Off to Kimchi-Land... ^=^

MooMoo is flying off to Kimchi-Land tomorrow to meet Piggy. ^=^

* Not sure why this time the feeling is just bit different from usual holiday mood... really can't explain it... anyway, hope MooMoo will have a hell of a good time there... eating, shopping and enjoying every single bit of the trip!!!

Adidas King of the Road 2011 Results

Wow! Adidas is efficient... The results are out already.

The results is better than what MooMoo expected. ^=^

Timing: 01:57:45s

Hmm... MooMoo is ranked no. 93. Hey.. 1st time in top 100. Not sure how many female participants in this event though. Maybe is just under non-Singaporean category. Hahaha.

* Next race is "Yellow Ribbon Run 2011" on 18 Sept 2011. No more time for training as MooMoo will be in Kimchi-land meeting up with Piggy... happily eating and shopping... hahaha. Hmm... maybe training by doing 'Shopping-Marathon'...LOL!! =p

Adidas King of the Road 2011

Another race to add to MooMoo's list. 1st 16.8km race and it's a good warm up for the coming 21km at the end of this year. MooMoo had a good run this morning as the weather was pretty good. MooMoo realized that she felt pretty tired towards the 2nd half of the race... Guess it does make a difference when MooMoo slack from her gym for about 1 week. Hahaha.

This time, MooMoo reached early before the race and managed to get in the 1st Wave of the race at 7am. MooMoo met quite a number of people along the race this morning.

The race was pretty colourful with everyone wearing Adidas running-T in different colours. MooMoo likes the running-T a lot... the colour and the design.

MooMoo likes the finisher medal as it is pretty special. It's not the usual potrait type but it is in landscape. Below is the front and back of the finisher medal.

* MooMoo always find it a challenge to complete the remaining half of her race, no matter how many KMs she ran... guess it's all in the MIND. MooMoo didn't manage to hit her target timing this round. Need to try harder the next time. Ganbatte!!! ^=^

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

Yummy MOCHI!!!

MooMoo don't know since when she loves the Taiwan MOCHI so much... especially the ones from Hualien. Mochi is actually a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape. * definition from Wikipedia.

Thanks to her one of her Gym Buddy whom just came back from Taiwan recently, MooMoo got a bag of Mochi all to herself. Yummy Yummy!!!

It had all kinds of flavour... like Green Tea, Wasabi, Barley, Orange, Mango... but too bad.. there's no MooMoo's favourite Peanut flavour. Anyway, they are all good to eat. MooMoo ate so much of it... now only left less than 10 packets.

* Gosh... think MooMoo slept too much last night... woke up at 1pm today... not sleepy yet now... Help!!! Tomorrow morning MooMoo have a race of 16.8km at 7am... Hope MooMoo will have a good run tomorrow with great weather!! ^=^

MoonCake Making-FUN 4 MooMoo ^=^

MooMoo had LOTS of FUN making MoonCakes today. ^=^

It's the 1st time MooMoo's learning how to make Mooncakes. MooMoo was invited to this event called "We Care! To Make Mooncakes" organized by the "National Population and Talent Division" in Singapore.

Before we start making the Mooncakes, MooMoo had some tea with some new friends she met there. The tea was being served by this guy with a long nose teapot. It's really cool... MooMoo took a picture of him serving tea. When he poured the tea, the water was swirling in the cup all the way without spilling any drop of it.

Everyone was divided into their teams and they were a total of 3 tables with 5 to 6 groups. There were only 5 members in MooMoo's 'English Speaking' table. 2 were from Switzerland and another 2 from Korea. MooMoo called it the 'English Speaking' table because all the chefs are from China and do not speak English. There's one guy at our table translating everything that the Chef said from Mandarin to English.

The Chef started by explaining on the stages of the Mooncake making. MooMoo expected to learn making Mooncakes from scratch but... too bad... they already got all the dough and fillings ready. MooMoo only got to put them together. Hahaha. It looks easy but it ain't that easy till you get the hang out of it... especially on the moulding part.

