Rain rain rain... Run run run.
Firstly, the rain's been making me wet and sticky, which is really irritating. I ran the 10km race for the Army Half Marathon. It was good, the timing was satisfactory only, not up to my target yet. I was quite disappointed with the lack of signs indicating the distance to finish, and there was a REALLY tiny bottle neck where I had to slow down to a walk! So irritating!
Anyway, that aside, darling and I nearly went to the bird park on Saturday, but heng we decided not to, cos it poured like the skies were lao sai-ing.
Anyway, the SMRC and the 50th anniversary dinner of the SSR will be coming up. Been kept busy trying to figure things out. And I really need to catch up with my sleep, which I really need to now. Good night.

I just finished 2 shifts. Oh my, I'm so freaking tired. Ortho clinic was REALLY mad and then E6 wasn't better. But then, I went for durians at Balestier. And oh am I happy again.
These are "butter" durians. They are from Combat Fruit Stall just next to Quality Hotel. As you can see, the seeds are small and flat, the flesh is sweet, bitter and REALLY flavourful. And there was so much flesh! And the flesh is smooth and very creamy, just like butter! Really lives up to its name.
Here's the catch, the price. It cost $15 for this 7 seeded durian, but to me, I was 15 bucks well spent and I was really happy looking at the remains.

Darling had her first day of work yesterday. Time really does fly. Anyway, Baobei Happy Working! We'll look forward to our leave soon ok? Must work smart!
Headed to TopOne KTV with the TTSH colleagues today. It's the first time I've been K-ing with this bunch and I'm loving the company! So fun! And relaxing.
This week's nice, I'm at Ortho clinic for the entire week, very siong, but I love ortho work, plain xrays or CT likewise. But my body is having a hard time catching up with the physical stress of work!

People say you spend 1/3 of your life sleeping, and you ought to get a good bed. And damn did I order myself a good bed today. In the light of my mid year bonus and that my current mattress is losing it's support and such, it's time to get a new one. This new one cost $1550 with the frame. So expensive, but I really hope this will help improve my sleep and prevent back problems for me. Oh man... that was such a tough decision...

It was a tough week for me. It's not really because of post holidays inertia, but more of my illness. I've been down with really nasty food poisoning. I went like 20 times over 3 days. It was really mad. And just when I thought I'm ok to go eat normal food again, I JUST went 3 times. Alamak! I don't want soft diet anymore...
But seriously, staying away from good and unhealthy food is not something I'm too good with. Oh man... Singapore Bay Run coming up! I signed up for the 10 km! Cos I want to better my timing! Huat ah!
