Coffee Workshop
Before going to buy some red fai chun paper in preparation for the upcoming volunteering work on Monday, I decided to go pick up my long due (beginner) barista certificate nearby. It just happened that there was a coffee workshop going on, I aimlessly went in the seminar room while the speaker was wrapping up […]
Run a Marathon… Check!
I survived my first (and possibly my last) 42.195k run! Nearly bursted into tears when I crossed the finish line! ? Received my hard earned medal for finishing the marathon. I had put so much sweat, tears, and blood into it, but it’s all worth it! I’m not sure if I enjoyed the run, just […]
Longest Running Practice
Completed my longest practice ever this morning! Ran about 24k, walked for about 10 min at 3/4 of the way and tried taking in a pack of power gel. My energy level seemed to have replenished somewhat as I didn’t feel the hunger towards the end like last week, but the joints on my left […]
Baking Class
Got my friend to take me to a trial baking class last night. It was my first ever cooking class, a very enjoyable experience. There’s something magical about the process of making bread – mixing the raw ingredients, kneading the dough with your hands, patiently waiting for the yeast to ferment, then anxiously waiting more […]
Half Marathon
Completed my half marathon run, 2hr 18min, my personal record! ✌? The half marathon was not the main reason for this trip, I hesitated to register when my friend told me about it after I booked my flight because I stopped my running practice for 3 months due to the hot weather in HK. With […]
Last Running Practice
Had my last running practice this morning before the half-marathon on Sunday. Ran 10K, took just a little over 60min, a personal record! Have been disciplined enough to regularly practice while vacationing. Practiced about 5 times, but doubt that it’s enough for the coming half-marathon, will try my best and enjoy the run on Sunday!
2nd Half-Marathon Completed!
Completed my 2nd half-marathon with an improvement of ~15 mins (unofficially) compared to last year! Thankful. Building upon experience from last year, this year’s run seemed more pleasurable and less exhaustive, it felt like I can run an extra 1 or 2k after passing the finish line! Perhaps I can attempt to run a full marathon […]
1st Half Marathon Completed!!
I’ve MADE IT!! I’ve completed my 1st half marathon!! Though slow (2h43min), I’m happy that I was able to complete the full 21K without stopping (I did stop briefly once to tie my shoelace). Although the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained throughout most of the run), it was a wonderful experience to run with so […]
Running
Completed 14K, my longest run ever!! That’s 2/3 of a half-marathon, 1/3 more to train up in a month’s time… Running long distance doesn’t seem as bad when I run slowly at my own pace.
723 Studio
I had imagined many times what the grand opening of my studio would be like – a cozy and joyful celebration with light snacks and drinks to serve family and friends. But I’ve been a bit too busy with work lately that I couldn’t find time to properly prepare for this big day. Instead of […]