The Chef said that MooMoo's team did very well. MooMoo's team were very organized and we made the most Mooncakes though our team had the least members. There were a few stages in the Mooncake making... i.e. Cutting and weighing the Mooncake dough and fillings, Wrapping up the fillings with the dough and lastly, getting it in and out of the mould.

MooMoo's team managed to make about 1 1/2 tray of Mooncakes, which is about 80 Mooncakes within an hour.

The Chef complimented on the Mooncakes that MooMoo's team made. They looked pretty good in shape for 1st timers.

After that, all the Mooncakes were sent to oven for baking. These are the Mooncakes specially prepared for us. MooMoo just got to know that freshly baked Mooncakes cannot be eaten. They have to be left in the air conditioned room for a few days before being packaged.

The Mooncakes that we made will also be packaged in this way. Then, it will be delivered to the needy families to celebrate the "Mooncake Festival". The hotel actually sponsor the total amount of Mooncakes that we made on top of the ones that we made. In total, we had actually made 425 Mooncakes so the Hotel will deliver 850 pieces of Mooncakes to the needy families.

After the Mooncake making session, all were treated to High Tea at the hotel. MooMoo took a picture on one of the cute dish "Porcupine Lotus Pau". Cute huh?!? hahaha... After eating the sumptious meal, everyone bid farewell and headed home with their Mooncakes.

All were also given some door gifts, which is a 2Gb thumb drive and a key pouch. MooMoo had a great experience, lots of fun, filled tummy and a bag of goodies. It was a meaningful event, by not only learning how to make Mooncakes but being able to let the needy families enjoying the Mooncakes that MooMoo made. ^=^

WORDS...

WORDS

--- by Train

I'd give anything
But I won't give up on you
I'd say anything
But not goodbye
I will roll with your changes
And I'm always on your side

And theres not a word that I've ever heard that will
make me change my mind

Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood, and let them burn

Like stones in your pocket, people try to wear you down
Someone always wants to take the love you've found
So lets roll with these changes
And I want you by my side
And theres not a word that I've ever heard that can
make me change my mind

Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words stop you from feeling good
Use them as firewood, and let them burn
Let them burn, Let them burn

And underneath every word
Somebody's heart been broken
With or without words, we try to forget
Words they'll try to shake us
Don't let them break us
Or stop our world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood
And let them burn

Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you or stop your world
Stop your world from turning 'round
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood
Let them burn, let them burn
Let them burn

* Wow! Time really flies... It's exactly 1 year since MooMoo's LASIK... Well, so far so good... MooMoo's eyes are doing fine and it's really very convenient after the surgery... worth the bit of initial suffering and cost... LOL. And today's exactly 1 month since MooMoo's shaving... 10 more days to go and it will be 4 years... MooMoo working in Lion City... so unbelievable... =p

CRY

--- by Rihanna

I’m not the type to get my heart broken
I’m not the type to get upset and cry
Coz I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye
Relationships don’t get deep to me
Never get the whole in love thing
If someone could say love me truly
But at the time it didn’t mean a thing

My mind is gone
I’m spinnin’ around
And deep inside
My tears I’ll drown
I’m losing grip
What’s happening?
I stray from love
This is how I feel

Chorus:
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And they cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I’m in this condition
And I’ve got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you’ll never see me cry

Did it happen when we first kissed?
coz its hurting me to let it go
maybe coz we spent so much time
and I know that it’s no more
I should have never let u hold me baby
Maybe why I’m so sad to see us apart
I didn’t give it to u on purpose
Gotta figure out how u stole my heart

My mind is gone
I’m spinnin’ around
And deep inside
My tears I’ll drown
I’m losing grip
What’s happening?
I stray from love
This is how I feel

Chorus:
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And they cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I’m in this condition
And I’ve got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you’ll never see me cry

How did I get here with you?
I’ll never know
I never meant to let it get so personal
And after all I tried to do
To stay away from love with you
I’m broken-hearted
I can’t let you know
And I Won’t Let It Show
You won’t see me cry

Chorus x3:
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And they cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I’m in this condition
And I’ve got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you’ll never see me cry

Now I’m in this condition
And I’ve got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you’ll never see me cry

All my life

BLUE...

