are up at Clarke Quay and jq can't stop saying that the blue decorations are just for me. Blue is such a smoothing colour!We failed to capture a perfect picture so the waitress did it for us instead.

"To commemorate the eighth year of Singapore’s marquee running event, we are organizing a special Race Entry Pack Collection for 8,000 runners to be among the first to collect their race packs at the Floating Platform at the Marina Bay!" - http://www.singaporemarathon.com/
And guess what? I'm fortunate enough to be one of the 8000 runners! I suspect I have this special affiliation with Standard Chartered because previously when I registered for the apprenhice, I was selected contrary to expectation. :P
So together with my mum who is one of the 8000 runners as well, we went to collect our race packs. My mum was disappointed with the content inside, she said that it was not worth the $30plus of payment. Haha. Well, I have to agree that the goodies are not as fantastic as the Nike Human race's. However, Standard Chartered's organisation is way better! While I was collecting the pack, the employees were doing kallang wave, screaming, cheering...They even wished me good luck for my race! The atmosphere certainly brought a smile onto my face! :))
Miss Lam smsed me a few days ago to check on my "running progress". So nice of her right! Her smses even reflect her personality. So bubbly and enthusiatic! I think she is more excited than I do. I shall do my best to make her proud. :D
42km lets go!

I'm feeling refreshed because I went to run at macritchie this morning. I was intending to do 20km but I ended doing about 12km only as it was getting late. My biological clock is rather screwed up these days so I couldn't wake up in time to meet yy at 8am. Sorry yy! =X
Anyway, the renovation at mac is done and it is really beautiful! The toilets are no longer filled with cockroaches and lizards...There are plenty of cubicles available and even showering areas! Absolutely love the place man! :)
