Nike Human Race'09

Juz ran the Nike Human Race this morning... more sights than Sundown marathon... haha... Course been pretty shag, so i'm quite drained... shall backdate some entries when i can catch a breathe.

Parade Commander

My first time as Parade Commander for colours.... Sumthing i've been avoiding for the last 7 years whenever i'm on course... this time kana liao... arrowed by Course Commander... Lan lan cannot siam... Lucky... survived it.

Ear Piercing for the vainees...

Reis and Cadis went for ear piercing today, the 2 vainpots have been asking to do it for quite some time liao... Today's the day... Brave gals, didn't nudge or yell during the piercing, typical 爱美不要命 spirit... well done.

Another case of 破财消灾?

Damn Sian... Scrap my car against a pillar at Bugis Junction carpark while squeezing into a carpark lot the unorthodox way... Was too busy making sure the head dun kana the car beside then suddenly heard the scraping sound... I told siao liao... door kana liao... after parking went down took a look, heng ah... only the side skirts kana, thats what i thought... Called Ronnie (Phua Spray Services) immediately to book for appt the next morning for repairing.

Here's the damage:


When i went in to Ronnie's the next morning, the price he quoted was what i expected, regular customer mah, so familiar with his rates. Then i received a call from him to say the rocker panel oso kana, need to send to Lye for some panel knocking, then i thought... this time siao liao... True enough, when i collected my car, the bill was high... haiz... $160 from Lye Designs to restore... and $180 from Ronnie's to spray... Total $320 (bargain for some discount from Lye) Sibeh expensive....

Since my i had to sent in my car to spray, i 顺便 sprayed the foglight area which i wanted to do long time ago, now's the chance... Glad it turned out nice...




Still heart pain when i think bout the damage... damn... lousy day...

Exhaustion?

Been feeling damn tired since monday with some headache and cough... didn't take any medicine since i normally dun take till no choice... went for 5km runs twice and felt like shit even though i reduce my speed... climbed 5 flights of steps and almost faint... Forced by Jess to visit Dr Ong last night, didn't diagnosed anything, suggested due to not enough sleep, exhausted and weather, suggest for me to rest more, take panadol and observe...
Discouraged me to go for my run on sunday, but since i already arrange to run so i think i will still run... went for badminton juz now.... felt retarded.. movements were slow, visions blurred at times and no strength....
Hopefully tomolo can finish my run in 1 piece and sweat the virus out.... sucks to feel sick...

Mishimoto Hose finally arrives...

Finally!! After approx 3 mths wait, from a group buy... Also dunno why i buy... haha, sumthing red to beautify engine bay i guess, since i dun track, the stock ones shd actually be more than sufficient. But, when you own a car, you shd juz buy without reason!!!

MY MISHIMOTO RADIATOR SILICON HOSES IS HERE!!

Skunk 2 Gearknob

As much as i liked my stock knob, bad habits do kicked in...

Again another case of self poisoning as i surf CTR.sg... Saw this revived thread on "how to remove the stock gearknob" Read thru the postings, saw some pics that some bros posted after installing their SK2 knob... See liao felt not bad leh... haha... so I got 1 for myself too...

Meetup with Danny from Element Racing last night to transact.. Danny's a very nice and friendly chap, hit off quite well and lucky Danny offered to try to help me install the knob... I was still thinking whether wana go online and see which kind soul would render some assistance...

The throw's definately better than stock... and here's some pic...

My Stock knob:



The package the SK2 knob came in... (the silver knob's the stock knob...)




After:







Nice rite... anyway... new look... haha
Will be enjoying shifting for the next couple of days....

My 6th Wedding Anniversary @ Min Jiang

Its our 6th wedding anniversary today, i juz sailed back moments ago, went home changed up picked my wife, gals and went for dinner for a simple celebration.
Jess said she wanted chinese food so i shortlisted afew...

Li Bai @ Sheraton Towers - Too lazy to travel till there coz ard evening, the traffic condition there is disastrous.

Lei Gardens - Recommended by Moses, went online read some reviews and didn't felt really keen to go.

Prima Tower - A place we quite liked, but haven been there since a year ago, so do some reading up again... wah the reviews were jialat... Didn't know if things really changed after a year, better dun try for tonight.

Minjiang @ Rochester - Gd food, near our place, nice ambience.. so off to Minjiang we went...


While waiting for the food, took some random photos with the crappy iphone camera.







First dish - The confirm muz eat peking duck... 3 methods of eating,
1) with sugar
2) conventional with the sweet sauce and cucumber
3) szechuan style...





Although its dinner, couldn't resist ordering some 小龙包s and they're gd!!


Some more pics in midst of dinner...













This is wat we opt for to deal with the meat of the peking duck, fry it with noodles... quite yummy too...


Hah... the fish we ordered, Dual style fish of sumthing, half fried, half steam... didn't expect it to be served in fine dining style... coz its charged by its weight... $12/100g... nabei no head no tail... initially the served 2 plates, 1 for me and 1 for jess... told me is fish.. i was like.. nabei... chop me till liddat... then they serve 2 more... for reis and cadis... hmmm.... still not convinced it was a whole fish although they charged me for 1...



Crab roe with Kai Lan Miao... and its real crab shredded... you can see the shredded part of the pincers too...


Pork ribs with honey glazed sauce... $10/pc


And lastly desserts... mango and durian puddings... the durians are MUST TRY for durian lovers!!


Photo sessions again...











I prefer Min Jiang during weekdays... its so quiet and the staff are so attentive and pleasant... some things you dun even haf to ask, and they are brought to you through observations... Because Jess dun eat seafood, missed out on the prawns, scallops, crab and squid items...

So it was a successful 2190 days/ 52560 hours/ 3153600 mins since we got married and still counting...