MooMoo just feel a bit BLUE today... even after her favourite STEP class... maybe due to the Monday effect or Aunty Blues... Hahaha... MooMoo wish that she's at this 'Far... Far... Away... Place' now... away from everything and free from all the complications.

* Looking forward to Kimchi-land getaway...1 more week to go...^=^

Climbing & Abseiling for the 1st Time

MooMoo had some adrenaline rush today. MooMoo had signed up this '4 hours Climbing & Abseiling' program for half the price deal from 'GroupOn' website, together with Ms. Mo.

This is MooMoo's virgin rock-climbing and abseiling. It's pretty scary but it was quite FUN and MooMoo had a Great Experience. MooMoo learnt the basics of the climbing equipments and how to handle them, as well as how to put them on. i.e. how to put on the helmet, the harness and how to handle the carabiners and belay devices, etc.

After briefing everyone, all were to put on their helmets and harnesses respectively. All were splitted into 2 groups, one doing the climbing and the other doing the abseiling.

Each climber will need a supporter behind them when they start their climb to avoid the sudden fall and for safety purposes. Each climber would require a belayer to help keep the rope taut and prevents long falls. Before each climb, all is required to check the readiness of the belayer and the carabiners are fully locked for safety.

Everyone is suppose to climb all the way to the TOP and touch the last rock there before shouting "FALLING" to the Belayer, so that the Belayer would let you descend slowly.

This is MooMoo's favourite Belayer. He's a nice guy and MooMoo finds that he's more PRO compared to the rest. Hahaha... Ms. Mo said MooMoo is bias but come on, he's not lengchai so nothing to be biased against. LOL. He helped MooMoo a lot during the climbing and abseiling.

This is MooMoo doing the climbing. Gosh... it really looks so easy but it's really tougher than expected. After doing this activity, MooMoo realized that her arms strength really sucks. MooMoo's perseverance and endurance to push all the way is not strong enough, plus really no more energy. Got Heart, No Energy... MooMoo only managed to climb till the 2nd last box to the top. Hahaha. Salute Ms. Mo to reach the TOP. Geng!!!

This little 'ANGMO' girl is real good. She climbs like a monkey all the way up with her older sister. Guess one thing good being a kid is that you're not scared of anything. Funny... she's wearing a monkey T-shirt. So cute!!! She did the climbing and abseiling so many times... going up and down... Shame on MooMoo... kekeke.

Next, after the climbing... MooMoo moved on to the Abseiling part, which is the other side of the wall. MooMoo prefers this part but Ms. Mo hated this part as she prefers the climbing. MooMoo felt that for this Abseiling, the challenge is the 1st part of jumping down. The guy was asking MooMoo to step back but there's nothing behind...how to step back?!? Hahaha... but after doing the 2nd time, getting the techniques right, it's not that bad after all.

These 2 girls were doing quite well, with both the Climbing and the Abseiling. MooMoo met them during the activity and they were very friendly and sporting. Thanks to them for helping MooMoo taking some of the pictures.

Lastly, this is MooMoo doing the 2nd time Abseiling before heading home. MooMoo trying to make her $$$ paid worthwhile so must do Climbing and Abseiling each at least 2 times. MooMoo paid $45 for this 4 hours. It was tiring but MooMoo had FUN!!! MooMoo's arms still aching now. Next time, MooMoo must train hard on her arms to make them stronger to be able to climb all the way to the top. ^=^

* MooMoo finds that in order to Climb and Abseil, one must really banish the 'FEAR' in them in order to go further. Sometimes, it is the 'FEAR' in ourselves that hinder us from going further and achieving what we could have achieve. Guess, it could apply to our daily LIFE as well... in some ways. ^=^

I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window

Drench yourself in words unspoken

* "You never know how 'STRONG' you are... until 'Being STRONG' is the only Choice you have..." Here's some random Life Quotes that MooMoo likes... ^=^

"It's Better to be Weird than to be Ordinary... Ordinary is Boring..." ... so it's OK to be Weird... LOL...

