Today's Horoscope

Keep plugging away -- each step you take puts you closer to the finish line.

It may be time to say good-bye to something that's been in your life for a very long time (too long, in fact). You're moving into an exciting new phase of life, and to make the journey all the more successful, you need to drop off some old baggage and lighten your load. Admit to yourself that you have limitations, and don't be embarrassed if you never reached that one thing you were working for. Let go of something that once inspired you, but is now only frustrating.

* Interesting... MooMoo definitely need to lighten her load of her bag to keep her backache away... hahaha...

MooMoo LOVES 'Kungfu Panda 2'

MooMoo LOVES both 'Kungfu Panda' and 'Kungfu Panda 2'. Personally, she thinks that the 1st one is better but the 2nd one is pretty cute with the baby panda... when the background story of Po, the Kungfu Panda is discovered. You're in for a GOOD LAUGH watching this cartoon. She would give it a 7.5/10 for 'Kungfu Panda 2'. ^=^

From the 1st show, she likes the following quotes from 'Master Oogway'...

-> 'One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it'

-> 'Your mind is like water my friend, when it gets agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.'

In 'Kungfu Panda 2', MooMoo loves that part about the "INNER PEACE" teaching in the show. It is so very TRUE in Life... sometimes, it's all just about finding the 'Inner Peace' within you no matter what you are doing and where you are and at which moment.... everything will just fall in place. Just gotta master the last piece of the kungfu... Hahaha!!

* You can watch some of the trailers/videos here -> http://www.metacafe.com/topics/kung_fu_panda_2/

MooMoo completed her 1st Half Marathon ^=^

This is MooMoo's 4th run in year 2011 and her 1st Half Marathon. MooMoo had run for 5km, 6km, 10km, 12km, 15km, 21km, 25km and 30km. The number with most hits is 10km. Soon, will try 16.8km, 18km... and hopefully 42km soon. Don't think MooMoo's knees will survive past 42km. Hahaha.

This year's 2011 Adidas Sundown Marathon was good BUT too bad MooMoo reached late due to the bad traffic jam. She was stuck in the bus since 7pm till 8pm++. She and friend decided to stop halfway to walk to the starting point without realizing that they are still a bit far off... which made them walked for 2-3km before they started running their 21km. = ((

Didn't even get to take much pictures this year though they have a lot of activities at the event place. After the run, everyone was rushing to catch their midnight bus. MooMoo ended up reaching home around 1am++ and ate her late night supper around 2am.

MooMoo's target for the run was 2 hour 30 mins but it was 10 mins later. She started off quite fast for the 1st 5km but slowed down so much towards the last 10km. She took more than 10 mins to complete the last 1km coz feeling real tired already.

Anyway, MooMoo's HAPPY with her timing since she didn't train much for it.

2011 Adidas Sundown 21km Results: 02:40:28s

It's really about 'Perseverance' and 'Endurance' towards the end of the finishing line.

* MooMoo thinks that the 2XU compression tights really works... it helps a lot in recovery and maybe a little in performance as well. MooMoo's calves and hamstrings didn't hurt that much compared to her 1st 25km run the week before.... Thumbs Up for the expensive tights!!! haha... ^=^

2XU Women's Elite Compression Tights

MooMoo recently just bought this '2XU Women's Elite Compression Tights' at the Run-Bike-Swim Expo during the 2011 Adidas Sundown race pack collection.

Not sure how good these tights are... but it is suppose to help in fast recovery and prevent injuries. It's an expensive tights... so it better work. MooMoo will know whether it is good or not this coming Saturday during the Adidas Sundown half marathon.

Following the measurement on the box, MooMoo am suppose to get 'M' size but the salesgirl actually asked her to take 'S' or 'XS' for a better compression effect. Hahaha... MooMoo think she better not try and squeeze herself like 'dumpling'.

* One thing MooMoo dislikes about this tights are that it would show every single tiny bulge that you have.... hahaha... BUT one thing for sure is that this long tights can work as sunblock without applying the sunblock lotion... ^=^

2011 Passion Run 25km Results

MooMoo so HAPPY to see her the results. MooMoo's timing is quite good despite all the stopping and walking towards the last lap of the run. At least, MooMoo's satisfied with the timing for her 1st 25km run.

MooMoo's Timing --->> 03:25:50s

MooMoo's no. 375 out of a total of 2799 runners. MooMoo noticed that about 40 runners gave up and a handful of them got missing timing. It's funny... coz most of the runners that gave up are Males. Hahaha... So what does it imply? Women have more endurance? That is why they are the ones that give birth to babies instead of the men? Hahaha...

