garlic chilli

Today i had macdonald's for dinner. It was a grave mistake of succumbing into a meal of triglycerides and saturated fats.

Forget the fats. Let's talk about the palatability (i presume there's such a word). Macdonald's has got the best french fries amongst all fast food chains. I'm not sure what their secret ingredient is, afterall, all french fries are made of potatoes and salt. It probably is the USA grade potato. Very superior. More often than not, garlic chilli sauce simply compliments the macdonald's french fries. To my chagrin, i realised they don't use garlic chili sauce anymore. Their chili sauce taste normal as hell, like those you would get from typical western food stall.

I was not satisfied with my dinner. I want to petition for them to start serving garlic chili sauce again.

End of story. And no more macdonald's in the next 2 months.

31.8.2008 - where will you be?

I never knew what wasting time meant, till i had to queue up for my freaking Nike Human Race racepack.

Nike Human Race is a 10km charity run. I paid $25, and chose to donate it to WWF (not World Wresting Federation, but World Wildlife Federation). Come 31st Aug, 10million ppl from all over the world will run 10km for charity.

And if you think 10km is quite a challenge, you've got another thinking. Standing in line for a fucking 4 hours just to collect the racepack was an even bigger challenge. I arrived at Clarke Quay at 1.30pm, and was overwhelmed by the crowd. I didn't even know where the queue started. I was on the verge on making a U-turn. But since i'm already there i shall just perish with the rest.

My back's aching like hell. It was sheer torture. I don't even think running 10km would be as torturous as standing for 4 hours without much to do except listening to my ipod and reading my magazines. Oh gawd. And the best thing, they only had 10 counters for collection. I don't even remember SHAPE run being like that. I still told my mom i'll be back by 2pm. As if. I got home at 6pm. What a waste of my Sunday. And to add insult to any (physical injury ala my back) i had to run across the damn bridge and was drenched TWICE. Bad Sunday.
I don't wanna talk about my Friday with Nut, where a stupid girl puked in front of us (thankfully not on us) when we were about to devour on our dinner, which somewhat looked appetizing but we both unanimously agreed that it's nothing but a dish of smelly fish. And i slipped and fell at the stairs after the movie. Something which hadn't happened for years. I can't rem the last time slipped and fell. i've ended up with a bruise on my elbow. :(

I'm the 844651th runner

I NEED A BACK + FOOT MASSAGE!!!

the best things

today i went running so that i could calibrate my nike sports kit.

few things with regards the sports kit made me pretty mad.

1. the fucking casing cover came off while i was calibrating the run. thankfully i was alert enough, otherwise, good bye $75 before my virgin nike sports kit run.

2. i didn't realise that participants who signed up for the nike human race get a 20% discount off the original price of nike sports kit. so i wasted $14

3. the apple shop at parkway was selling the gadget case at $15, and they had a wide range of colours (blue, black, white, red, pink, orange). i bought mine for $16 at suntec and i had to settle for 'hello kitty pink' (yes you get the drift), only to be told "that's the only colour left". FUCK man.

I HATE ANYTHING HELLO KITTY PINK, esp when it comes to cool gizmos like my nike sports kit, which by the way is one hell of an amazing gadget for running. that is if you love running like myself.

I realised blogs without any pictures are boring to the core. Mine's no exceptions.
So here's a very lazy attempt at uploading a picture. taken using mobile phone camera, uploaded via bluetooth. Not that it seems very interesting now does it?


I've been uber busy lately with work. i barely have time for gym. At work, i've been forced to be a bitch to this particular monster. What a life. Only because she's a monster, otherwise i wouldn't need to resort to drastic measures.

I'm looking forward to a very neat pay cheque in Sept. Sept pls come faster!!!!!!

I'm so excited about Ash's concert in Oct. Oct pls come faster too!!!

YAY YAY YAY!

P/S: D B S has also sent me my credit card with a higher credit limit. how nice.

mass sms

this evening, the cheat texted me. I was utterly disgusted to have found out (just few minutes ago) that my other colleagues received the same sms.

I regretted replying the sms even though it sounded remotely friendly and utterly cold and non-chalant. I still feel that i've wasted that 5 cents. Haha.

Who the hell mass smsing these days? Not unless you're planning some activities and you needed ppl to RSVP. Gees. How insincere.

I'm glad the last sms ended with me. The nerve he got seriously!

I also forgot to blog about the two pairs of shoes which i bought this evening.

Two pairs cost me $91. I wish they were Jimmy Choos. (only in my dreams)

If i hit my target this month, i'm going to buy myself a really expensive wallet. Not Coach pls!

After i saw A's Chanel wallet, i've this inclinations to go look at their wallet collections. And i hope i walk out of their store empty handed. Her wallet's really exquisite looking. Maybe a little too atas for 20 something like me. Maybe i should just wait for another 10 years before i lay my hands on Chanel.

So it seems that i have lesser things to blog about these days, or i'm just getting more boring by the day.

in the middle of the night

My friend eggtart, provided me with this kickass program or website rather to map run routes. I've never clicked on the "Map it" button despite visiting this website so many zillion times trying to register for the run on the 31st Aug 2008

Now, i've finally gotten the rough estimate of the distance i usually run around my neighbourhood. I always thought i ran a good 5km, but it was only 4.8km to be exact. Courtesy of google (earth?)

To get a more precise estimation, i shall invest in a Nike + iPod Sport Kit

i so feel like splurging this month.

hip hip hooray!