"It's easy to stand with the Crowd but it takes Courage to stand Alone." ... you're not ALONE with all your GREAT Friends around you... it's OK to have your own Views on things...

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not." ... don't always set limits to your ownself and restrict yourself from going further... always try to go beyond the limits... you never know where it would take you... if you never try... and there's no harm trying... if you failed, it's just another valuable experience.

Ice Milk Tea... *SLURRRPPP!!

MooMoo just LOVES Ice Milk Tea so much... can't recall when did she fell in LOVE with it. Ms. Mo always said that it is like poison or drugs, the way MooMoo's addicted to it. Hahaha... Ice Milk Tea at MOS is GOOD!!! MooMoo loves Ice Milk Tea the way she loves eating Eggs. She like it in many ways... from Teh-C-Peng, Bubble Tea, Ice Teh Tarik to Ice Latte.... like how she loves Eggs, whether scrambled, poached, half-boiled, fried to bulls-eye. LOL!!!

By the way, do you know what M.O.S. stands for?!? It's Mountain, Ocean and Sun...hehe...

* Oops... it's time for MooMoo to go zZz and have a SWEET dream...zZzzz... will be attending a Running workshop tomorrow... hope it will be good... ^=^

I Love Smurfing!! ^=^

Looking at all these 'SMURFS' make MooMoo thinks back of her childhood... La.. La... La la la la... Don't you think that they are all sooo cute?!? The above Smurfs are all hand-painted. Some of them are very creative. I like the Spiderman one and the Red and White one which looks like a Santa Claus. Hahaha. Maybe MooMoo will go watch the movie 'THE SMURFS'.

It should be quite entertaining as they all look so cute!!!

Not sure if you all still remember the 'Smurf Song'?!? Hahaha...

"SMURFING SONG"

La la la-la la la,

Sing a happy song.
La la la-la la la,
Smurf your whole day long.

Next time you're feeling blue just let a smile begin,
Happy things will come to you...

So smurf yourself a grin!

La la la-la la la

Now you know the tune

La la la-la la la

You'll be Smurfing soon!!!

* MooMoo is so HAPPY it's weekend again... ^=^

Chef Daniel's Kitchen at Iluma

MooMoo had nice dinner at this restaurant at Iluma 7th floor, called 'Chef Daniel's Kitchen'. It's quite a nice place and the food tasted quite good. It is kind of an east meets west fusion food. Although the food is good, the service is just so-so. MooMoo thinks that it would be more worth it to go during lunch time as they offer set lunch at a reasonable price. The salmon was good as it is not dry and flaky. As for the Seafood Pasta, it tasted as if it's cooked with Laksa Paste. Hahaha. The dessert is yummy but a bit too sweet.

* No exercise today but ate so much... MooMoo felt so bloated... plus her Aunty Visit... = (

MooMoo suppose to be Resting... BUT...

MooMoo is suppose to be resting... but...ended up running for about 4-5km with Ms. Mo after work. MooMoo felt extra tired today after the run... now she know why... her Aunty came knocking on her door visiting her today... LOL.

After the run, MooMoo and Ms. Mo enjoyed the 10 mins water show right outside Marina Bay Sands entrance around 8pm. MooMoo managed to take some pictures of the show.

After the show, MooMoo and Ms. Mo went to have dinner at the food court before walking for another 1-2km back to the gym for a good bath.

On the way back, there were some exhibitions and MooMoo just randomly took pictures.