* 2 more days to MooMoo's 1st half marathon.... TGIF tomorrow... ^=^

Cool Lock...

MooMoo like this 'Cool Lock' a lot. It's hassle free and easy to use. You can get it at 'DAISO' for just $2 per 3 pieces.

Another plus point is that you do not need to worry about the thickness of the plastic as the old type of lock that MooMoo had last time was the clipping version with different sizes and lengths. This one size fits all. If your bag of food is BIG... and you're Kiasu... you can use 2 of these 'Cool Lock' and lock it from both side, left and right. Hahaha...

Now, with this 'Cool Lock', MooMoo can keep her left over food still crispy or crunchy in the original packaging. ^=^

* sounds like MooMoo's doing advertising... haha... but just sharing...

A CUTE Gift from a Friend...

* Right now, it's sitting on MooMoo's workstation... haven't use any of the sticky notes yet... MooMoo wonders if people will get offended receiving such sticky note.... not everyone's sporting enough.... hahaha....

SAD news@Running Event: Passion Run 2011

MooMoo was really shock when she receive this piece of news from her buddy, Ms. Mo...

'55 year old Businessman died running 5km during Passion Run 2011'

This man actually collapsed due to sudden cardiac arrest about 300m reaching the finishing line. The medical staff there did what they can to save him but he could not regain consciousness. It took quite awhile to send him to the hospital due to the massive jam. MooMoo was there and recalled that the jam was terrible when she and her friends left the venue. Luckily, the taxi driver detour and took another route which save them from the jam.

It's really 'AMAZING' how people can simply comments on anything and everything, without really knowing what really happened. They can even link it to politics or saying that they should not organize running events that starts at 4pm. Well, they got a choice right?!? If they think the organization of the event is so bad... then don't join!!! Some even say that the man should not do such exercise at such age. Faint... Sometimes, things like these are just unpredictable. If it's meant to happen, it can happen anytime, anywhere and to anybody. =p

MooMoo wonder 'Do these people really CARE what's happening?!?'....

Anyway, may this guy's soul rest in peace...God bless him and his family members. ^=^

* It is always good to challenge your own limits but you just need to always listen to your own 'BODY' and 'HEART' when you're doing any forms of exercises.

Today's Horoscope

Stick your toes into the waters of variation today -- and try something new.

Are you living your life in constant motion? If you're feeling a bit stressed lately, it could be because you're doing way too many things on the go. It's time to get some things off your plate and delegate! Letting go of some of your work is not a sign that you can't handle the pressure, so don't worry what other people think. You have a reputation for being on the ball, and it won't suffer at all if you turn down the volume on what you're doing right now.

* hmm.... like for real huh?!? hahaha.... had good STEP class on both Mon and Tues night... BUT just dunno why MooMoo felt extremely tired and sick today.... almost wanted to puke during the STEP class. Felt much better after a can of 'JIA-JIA' liang cha...haha...

MooMoo Did It - Completed 1st 25km! ^=^

MooMoo's 3rd run in year 2011 -> SG Passion Run

At the starting point, waiting for the flag-off for the 3rd wave at 4:50pm. Thank GOD the weather was GREAT that day and it was really a plus point to complete the run smoothly.

The VIPs and officials flagging-off the race. Everyone was cheering but MooMoo and friends do not know who they are. Hahaha...
At the 1st drinking point, something to motivate the runners to continue running.... ^=^
1st lap of the race was still OK... MooMoo took about 55 mins to complete the 1st 8km, which took an average time of 7 mins per 1km. MooMoo was trying to find her pacer along the way but her pacer seems to disappear after awhile and she would have to find a new one. Either she is getting slower and slower or the pacer is getting faster and faster. Hahaha...
Another motivational quote along the way past 9km... Run Run Run... MooMoo see more and more people slowing down nearing to 10km marking... and people started to walk...
At last, MooMoo so happy to see 10km marking... another 15km to go... You can see people slowing down to rest... MooMoo took about 1 hour 10 mins to complete the 1st 10km.
I like this quote "Each race is a new race! Seize it. Live it." MooMoo thinks that each race is a totally NEW and DIFFERENT experience for her. ^=^
GREAT to see the 15km marking... 10km more to go!!! This guy looked so FIT right... Haha... didn't intend to take his backside... just so happened that he was walking beside the 15km marking when MooMoo snapped the picture.
MooMoo's legs getting more and more tired after 15km... but just gotta hang on for one last lap. The skies were getting darker and darker and this is how dark it is when MooMoo reached 21km marking.
MooMoo's shins were getting so tired that it felt like cramping at any moment. Luckily, it didn't cramped, else MooMoo would be limping all the way to the end of the race.
So HAPPY to see the 23km marking and MooMoo took about 3 hours 5 mins. 2km more to go... and MooMoo was basically walking and slow jog all the way as her legs were very tired already... It's all about 'PERSERVERANCE'!!!

