Another Kind Of Run.
Woke up at a decent 8.30am, partly due to the fact that mom wants me to go to some wedding thingy, which I couldn't be bothered to. Plus my nephew coming in and announcing loudly that it was already 11am! Wonder who put him up to it... Hhrrrmmm mommy??!!! Hubby had already left for his softball game at some unearthly hour, 7am or something crazy like that.
Switched on RTB to catch the Brunei Marathon 2005 thingy. When they interviewed the Brunei winner, I couldn't understand what he was saying about all the controversy and hot news and getting all emotional stuff. But as the interview went on, he then explained that he was supposed to be on the Brunei team for the SEA Games in the Philippines, but because of some transgression he was supposed to have committed he was taken off the team. Ahhhh... poor guy. I sympathise with him. And yes! He couldn't have run 42km with just 30 minutes training! Anyway, heartiest congratulations to him. To be running against international marathon athletes (of which the first 5 winners were from Kenya!) clearly shows this Brunei guy has some Chutzpah in him. Well sir, at least you'll be laughing all the way to the bank! You make me proud!
Ok.... I'm hungry now... time to make dinner. Hrmmm.... toasted tuna sandwich? Yum... NOT! I still have this craving for Japanese food, so I've been surfing the net for Japanese foodblogs and menus (I guess as a way of curbing my hankering for the yummy stuff) and I found Wagamama's site! Aaaahhh....making me feel all nostalgic. Looking at the menu, I even remember what I used to order; Yasai Yaki Soba with Elderflower juice to drink, and the whole thing would have cost less than ₤8, which is about B$18 then. More expensive now with the current exchange rate. Aaaaahhh... but those were the days.....
