JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge 23 April 2008

This is the 2nd time I participated in the run.. We had more runners this year - 60, as compared to the miserable 12 last year haha.. Our jersey same as a certain bank alamak... But nvm lah, our company names start with the same word, so same same haha... Sky was really gloomy before we began, heng it didn't rain at all. Same route, same human jam. My timing was 43.59 mins, faster by 1 min this year... not bad for someone who didn't train liao hee...

See my bib no... Huat ar!!!

Little snippet: A total of 12,748 participants from 351 companies took part.

Will join again next year... if I can... =)

大开吃皆!!!!

Woah... been on a major feasting spree these 3 days... now can bite liao but still have to grind the food very gingerly... so very 'you4 xiu3' lately... so not me haha! Now I can understand how come people can go crazy as a result of starvation, though mine is a considered a milder case lah... hee.. Anyhowz, 七月came early for me this year =p

Officially began on Friday, had the famous cooked-using-charcoal pork porridge @ Tiong Bahru for breakfast, then mee goreng and the yummy indian rojak @ West Coast 530 hawker centre for lunch. In the evening, went to Fish & Co for dinner with No.10 and his frens... due to certain circumstances, let's just say we had A LOT of food... You named it, We had it; You don't name it, We also had it.

Saturday, woke up at 2pm, then had KFC for brunch... went to a restaurant @ PSA Building for dinner, then met up with Xin, Zns and Mr Anything @ Mr Bean... had a chocolate brownie with ice-cream... Adjourned to Rochor Tao Hway next, the you tiao was v nice! Had it with soya bean and tao hway as well... so nice to meet up with one another again after quite some time.. hope to see the rest soon too =)

Sunday, went to Beach Road with No.10 for lunch... ate the one-and-only char kway teow that Yours Truly approved (coz its so not oily and with boiled veg), hokkien mee and chilli noodles. Then No.10 brought me to Te@ Party along Bt Timah Road for scones... DAMN NICE!!! The place was pretty cozy and as the cafe's name suggests, it serves many diff types of tea, as well as pasta, pizza, etc. Really lurrrve the scones... got cranberry, blueberry, citrus, etc... I had the chocolate chip one... devour it along with the strawberry cream cheese... YUMS!!! Am craving for more already... slurpz! My weekend feasting spree ended with Mac's for dinner... still can afford for some more feasting for now hee =p

Good Riddance to Wisdom

Plucked out my wisdom tooth surgically last Monday coz it was getting unbearable... Colleague recommended this dental @ Kembangan and I was quite heng as I managed to grab a cancelled slot. All others I called could only give me an appointment the following night or so. Then again, the dentist asked if I wana do it that nite, I okay-ed it immediately, since appointments for surgeries would be at least 2 weeks later... might have died of pain then, so heck, might as well.

The dental initially said its gonna be a 2-minute job... put me on anesthetic for damn long while she finished up another patient.. so long that when she began, I was able to feel a bit of pain! Squeaked to her with my open mouth that it hurts, then she injected more anesthetic. The drilling and yanking that followed was so-you-wouldn't-wana-noe... gum was totally numbed but I could still feel the actions... In the end the 2-minute job became at least 30 minutes... Dentist said her arm ached when my stubborn tooth was finally extracted.

Yes, that's my gum-bits stucked on the tooth... The roots were not the usual 2-legged ones but a whole chunk... Really painful after the anesthetic worn off... couldn't even swallow saliva, gotta pui it out the whole nite. Could only drink milk (which I super hate), cold water and cold porridge using a straw. 痛苦.

Removed the stitch last nite, now not so pain already but can still feel the strain now n then, like when I sneeze, yawn or even bending down. I'm so so so so CRAVING for solid food!

Absoultely STARVING!!!! Dieting is definitely not gonna be in my vocabulary for some time...