MooMoo was so damn HAPPY when she saw the finishing line.... MooMoo did it!!! She completed her 1st 25km and there's a nice finisher-T plus a nice finisher medal! ^=^

* MooMoo looking forward to her next 1st half marathon next Sat night. She will be running it with Piggy. It will be Piggy's 1st half marathon too.

MooMoo's 1st 25km Race

Later this afternoon at 4:30pm, MooMoo will be doing her 1st 25km race. Bit 'kan-cheong' now... just had lunch and will start to get ready in awhile.

Well, last year MooMoo did a 30km but it was not a smooth run throughout. This is still the 1st 25km... Hahaha... coz never did a proper half marathon before the 30km so the last lap was quite suffering. For this 25km, MooMoo will treat it like a training run for next week's 1st half marathon for Adidas Sundown, which she is looking forward to it. The target today will be completing the race smoothly and with injury free.

This will be the 1st time MooMoo not wearing the event running vest coz the actual cutting is smaller by 1 size. Really disappointing as it's MooMoo's favourite colour. Well, MooMoo can still fit in it but don't think is a good idea to run with a tight fitting vest for 25km. If it is a 10km race, MooMoo would still consider. Really don't want this running vest to be an excuse for MooMoo not completing the race. Too bad... so she will be wearing her favourite 2XU.

The weather seems to be quite good now... cooling after rain. Hope that it will stay good all the way till tonight. Cloudy with no rain. Definitely will be a plus point without Mr. Sun around.

Thank GOD for everything!! Wish MooMoo all the best of LUCK!! ^=^

M.A.D.

You can either....

Make A Difference...

'OR'

Make A Disaster...

Really M.A.D. huh?!? =p

* TGIF!!! So Happy... Piggy is returning from Kimchi-land tomorrow but think MooMoo might just be meeting the zZz Piggy when she back tomorrow... hahaha... 2 more days to MooMoo's 1st 25km on Sat afternoon. Very kan-cheong... hope that she can complete it smoothly...

Fighting Porcupines!!!

that MooMoo likes....

The best mirror in the world is an old friend.

A best friend can tell you things you don’t want to tell yourself.

Best friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway.

A true friend is someone you can disagree with and still remain friends.If not, they weren’t true friends in the first place.

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn’t jump with them, I’d be at the bottom to catch them.

* Ms. Mo once told MooMoo that they are like 2 porcupines... when 2 porcupines gets too close to each other, what would happen?!? They would feel the pain coz they would prick each other without realizing it... Hahaha... ^=^

E.L.E.V.A.T.O.R.

ELEVATOR

--- by David Archuleta

woah oh oh ohhh

I had a dream last night
I didn't know which floor to get off on, heyyyeyy
The doors, they opened on 4 and 5 and 6
And you were gone, all gone

I didn't understand
I didn't wanna know
At least I took a chance
I had to let it go

[Chorus]
Elevator goes up
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Until your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

And in my dream last night
The doors they finally shut and I was there, somewhere
Alone in my reality inside an empty box
That's filled with air
But I don't care, noooo

Next time I'll get it right
Next time I'll be okay
I'll have a different dream tonight
Tomorrow's another day

[Chorus]
Elevator goes up (elevator goes up)
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Until your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

You'll never know
What you're gonna get
What you don't expect will come and find you
If you laugh or cry
If you run and hide
But it's all right

[Chorus]
Elevator goes up
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Until your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

* Sometimes everyday in Life's like an 'Elevator'... you never know which door will open.... how long to wait and who will come in and goes out of the Elevator... does it stop at each floor or it goes smoothly all the way to the floor you wish to reach?!? MooMoo and her analogy again... LOL... ^=^

If you're feeling LOW...

If you're feeling Low...

