i can see clearly now...

merdeka weekend has come and gone.
my birthday has come and gone too.
so what's been happening & what's new?

let's start with merdeka weekend. due to the dry spell in july and august, i was totally looking forward to merdeka weekend. not only it's a public holiday, i was even more excited because i was going to penang again with my family - with my 7 month niece in tow - and it was a great holiday. a tad too short a holiday, but a holiday nonetheless. upon arrival, it was food... glorious food all the way. on arrival lunch itself, i couldn't decide if i missed laksa more or fried koey teow more... i ended up with both on my table! went back for a nap, and about 4.30pm, it was off to padang brown for my must-not-miss-when-in-penang lok lok. i was so bloated from all the food. the following day was about the same, with chee cheong fun for breakfast, laksa & fried koey teow again for lunch, mua chee for tea and don't know what else for dinner. i gained a good 3 kg from that weekend.

about 2 weeks later, it was my 29th birthday. well, it would be my 30th birthday according to the chinese calender. no big celebration, just an extravagant gift i got for myself - brand new eyesight. yes... i went for lasik and good bye glasses and contacts!

i'll start my training for singapore marathon again this week. would really like to start swimming again too, but due to the lasik, i have to stay away from the pool for a month. well, at least i can still run and go for my rpm classes.
