千九百四十一: Flu

Alone for this week - Ryo was back for a day on Saturday after Tokyo and left for NY on Sunday morning 6am? :s

Yesterday felt like the longest day I ever had to spend by myself. After Ryo left, I went to Shinsaibashi to join the Nike Run Club's run, which is held twice a month. It was around 7km but with the people around, some runners started chatting with me while running, it actually didn't feel that long. Plus we weren't running that fast to begin with as I was having some weird pains on the outside of my left thigh/knee. will definitely join the next run again :)

Last week is kinda blank in my head, I can't really remember what I did. Last weekend I ate french food & went to NakazakiCho. Sunday was some work thing at Shinsaibashi for Ryo Work work work for the first 4 days, went to buy my macro lens on Friday and ate Ippudo Ramen, Saturday was just french class and lunch and then just hanging out at Starbucks. Ryo went off around 6am on Sunday, I went to the Nike Run Club at around 7.30am, then came back for a shower and change before I went to take pictures of plum blossoms (梅 ume) at Sumaura park.

The view from the top of the mountain at Sumaura Park was breathtaking, but it would have been nice to have had someone to share it with. I saw some couples, both young and old, sitting on the benches taking in the view, taking a breather from the climb and was feeling a little sorry that no one will ever be seeing this view with me (because I am never going there again). There was a teen who had jogged up (from his jogging attire and towel) who was taking a rest there as well, our eyes met, and I thought he wanted to say something, but I wasn't really in the mood to chat with anyone, so I just looked away and moved on. He was quite cute though ...

Got flu or some sort of flu that results in a stuffy nose, hope it gets better by the end of this week. Looking forward to seeing the girls from Tokyo this weekend :)

千九百四十: Lethargy

Relaxed week this week finally - got to do abit of my own stuff and finish up stuff that I wanted to do and meet up with some friends for dinner as well. Wanted to start running but the first run I finally went for after a 3(?) week break was a painful one. I think I didn't stretch enough and the old pain in the back of the knee came back and I had to walk 4km home :(

Of cos the pain carried on at least 2 days, so I stayed at home and strived to do at least 30 minutes of Yoga daily instead. I think it's working because my arms are aching like mad from the yoga and legs alittle too but I can finally touch my toes. First half marathon on 20th March. 1 more month! argh!!!! maybe i will die at the run.. :x Planning out next week's training now, hopefully I can keep to it.

Made chocolates for the first time this week, the problem is that it doesn't harden, i read and re read the recipe and i couldn't figure out where I did wrong.. does anyone know why??

千九百三十九: Chinese New Year 2011

Ryo's first time back to SG after the wedding, his first time here during CNY as well. this week was soooo short, half taken over by me trying to clear work early in the day and late at night, but thankfully for great colleagues who help to back me up for the past few days.

1 week in sg is too short, there isn't enough time to meet up with everyone i want to meet and meet more with other friends too. and not enough time to eat the food i wan to eat too.. since it's CNY.. have to spend priority time with family first then friends. at least managed to take lots of pictures.

back in japan now, the cold is killing me. 2degrees today! (T.T) wish I'm back in sg..