--- by Susan Enan

The sea of change is coming and you think you're gonna drown
Sea of change is coming and you think you're gonna drown
If you're feeling low, don't let it get you down

Everything was different when you went back home to town
Everything was different when you went back home to town
If you're feeling low, don't let it get you down

You're looking for the answers but they don't want to be found
Looking for the answers but they don't want to be found
If you're feeling low, don't let it get you down

When everything seems driven by the dollars and the pounds
When everything seems driven by the dollars and the pounds
If you're feeling low, don't let it get you down

Today will be a shadow when tomorrow comes around
Today will be a shadow when tomorrow comes around
If you're feeling low, don't let it get you down
If you're feeling low, don't let it get you down

* MooMoo hopes Cartoon gets well soon... he must have worked too hard and getting too stressed out lately... Everyone just gets sick when they are too stressed out... whether physically or mentally. Hope Ms. Mo and friends reached the Mt KK peak safely tomorrow morning to see the egg yolk!! ^=^

The Lobsterman

MooMoo and family went to 'The Lobsterman' for dinner to celebrate MooMoo's brother's birthday. This is the 2nd time MooMoo went there for dinner.

MooMoo haven't been eating her favourite Seafood for quite some time already. Well, this Lobster, which is known as 'King of Seafood' is sort of temporary replacement of all the seafood that MooMoo missed so much. Hahaha...

Baked Escargot/New Zealand Mussels

Soup of the Day

Live Atlantic Lobster (550g)

* Choose your own choice of cooking from the menu

Seafood Rice/Pasta

Dessert of the Day

Coffee/Tea

Set for 2 is about RM128++ and Set for 4 is about RM218++ subject to tax and service charge.

The Lobsters were expensive but 'YUMMY'!!! MooMoo likes the Lobster Sashimi and the Lobster Porridge. The Sashimi were very fresh and the porridge were so thick and rich with the Lobster taste. MooMoo's brother loves the Lobster Yee-Mee.

If you would like to try it out, you can find 'THE LOBSTERMAN' at the following address:-

-->> If Lobster is placed on its back for a few minutes, it will be off to light sleep mode.

-->> Lobster can come in every other colour except for RED when they are alive. They only turn to RED colour when they're cooked. Hahaha...

QUIZ:

Guess what's a female LOBSTER called?!?

MooMoo's Back... ^=^

MooMoo's back to Lion City after 3 days of non-stop eating in Cat City. Think MooMoo had put on few kgs after all the never ending food, though she didn't get to eat every single food she wanted to eat. Thanks to all her great friends back there who ferry her everywhere she goes!

MooMoo almost need to spend another day at Cat City coz she almost missed her flight. She reached the check-in counter on the dot right before they close the counter. Her friend and her miscalculated the time and didn't expect unforeseen traffic jam. Can you believe it... now even Kuching have traffic jam. Haha...

After all the rush to the airport, Tiger Airways flight was delay for at least half an hour. Luckily still made it on time to be home around 7pm++. She wanted to rush to her favourite Step class at 9pm.

MooMoo was a bit disappointed last night coz after all the rush to the gym... her favourite instructor fell sick and could not teach that night. It was replaced by another instructor. = ((

Almost wanted to 'boycott' today's class... haha.. but still end up at gym today.

Anyway, MooMoo forgive and forget today coz today's STEP class was GREAT!! ^=^

Everything is compensated with today's choreo and MooMoo had lots of fun...

* Now, MooMoo is trying to adjust her mood to go back to work tomorrow... Sigh... Mon Blues on a Wed... hahaha...

A Little Too Much?!?

A Little Too MUCH...

--- by Natasha Bedingfield

Sometimes it hits like a car crash
And it's to late to reverse
Sometimes you make me a better person
Sometimes you bring out the worst
Sometimes we get on like fire
Sometimes we're stubborn like rain
Just when I think it's over, over
You wave a white flag again
Aaa, aaa
We follow thing we fall back in
Aaa, aaa
We're always back where we begin...

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
It's wonderful to fall
It's worth of risking all
I'd rather love just a little too much...

Sometimes we're trapped in the circle
'Til we're digging holes in the ground
We're trying, but nothing is working
But still I want you around
'Cause if I'm lost in the desert
I know somehow you'll find me
And if I drown in the oceans,

You'll be the first to rescue me...

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
It's wonderful to fall
It's worth of risking all
I'd rather love just a little too much
Woooooooah, woooooooah, woooooooah, woooooooah....

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
Aaa, aaa
We follow thing we fall back in
Aaa, aaa
We're always back where we begin...

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
It's wonderful to fall
It's worth of risking all
Even if it hurts just a little too much
I'd rather love just a little too much...

* Soundtrack of this movie "Something Borrowed"... adaptation from a book...

My Honeymoon Dessert@Kuchai Lama

There's this famous dessert shop called 'Honeymoon Dessert' from Hong Kong and there are branches in Lion City. My gym buddy and housemates love the desserts there.

Anyway, when MooMoo was back in KL, she met up with her ex-colleague. She brought MooMoo to this dessert shop called 'My Honeymoon Dessert'. MooMoo thought it's the same honeymoon shop but apparently, similar name but different.

