Busy Day

Sunday was an extremely long day.

6.00 Woke up. After a light breakfast (2 bananas, 1 char siew pau and 1 milo), ran to East Coast Park. Trying out my new Ascis GT2110 - just bought yesterday. Laced the right leg too tight. Felt pain on the arch after a short distance. Stopped at Upp Changi Road East and loosen the lace. Ah much better. Reached East Coast Park in 35 minutes. Shit - the coins have come loose again! Last time the coins in my back pocket somehow all went into the seams of the trouser and move from left to right round the bottom. This time, put them in a plastic and the stupid plastic bag got to burst! Boh pian, stopped at MacDonald where the sgrunners had gathered, to fish them out. By the time came out of the toilet, the sgrunners had started off. Quite a big turn out today. Caught up with them. Along the way, saw Sam and his friends getting ready for the Duathlon. Gentle and Mrs Gentle (I presume) was also cycling there. Ben cycled by and said hello. Ran until Fort Road before u-turn. Broked off from the sgrunners at Bayshore underpass and returned to Simei. Reached Simei at 9.08 which means I have been running for about 2hours 40 minutes. Distance of 25km. Better than the last time I ran this route which took me 2.58. This time faster a bit probably cos weather was good. Still for 25km, should have just taken 2.30 and not more! Need to improve on speed!

9.30 After cool down went upside. Alicia ran up and whispered "Mum in a bad mood". Apparanently, Mother took her mobile by mistake. Sigh! There goes my rest. Took a fast shower, grab 2 more paus and drove down to Moulmein Rd. Luckily the prayer session haven't start yet. Managed to change phone with Mother. Then rush back before the Mrs goes out. Ha - she still at home. Peace at last.

10.45 Sent Alvin for his Chinese tutition class. Enjoyed the time alone with him as we can chit chat. Kids grow up so fast nowadays. Most of the time spent in front of the tv. Never communicate any more. In the car, cannot escape. Must answer back. He said the tutition teacher expects him to get distinction for his chinese exam in school. Footnote: Half his class including him failed the exam! So the tutition teacher is lousy or what!

12.45 Returned to pick him up and went over to Tampinese for lunch. Got weird nasi lemak. Hate eating there nowadays. The old man will keep telling everybody to eat this, eat that as if we are 2 years old kids and some of the food are simply unedible! No choice - once a week ritual just got to tahan.

2.00 Went to Science Centre for the Star Wars Exhibition. Brought Edmund and Amily along. Bloody tickets so ex. $79 for 6 of us! Somemore what a let down! No Han Solo, Yoda, Leia, Luke, JJ Binks, Obi-wan. Only consolation was they allowed photograph so took a lot of photographs. But no flash allowed so photos didn't turn out too well. More on the Stars Wars and photos at my yahoo! 360 and yahoo! photos

6.30 Decided to eat char kway teow. Went down to Margaret Drive. Alamak, the stall not opened. In fact very few stalls opened. Switched over to Tiong Bahru. Craving for Char kway teow still there. Decided to try the Koh Brothers Char Kway Teow. Me think the Koh Brothers shld stick to their pig organ soup. The char kway teow tastes like left over pig intestines!

9.00 Home sweet home. Wanted to go and sleep straight away. Then remembered this is the night Utd plays Wigan in the League Cup final. Hoped Wigan can beat the Devils. No such luck. Mafia wannabe Rooney scored 1 goal in the first half and that was it - I knew Wigan would not be able to come back. Went to sleep after the 1st half. True enough - Wigan kena 4-0.

11.45 Bed and rest at last!
