it's the weekend again!
well, time seems to move faster over the weekend. it seems to me that many of the people around me are going abroad during this period - xp's probably basking under the sun at patong beach, lion's leaving for her regional conference and i'll be away for official business next weekend. i'm not expecting falling snow, but rather, the place is going to be lined with piles of dirty snow - wet, slippery and dreary weather, really really bad timing. i finally bought my ankle boots (not the pointy-toed types, too bimbo), and the bf also bought formal leather shoes, all within like ten minutes of entering the shop. oh yes, notice my new short china doll-like fringe? i wanted to trim my fringe a little, but my hairstylist just merrily snipped it off till this short... well, thankfully it turned out ain't so bad, and my hair grows relatively fast anyway.
we walked over to suntec city for dinner, the whole mall was packed with people there for the IT fair, so we ended up at olio. i wanted to have a peaceful good meal, somewhere quieter with good ambience, and it seemed most appropriate at that time. we shared the garden salad, hawaiian pork chops (his choice) and pasta marinara (this is one of my standard dishes, boring...). i never had high expectations of olio's food, especially since i've heard of bad reviews of this outlet, but the food was nevertheless quite good, and i enjoyed the generous serving of seafood in my pasta and the time spent with the dearest. :-)
this was what we did today!!! we went for this "fun on foot" jogathon (our first!) with lynn & alvin, this was organised by the kidney dialysis foundation in conjunction with world kidney day, which falls on the 8th of march. it was a 4-km jog along the singapore river and around city hall/clarke quay area, and before that, they made us do this kebaya aerobics which the bf obviously had alot of problem coordinating, haa! thankfully i've got some aerobics/boxercise experience to fall back on. :P well, for the run, i struggled a little since i haven't been exercising that regularly nowadays, and i'm always more comfortable on a threadmill... so giving myself a pat on my back for completing the jog. why the colourful hats!?! the organisers were also trying to enter into world's guinness book of records for the most number of people wearing balloon hats at the same time. i have no idea how they're going to account for the numbers... anyway, i'm happy with my mc donald's hotcakes breakfast (so hungry!), and the free nestle fitness cereals in the goodie bag! we should really do this more often.