This particular shop have MORE choices and desserts are YUMMY.... but... OMG!!! the pricing is really scary... one dessert can cost you up till RM20 to RM30. Nowadays, people are really more willing to pay more for their food.

This is how the interior of the shop looks like. Quite a cozy place... We went there around 9pm and the shop was quite empty but when it hit past 10pm, the place started to get crowded.

MooMoo love this 'Mango Special Coconut Drink'. It's YUMMY!!! And there's mini 'tong yuen' inside other than the mango bits.... the combination is just nice....

This is what MooMoo's friend ordered. Mango with Pamelo. It tasted quite good as well but MooMoo prefer the drink version.

MooMoo and her friend shared this dessert 'Sweet Balls with Crushed Peanuts'. This particular dessert is just 'so-so'...

* Blogging on FOOD really makes MooMoo hungry.... tummy growling dy... hahaha...

1st time in History: 3rd position in a 10km Race...

MooMoo was just complaining about the 'SG Best Friend Run' the other day... and today, when she received SMS from Ms. Mo, she almost fainted and thought Ms. Mo was kidding.

Ms. Mo and MooMoo actually got 3rd position in the SG Best Friend Run for the 10km buddy category... 3rd position out of a total of 12 teams in the women buddy category.

MooMoo's Timing : 01:31:16

Ms. Mo's Timing : 01:30:20

This is the worst timing for the 10km run. Thanks to the 'not-so-obvious' U-Turn marker and missing volunteers in place. Anyway, if not because of Ms. Mo, Mrs. Chicky and aunty, MooMoo would have just give up on the run. At least, MooMoo can see that aunty really enjoyed herself and was very HAPPY that day.

3rd position prize is $80 and the organizer will be sending the cheque to us as we left the event shortly after the run. Come on... would MooMoo ever imagine winning with that kinda timing?!? Else, they would have stayed back and they could be on the stage taking picture for the 1st time. Hahaha... This is really 'JOKE of the day!'....

* At least, MooMoo got back her refund indirectly... paid $40 for the race and getting back the refund in the form of prize $$$.... ^=^

Cat City Here MooMoo comes...

MooMoo can't wait to go back to 'Miaw-Miaw' city to visit all her very missed buddies and eat all the yummy good food. Can't really recall when was the last time she's back there. So looking forward to the trip this coming Fri... ^=^

* MooMoo is thinking of all the food she wants to eat: Kolo Mee, Laksa, Beef Noodle, Rojak, Char Kueh Tiaw, Tomato Kueh Tiaw, etc... it's really making her saliva dripping now... hahaha...

What's the other side of 'DOWN'?

The other side of 'DOWN'

--- by David Archuleta

Down(Down), Down(Down), Down(Down), Down(Down)

Here I am with all these questions hanging from my ceiling low
And one day they'll keep telling me I told you so
Everywhere I turn I see red lights flashing over my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no
In a whirl-wind spinning yeah somehow it knocked me off my feet
But I know better than to let it get the best of me,
I could give up, I could stay stuck, or I could move on

So I put one foot front of the other,
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down

In the sky, Im standing under all I see is endless rain
I think I spot a silver light hiding in the grey
I might get tossed around, but I'm always bouncing back
oh.oh.oh
I could give up, I could stay stuck, or I could move on,

So I put one foot front of the other,
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down

On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be
On The other side of down
it keeps calling me
where I wanna be
where I wanna be

Ohhh I put one foot front of the other,
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down

* What goes UP must come DOWN... same goes the other way... That's just Reality... There's always UPs and DOWNs in everything... Here's some random quotes that MooMoo likes...

Things are gonna get 'BETTER'...

Things are gonna get 'BETTER'...

--- by David Archuleta

Yeah, yeah. Mmm hmm.
Everybody's got a time in their life
When everything hurts and nothing's right.
But you gotta walk on, yeah you gotta walk on.

Everybody's got a piece of their heart
That's been stepped on and torn apart.
But you gotta move on, yeah you gotta walk on.

Cause I, know, it's hard to have the strength and,
Sometimes, all you feel is pain, but,
Things keep floating by on that river in the night.

But I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know things are gonna get better.
Life is gonna get better, yeah we're gonna be fine.

Everybody's got that one regret, no matter how they try, they can't forget.
But you gotta move on, yeah you gotta move on.
And everybody's got someone they've lost,
And they can't believe they're really gone.
But you gotta live on, yeah you gotta live on.

Cause I, know, it's hard to have the strength and,
Sometimes, all you feel is pain, but,
Things keep floating by on that river in the night.

