The past few days I've been trying very hard to work out. However, I'm not sure how long I can sustain my routine. Every free time I have after or in-between work, I try to work out.
Day 1: Boxercise
Day 2: 5km run
Day 3: 2.4km run
Day 4: Body Combat
Day 5: Pilates, 50 golf swings, 1 round of Bedok reservoir
Day 6: I decide to rest
Another 8 days to go to reach my 2 week get fit plan. I hope I can continue to be so hardworking...
Of random pictures and highlights of the trip and not in sequence. Shall upload all the rest in FB - when I find the energy to do so...
* Taking the cruise down the river to see the skyline.
* Pearl of Orient at night is much better looking.
* evening skyline.
* Pearl of Orient. The popular tourist spot. It's a sky tower basically.
* looking down.
* I liked my self taken pix the best. Caught the sticker that I wanted to in the background.
* spotted a beautiful architecture in XinTianDi. A very hip place. But it feels more Robertson Quay than Clarke Quay. Only nicer. We went to a local pub called Luna and moved on to another club supposedly opened by Carina Lau. I liked that place! The DJ was good... But the pix of the drunken people are really not so nice. Shall leave them out.
* spotted an olympic torch
* Zhou Manor. Was a really enjoyable location.
* we took the boat rowed by an ah po... she's really mean. try to frighten me by rocking the boat...
* spotted faux pas. we were super amused with the shop name.
* a popular place. good for shopping for souvenirs.
* visited my fren's home in Shanghai
* Went to watch the Circus. It's a daily affair, with a permanent location. Very pro. I loved the performance! There was a live orchestra and singer performing along with the troupe. And there was really effort to do up the backdrop and props for the different themes.
* Hermes spotted!
* the best food and value for money for the whole trip. If you go to Hang Zhou, please try this Wai Po Jia ....
* what else you can't miss in Hangzhou - West Lake (i.e. Xi1 Hu2)
* Westlake ... Lei Feng Ta
* the boat we took on the westlake.
* poor guys were facing the crowd on the last row of the tram we took. It was so crowded, i bet they felt like animals being showcased.
* a climb up to the Pagoda in Hang Zhou
* Hang Zhou Long Jing Tea boiled in spring water. V expensive. This one was S$10 per glass. But it's really nice. 
* gorgeous foliage. beautiful willows, bamboo trees etc.
Dong Po Rou - unabashly the best I had. at Zhiweiguan in Hang ZhouThe following dishes are only part of 2 of our meals when I was in Shanghai & Hangzhou. Every meal we have about 6 cold dishes and 8 main courses. And there were 8 -9 of us at any 1 point.
This is pure overeating for 8 days. Every meal is like a wedding banquet to me. Now I feel overweight. Out of real fear of becoming overweight, I have started exercising since the I was back.
Boxercise on Fri, 5km run on Sat. Shall do some routine every single day. Anyone need exercise? Call me! Oh please let me lose all of them in 4 weeks max!
I'm back from Cape Town. Jet-lagged. It is such a beautiful place, I even wish that I can retire there...
Having some jet lag, and lots of things to catch up with. Shall upload the China pix too... soon.
I'm going away on company convention to South Africa. Shall update all my pix when I'm back!
I think technology is great. I can announce my absense on all the alternative sources like email vacation response, facebook, msn etc.
I'm going to Shanghai and Hangzhou... hoping that it'll turn out better than I expected. And I shall take plenty of pix with my new sony cybershot!
Shall update when i'm back!
Was with maZe and Cynamie at Tampines 1 at Manpuku. I only joined them for dessert and the fruit tart stall really looked very attractive and so we joined the queue for the fruit tart.
It took us about 20min to get the pie. And at $7.80 per slice, it's pretty expensive for a tart. It's so pretty that we thought it should be good!
* however... my advice is ... skip the fruit tart. it's full of whipped cream. and it's so dense and tasteless. looks beautiful... but not worth the queue and price... the other stalls seemed worth a visit though... tampines 1 is good!
