I've been very generous this year - generous at registering for various runs and that's all to it. I did not even completed one. Ironically, I trained for it. I get super excited when I ran 4km in just 28mins and aimed to run 5km in 30-35mins. 10km in 1hr.
Shape Run - registered, collected my tag. On the actual day, I had to be in KL to work. That was in July.
Great Eastern Run - registered, collected my bag. 10km. All excited. On that day, I fell sick. And to make it worst, I have not fully recovered. Am still coughing, am still sniffling and it's been 2-3 weeks already!
Run for Hope - registered. On the actual day, I was hoping for my two boys and husband to fully recover from fever and that awful cough. Thanks to me! share share share!
Stan Chart Run - registered for the entire family. I am running - after my kids as we will be in Penang that weekend to attend my cuzzy's wedding.
The only run that we did was Passion Run/ Walk. In the rain, with ponchos and I didn't even break into a sweat!
This morning, since I was early for work, I decided to drive down along Thomson and Ang Mo Kio Ave 1. Passed by Bishan Park - gosh I miss running in that park. It's been 2 months - I was traveling and till today have not recovered from my flu and cough. Can't wait to put on that running shoes again. 4km in 30mins? I'll be happy if I can do 3km in 30mins. Start from the beginning... again.

Random Conversations
On his ambitions....
Abang: Mama, when I grow up I want to be a paleontologist but do you think I can do that when I grow up?
Mama: Why do you ask that?
Abang: Because there are so many constructions going on today! I know, I want to be an engineer
Mama: that's good too. What do you want to develop?
Abang: underwater train! It can take us to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, France and when you go on vacation, you don't have to take aeroplanes already! The underwater train is so fun you know Mama because you get to see underwater sea creatures in your journey!
He also wants to be a cashier - because he thinks the money belongs to him, a bus driver because he is fascinated by buses and he says doctors are gross because they deal with blood.
On Children...
One day over dinner.
Abang: Mama, when I grow up and go to work, you will look after my children right?
Mama: Huh? Children?!
Abang: yes, like when you and Abah go to work... nenek and nyai looks after us what

Short hair vs long hair
Abang: I like girls with long hair
Mama: are you saying you don't like me?
Abang: *sheepish* no lah. I love you
Few weeks later, I straightened my hair and it looks more feminine and long
Abang: I like your hair like this.... very girl.
Mama: !!!!
On Cars
Abah: Abang, when you start work, can you buy me a car? I want a fast one
Mama: Yeah, so Abah and Mama can go to the mosque and religious classes together
Abang: you two can take bus what!

Adik Likes School!
Day 2. I left him in class and had my bowl of Yong Tau Fu at the Houseman canteen. Yum.
I went back to the school and he was having a great time singing. Alhamdullilah...he seems to be a lot better than the other kids and yes, his brother.
Tomorrow, I am set to spend the day shopping, reading and people watching in town. I may even throw in a facial session. The plan is to leave him at the daycare center the entire day. Here's praying that all will go smoothly.
