Batam Trip_17 Jul 2010
Last Saturday, a group of us went to Batam on a 1 day trip and it wasn't too bad though it did not start off too well cos SOMEBODY was LATE hence the entire group MISSED the intended ferry at 8.20am .
Okie, I admit, the SOMEBODY was MOI !! I AM THE GUILTY ONE!!
No excuses given, I had bad time management skills and ended up at the ferry terminal a tad too late for check in (despite me sprinting all the way from harbour front NEL to the check in counter ..bet the building was trembling with my every step ...hehehe)
Thankfully, I have a group of wonderful and understanding friends who gamely went back to the ticketing counter to request for the next available ferry and unfortunately, the 9am ferry was fully booked so we had to wait another 2 hrs for the 10.30am ferry ... = (
Despite the initial hiccups, we managed to reach Batam just in time for the seafood lunch and we continued with the day trip to a cultural show (din really like the portion where the man demonstrated his glass eating capabilities), polo tee outlets, massage and finally a short walk about at some shopping centre.
Posing in the coach ... what else is new ??Hehehe
Buah Salat Chips or Gong Gong Keropok anyone ?
Finally a group pic with our happy purchases of tees, keropok, Kueh Lapis, Kueh Ambon and Indo Mee ! Sedap !!
Shape Run 2010_25 July 10
Jumped out of bed at 5.30am and thought, YIPPEE , TODAY IS THE DAY !
Yup, this is my Virgin Run and boy am I excited ! Honestly, I have not been training for this run but I thought, what the heck, if I do not try, I will NEVER know if my body can meet up to this challenge
For those who know me would know that I have managed to shed almost 10kg from participating in last year's LOSE TO WIN CHALLENGE by HPB and have since then, resumed my exercise regime (yup, I used to be quite a gym rat 6 yrs back when I was still in NLB @ Millenia). This run was a challenge I posed to myself ever since I discovered the joy of jogging last year. To me, this is amazing cos I have NEVER passed my 2.4km in school and HATED jogging all my life. The LTW Challenge has changed my perception so here I am, all prepared to embark on more runs ... But not before I survive the 5km Shape Run today !Hehehe
So it was with great excitement that I met Sandy and Minz at the starting point and boy was it crowded! I heard there were like 10, 000 women for this event..what great news! Amongst us, I could see women of all shapes and sizes all geared up for the run. I knew that I had to start small so opted for the 5km run instead. Janey who is an avid runner went for 10km (kudos !). I was really glad that San made it for the run despite (1) recovering from flu (2)doesn't exceptionally like running (3)it was a run at 7.30am on a Sunday morning ...hehehe ..hugz
My personal target was simple.. Do Not Stop and aim for the finishing line and with this, I paced myself throughout the route and ran at a constant speed. With my trusty MP3 blasting (and I mean it was REAL loud) away my favourite, fast beat songs, I was enjoying myself throughout the run and even broke into a little shoulder shimmy & finger snapping repertoire..hahaha
With the finishing line just ahead, I kept telling myself to push a little harder and all I could think of was "You Can DO It, WENDY, YOU CAN !" I must say that it was exhilarating to cross the finishing line and I was grinning from ear to ear like a Cheshire Cat at the accomplishment
For many, completing 5km under 46min may seem insignificant and a terrible result but to me, I was proud of the fact that I did not stop despite fatigue and best of all, I accomplish what I set out to do. =
So here's some shots of me and Sandy being crazy after the run ...hehehe

Docent Training @ Bird Park_4 Jul 10
First stop was the lory loft and it was loads of fun with the free flying lories all over the enclosure.
Here's the station that is selling the feed that is made up of nectar and honey .. look how anxious the lories are? just waiting for their chance to steal a sip of the mixture ..hehehe
Was feeling all ticklish with the mischievous lory on my back ..quick take the pic!!
Here comes the mysterious hand of "TP" again with the feed
Now's my turn for a drink !
Love the vibrant background...
See ...who says polka dots cant go with stripes ?? Such a high fashion look !
Love the signboards ...looks like a totem right ?
Ohhh ... finally we had lunch! It was time for yummy BBQ chicken at Bongo Burgers and what's best, we had 30% staff discount as Docents .. = )
Heard the chicken wings are sedapalious too ...maybe will try it next week at Night Safari during training ..so greedy ..hahaha
What a riot of colours ! Mother Nature is truly an artist for she creates the most outstanding masterpiece..
And the parting shot ... any questions ? * arrhh *
