Run MK Run!

-
Just realized it has been 2 months since I last updated my blog :| I tend to blog a lot when I am down, so I can say that I have been quite happy hence the lack of updates :p. And I am here writing craps again because something is bothering me :(.

Anyway, I had my first run with Yoke Yee over the weekend. We have been wanting to do this for a while. So when Shirley approached Yoke Yee for the Run for Peace run, we gladly joined in! It's definitely much better than I thought it would be (I imagined myself crawling on the road for the last few kilometers. Yes, I am exaggerating because it's just a less than 10km run :p).


I think I did okay although I know it could be much better, more training sessions needed. After getting 2 goodies bag (thanks to the lovely aunty who so generously gave me extra) and the Run for Peace cert, I walked back to Yoke Yee's house to get my car and headed for breakfast.

Got a so-called-caring-message from King crab while I was having breakfast. Now you know where the title of this post derives from :)

 

That's my first run. I am looking forward to the next run for the T-Shirt, the goodies bag, the free drinks and food. 

There is no telling how many miles you will have to run while chasing a dream.  ~Author Unknown

Chichele Road

Farewell to the tiny room at St Pauls Avenue. Goodbye to the always "happening" OZ housemates. Leaving behind those tiny creatures - beg bugs -_-. I am saying hello to our new flat at Chichele Road ! After all we have been through we can finally move out from the house with 11 rooms and more than 15 housemates. All the unwashed dishes in the kitchen, unwashed jeans & dirty underwear hanging in the shared bathroom, shoes & clothes that scattered everywhere on the floor, housemates that always booze & party & etc etc. If you are looking for a place to stay in London, never ever go for accom*modation Lon*donn. Why? The beg bug drama alone is enough to stop you from living in the house T___T Anyway, the new flat is 3 times (or more?) larger than our previous room in St Pauls. At least, 3 of us don't have to stay in the same tiny room anymore. Pictures time! The room for 2 pretty girls *cough* not women *cough* Taken with another camera mode Lounge/Reception or

[Jordan] Wadi Mujib Reserve, Siq Trail

I didn't have any expectation for Wadi Mujib Reserve. I thought it would just be another ordinary water trekking trail under scorching sun. Yes, it's summer now in Jordan and we have just experienced 40°c a couple of days ago in the desert 😣 It was only at the Wadi Mujib Reserve Centre that we realised it's an adventurous trail with high water level and strong water current. In fact, it's canyoning that we need to do: climb, wade, abseil and swim at certain places! I was reluctant at first due to the hot weather and had doubts if I could complete the trail. But hubby was keen and my father in law is going too (he is in his 70s!), so there really was no excuse for me not to. My father in law who is an avid traveller and photographer The trail started with a climb down a rock. From here, the water level got higher as you walk/wade deeper into the canyon. At one point, I was almost swept away by the strong water current. I grabbed the rope as tightly as I can a

2021 Recap

My 2021 was definitely not all sunshine and rainbows but looking back my heart has chosen to remember more of the good ones:  Consistent workout throughout the year I managed to maintain 3 - 4 workout sessions per week with one goal in mind - for health, be it physically or mentally. The key to maintain consistency is to turn workout into part of your lifestyle and most importantly, go for routines that you are comfortable with. I've tried multiple workout programs and I found these work best for me -  Yoga with Kassandra and standing workouts from Chloe Ting . Sometimes when I don't feel like following instructions from the TV, I will hop on the cross trainer for 30-45 mins and of course walking the dogs help too!  Completed my therapy sessions  At times I questioned myself why "waste" my precious weekend albeit just an hour to attend the therapy sessions. Yet, no regrets after completing a total of 8 sessions with the therapist. It helps me to understand myself bet
