Penang Bridge Walkathon.

Who joined the Penang Bridge Marathon this year?

I heard it got really expensive over the years. It's like RM40 plus for just 10km run or something. I wouldn't know how much it actually cost because I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER sign up for marathon/running/exercise events like this.

So, when you see/hear me talk about how much time I took to finish a 10km run, it's because someone (and there's always SOMEONE) from Dream Catcher couldn't make it and they have extra jerseys/numbers etc. Since it's paid for and no one was gonna take it, why not right? Since I've also gained that useless 3.5kg of nonsense in the body.

This time, however I decided to get Koay come along too. Also, since he needed keep his feet exercised (he injured his ankle's ligament, almost tore it entirely), why not accompany me right?

But he couldn't run so we walked from the beginning right till the end. 

At first, I thought it was going to be super nice and stress-free to walk alongside the injured boy and maybe we could watch sunrise too. I was wrong. Not that it was horrible. It was just bleh. Walking was no fun when everyone else was running. I felt like running but I didn't want to leave him behind, carrying his heavy bag (people's wallets, mobile phones, water bottles and snacks). Yes, we even took turns to carry that burden. So sweeet. Haha. 

Anyways, it was hard not to run when one by one, people are running/walking really fast past us and guess what he was doing 90% of the time!

HE WAS TALKING NON-STOP! 

Of all the time he feels like yakking at that time. I mean SERIOUSLY TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING. Hahaha. I know I sounded like I'm complaining now about him, but it's really not. I'm just amazed at what this guy is up to and it always surprises me, whether in a good way or bad. HAHA.

I remembered at one point, I even ask politely, "Babe, can you keep quiet for like 5 minutes ah? Just 5 minutes so I can walk peacefully?" 

Guess what he did!

Took a bottle, removed the cap and poured some on my head. Yep, he was that bored. And he continued asking questions that I never answer. I kinda just enjoyed ignoring him and laughing when he get so frustrated that no one is answering him to anything. 

HOW TO TALK WHEN YOU'RE IN A MARATHON? 

Okayla, for us it was walkathon all the way. But still, I need to save my energy to finish the "race" ma. 

Oh and we find it really difficult to reach the finish line. It was so far! 10kn seems like an easy task for us in the beginning, but believe it or not. We were the few last (if not last, but we kinda think that we were the last) in our 10km category to finish. 

We took two hours to finally end it. TWO HOURS! 

And what's worse is that the 10km fun-runners passed us like nobody's business. So paised when we walked to the right side where the sign says "10km/Half Marathon" and on the left was the sign that says, "Full Marathon"!

WE WERE THE ONLY TWO HUMANS WALKED PASSED THAT SIGN! *embarrased*

We did finish though we never get any medal or free bananas or fee cereals. Ain't nobody got time for that. 

Just when we thought the worse is no more. We then realized we had to walk back to Krystal Point to meet with my sister. And then only we actually started running for a while, until both our legs couldn't take it anymore. 

BEST FEELING IS WHEN YOU OVER-WALKED YOUR LEGS AND YOU FINALLY GET TO SIT DOWN AND NOT MOVE A SINGLE MUSCLE.

Since it's Sunday, we of course rushed to church after having no-shampoo-no-shower-gel-bath (kidding! I did use all the shampoo and body soap. I'm not sure about his though! HAHA). Oh, and despite all that rushing from south side, we were still earlier than Nic! Booyahh! :)

Oh, such a healthy Sunday.

p.s I no longer want to just walk in a marathon (that's if I still actually want to join..)

Haters Gotta Hate.

You probably already expected this post coming for those of you who saw my latest Instagram photo and its caption.

But then again, come to think about it, I think I'm not going to talk about is so much though I actually want to. Haha.

Just two people posting hate-notes. I say hate-notes because the way they commented feels like we have stepped on their feet or something. I mean, it is our honest opinion. And I still do think the soya bean is super overrated and expensive (although it's only RM0.90 per bowl/glass) because they serve in such a small amount. So yeah. My rating is very low because it isn't that good as how people are worshipping it. Heh. Oh wellz.

It's very nice to receive encouraging notes from friends. It is my first time receiving this kind of response, but since we re doing this for fun, I'm going to learn to receive them and not allowing it to affect me in that way. Yes, I am expecting more mean comments coming.

I say until as if I celebrity or something. JOKER LA ME.

Anyways, I am sooooo glad that it's Friday already! It has been crazy week and now crazy week has got to leave.

Two more weeks to short holiday again. Ahhh! I need vacation, whether long or short EVERY MONTH!

Okaylah, I think I just made it a must to travel for holidays at least once a month!

YESLAAA!

Up Up Here We Go.

Because very few people can make it for captain ball, so we cancelled it.

We went hiking instead.

It's been like what? Like years or a lot of months since I last hiked a "mountain"! Haha. 

Some of them didn't want to go but after much persuasion like, "Oh, you know the view up there is like so breathtaking and Insta-worth-it-kind!" and it worked. Yes, one of them is my sister. She's probably the only one that needed to be persuaded. Heh.

There are so many stairs that when we reached Level 3, I thought I had no energy left in me to go all the way up to Level 5, but of course we all did. WE ALL DID.

Something about exercise is that at the time when you're doing it, it feels so horrible. For me, I definitely need someone who constantly "pushes" me to keep going. Not so much of, "you can do it Sarah" but more of "let's do this together".

Got difference right? The first one doesn't feel like it helps. I mean, of course I know I can do it, but whether or not I want to continue being in that pain and go forth. The second one makes me feel like if I stop, you would stop too and I wouldn't want that. So, that kind of push works better on me. Hah. Very the picky type of girl leh.

Anyways, we all had a lot of fun. A LOT. We saw Backstreet Boys too! *inside joke*

Oh, and we all came in like pairs-clothing. And no, we didn't plan it. JUST SO CHUN.

LOVE ITTT! I love dress codes and everyone wearing same colour  It's like so happy kind of mood :)

Me, US Visa Pro.

I now know how to apply for my own US Visa next time.

It's going to costs me RM512 with the exchange rate at three point two.

And that's just visa alone.

I also know that it'll probably be from the B class, for tourist.

It is fun to be busy but I just didn't expect that I would get THIS packed for the entire day and night.

No, I'm not complaining but it's a good thing that it's not going to be like a permanent long hours thing.

I can't even imagine working in a bank or anywhere else that's so busy. I'm thankful :)

St. Jude Medical always send their staffs to United States for training. WHY SO FUN! And most of their paycheck is SO THE VERY AMAZING figure wise. Heh.

MUST MAKE TIME FOR MYSELF soon.

No Time.

From Monday till today and I foresee for the next few days, I will not that extra time to breathe.

Not outside of office at night.

However it is, I am super excited to start filming our food-blog adventure tomorrow.

Just a little preview: there will be roughly 10 series that's coming out. Yeah, something like Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan kind..

:)

Friday Night Like This.

Friday night and I just want to be home, right after food tasting dinner with him.

Head-band on, contact lens out and glasses on, oversized jersey and dis-coloured shorts and lie on the couch, be comfortable and watch TV.

Not really watching also actually. More like day-dreaming while Koay gets entertained on TV with Journey to the Mysterious Island.

Goodnight everyone.

Probably going to have some Cheerios before I enter dream world.

Alone Time.

Tonight is my kind of night. 

Everyone needs that once in a while.

Sometimes.

It's about time to get the twenty nails done.

Then maybe nasi tomato after that? 

:)
