virgin post

i've pondered long and hard on creating a blog. for a long time, i held back. i decided to give it a shot with my sub-standard writing skills. here i am... my virgin post.

i still feel a twitch at the shin area when i try to run. my last run was 25th jan - more than 2 weeks ago. at first, i thought it's shin splints. but i think it could be worst. hairline crack? i don't know. only an mri can tell. but it's too costly (~$800 for a non-subsidised patient), let's wait for another 2 weeks. kl international marathon is doubtful now (i'm doing a half with the objective of clocking a pb - under 1:45). i've to decide soon, 17th feb is the cut-off date.

this weekend, i've overworked myself on those machines (i.e., arc trainer & cycling). avg'g 80-85% intensity. yesterday, i've to rely on cuppa of blue mountain to stay awake for the pickle king at srt. i couldn't do much today. even at the pool, i was feeling lethargic (less than 30?). something so mild should not bring me down. i need a rest from rejection.

pre-reunion dinner at imperial treasure (teochew cuisine) with family was delectable. on the table:
1. "fatt choy" salmon yu sheng - 4/5
2. superior shark fin chicken soup - 4/5
3. pea shoot w/garlic - 3/5
4. frog legs w/ginger - 2/5
5. roasted goose - 4/5
6. "chuan jiao" chicken - 4/5
7. sau beancurd w/mushrooms - 3/5
8. deep fried prawn balls - 4/5
9. fried homemade vermicelli - 3/5
10. fried rice w/meat & floss - 2/5
home-cooked food is still the best. as usual, we'll be having steamboat next sat.

so much so for v-post.
