It's a busy last quarter...socially.
September 08 JASLYN's BIRTHDAY
A few of us celebrated Jaslyn's birthday at Dragon Gate Restaurant. Been a while since we had dim sum. The spread wasn't fantastic so we resorted to eating a lot of 风爪...quite record-breaking actually :P
Meanwhile, our GE women training runs continue and Stacey joined us.
October 01 MY BIRTHDAY!!!
I'm so happy! My pals celebrated my birthday twice!
28Sep - we went for a nice dinner at Shin Kushiya and proceeded to Boiler Room for drinks. Yes...a lot of drinks til i puked at the carpark near my place. Yucks!
01Oct - Caught a movie with Joanna, Aili & Chen Ping. They knew it was my bday and gave me a movie+dinner treat. So nice of them :)
I joined my chummy ger friends at Irene's multi-storeyed home after dinner. It was intended to be just a gathering but they surprised me with a green tea bday cake. They had drinks but i din dare to touch it a bit after 28Sep's hangover. We stayed over and chatted lots :P
October 04 THE NORTH FACE 100
This run was made difficult cos i suddenly went weak and never recovered til after the run.
At the same time, this run was made easier cos i had the support of a very good teammate. Thanks a lot Serene!
October 26 GE WOMEN 10K
The training hours paid off. The girls completed in decent timing. I am proud of them and at the same time, happy that we have ran together - a first after ten over years of friendship! :)
October - November RACING THE PLANET - SAHARA
Hwee Hoon & Joyce went for Sahara Desert Run - 250km. They completed in good timing! Well-deserved returns after months of stair-climbing, running on beaches & being BBQed under the hot sun.
November 07 HONGKONG TRAILWALKER
A lottery event. 0874...remember these 4Ds *lol*
It's a tough walk! I can't imagine the Gurkhas clocking a sub-12hr timing for that kind of terrain. Up up and up.
Despite some slight misunderstanding, i enjoyed this event VERY MUCH with my lovely teammates - Joanne, Peh Gee & Uncle Jack.
Given a chance, i wld wanna do it again.
November 23 BANGKOK MARATHON
I signed up for this marathon on the eve of the event. Originally intended to go BKK to visit Irene, have Xiaoji's hen nite and to 顺便run this marathon. Then the headcount was left with only Meijin, Charlene, Ahbu and me. In reality, I didn't train Hee...i got lazy after HKTW.
In the end, i still went for it cos i wasn't confident of doing SCSM with the SWET.
Anyway, this shot with the granny - she's really good. 66 y/o and still running strong. I couldn't overtake her at the last 100m :P
December 07 SCSM & XIAOJI + ALLAN'S WEDDING
Ran with the SWET gers for this year's marathon (else there's really no reason why i shld do SG marathon again...the route is the same every year). They were roped up and ran in their harnesses. Thankfully, the weather was nice.
Went home to catch an hour's sleep then rushed down to The Pines for Xiaoji's wedding. I was the emcee but not too bad since i was gonna speak English.
I must say Xiaoji's photographer is quite impressive. Very natural and "feeling" shots and he isn't a chatterbox (works quietly).

We celebrated Chris' birthday after the wedding. Hahah...this pic somehow looks like we are hostesses from some nightclub.
December 20 CHRISTMAS PARTY - FESTIVALS
This year is our 9th annual Christmas gers' party! We have came a long way.
There is no worst-dressed award cos everyone pulled up their socks and made efforts to dress to the occasion :P
Only pity that Ahbu was sick hence had to go off early.
Okay! Done done done! I'm gg home to makan oredi...so hungry. Off to count down at Helipad later! Yeh!!! Til 2009 i blog my next. Cheers!