But I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know things are gonna get better.
Life is gonna get better, yeah we're gonna be fine.

And I know there's hope.
I see it in your eyes.
So take me, touch me.
Cause with a little bit of love, we can win the fight.
With a little bit of love we can see the light.
With a little bit of love it'll be alright.

I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know things are gonna get better.
Life is gonna get better, yeah we're gonna be fine.

Walk, walk, walk the line and,
keep, keep, keep walking on.
Keep, keep, keep walking on.

* MooMoo really like this guy... just hope that this SEASON of Life is going to change to a better one soon... MooMoo knows that she can't judge it all with just one BAD season...

Complain... Complain... Complain...

COMPLAIN

--- by David Archuleta

Mmmmm
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, mmm

How many times have you said
If I just had one more dollar in my pocket
Know that I felt the same
How many time have you dreamed
That you could pack up and leave
Just run away from your troubles
Baby I can’t complain

‘Cause I don’t always get everything I wanted
Doesn’t turn out just the way I thought it
All should be
Baby, I can’t complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
No way
Baby, I can’t complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can’t complain

Have you ever believed
That it’s just not your day
Like the world is against you
You Know we’ve all felt that way
So far away from my home
And everything that I love
But as long as I’m breathing
Baby, I can’t complain

‘Cause I don’t always get everything I wanted
Doesn’t turn out just the way I thought it
All should be
Baby, I can’t complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
No way
Baby, I can’t complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can’t complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way

Any time, any minute now
We could fall, it could all crash down
But I’m not gonna end it that way-ay-ay
No Way

‘Cause I don’t always get everything I wanted
Doesn’t turn out just the way I thought it
All should be
Baby, I can’t complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
No way
Baby, I can’t complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can’t complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can’t complain

* Complain => To express feelings of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment. Hmm... Complain = completely pain only?!? Hahaha... Guess being in a city that's famous in complaints... you tend to complain more huh?!? ^=^

FIREWORKS

FIREWORKS

--- by Kate Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

* Everyone is 'SPECIAL' in their own ways... Light up the spark within you and SHINE across the sky... keep the 'FIREWORKS' going... ^=^

The Lost Bladesman

MooMoo went to watch her super HERO 'Donnie Yen' in 'The Lost Bladesman' with Ms. Mo last Sunday afternoon after the 'Best Friend Run 2011'.

Both were so tired after the run in the HOT sun but luckily didn't fall asleep in the movies coz of action packed movie and of course for MooMoo, how can she zZz watching her hero. ^=^

This story is about the life of 'Guan Yu' or also known as 'Guan Yuan Chang', a famous war lord in the story of 'The 3 Kingdoms'. MooMoo don't read Chinese History and do not know anything about the story at all. Some who read the story find it very disappointing after watching the movie. For MooMoo, she's just there to watch the movie and see how her hero doing all the fighting scenes and all.

To some extent, MooMoo also agree with some people that her hero does not potray 'Guan Yu' very well because of his small built. 'Guan Yu' or more known as 'Kwan Kong' is suppose to be a tall guy with big built, red face and long lush beard. Anyway, MooMoo is sure LOTS of people go watch this movie is due to super HERO 'Donnie Yen'. Kekeke...

Well, personally MooMoo was not really that impressed with this show compared to 'Ip Man'. . The fighting scenes were OK and there are some humor here and there BUT guess MooMoo expected more than this. MooMoo would give this show a rating of 6.5/10.

* hope that there's more of 'Donnie Yen's kungfu shows to come... ^=^

3km in 45 mins?!?

MooMoo did the Best Friend Run 2011 with Ms. Mo, Mrs. Chicky and Mrs. Chicky's mommy today. The weather was pretty good BUT the run was a bit disappointing. MooMoo thought of testing out her new PEGASUS 28's performance for its 1st official run but the timing sucks due to some technical errors. =p

Overall, the run was OK BUT the volunteers at the U-Turn point was late and most of the runners over-shoot and missed the U-Turn and there was not much signage. For the 10km runners, all are supposed to do 2 loops while the 15km runners to do 3 loops. By the time MooMoo and Ms. Mo realized it and turned back it was kinda too late. It was pretty de-motivating when MooMoo saw the 3km marking and it was already past 45 mins from the starting time. = ((

While running the 1st loop, the drinking booth was not even ready. Can you believe it?!? MooMoo was like dying of thirst in the hot sun as we started the run about 7:50am. And at 5km distance, they gave out small bottle of drinking water and MooMoo didn't realize that they gave it out without the bottle cap. MooMoo spilt some water on herself running with it. MooMoo requested for the cap at the next drinking booth. After running for an hour, MooMoo 'tak tahan' already, went to buy herself a bottle of cold 100 plus. It really works wonder... without the 100 plus, think she would just give up already.

