Happy 2nd Marathon!

Happy to run my second half-marathon today. Not sure if I improved on my timing but I enjoyed the run better this year.

Proud that I did not use any pain relief cream at all throughout the run (last year was a more painful run - guess it's like that when it's the first time).

Interesting to run through Sentosa and RWS but the uphills were definitely challenging. But I tell myself when there is an up, there will be a down (just like that are ups and downs in life but ups in marathons are bad bad bad). I'm not sure if I will ever have the chance to run through Universal Studios and wave to Shrek in the future, so it was definitely a nice experience!

Sunny day, got sunburnt (maybe it's time to get shades for running). And yes, 100+ never tasted so good!

Workaholic Women

Women are not only shopaholics.
I think we are workaholic too!
When I left office at 8plus the other day, 9 out of 10 people at the traffic junction off Capital Tower were woman (not kidding at all)... why?
Hmmm... maybe the men are working later... maybe...

HCMC

Here'a BLOG to the business trip to HCMC (hmmm I just blogged about colleagues in love and now I'm going to talk about war). The city's USP is the war - there's so many versions about the Vietnam War. I do not know which version is true. Its really subjective. But the best (heartfelt) thing I heard is that there are no winners in this war, because so many people died of it! I think I have seen most of HCMC and will probably not be going back to HCMC on my own. Here's my version...
