Who wants a twig when u can have the whole tree?

Over a pastamania dinner last Friday, a trekking friend, Xun and I came to a concensus on a rough itinerary for a Vietnam trip in late Oct. Where I use up my few precious days of leave... Sigh. I was a little hesitant about doing this. It feels scary not having any days left before the end of the year. *shudders* What if something comes up and I need to get off from work??? Anyway the tickets were booked yesterday, no turning back now... It should be good, I hope so. He's seems a careful, thorough planner. ^_^ I've never really travelled with anyone but my sis so we set out our personal peeves on the table in the hope that there'd be some form of understanding and tolerance throughout the trip. (You know how people say a holiday either makes or breaks a friendship/any relationship.)

I gave myself a pat on the back for waking up early (630am) on Saturday morning so I could go for a run in MacRitchie with a friend and his running clique. Though of cos it would happen that on the day I was feeling exceptionally hardworking, the weather would be perfect for sleeping in. *Pitter patter went the rain* So the 4 of us ended up going to the food centre at Lavender for breakfast.

After which I headed off for training at Kallang. In the evening we had a team BBQ at one of our member's condo in Jurong East. It was a good get-together for the team. It was rather interesting to learn that 2 guys in the team bake really well and all of us tasted the evidence of their talent. One who couldn't make it sent a marbled chocolate and butter cake along with the host while the other came with a beautiful berry cheesecake!!!

I was supposed to try to wake up even earlier on Sunday morning to make up for the run we missed on Sat. But what with all the food and the late night, I only crawled out of bed at 7am! (We were meant to meet at 7.) I had contemplated washing up quickly and rushing down for the run as my friend was egging me on. But after a few texts, I finally told him they should go ahead without me. Back to bed I went and only woke up at 11am, which meant I also missed my training at 10am. Sigh... Me lazy bones... For the rest of the day I'd planned to bum around at home. But jogging friend wanted to catch 'Hairspray' which I was interested in watching too so dragged myself out and was glad I did. Company was great and the movie very entertaining! John Travolta was amazing in drag! Hee.

Clearly I'm only alive over the weekends...
