2XU Compression 12km Run 2011 ->> Cooling

MooMoo had a good run this morning. She managed to run the whole stretch of 12km without walking but she did it slow and steady to make sure she does not injure herself.

I guess she really need to thank GOD for the beautiful weather coz 'Grandpa Sun' is taking a rest this morning. It drizzle a bit at the beginning of the run and luckily it didnt continue to rain... many would prefer 'Grandpa Sun' to come out but MooMoo cannot really run when 'Grandpa Sun' is working. She likes it to be cloudy but this morning the sky is kinda dark and gloomy. Hahaha... Anyway, the weather was pretty cooling and MooMoo's knees are behaving quite well today. I think the calf guards helped a bit in the running coz her calves don't seem to be tired after the 12km run.

Too bad, Piggy could not participate in this run as she's still in Kimchi land. Looking forward to run with her in May for her 1st half marathon during the Adidas Sundown 2011. ^=^

* It really works when you keep motivating yourself throughout the run and tell yourself, "You can do it!". The power of your subconcious mind... hehe...

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Fun with Origami Paper

MooMoo having FUN with the origami papers she bought from DAISO. Japanese are just so creative with the ORIGAMI Art.

ORIGAMI (折り紙) originated from the word 'Ori' which means folding and 'Kami' which means Paper and it is the traditional Japanese Art of Paper Folding.

The most famous, all time favourite origami would be the paper crane. Paper cranes reminds MooMoo of her trip to Hiroshima... 'Thousand Origami Cranes' at the Sadako Sasaki memorial.

Well, MooMoo bought this cute origami papers from DAISO for fun and they looked so cute coz you can fold them into kitty cats and piggies and stick them on the background paper of 'Day' and 'Night'. Hmm... the lighting in MooMoo's room is not so good so the photos seemed to be a bit dark and gloomy...

This it the paper that you can either fold them into a Kitty or Piggy.

Here's Piggy and Kitty on 'Day' background...

Here's 2 little Piggies pak-toing under the 'Moonlight' background...hehe...

* 'PASSION' VS 'MONEY'?!?

Today's Horoscope

It's all about "PERSCPECTIVE" and yours is way too narrow. Broaden your horizons today.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself right now. Sure you have goals and aspirations, but every day that you don't reach them isn't a failed effort. You're a work in progress, and you are entitled to take a few days off or downgrade a lofty goal. Keep things realistic, or else you may end up disappointing yourself. When push comes to shove, you should always be treating yourself with care and support. Being your own drill sergeant is not going to work anymore.

* hmmm.... lower expectations?!?

Stretching the 'WRONG' thing...

MooMoo supposed to go for 'Balance' stretching class today... but ended up stretching her wallet instead... she really stretched her wallet to the extreme today. Shopping therapy?!? =p It started with lunch time... must really leave the credit card in the office when go out for lunch next time. MooMoo just can't control herself when she walks in a craft shop. She saw her favourite craft book again. She was looking for it all over in Japan bookstore but could not find it. This time, she just can't resist it and now the book is hers. Hahaha... And this doesn't stop here... MooMoo continued to stretch her bleeding wallet after dinner. Hahaha... She went to Paper Market with her gym buddy and got poisoned by all the lovely scrapbooking materials.... all shouting to her "BUY ME!!! BRING ME HOME!!!..." She even ended up being a VIP member after her purchases... * If Piggy is here, she will faint...

Time to start another project. Hahaha... My gym buddy got a bit infected after seeing the li'l mini project I did for Ms. Mo... Art Attack... kekeke....

The papers all look so lovely right?!? MooMoo just can't resist... she decided to work on another project for Cutie Pie's birthday... a scrapbook album.

Looking all all these lovely papers make MooMoo's day. It just brings a smile to her face just by flipping through them. ^=^

MooMoo got a quite good deal on this 'Scrapbooking Kit'... It was on SALE for the last piece and it only cost about $16.90 for the whole set. It's real cool coz it comes in a box with a scrapbooking album, 24 pieces of scrapbooking papers, 93 punch outs decor, 338 stickers and 6 chipboard accents.

This is a booklet of "sayings" stickers which can be used for the scrapbooking... for BABY GAL.

