This was put up on a friend's blog and it can't get any more honest than this.

Live the dream KC!!

Cheers!!

More damage & more to come..

Today, we went to meet our lovely ID Kevin to discuss some reno stuff.

Progress is good and if we all goes well,
We should be moving in by the 3rd week of next month.

We also went to buy lighting for the entire house..
Actual total cost was about $1,500,
But of course yours truly managed to sweet talk her way down to $1k flat...
Maaan...I'm getting real good at this.

Also got our hob, hood and oven to build into the kitchen cabinets.
Because I'm a forum stalker,
I knew exactly what I was looking for..THESE from Rinnai!

Here's a preview of our kitchen:

Still looking for the perfect refrigerator, sofa and dining set though..

Till then!

Back from Reservist

Thank you guys for making it yet another memorable ICT.

Looking forward to next year!! 13th to 18th Dec 10.

Haizu as usual always doing all the work for everyone.. One day he will run his own battalion.

Finally cleared my IPPT during in camp.. Ngoi won't be proud of my running though.

Well, comparing to last year's results, I think it is a clear sign that I am getting older.

This boots are made for walking...

i just hope we will walk less next year.

Cheers for now.

My virgin marathon

So it's been 2 days since the marathon.
The legs unfortunately, have not recovered & even walking has become a challenge.
Nonetheless, it was one of the best experiences I've ever had & I would strongly urge everyone else to give it at least one try!
As many who have done it would say,
"When you cross the finish line, no matter how slow or fast, it will change your life forever."

I've been talking myself into doing it since a couple of years ago.
I guess it's the thrill of doing something crazy, something challenging.
And like many of my other life goals, I knew that once set, there were no excuses, no procrastination, no turning back.
And Leo/ Britney, for the record, the feeling is 1000 times better than when I said "I feel like a man!" beating most boys at 2.4km in school..heheh

To cut all 42.195km of the story short,
Though I didn't manage to go under 5hrs as planned, I had a good run generally.
Albeit having felt myself going crazy at the 35km mark.

And as cliché as it sounds, it really was mind over matter from that point on - I had to continuously talk to myself to keep on going when my body shut down.

Next up, a triathlon & at least one marathon a year – under 5 hours this time!

Before...

And after..

Its back to work for the both of us.

With our feet firmly on the ground, its a return to the serious side of life.

Too much sweets and chocolates is never a good thing.. that I attained as I grow older but wiser with age.(Or not)

As much as I would love to amble with altruism, I think I aspire to be a scrooge this upcoming months. Like Ngoi mentioned in

the previous entry, we have discovered that Yusof Ishak has decided to be a little coy with us. Ha ha. But Mama Sue in all her wisdom says that moolah will appear in its many forms.

And Ngoi is experiencing that now!!

God willing! Amin.

The past couple of weeks, I've learned the definition of words like "broke" in depth and portraying facial expression like 'minta belas kasihan' with ease.

But on the bright side of life, I've benefited by learning the aptitude of appreciating those who had stood with me through hard times.

We love our Mummies.

We hope to fathom and replicate in your likeness.

Ok, minus the boring stuff,

Here are the pixels taken from last weekend.

Much time has been put into shuffling btw AMK and Sengkang

Our living room.

Ngoi finally completing Joget Tiang II

Ngoi picking up pointers from Mum in Law

"Birdddd... Birrdd... Mana Biiirrdddd?"

Aite Peeps.

Stay cool and funky.

Cheers!

Hi guys!

So it's back to reality for both Yea & I. Truth be told, the wedding was so much fun that we even had thoughts of "renewing our vows" every year. Hehhh...

But reality check, we are both dead broke now what with the honeymoon and the new place. So if you're wondering why we are MIA, it's because Yea says we can only do budget activities now while we recoup our losses...haha. So pls do still invite us for anything cheap, or even better free!

Next big thing for me is the Stanchart marathon. My first ever 42.195km! Am I excited? Hell yeah. Am I prepared? Erm, probably not as much as I would have loved to, but I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to complete it in a decent time. So if you're not doing anything this Sun 6 Dec, pls come down and lend Ngoi your support!! Woo hoo!!


P.S.: We miss all of you-know-who...meet up soon!

Early Shopping

Ngoi picked our bed earlier on today at Courts. And Aunty Mas was generous to buy us our second furniture.. a washing machine!! yeah babey...
