Decided to take away the curls...after 2 years of wavy/curly hair...its time for a change. wanted to have the locks snipped..deliberately changed the salon to ensure that i dun get a bias opinion from the stylist. alas..the stylist at The Hair Shop cajoled "no cut" as well..i guess might as well just leave them..and just straighten the hair for a change.

End result...fantastic. Felt refreshed. Looking fwd to a brand new year. I'm excited.

Week-full of activities
Indeed, the week ended well, very well. The company trip to bintan was fantastic. Spent some good time with evan, the girl talk and lazing by the beach under the brolly, sipping our cocktails, with ipods plugged on....total bliss. The cocktail party at the bar was the main highlight for the trip. Lil tots with their wrists adorned with fluroscent light stick bangles, whilst the adults had a pretty blinking star hung down the neck. Lucky draws, christmas carols and photo taking made the hr and half fly past real quick.

Drinks drinks and more drinks...alcohol rather. the bosses drank non stop..the guys had a swimming competition in the pool. Alicia and myself became victims...had to go for 2 laps of swim in my sundress!?! gosh...

the uniform dress up party was great FUN! thanks much evan babe!

Run run run.....
Did the stanchart marathon this year without training. it was as good as courting my own death. and needless to say...it certainly did. the run brought back rather interesting memories and a brand new experience ths year. my first time running as a non participant. the route was pretty much the same as the previous years..yea...during my more fit days. haven ran anything beyond 10km this year.....today's attempt is very much the first for the year.

was rather reluctant on the run initially...but after some thoughts...decided to end the year with a finale..quite cliche..but true. a rather physical and mental enduring activity. there were throngs of participants for the race. quite interesting to know how singaporeans take time off on a sunday morning for this activity.

kinda strange...but the excitement and adrenalin which i had in previous years seem to have dwindled this year. the race was not exactly inspiring..somehw..i think i would have preferred a triathlon to a marathon now. running the 42km seems a little mundane. weather today was nt at all kind. the scorching heat started at about 9ish...yet another experience which i've not gotten for a while. running in the early mornings and evenings is so much more enjoyable.

post run lunch was banana, papaya and some cakes from da paolo gastronomia...yum......

another excuse to indulge in desserts since a decent bit of calories was burnt at the run. hehz..
