Reunion dinner on the eve was at his brother’s place. We had steamboat. On the 1st day, we visited his mother and on the 2nd day we visited Uncle Lim (from Mr25 group). We also met uncle chia and uncle Oh there. Good to see them after 2 long years. Next time I will be staying just a few blocks away from uncle Lim. On Friday night we had steamboat dinner at my brother’s place. I was supposed to have lunch at Keewee’s place on Saturday but I wasn’t feeling well. So I slept the whole afternoon but woke up just in time for another gathering at Conrad Hotel with a few sgrunners. Here are some pics.

Morning run on Saturday, followed by lunch with sis & Jon at Sakae Sushi. Slept the whole afternoon. Watched “cloverfield” at Bedok cinema — think it’s the cheapest, but one of the oldest cinema in Singapore (tickets at just $7 instead of $9 per adult during the weekend) in the evening. “Cloverfield” is one of the worst movies we’ve seen. The movie is similar to “The Blair Witch Project” i.e the actors run for their lives under the eye of a shaky hand-held camera. We had motion sickness and were both disappointed with the movie especially the way it ended. Kinda incomplete ending I think. Had a yummy curry fish head for supper!

Gym on Sunday morning. My BB Bench press was increased to 30kg (6 reps x 5 sets) with dar assisting me. As for my BB half squat, I just did 1 set of 60kg before I decided to reduce to 50kg and 40kg (with more reps). Dar wasn’t too happy with my decision as it was meant to be a power workout. Then with the machine: hamstring, back raise, calf raise etc. I prefer working with free weights because some of the machines are too complicated and aren’t comfortable to use. I ended with a 2.4km run at the stadium track under the hot sun because the gym’s treadmills were all in use.

Attended my colleague’s wedding on Sunday evening. Here are some pics. More in my flickr (private) and facebook.

Today: Felt like running at East Coast Park (ECP). It was already 6.45am when I started but I still went ahead. By the time I finished, it was 8.15am! Yeah I was a bit late for work …

Sunday: Weight training at the gym - 20kg bench press, 40 kg squats, hamstring curl, calf raise, abs — i.e the usual main stuffs. We were planning to meet sis for lunch but we felt quite lazy to go out haha. Shall meet this coming weekend.

Saturday: Had a satisfying 2hr run in the morning. Nowadays I don’t know how many kilometers I’m running when I do my long run. I just count the time. The rest of my Saturday was spent at home, either in front of the labtop or TV or was just sleeping.

Friday: The evening at Timbre with the colleagues was fun. I didn’t really drink — just a few sips of Erdinger — and I came back home by 1am as I didn’t want to ruin my Saturday morning run. We ordered 2 flaming towers (waterfall), one for D who just left the company and the other for L who’s tying the knot this Sunday. Took tons of pictures. More in my flickr or in my facebook!

Thursday: Photo shoot was fun but tiring especially towards the end of the day. It drizzled a little while we were shooting outdoors. Damn. But I guess it won’t really affect the pictures. A sunny weather would have been much better of course. I hated dragging that outdoor gown on a wet surface.

We went to play paint ball at Orchid Country Club. It was my 2nd time playing paint ball (my first time was also with my company back in 2005) and it was much more fun this time. Last time I was stationed at the tower and had to shoot at my opponents but this time, I ran to the box and I managed to get the box a few times. We were divided into 4 teams of five and my team won! So we received $100 each! Not bad eh Buuuuut I got a lot of ugly bruises on my arms!!! I hope they will heal fast i.e before the wedding photo shoot!!

Dinner was at a Thai restaurant and after that, some of us headed to Dungeon. It was another great night with the colleagues.

Had dinner with my bro, sis, couz and in-laws on Saturday. We went to The Vila’ge — my 2nd time in less that a week and I might be going there again with my poly mates soon haa — I like this place! It has this warm and cosy setting. We ordered several stuffs including ox tail (?), the famous pig knuckles, pure veggies, pizza, nice deserts etc. I didn’t try the ox and the pig knuckles. I’m on my way of becoming a vegetarian. Well I’m still eating fish though as I still can’t suddenly exclude everything … little by little … but thinking of turning into a full Ovo-Lacto vegetarian soon. I’m feeling great so far. It kind of feels weird when you tell people that you want to become a vegetarian. Of course they will ask you why. Then when you eat out with friends, it feels a bit odd too. Well maybe it’s just me eh

Anyway here are some pics of the night … We went for a movie after dinner. Watched “Warlords“, a 2.5 hr chinese movie with english subtitles. It was a nice movie.