The doggies are all so cute. Some of the doggies almost died running the 2km. MooMoo saw one poor doggy panting hard at the end of the run and all four legs were shaking terribly. What a torture to them... Ms. Mo was saying that the doggies are so obedient... running together with their master. Hmm... I don't think some of the doggies would love this running event if they were not forced to run. Hahaha... Mrs. Chicky saw some doggies were reluctant to run at the starting line when their master pulled them along.

There are some doggies which are really fit. There's this dog that belong to this 'angmo' actually ran 10km with the master instead of the 2km. GENG!!! And check out this doggie... so cute ya...wearing Adidas running top... ^=^

This is how the finisher medal look like... nothing fancy but at least there's a finisher medal and there's a finisher T - plain white T with a small BestFriendRun logo at the side.


* Did more than 10km this morning and timing definitely out... so sad...think the 15km people almost did half marathon already... hahaha.... Hope it will be a better one the next run. Mrs. Chicky and her mommy completed their 1st 5km in 45 mins.... Can you believe it?!? It's the SAME timing for MooMoo to complete her 3km... Arrgghhh!!!! This will be the 1st and last time for this event. =p

Clean City? Check out the River...

Look at how 'DIRTY' the river in Lion City... a city known for its cleanliness. The surrounding is so beautiful with the Marina Bay Sands and all but looking at the river make MooMoo so disgusted.



* Took this picture while waiting for Piggy's ex-hubby to complete his last loop... hehe...

PEGASUS 28

MooMoo just bought her NEW pair of "NIKE -> PEGASUS 28" today.


This is like "LOVE at 1st Sight". MooMoo saw this pair of new shoes last month and she liked it very much but did not buy them coz it's kinda expensive and she got her ASICS and NEW BALANCE. ASICS and NEW BALANCE are not really her favourite.

ASICS -> Bought coz suppose to be good for running. Dunno why love just grew apart after awhile...not due to 3rd party.
NEW BALANCE -> FREE from company due to Women10K run. Not so pretty but serves quite well and it's Trail shoes.
ADIDAS -> Loves this one but only good for TRAINING (max 5km) and GYM classes especially STEP.

MooMoo used to have a pair of Nike Pegasus old version and she loves it so much BUT had to say buh-bye to them after 2 years. As usual, NIKE always looks good but could not last long. Sad to say... MooMoo go for both inside and outside... It would be BEST if it's good for running and looks good as well. Hahaha...

After gym today, MooMoo's gym buddy just casually ask if wanna go check out the NIKE store nearby so MooMoo said OK. When they were at the NIKE store, MooMoo look at her favourite shoes again. Then, suddenly this girl nudge MooMoo and ask if she was going for a run later. MooMoo was surprised and later found out that the girl meant the 'NIKE GODDESS RUN" this evening. She almost wanted to join the run but the registration was closed before she managed to register. The girl was so NICE coz due to the running event, she get to have 30% discount on all NIKE stuff and today was the last day so she told MooMoo to tag on her discount code if wanna get any NIKE stuff.

YIPPEE!! Thanks to the NICE girl, MooMoo got her Pegasus 28 at a good price. That girl made MooMoo's day. It got even better when MooMoo treat herself a cup of her favourite Iced Coffee from GONG CHA.

Well, this is really like unpredictable but destined "FATE", which united MooMoo and her "PEGASUS 28". ^=^


* MooMoo is thinking is it a good idea to get the Nike+ wrist band to keep her running log but meaning she will always have to run with her NIKE to track the miles?!?

BestFriend Run 2011

BestFriend Run 2011

This is the 1st time MooMoo joining this doggie-friendly run but she's not running with a dog as she does not have one. Hahaha... MooMoo will be running with her good buddy, Ms. Mo. Guess they can enjoy watching all the cute doggies during the run as she heard from a friend that there were about close to a 100 doggies registered for the run.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Chicky will be doing her 1st run with MooMoo. Mrs. Chicky supposed to be running with her sister but last minute, sister cannot make it. Substitute => Mrs. Chicky's mommy. I hope aunty don't pengsan the next day after the event. MooMoo remembered aunty telling her that she very active and can really run when she was young but that was like donkey years ago. Well, carrying and chasing after Chicky Pie is also a form of exercise. Hahaha...

