Front Crawl Crazy

Last night, I did my 4 sets of 4 continuous laps of front crawl - total of 16 laps frontcrawl with 6 laps breaststroke! Wow, the feeling is out of this world! I can't wait to do it again! Feel leaner and stronger already, hee. I know I'd eventually be able to swim 5 laps soon... looking forward to that day :)

Next week I'm going to run 2.4 km twice a week, swim this awesome 4 sets twice too...and see how my energy level goes....

The best judge is myself - how I feel.

My daily treat

I found out how to make my own daily yogurt treat at work! I bought my own small plastic tubs, put in Greek yogurt and honey and sprinkled muesli on it. Tastes like ice cream!! So cheap too! Less than $1 per serving compared to $2-$3 a tub from supermarts . Delicious and refreshing!! Look at it! I look forward to eating it after a few hours in the heat!!

Food Cravings...

What I'm craving to eat lately especially after my Perth trip is- tiong bahru chwee Kway, al azhar noorth indian food, katong laksa, far east plaza claypot rice and mee Siam! And of cos a good lontong stall. Wonder where to find one??

Great workout

Just had my run cum stair climbing workout with Donnie Yen in my mind a my inspiration! Soaked through with perspiration now!

Going to do my stretching and then cook Yakiudon for my darling boy, for whom I'm staying home today. Had to turn down a few social invitations today as I felt he needs my company to stay focused on his studies. Once Octiber is over, I'd be letting my hair down!!

Donnie Yen- my hero, my aspiration

Look at him- so strong, sexy and youthful! He's actually a year older than me! Who says men in their forties can't look good? In fact it's easy for men and women to look good in their twenties but once they pass 30, many start losing their muscle tone and shape, citing work and family as excuses. Well it's their own loss, co I too had work n family in my thirties but I did not use them as excuses not to keep fit. I was so fit in my late thirties that my ex principal asked me to be her trainer! Later in my early fortes I even added studies, but it still did not deter me from keeping slim and fit. That's why I'm choosing Donnie Yen to be my role model cos he's older than me but still fighting fit! Many may argue that it is his job to keep fit but regardless of that, we can all put in at least 30 min a day to keep fit and more if it is not enough.

Recently at City Hall, I met a caucasian that kinda looked like him. The build, the eyes and the smile. But too bad I'm married but it's still an ego-booster to be noticed by such a hunk!

Well I'm inspired to continue to train hard but also play hard. I've done my part to bring up two lovely kids and I'm still taking care of their father. But what I still lack isn't found at home. Nothing can stop me from going for what I want and need. Interestingly, I have simian lines on both hands and it's been said that people with such characteristics are rare, different and intense. They are very emotional and focused on reaching their goals. No wonder I'm an all or nothing person. I have been criticized for being like this but I don't care, I am who I am and I'm determined to find that missing link in my heart..

I am a blue rose, not a human

How can I be expected to be ordinary like most other humans, when I'm not one? I'm a blue rose in human form but my heart, spirit and soul is that of a blue rose. I knew I was not ordinary when I was a kid. I don't know if it was my family circumstances that shaped me to be what I am or because I'm a blue rose, I'm born into such a family. But here I am. 48 years of human existence but my heart and soul is still young cos a blue rose lives for hundred and thousands of years..

Don't expect me to love like an ordinary human does, or think like one. so don't be surprised when I shock you with my 'weird' acts or behaviour, haha. Even the fortune teller told my mom when I was young that I was not ordinary...

More teachers day pics

These were taken by my fren Margie. She's the pretty one with the short hair. I couldn't take my eyes off her the whole night!! I think I'm infatuated with her, haha.. The guy I took the pic with is my 'brother', also in the PE dept. We are very close n used to eat out together. Recently he said, hey we haven't gone out to eat recently hor? Well I'm touched he still wants to! I can be at home with him cos he is non judgemental and very encouraging. Even when I share my weaknesses and Setbacks with him, he will always turn it around to make it into something positive. It's really nice to have someone like that in yr life. Well enjoy the pics. These ppl are very precious on my life right now. When I was shopping at Fremantle market I spent my time looking for personalised gifts for them. I know things won't be like this forever but for now I want to cherish and enjoy their company as much as I can. Create as many good memories as possible to fill up my album of life ..