This is a FREE Gift of Alphabets for the purchases done... and we got 25% off the total bill for the VIP 1st time purchase. Quite a good deal! ^=^

It's time for MooMoo to have FUN.... "HAPPY SCRAPBOOKING!!!" ^=^

* MooMoo wonders what would it be like if she were to do this in her daily job?!? hahaha...

Aching here and there...

After Monday's great workout, MooMoo is aching all over...

- Arms
- Shoulder
- Abs
- Inner Thighs

Need to do some stretching classes tomorrow.

WHY DO MUSCLES ACHE?!?

These are the answers found from Wiki Answers...

The ache you feel after a workout is called Lactic Acid. Basically, you have just torn your muscle fibers up and they are entering the repairing stage. Feeling this ache is very normal because that means you performed a strong, effective workout. Now eat right and let the muscles repair and get bigger. Later, while you are relaxing, the pain will encourage you to rub and manipulate the muscle...which is exactly what they need. Massage moves the lactic acid out and encourages blood flow (and feels painfully good), all of which will help sooth your growing and healing muscles.

Exercising creates microtears in the fibres that make up your muscles. When you're muscles ache, your body is repairing these tears and making your muscles stronger.

Hmm... seems like it's a good thing that muscles ache... err... but it says it will get bigger...that's kinda scary... hahaha... I want to be lean not get bigger.


* Today got special delivery of MooMoo's fav 'GONG CHA' House Special Iced Coffee from her gym buddy BUT... when it reached here, it got smashed on the floor... all gone case... so very sad!!! MooMoo had to replace it with 3in1 latte... =((

You Got Me

You Got Me ----by Colbie Cailat

You're stuck on me
and my laughing eyes
I can't pretend though
I try to hide, I like you
I like you.

I think I felt my heart skip a beat
I'm standing here and I can hardly breathe,
you got me, yeah You got me.

The way you take my hand is just so sweet
And that crooked smile of yours
it knocks me off my feet
Oh, I just can't get enough
Find my stoup I need to fill me up
It feels so good it must be love
It's everything that I've been dreaming of.
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.

Cause no matter what I do, Oh (oh)
my heart is filled with you.
I can't imagine what it'd be like
Livin each day in this life, without you.
Without you.

One look from you I know you understand
This mess we're in
you know is just so out of hand.
Oh, I just can't get enough
Find my stoup I need to fill me up
It feels so good it must be love
It's everything that I've been dreaming of.
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.

Cause no matter what I do, Oh (oh)
my heart is filled with you.
I hope we always feel this way
I know we will and in my heart
I know that you'll always stay
Oh, I just can't get enough
Find my stoup I need to fill me up
It feels so good it must be love
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.

Cause no matter what I do Oh,
I just can't get enough
Find my stoup I need to fill me up
It feels so good it mus
It's everything that I've been dreaming of.
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.
Cause no matter what I do, Oh (oh)
my heart is filled with you.

Oh (oh)
You got me. You got me.
Oh (oh)
You got me. You got me.



* I've LEARNED that....
....that when u harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
....that I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

Big Prawn Head

This is the 2nd time MooMoo locked her keys in the locker. After running 5km, MooMoo went for a shower. When she came out, she realized that 'Cinderella' was missing. 'Cinderella' is the doll on the keychain, with a missing shoe (a gift from one of her gym buddy).... Then, she realized that she had locked 'Cinderella' with the keys in the locker. = ( There goes her padlock... Need to go buy another new one. Really so 'Big Prawn Head' lately... Must go get one padlock where the keys cannot be detached from the padlock unless the padlock is locked. Then, sure this thing will not happen again.

* Can people actually assumed that 'SORRY' is said once it is heard or it is simply blurted out?!? Do people mean it when they say 'SORRY'?!? Anyway, 'SORRY' does not turn back time...

Piggy's HAPPY and MCPig

Time really flies... Piggy had been away for about 3 weeks. Piggy is having fun 'SEOUL Searching' and she had left her 2 little ones 'HAPPY' and 'MCPig' to keep MooMoo company in Lion City. The only difference is that these 2 don't snore. Chicky Pie loves HAPPY lots... keep drooling on HAPPY. Hahaha....

Just sent 'HAPPY' for a bath today so that Piggy can bring her to Korea safely as not contaminated with germs. Hmmm...Favouritism! MCPig don't get to go Korea. Hahaha... ^=^
