Malacca - a good retreat
1) Chicken rice ball shop (famous)
2) Ruins.. of St Paul's chruch
3) Enjoying breeze at the jetty (near our hotel)
4) Along Malacca River.. taking a break
St Pauls' church
Hey ya.. am back.
It's been a good trip. I am glad I chose Malacca over Bintan.. Because there is food.. and cheap food over there.. We stayed in a executive room at HolidayInn Malacca.. it cost us like.. 400 dollars for 2 nights.. woah.. but it was worthwhile.. considered the location.. can easily access all attractions by walking..
The only worst thing that can happen during this trip.. is that I tripped. Got a nasty bruise on my knee.. very painful when i shower.. =(

Crazy workload!
I have been struggling to complete my work this week.. It's not only about working late.. I know I should be more careful to avoid unnecessary work.. but am just too tired. I know it when I start to work late.. and my back and neck start to give me the tension resulting from staring too long at the screen...
gonna do a massage today.. hopefully it helps..
Going on a roller coaster ride.. feeling very grumpy this week.. but well it was all cleared in the end.. It always happened when I start to "rely" on somebody.. and when I am feeling all stressed up and tired... I will start to get Upset.. moody..
Not a good habit. =P
Yeah.. and next week its Christmas Day! I bought alot of presents.. just bit lazy to wrap them up.. but I need to.. maybe tomorrow..
HOpe workload gonna ease abit.. pray that FM don't trade too much.. go home and soaked in the festive mood.. then my life will be easier..
Merry Xmas in advanced in case i don't blog.. (too lazy to switch on my com)!!!

Full Marathon
Yeah.. I did it. But, my legs are crippled now.
When I was running halfway (about 20 km).. I was thinking why on earth did I torture myself this way.. ha.. The run from 20 km to 40 km was horrible.. I think I took 3 hours ++ to finish the last 12/13 km..
I really think half marathon is do-able.. as in able to complete.. but to run a full marathon requires much more.. training and perserverance to endure the pain..
But well.. I finished. .. in 7 hours ++.. quite a poor timing.. but ha.. at least I can tell the world that i completed one marathon.
Sini says she wants to do a half marathon next yr.. I don't mind la.. anyone else interested?
* Lastly, thank you someone for accompanying me throughout the race.. the "pacer" is not stressed.. but I am stressed. Also, for "offering" to taxi back home.. ha..
Congratulations to all who manage to run their race - be it half marathon or full marathon.. salute your determination to finish it.. Been there and done those.. know it's seriously not an easy feat for amateurs like me.. =P
Cheers =)

Working late again
It's seriously been a long time since i worked till ten plus for consecutively 2 days..
Tired.. never ending stuffs to finish..
When I say crazy .. it really means crazy..am seriously sticking my butt on the chair.. for 12 hours.. and if I'm really lucky.. I can afford to eat abit at my desk for 10 min..
That's how terrible it is..
Well.. luckily I had my "break" last week when I was on course.
I'm seriously going to die.. this sunday. Well.. I'm know I'm not the only one who is
ill - prepared. Things are going to be bit different this year.. because I'm gonna get a "pacer"..
stressed. Hmm.. well.. they always say..
"Trouble shared is halved. Happiness shared is doubled."
Hope we can overcome this together..
