Number 1 Comfort Food

Jet lagged and hungry. Came to Denny's at 4am for my Grand Slam! Oh so good!! Grew up waiting on tables at a local diner in Reno, I have known the menu by heart. From the way they fold the silverware, jam stand arrangement, ketchup bottles refill, to the sugar packages ratio... It all meant a lot to me. Yummy and fluffy pancakes, links and crispy bacon, with perfectly done over-easy eggs. This meal was comforting on so many levels!

Neknomination


Don't know how/when/where/who started this neknomination thingy. It somehow got to a friend in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, who nominated CLin in Seattle, USA. Who nominated ELin in Taipei, Taiwan, and WW in Gothenburg, Sweden. ELin then nominated me in Hong Kong. I then nominated JF in Hong Kong and Sivalove in London, United Kingdom. 

Not sure how/when/where/who it will end. Just love how it travels around the world within 24 hours to connect with all of us =)










Run Jenna Run!!!


To continue my 10km race story...

People told me not to run a couple days before that and I took the advice and beyond-- I stopped training a week before the race. LOL! Doubted I could ever run that far, but since the four of us signed up together, I can't flake on them. I just can't.


On race day, instead of going home at 6am, we got up at 6am for a change. It was a chilly 7C morning in Sheung Shui. We managed to get there and walked to the starting line RIGHT on time for the race. Told DC & Doublechin to wait for me at the finish line and they ran off, lost sight of them in the crowd shortly after we started. Bin Bin said he would jog with me at first, and then he couldn't take my snail pace and ran off into the crowd ahead of me. Hahaa... So there I was. Tired. Lonely. Out of breath... Then I saw the 2km sign. hahahahaa... Still freaking 8km to go. Many thots came and go during the race. One that stayed was, "Let's pick an easy target! I NEED TO CATCH UP WITH BIN!" Really didn't wanna be last so I ran. Ran and ran. Walked a bit and ran again. At the end, I didn't catch up with Bin Bin. Still the last person to finish as expected, but I was able to finished the race with 1 hour 9 mins 45 sec. Slow but proud :)
















January 19th 2014. The day I ran my very first 10km race!

快樂的早餐A




















小時候每日都會落屋企樓下嘅合作社食早餐。每日都係一樣食早餐A:火腿通粉腸蛋多士。今日約咗老豆食晏,竟然發現茶餐廳早餐供應時間至十一點半!而且仲有細個成日食個一個餐!食得好開心嘅時候,老豆笑住問我記唔記得細個有一次遲咗起身落樓下無早餐食,我就坐咗喺度喊!合作社老闆見到即刻叫廚房整番個A餐比我食。諗番起覺得呢份人情味好窩心!亦都成為咗我同老豆好搞笑嘅回憶。今日我同老豆食呢個早餐食得好開心!

要贏人先要贏自己之跑步篇



















跑步並沒想像中容易。

自問一直有做運動,ok健康,當快離港嘅朋友單單十一月時問我參唔參加一月個10km賽時我諗都無諗就應承咗,仲叫埋我個workout buddy瘀青膝蓋同埋朋友辮辮一齊參加添!仲喺run keeper set好咗一個星期練四次,好有信心可以用兩個月練跑同時減肥。十一月時跑咗三次之後好肯定地證實咗:我好唔鐘意跑,亦都跑唔到!接近放棄邊緣。

HEA咗一整個12月之後發覺原來無乜時間剩啦!好想放棄但係又好想同瘀青膝蓋一齊跑下去,又唔想輸比unfit的辮辮。同時好想同單單完成哩件事,當係比單單冧走前一個美好回憶吧。好!練跑去!

上星期六同瘀青膝蓋去咗香港公園跑上去寶雲道。唔好講少,我跑咗整整兩分鐘後就跑唔到啦!行一陣再跑上去,竟然有窒息嘅感覺!扯氣扯到自己都嚇親。嗰一刻覺得個肺只得個蘋果咁細,真心肯定我並唔係cardio嘅料子!好不容易行吓跑吓終於捱咗一粒鐘。之後用一個假期嘅時間平服挫敗感後決定再比一次機會自己,用龜速步伐配上強勁音樂嘗試連續跑個平地5km。結果我成功咗!

唔知我兩星期後可唔可以完成10km。其實關鍵再於我有幾硬頸,只要我唔想輸比自己堅持每次練跑都要比上次跑遠啲跑快啲我相信有機會完成一件我本以為好容易嘅事。

待續

2014 Resolutions















Happy New Year!

以前年年都會做年度總結,2013唔做了。過去就由它成為過去。2014新一年新開始!今年希望過得開心就好滿足了!

  1. 減十磅!唔係講少,只求去返一年前個正常磅數。務必要食少啲!多運動!
  2. 多啲陪Mallow。以往飛得太多,近來發覺Mallow老咗好多!開始怕終有一日無Mallow等我返屋企嘅日子,亦唔想佢等我返屋企係佢唯一可以做嘅事。
  3. 隨遇以安,要學懂不強求。保持好心情,發方正能量!就是要同正面朋友多聯繫。戒講是非(好難!少數密友除外[笑]),要多發覺別人優點。
  4. 食得健康啲,每晚12點前瞓。
要做足以上所有resolution,我個2014將會無得輸!!!
