Hello bloggy! Its been such a long while since my last post....here are some updates=)
I'll start off with some rainy news first....today was Pinnacle ( Its an AD race organised by NP X-ventures )
There were complications at the start when our catergory ran the wrong route for like 25 mins? =.= yeah can't believe they made us back-track to the start point and flag us off again?! Its like WTH!! They should have been more clear of the route...Ran like 3 KM with Jason at least....wasted our time and energy.
Signs were not clear, Instructions from helpers ( some of them ) were unclear and misleading as well!
We were top 4 until this particular station made us form the letter 'M' with puzzle pieces ( 4 cut and laminated paper )
Spent an hour at that station.
At the end, though I didn't show it, I was filled with sorrow and disappointment for not even finishing in the top 3 or 5. Its my last year which I can join as an NP student and I really wanted to WIN so badly, I've joined enough local races and have sufficient experience =( . Now I join races expecting to be in the top 3 or top 5 at least. but today was such a BIG disappointment!!!
Jason was a wonderful partner and I enjoyed most of the race. But It really sucks not to be top 3. =(
In another AD race organised by NTU. It was ATC we came in 4th=) we had super loads of fun.
That race beats Pinnacle hands down. I would join again!
I'll upload the photos another day =)
On a Sunnier note, SNSD has released a new song!!! so did Kara!
SNSD with their new look is even more jjang!!
Heres Tell Me Your Wish by SNSD!!
Kara's same heart!!
I really want to join an AD race and finish in the top 3 at least!
Thanks Matthew for SNSD youtube vid!!
enjoy=)

Hey ppl! Its been a long time hasn't it? here are some updates
Cooking for myself week was a success! woots congrats! its been a long time since I last cook my own meal. Instant noodles aren't counted!
Here are some of them though..at least those which I remembered to take a shot before I gobbled them down..
Salmon, broccoli and asparagus in cream of potato soup.
Potato Cakes 
Penne with broccoli and asparagus
Really nice! gotta cook more!! yummyness + Happiness! On the 20th of May S.W.E.T successfully summit Mt. Everest!! Woots! Congrats to the girls!
A major step for women in Singapore! I was at National Dental Centre when I saw the news on CNA.
They've since returned from their expedition yesterday. I've also completed Adidas Sundown Ultra-Marathon. I had to jog/run/walk for 9 hrs 45mins and shrug off aches and tireness to become an Ultra-Marathoner! Woots!84km was no joke...having to run 2 rounds suc*s. Tips for aspiring Ultra-Marathoners
1) Join and Run with a friend2) Don't bother bringing Ipod or any MP3 ( after awhile they become a burden )3) Train for it ( unless you wanna die )4) Carbo load ( rice are my choice! 2hrs before the race latest )
5) Don't Chiong the 1st 10km
6) Warm-ups and cool downs are important 7)Don't do any other excersies before the race ( example sports climbing )8) Have fun and take loads of pictures
So glad I trained up for it! Ran beside Khari during the marathon..man he's fast!(I would have enjoyed it more if you stayed on..but whats past is past)100 Plus was my liquid gold
Bananas are now my all time fav fruit during/before/after race.
Another Achievement for me!
Congrats to all 42km and 84m Finishers! it was tough but we made it! ~ryuta~

I'll start off with some news from the S.W.E.T( Singapore Women's Everest Team ), Last update was on the 07 may..they were making the push to the summit!!!
Imagine that! I hope they made it without any complications.
8850m A.S.L is no joke! Being on top of the world, I wish I'll get to experience that some day too!

A post from their blogIt's crunch time! The acclimatization cycles are complete, the weather's looking good and we're feeling more prepared than ever. At the crack of tomorrow's dawn, we'll be headed for the summit push, towards the top of Mt Everest at 8,850m. Stay tuned, we hope to bring you good news from the top of the world!This reminds me of a year ago where I myself was in Nepal for my own expedition to Everest Base Camp ( 5500m A.S.L ) organised by my senoirs. 04 - 25 March 2008
It was the best outdoor adventure I ever had! The trek was fantastic! The memories made their will stay in my mind for the rest of my life. It is one of my proudest achievements so far! =)I was the youngest in the team then 18 years old.Heres some of the memories from last year
