Hari Sukan Negara (10.10.2015)

2

A friend at work told me there is Fun Nite Run at the Town Square in conjunction with National Sports Day on 10.10.2015. It was an eight (8) km run. So, I told her, please count me in and register my name. There were 41 of us from our company participate in this run which have four different categories. On the other hand, usually my sister A is very update with any available run in Sibu but somehow, this time she didn't know about this run. She can not participate this run because she is on night shift duty.

Meanwhile, my sister B was able to join the Zumbathon which was started around 6.40pm and ended at 8.00pm. I saw my aerobic instructor on the stage. She is now a Zumba Zin. Glad that she did it. I have fun zumba-ing with my sister B. I am sure I didn't do very well because I left aerobic class quite few years now and I didn't really do this workout these days. No matter what, I sweat out a bit before start running.

We were suppose to run at 8pm but the organizer was waiting for the YB to arrive and we only flag off at 8.30pm. It looks like the event is not properly organized as well because run at night and it start very late. This is my second attempt after I failed to finish my half marathon (21km) in August 2015. I only managed to run for 15km and then my knees was so painful and I can not run anymore. So, I was decided I must finish the 8km run tonight.

Somehow, I DID IT!!!... I finish my 8km with 50 minutes. I didn't stop at all and I just run at my own pace not push my self so hard this time. My aim is to finish the run. I am glad that I did it. Thanks be to God.

Korean Food Cravings

0

My sister found this Korean Restaurant Page in Facebook and she really want to try it out. So, not to turn her down, I agree to have a try for our dinner yesterday. We went there around 7pm and there is quite a number of people already. After we enter and find a table to sit, we can see more and more people are coming. According to the waitress which is serving us, the restaurant is open for about three months now and the ratings is quite high for locals who love Korean food. Customers high peak is during dinner time. I can see it as the time reach 8pm onwards, more people coming and some are in big groups, families and friends. To find out more about this restaurant, can look at their Facebook page and search for it. The address of this restaurant is:
OMAYA RESTAURANT
No.38, Lorong Sena 8,
Jalan Pahlawan (Pahlawan Commercial Centre)
96000 Sibu, Sarawak.
This is the Omaya Restaurant page in FB.
What we have for our dinner? We have this (I couldn't get the name!).. I am sorry because I forgot to took a photo of its menu and I forgot the name of the meal we order. But somehow, I capture the photos of it. Hi hi hi.. I think I am not a good foodie blogger but somehow, I am a good eater. Ha Ha Ha..
The table for two
This is how table for two were set. We were served with this main dish on the hot plate and it will be fried at the table with no oil. I think it must be because of the fried pan looks very cool that we don't need oil to fry this mixture of veggies, marinate chicken, rice cake, Korean ramen and the Korean paste on it. Oh no, don't criticize me, I am very bad in remembering all the names of the cooking utensils (note that I cook at home btw..). Despite that main dish also the side dish which is of course my favourite all the time KIMCHI and soup. There also salad for the main dish.

The hot plate.. ready to eat! Spicy and hot.. ha ha ha
There are other dishes but since its only two of us, we only try this and I may say it is sufficient for our hungry tummy. As for drinks, there are varieties of fresh juices and also you can add on the candy cotton! But I didn't try the candy cotton because it looks very big on top of the juice glass....


This is the view of the restaurant from the outside entrance.
View inside the restaurant
My overall comments is, the food is awesome (only if you a fan of spicy Korean food), price is medium not too expensive and not too cheap (okaylah!), service is awesome because I can make friend with the waitress (thumbs up for her laugh and smile!). I give 4 stars! Why not 5 stars? Because the taste of the KIMCHI is not up to what I thought it would be. But somehow, already informed the lady owner that kimchi is not so nice.. (Phew!)

Try it out if you are in Sibu!

Karate Class Improvement & Feast Day of Our Lady of The Rosary

0

I feel much better today. Maybe because I sweat out toxic from my body during my Karate class after work yesterday. It was refreshing to be able to do some work out through that martial arts class. I was joining this class after a month I join my current employer. It is good that the company have this martial arts class as one of their Sports and Recreation activities. I enjoy the class very much yesterday because I can feel there is an improvements of each movements especially the basics such as punch, stand and kick. I did my combination 1 and 2 perfectly with slight mistake with my stand. But I did well! Yey!!

I didn’t attend any formal class of any martial arts after my high school. During my high school I took Karate Do as my extra-curricular activities but only for one year so I didn’t upgrade my level and only learn basics which is very tough for me. However, I admire my seniors when I saw them doing formation and fighting. It is so awesome! So, it was always in the back of my mind that I will learn again and my wish granted that I was able to join my company Karate Club. I start all over again with my white belt!!

After the class I went to the floral shop to buy a rose flower. This month is a month dedicated to Mama Mary so I was excited to decorate my flower vase with alive roses flowers to put up on my mini altar where I put Mama Mary statue at home. So, I bought three different colours which is pink, red and light purple. It looks so nice but no roses smell. I wish I have my own flower garden, so I think I should consider of planting flowers joining my sister’s hobby.

Here is my roses flower dedicate to Mama Mary which is higher and taller than my favourite Mama Mary statue. Somehow, I love the flower and I am sure Mama Mary love it too.


Today is Feast Day of Our Lady of The Holy Rosary, Happy Feast Day! Mama Mary pray for us and we too must pray the Rosary everyday without fail.
 
Have a Blessed Day ahead!

Sleepy is a Habit?

0

Two days in a row, I am sleepy and feeling very tired. I couldn’t think and just sitting at my table and staring at my laptop. The worst part is, I am in the office. I wonder why and asking myself, what did I eat wrong, what did I do last night? Nothing, I just eat normal, I sleep at 10pm and that’s it. Am I thinking too much until my brain didn’t rest well? Maybe but as far as I can remember, I just fell asleep last night. Without really thinking much before sleep. I only read my spiritual book and then I sleep.

I try to shift my attention from staring at my laptop by doing something else but still when I start to turn back to my laptop and start writing my report, my brain become blank and I start to feel sleepy again. Oh gosh! I don’t like this because I became unproductive and my task got delayed and nothing accomplished yesterday. Not today again. Please!..

That’s why I wrote this blog entry so I can make my brain works not to fell asleep again. I am not sure if this has become my habit but I experienced this since my high school days. When I am in primary school, I didn’t easily fell asleep in the class. But it started when I enter secondary school. I was an athlete back then but somehow, I always fell asleep in class. LOL. Until my friend gave me special nickname. You might know the character of this cat that always fell asleep after eating his favorite lasagna. I was called Garfield back then because my eyes only half open every time they saw me in my class. This sleepy thingy dragged on until I start working.

In college and university, I get used to be called by my lecturers and they asked me to go to washroom and freshen myself. But somehow, it only last a few minutes before I fell asleep again. This might sound funny or you may say, “It’s you habit already!” I try my best to overcome this sleepy thing but none lasts. It will come back. I admit that I struggle to overcome it because I cannot become productive in the office. Well, I know I must find out the cause of this. Thanks for reading!..

May you have a productive day and so do I..
