Just realized that it's been almost 10days since the last update.
Most of my days are about trying to strike a balance between work, classes, training and everything in between. Though it can get a little tough sometimes, it's all worth it at the end of the day.
On another note, I've not even blog about my pre-valentines weekend trip to Malacca with the Boyfie yet. Blog maintenance fail max. Let's just say that our trip involved quite a bit of good food and two good ol' friends of mine. Thankfully we didn't go all glutton and gobble up all the yummy stuff on our list.
Anyways, time to get back to work now. Shall update soon.

A 5km start
Those who have been following me for some years now should be able to recall about a 5kg weight loss bet which was made between me and a close friend. Here's what happened. It was during a time when both of us held gym memberships and wanted to desperately shed some pounds.
And well, we called it off and left that intention hanging for a few years. We've been talking about wanting to train for runs, but nothing happened either.
Until 2 weeks ago, the close friend James asked if we should sign up for the Adidas 10km run in September. We both got excited and agreed to sign up for it together. Unfortunately, they ran out of tees in my size. I refused to let this disappointment stop us and went searching for more runs. Entries for Standchart in June and Feel Good in July were obviously full already.
So, THE SHAPE NIGHT RUN it is!
After going through the details and getting ourselves tempted by the post run goodie bag, we both signed up for the 5km fun run instantly. This is it, we've got 2 more months to train till our first run together.
When I first mentioned about the 10km run to the Boyfie, he was supportive of the idea but thought that we were a bit nutty for wanting to train for a 10km all of a sudden. So when I told him that we were participating in the 5km fun run, he gave us his full support instantly.
Let this be our first step to conquering more miles together.

♥ #20
Growing together has to be the best thing I love about being in this relationship. In order to grow old together, we must first learn to grow together. No?
Along the years, I've observe many couples who either grow together or grow out of each other. Somehow, things just fall apart when two people are no longer traveling the same path, and/or traveling towards the same destination. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows how hurtful this can get.
Growing together didn't just happen overnight. It started not long after we met and became friends. As our understanding towards each other grew, so did our friendship. This relationship has taught me how important it is to learn from each other and grow better each day together. I'd have to give full credit to his patience and effort cause I was not exactly the most patient person when we first met.
Like in any other friendship, it takes two to make it work. It is real love that fuels a person to make that effort, and to go the distance to make it work. Basically, it takes the right person, at the right time, and the right amount of effort to build a strong relationship between two in love.
Oh... yeah...
It takes team work. Really.
Happy 20th month, my love.

You are what you eat
One of the best things I've done last year was successfully introducing clean and healthy alternatives into my daily food intake.
As the weeks went by, I noticed that I was adding more and more healthy alternatives into my basket each trip I make to the grocer's.
And yes, that makes me really happy.
The best part of eating clean is that I do feel physically healthier. My body feels more energetic and my digestive system feels so much more cleaner than before. Together with a bit of exercise, my body fat has gradually decreased. Now the aim is to work harder at exercising.
Trust me, you'll never look back once you start eating clean.

Daily Checklist
Do you reflect on your day before heading off to sleep? Well, I certainly do so once in a while. It helps keep me in check. Really.
So, ask yourself.
I slept soundly after answering "Yes, I've done something" to all :)

World Stray Animals Day
11 months ago, we brought home a stay kitten with white Mittens.
Bro named her Mei Mei cause we had always threaten Mushie that we'll someday bring home a kitty "meimei" (meaning younger sister in Chinese). So yeah, that day finally came and he was practically forced to accept that it's indeed happening.
The Boyfie is still traumatized over the incident by the way.
We caged her up most of the time for almost one year cause she was one furball of a havoc. She is one hyper kitten and her petite little frame only made her more agile.
She's out of the cage full time these days. She stays really close to my brother, understands us, and sleeps in my brother's room. Not bad for a kitten that was thrown out on the streets. Yes we believe that she was thrown out, cause she was extremely clean to be a stray when we found her. The fact that she was litter trained convinced us even more that she was thrown out onto the streets.
And no thanks to cruel owners, her real brother was rolled over by a car. Right in front of me, the Boyfie, and everyone else at the SS2 roadside "lok lok" stall.
Anyways, we got her spayed when she was old enough. Okay the collar wasn't exactly that cool cause she had a hard time cleaning herself.
This photo was taken sometime last week when the two of our furballs were checking out some pigeons together. Ah yes, they love them pigeons. Meimei even tried mimicking the sounds they make. Both our furballs are getting along real well these days.
I'm glad we could afford to take her off the streets and give her a home. Most of all, I'm extremely proud of my brother for loving her more each day.

Poor dear was so tired the evening we brought her home and literally stoned on my brother lap. Just in case you missed what happened, click here.