Just hope that tomorrow's weather is good like today and everyone will have FUN during the event. ^=^

* MooMoo going to see her IDOL (Lengchai Donnie Yen) after her run tomorrow... so HAPPY!!!

4 Fingers ->> Yummy!!!

Last night, MooMoo went to eat 4 Fingers Bonchon Crispy Chicken. It's sinful but YUMMY!!! If Piggy is here, she would love it.

4 FINGERS -> * MooMoo: Thumbs Up!

4Fingers is like KFC with a Korean twist. Hahaha... Though, it is Korean-style fried chicken... don't think they have it in Korea so Piggy would not be able to taste it in Kimchi-land. Next time, will bring her there to eat the crispy, crunchy chicken.

The chicken wings are only available in 2 flavours, which is SOYA GARLIC and HOT. Personally, MooMoo likes the spicy ones but MooMoo's friend can't eat spicy stuff so they prefer the SOYA GARLIC. Other than these chicken wings, you can also try other stuff like the Kimchi Coleslaw, Tofu Rice box and she quite like the Calamari and Shrimp. Have not try out the Kimchi Coleslaw and Tofu Rice box yet though but the fries are just so so only.

If you're interested to try out this, you can go to ION Orchard at Basement 4 (B4).

* MooMoo wonders is it because of too much fast food last night... that this morning she can't really run?!?

When you push your 'LIMITS'...

This morning, MooMoo went for a morning run with Piggy's ex-hubby. The weather was beautiful but it was pretty HOT around 8am. This picture taken around 7:15am just before we started our run. Beautiful, ain't it?!?

We forgot that it was a Public Holiday today due to the Singapore General Election Day and the gym will be opened at 8am instead of 6am. Luckily, Piggy's ex-hubby brought his office tag as he is going to work after the run, so we left all our bags at his office. Just that we wasted some time walking to and fro to put and collect our bags.

Initially, MooMoo wanted to run for about 10km BUT after doing 2 loops, she's kinda out of breath. She remembered doing 4 loops before but she didn't feel this tired... For the 1st loop, they were on the same pace BUT in the mid of 2nd loop, MooMoo drift further behind. Hahaha... but catch up at the end but a bit half dead... ended up resting while Piggy's ex-hubby continued another loop himself.

Then, she realized something... OMG!!! When she checked the timing and the distance, she actually took 45mins to complete 8.4km. It's really AMAZING!!! Meaning, if she can complete 8.4km within 45 mins... she could easily complete 10km within 60 mins (her TARGET yet to hit) if she can keep up. Usually, her fastest time for 5km is 35 mins and it's so DAMN hard to even shed off a minute.

Well, this proves that we can all go further if we really push our own limits. Hahaha... Guess, next time should go training with Piggy's ex-hubby more to improve my timing. Had a good stretch at Balance class and great workout at Step class after that.

* Not sure why, each time after MooMoo finish running, she always feels hungry and keep eating non stop. This is BAD...BAD... BAD!!! Hahaha... Some more, last nite ate sinful food. Now, feeling hungry again...

Growing Pains...

Time really flies... 2 more months to go and it will be 1 year since MooMoo last go "BALD" for a cause to support the children with Cancer. Through this event, she have learnt a lot of things...good and bad... gaining and losing some things along the way. And in some ways, she also have her own discoveries on certain areas and it also made her see things more clearly with her heart instead of her eyes. MooMoo is like going through 'Growing Pains'... where she not only growing back her hair but also growing herself.

Well, life is short and unpredictable... therefore, we must always try to live our life to the fullest with no regrets. It's always easier said than done. Of course, there are thing which you really, really, really wish to change but some are just beyond your control. Some you just got to learn to live with it... or you just got to learn how to see it differently from another perspective.... or to face the challenge in different ways. You can do it slowly but never to give up totally. You just will not know what's the outcome if you never try it out at all. At least, after you have tried and it does not work, you will have no regrets.

It's rather tough when you yourself or your loved ones are diagnosed with Cancer. Not only the Cancer patients will be suffering but also their family members. You can imagine that it would be even tougher for a little kid to fight the disease when they are still at such innocent age. Sometimes, the little kids are even stronger than adults in some ways... you'll be surprised... BUT they will still need LOTS of SUPPORT from family and friends... as well as all the good people out there.

Anyway, to all who is fighting Cancer out there, "DON'T GIVE UP & KEEP FIGHTING!!!" There's LOTs of tomorrow for you... Where there's a WILL, there's always a HOPE...

Anyone wanna join MooMoo to be a 'SHAVEE' this year for a good cause?!? LOSE some HAIR to give some HOPE!!! ^=^