* TGIF tomorrow!!! A short week for MooMoo this week... 3 working days. MooMoo feel like sleeping in the whole day this weekend... 'NO GYM' for the weekend... ^=^

Vain Cutie Pie

Even MooMoo's little 'Cutie Pie' is very vain at the young age of 2 1/2 years old. When she saw MooMoo's painted toe nails, she loves it so much that she keep touching MooMoo's painted toes. LOL!!! When Cutie Pie was in Lion City, MooMoo helped her paint her little toenails. Cutie Pie's feet so chubby and cute. Hahaha... Think MooMoo's brother will kill MooMoo when he sees Cutie Pie's painted toenails. Polluting her with pedicure at such young age.

* MooMoo's starting to miss 'Cutie Pie' dy...though she's getting more and more notti... today, MooMoo is HOME ALONE as Mr. and Mrs. Chicky is now in Vietnam, while Aunty on the way to Ipoh and Penang with Chicky Pie... MooMoo hopes to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil till everyone's back... since now is the 7 month period. Hahaha...

Gym Junkie ;P

Today is MooMoo's last day of leave. Back to 'Reality' tomorrow...

MooMoo really generated so much 'Happy Hormones' today till a bit over-dosed already. She did 6 hours of different work out classes in the gym. MooMoo broke her own record of maximum 4 classes in a day.

- Body Sculpt

- Zumba Fitness

- Step101

- Latina Flava

- Balance

- Duo Step

Gosh, MooMoo is a real 'Gym Junkie'... but she had LOTS of FUN today, though her whole body is aching now... especially her poor legs. Hahaha... It's like a 'Gym-Marathon'. ^=^

OMG, while browsing on the net, MooMoo found this term called 'Compulsive Exercise', which is also known as obligatory exercise, excessive exercise, exercise addiction or anorexia athletica. This means that one who have compulsion to exercise for longer and more vigourously than what is considered 'Normal'.

Browsing through the symptoms, it seems that MooMoo fit into the picture EXCEPT for number 2, depression and the part about the missing Fun, which MooMoo is still very much having FUN. Hahah.

Symptoms of 'Compulsive Exercise':

- Exercise on most days or everyday and sometimes several times a day, even when sick

- Exercise at unusual places (in bed, in shower, etc) and at odd times (middle of the night)

- Exercise affecting normal life, taking priority over everything

- Guilty and Anxious when they are forced to miss an exercise, will make up to it

- Planning activities all around Exercise

- Suffer from Anxiety, Depression, Low Self Esteem and Worry about Weight

- Exercise not taken as a Fun or Pleasurable Experience

Guess MooMoo still haven't reach the stage of 'Compulsive Exercise'... she's just a terrible 'Gym Junkie'... Anyway, she will try to rest more for the coming next few days for her muscles to heal and recover. MooMoo don't want to lose her muscle mass and do permanent damage to her bones, joints and ligaments.

* Tuesday BLUE tomorrow... Hope for MORE GOOD things to come by... and not any unwanted Surprises... ^=^ Wednesday onwards, MooMoo will be 'Home Alone' for at least a week... = (

Food... Food... and Food...

MooMoo had been eating heavily non-stop for the past 2 weeks... she just stopped eating that much starting from today. Parents and Cutie Pie just left Lion City yesterday. MooMoo will have to get back to her gym routine to burn all the extra calories. Hahaha!!!

MooMoo brought her parents and Cutie Pie to Marina Bay Sands area for a walk last Friday and they loved it. MooMoo had dinner at the Food Court at Marina Bay Sands. The food court is called 'Rasa Pura' and the food is not bad, a little pricey than normal, given the location but the price is pretty reasonable. MooMoo had her favourite 'Sarawak Kolok Mee' while her dad had his favourite 'Duck Rice' and her mom had the 'KL Hokkien Mee'.

