Standard Chartered Marathon

Again this is our last run for 2009. My first while this is Simon's 3rd SMC Run. I am thankful to my mum who is able to come over to take care of our kids while we go for the run.

Again, I hope we are able to continue our run in 2010.

Broadway Beng - Jia Liu Lian

Our last musical for 2009 - Broadway Beng Jiak Liu Lian on 4 Dec 2009.

A pleasant surprise during the show when a guy arranged with Sebestian to propose to his girlfriend. All the best to Eugene and Jia Jia.

Hope we can still continue to enjoy our regular musical show in 2010.

Sing Dollars

Just realised that I have not posted on our recent musical show that we have watched - Sing Dollars.

We watched it on July 29 and was a great evening with all the super duper casts - Kumar, my favourite Sebastian, Hossan and Selina etc.....

Safra Run

My 1st Safra Run and 2nd time for Simon.

Simon's timing is 59mins while mine is 1hr 40min based on official timing. As usual, Simon will always wait for me at the finishing point. Thank you Dear!!

I also met up with my regular Shape Run kaki - Sharon at the starting point for 10km. Great to join her at the starting point.

This is the 2nd 10km run that I had for this year. Quite a good run as both of us had train regularly each week. I just can't stand the hot sun. Next time, I should really wear a cap for my next 10km run.

Our next run will be in Sept - Yellow Ribbon Run around Changi Prison.

Followed by Run For Hope and than Standard Chartered Run.

Shape Run 2009

This is my 3rd year joining the Shape Run. And this is the first time I had the support from my dear family.

See my dear son's making face and cross eyes again.

Musical Shows in April

April is the month where we watched some musical shows.

First show that I watched with my colleagues is - If There're Seasons 2009, on April 16 at National Library Drama Centre.

And the following week, I watched again with Simon on April 23.

This is our favourite Chinese Musical Show that we watched in 2007. I have told Simon after watching the show in 2007 that I am going to watch again and I watched twice this time :)
As usual, George & Joanna are superb and great singers.

2nd Musical Show that we watched is CATS The Musical on April 30 at Esplanade.

This is the second time CATS coming to Singapore but this is our first time watching it. Both of us felt that the story line is not very strong however, we were very impressive with the dance performance.

It was an enjoyable month for us

Our next musical show will be in July - Sing Dollars :)

Sub Urban Run 2009 @ Seng Kang East Drive

Race #2 for 2009. Sub Urban Run @ North East on 15th March. Took part in this second race of the year at Seng Kang East Drive. Took part in the 10km men competitve race and finished with 58 min. The route was not too bad as they are mostly straight on road compared to the up and down slopes in Newton ActiveRun two weeks ago.

Race in 2009

1) Newton ActiveRun 10 km 55 min

2) Sub Urban Run 10 km 58 min

Next upcoming race is Singapore Passion Run 2009 and Sundown Adidas Marathon both in May 2009.

First Race of the year 2009 - Newton ActiveRun 2009

This is the first race of the year 2009! Unlike last year we had to skipped this race due to heavy downpour. Well there were lightnings and thunder roaring the night before and we were quite worried that history will repeat again but fortunately the rain stopped and we went for the race.

Both of us participated the 10km open and it was Helen's first time non-stop 10km. As for me, it has been quite a meaningful one because there were no pain felt on my right knee. Though i still wear a knee guard but i did not felt any pain all the way till the finishing point. It has been a challenging 3 months recovering and training since i got the pain during the Standard Chartered Race in 2008.

Anyway, i feel good now and look forward to more runs this year. I saw my timing and suspect 55 mins which is quite good but still have to wait for the final result to be published on the website shortly.

What a good start in 2009.

CNY 2009 Gathering

Had a small and enjoying afternoon gathering with my friends of 10 over years on Sat, 31 Jan, at our house. Even Simon also enjoyed the chit chatting and sharing.

A New Family Tradition

Once again, mommy is back with her old time trick. She is sick on second day of Chinese New Year 2009. Last year also like that. Now i am activated to take over her chores.

Well unlike last year, this year we thanked Rui Ming for sharing with us his entertainment kit which kept us occupied past few days.

Helen and I would like to wish everyone born of the OX a successful and prosperity Lunar New Year 2009 !
