We the Pink South East Runners

Race day, we were all geared up! Well not really... to be honest, the last time I ran was last summer. Err yes yes I know.. and then I got really worried about it last week but somehow I just couldn't find any time to go running (excuses I know, sigh) so I told the girls no choice man, I'm just gonna pray and go.

Sunday morning, bright and early the sun was out shining.. SHINING. In fact it was boiling. Just like Singapore. There were more than 9,000 pink runners gathered in Blackheath Park and the atmosphere was amazing.

Before the run: Gabby, Me, Silvia, Sarah and Sarah



Gabby and I were doing it for our moms, and soon did I realise that Silvia was also running for her mom, and Sarah was running for her aunt. It could be quite emotional if you think about it, but hey we were focused on the run.


We finished the run with a good timing (I'm not telling you hah) and look at how red my face was. Another inspiring run, seeing how many people are running for people they know and love.

A lil medal for completion of the 5K run

Till next year.. if I am still here, I'll definitely be up for it again.
Now, I need to get ready for my JPM Corporate Challenge at Battersea Park tomorrow. Oh God help me...

I know this now sounds really superficial but love those shorts of yours. Remember those as well, they are in one of my many boxes in a storage place in Stuttgart... :)

Good on you for doing the run. Remember when I did it quite some time ago. It was so emotional and so uplifting at the same time. Well done!!! And keep running those races!

Miss you so much,

Sabrina xxxx

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Our Seoul Adventure (Part 1)

Gosh life has been non-stop since coming back from Seoul.  Work has been very busy, and then Izzy had stomach flu and I was a bit under the weather too.  With this, one month just zoomed passed. Been meaning to continue our Seoul adventure. Day One To be honest we had a rocky start on the first day.  Our 2am flight was delayed till 3am and we were super groggy when we got on the plane.  Kids were sleeping and we had to wake them up.  The stewardess served us food at 4am and we had no appetite whatsoever.  Made worse by the turbulence which scared us so much.  I think in total we each slept about 4h that night.  So thankful that our kids love traveling and did not whine, but i did feel like i floated out of that plane into Incheon airport.  My original plan for Day One was to explore the palace area, have the famous ginseng chicken soup, and then visit the Bukchon hanok village.  Followed by a nice Korean BBQ for dinner.  The mo...