MooMoo brought her mommy go shopping at NEX. MooMoo's mom is so HAPPY going home with a new wardrobe but MooMoo's wallet not so happy. Kekeke... Anyway, wallet bled but it made MooMoo's mom happy so it's still OK.

After shopping, we went to eat at this place called 'PU TIEN'. The food there is not bad. We had the Cockles cooked with Wine, Fried Oyster, Sweet and Sour Pork with Lychees, Vegetables with Preserved Egg and the Homemade Tofu.

Lastly, MooMoo brought them to eat at Tony Romas but they didn't quite like it coz too much meat. We had the appetizer, Baby Back Pork Ribs, Steak and Salad.

Supposingly, MooMoo suppose to bring them go DimSum with the chicken family but last minute cancelled. Anyway, DimSum is not their favourite.

* MooMoo will have to get back to work tomorrow... starting to feel her Blues dy... after a long break... hahaha... hope it will be a GREAT week ahead...^=^

I Miss You...

I MISS YOU

--- by Miley Cyrus

Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms

I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me

[CHORUS:]
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you

You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast

[CHORUS]

I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me

[CHORUS x2]

(I miss you)

* MooMoo loves this song... Miley Cyrus wrote this song herself for her Grandfather... a very sweet, simple song...talented young, pretty 18 years old girl... ^=^

Adidas King of the Road 2011 Race Pack

MooMoo's next upcoming run would be the 'ADIDAS KING OF THE ROAD 2011' in Singapore on the 28th August 2011. It will be a 16.8km run.

MooMoo just collected the race pack at Suntec City on Saturday. MooMoo loves the ADIDAS running-T, though she didn't get to have her favourite Purple colour. She got the BLUE one instead but the design is nice. Well, at least she didn't get the Green one. Ms. Mo would love the Green one. Hahaha.

Hmm... if Piggy is in Singapore, would have asked her to join me in the run... but too bad she's in Kimchi-land. Or maybe, she feels lucky to stay away from me... keep making her run with me... ^=^

MooMoo's running bib....

MooMoo's Running-T... nice right?!? hehe...

* MooMoo contemplating whether she should go donate blood before her run... will it really affect the running performance as what people state on the website?!?

Horrible Bosses

MooMoo went to watch the movie "HORRIBLE BOSSES" today and it was better than expected. MooMoo had a real good laugh at the cinema.

MooMoo's Friend: Hey, how come this movie also got so many people watch? Full house...

MooMoo: Hmm... guess a LOT of people have horrible bosses? LOL...

The movie is about 3 buddies with 3 different types of horrible bosses and they always meet up and complaint about their bosses. Then, one day the thoughts of murdering their bosses crops up. This is where the crazy story begins when they start plotting on their plans with stupid ideas. In order to regain their happiness, they just have to take action.

The movie is quite coarse with lots of dirty talking but with lots of humour. The dialogue often crude but at least it's witty. Guess it makes a lot of difference with great actors around... like Kevin Spacey, Collin Farrell, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jennifer Anniston. MooMoo could not really recognise Jennifer Anniston in there coz she seems to lose lots of weight and looked much older... but she's real good in the movie as a boss who loves to sexually harass her employees or patients.

Check it out!!! If you are looking for a good laugh to de-stress yourself. MooMoo gives this movie a 3 out of 5 stars. ^=^

* MooMoo had a long good break... eating non-stop, walking non-stop, playing with Cutie Pie, companying parents around Lion City... holidays ending soon... good times always passes more quickly... ^=^

Craving for Sushi...

MooMoo just have this craving for Sushi today... like she's preggie... MooMoo look like she's preggie but too bad, no baby inside tummy... just FATS... hahaha...

After doing GREAT 4 hours of exercises (2 hours Pilates, Balance and Zumba Toning) today, MooMoo asked 2 of her gym buddies to go eat Sushi with her. MooMoo wanted to try out this new outlet, "ITACHO SUSHI" that she never tried before as her friend told her that it is really good and she had read some really good reviews on it. MooMoo thought that 313 Somerset had a branch but she was wrong coz they only had branches in Bugis Junction, ION Orchard and Plaza Singapore at Dhoby Ghaut.

