LIfe Without Class

True to my word, I did NOT go for any gym class yesterday, despite it being part of my normal routine. Anyway, I took to my old love, (love may not be the correct word; its somewhere in between like and love...loike?) jogging in lake gardens. Now, these gardens have many memories for me, and up until I joined Fitness First last year, it was my usual hangout, for exercise. In that 1½ years, the gardens have been spruced up tremendously. Repaved jogging tracks, interlocking blocks for the embankment of the lake, landscaped gardens, more fake waterfalls.

I'm not sure what distance I covered, but I know it's at least 3.5km lah. Very enjoyable. Might start running regularly again. Need to buy a good pair of running shoes, my current nikes are laughing oridi, and the gym pair is strictly for gym, and has to be unsoiled by real earth. Any advice? The picture shows my jogging path, starting (green arrow) at lake club. I don't know how to insert arrows in the directions, but basically it was anti clockwise in the bigger loop, then anti clockwise again in the smaller loop. Oh, no no, hangon, its anti clockwise on the bigger loop only until the lake, and then I do the smaller loop around the lake, before heading back to Lake Club.

Reminds me of the good old days i went jogging (occasionally) or walking with my dad in the good old Lake Garden, some times followed by char kuey teow at Lake Club. :D Well, that's before we moved into the far suburb of Cheras! Are there more people using the tracks these days compared to say 5 years ago?

Saucony, New Balance and Asics are good running shoes. Nike is over priced because of their marketing and Adidas is a bit heavy. I swear by Saucony, it's the best running shoes ever..I own >10 pairs and NOT 1 has given me a blister. ONly problem is they are changing distributor so it's not easily available in the market. Try New Balance, they have a shop in 1U.Dont look for bargains, be prepared to invest in a good pair, middle range.It's important esp if you have knee problems etc.

List Of Desserts For Sale

Okay, this isn't going to make me rich, but no harm making a few bucks on the side from a hobby. If I was a talented musician, I'd probably be a part time lounge pianist in some seedy bar. I am NOT a talented cook by any yardstick. However, since friends and fellow floggers (food bloggers) have been asking, it is with great reluctance that I have to put a price tag to these products: LIST OF DESSERTS AVAILABLE AS AT 30 AUGUST 2006 Chocolate Tart - Literally half baked, this tart comprises a bottom layer of baked chocolate, and a layer of melted chocolate ganache.

J says: go update J says: i can't carry on the day without reading it first CORNELIUS says: i got nothing to update wor J says: so u planning to just not write? J says:how irresponsible Anyway, to further add to the pool of instructor rivalry, I got this sms over the weekend, from fellow gym kaki: That should hopefully ruffle some feathers, and cause an all out martial arts war. No gym yesterday, as I was too late for body attack at axis. Brought the boys to Ikano, to hangout, as girl has some tests at school, so had to stay back with mother to do some work. Hung out at Popular, but not before buying some Wrigley Juicy Fruit chewing gum which I used to eat as a kid, and thought boy no 1 would like. Boy: So, is this what you ate in the old days? Me: Old days? Boy: Ya, old days. When you were a kid. Me: Ya. Boy: What did they use as clocks in the old days

Weekend With Wonder Woman

Friday - Same old same old. Body Pump at MJH/MRB, FPI that day replaced by Myke, as the former had quartelies. Rushed back, to prepare supper for cell group, which initially looked like no one was going to show. Fortunately, the two home made pizzas did not go to waste, and this the son's verdict. Saturday- Tons of errands to run, in preparation for dinner party tonight with Wonder Woman aka Gorgeous Woman. Started in Petaling Street, to get the Sei Ngan Chai Ham Arp, (4 eyed boy's salty duck), managed to grab a plate of chee cheong fun....Petaling Street is always so hustling and bustling, even at 9.30am. I so love that place. Great food as well. Headed to normal Ipoh Kueh Teow shop, Lee Tong Kee in Jln Silang, but it was closed, so went to Tengkat Tong Shin, which was ALSO closed. Gee such slackers. Ended up having to get it from Lucky Garden, but the lady wasn't accustomed to our usual method of tah pau, so it ended up a trite soggy. Baked the same Nigella Lawson's C