After reaching 313 and found out that there's no sushi there, it's really disappointing... Since we're already too hungry to walk back to ION Orchard, we decided to go for Ichiban Boshi's Sushi instead. Well, at least it satisfy MooMoo's hunger for Sushi for awhile.

MooMoo will try to go for the Sushi session again maybe this weekend of next week. This time, must really go to "ITACHO SUSHI". Haha... One day, MooMoo would really wanna try out some expensive good quality Sushi. ^=^

* Today MooMoo actually went to eat Breakfast with her Fav Instructor and gang after 1st 2 hours of workout before continuing the next 2 hours... we kept pestering him to have more Step class in the schedule... LOL. ^=^

Who do you think you are?!?

JAR of HEARTS

--- Christina Perri

No, I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

[Chorus:]
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

[Chorus]

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

* MooMoo had a good stretch at Balance and Pilates today... it's a no 'shoes' workout day today... MooMoo just realised that she have not been going to Step class as much as last time... from 7-8 times a week to 1-2 times a week and next week, it may be 0 time. MooMoo always said she will die not going to her Fav Step class... guess she didn't die after all... Hahaha..

Zumba Toning Rocks!!!

Recently, MooMoo goes to this new class called 'Zumba Toning' and she really loves it. MooMoo thinks that Zumba Toning really rocks!!! MooMoo used to go to Zumba Fitness class but she finds that Zumba Toning is more interesting.

Zumba Fitness is a dance-fitness workout. Zumba Toning is almost similar to Zumba Fitness except that it is more of a body sculpting workout with combination of dance moves, using a Maraca-like Toning Sticks. You can actually tone your body while having a good workout dancing to the music.

The Last Lecture

Recently, MooMoo just read a book called the "THE LAST LECTURE."

MooMoo finds that the author "Randy Pausch" is a very interesting guy and the book he had written is very inspiring. His book is based on his last lecture on the topic “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” and he delivered his last lecture on 18th September 2007 to 400 audiences at Carnegie Mellon University before he lost his battle to Pancreatic Cancer on 25th July 2008.

Below are some of the Citations and Quotes that MooMoo likes from the book...

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."

"You've got to get the fundamentals down, because otherwise the fancy stuff is not going to work."

"When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you."

"If I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can't do today."

"Tenacity is a virtue, but it's not always crucial for everyone to observe how hard you work at something."

"It's not about How to Achieve your Dreams. It's about how to Lead your Life. If you lead your Life the Right way, the Karma will take care of itself."

Do check out the book if you're free. It's a book worth reading.

* MooMoo had a GREAT week so far without Dark clouds... had a good workout doing Boot Camp and Balance at the gym just now. Today, MooMoo's Company's CEO communication was pretty motivating... MooMoo really liked that new guy... Hope he really walk the talk... and not just giving empty promises... Anyway, looking forward to watch her Hero in 'Wu Xia' tomorrow...^=^

Evening Run in a Breeze... ^=^

MooMoo had a good evening run with a friend after work today around Marina Bay Sands. The weather was great after the heavy rain in the afternoon. Therefore, it was pretty cooling.

This 'big prawn head' MooMoo forgot to set the watch to time the last loop so only managed to capture the distance and timing for the 1st 2 loops of the run.

Distance: 7.47km

Timing: 51mins 48secs

It's kinda amazing that MooMoo didn't really feel tired after running 3 loops, which is about a total of 10.5km in about 75mins. MooMoo did the 10km evening run in a breeze today. ^=^

* A Quote from the Author of this book that MooMoo's currently reading now...

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." --- Randy Pausch

MooMoo really likes this quote as he is sending the message that we are born to this world, given this Life in certain ways that we cannot change BUT definitely it's all up to each individuals on how they choose to live their LIFE...
