yours until the mountains crumble to the sea // color run

totally in love w <baby i'm yours> by the <arctic monkeys>, and hence the blog title.

the smooth jazzy tones brings spirits up u_u

attended the first-ever colour run yesterday w samantha loke.

the tickets sold out so quickly but i rmbd i vigilantly stood by my computer until the ticket sales opened at 3.00pm and then waited for the ten minute delay before getting it. i think jas n jodi were at my place planning the tw trip!!

all worth it.

and i bought the tickets for sam too. heh. although the color run is def enjoyed w more company to infect each other w craziness with (next year guyz), sam was being a cheapo and come to think of it we did pay fifty bucks for the experience so we might as well

• use the marathon cups to collect powder and sprinkle it over ourselves
• sit on the floor to get color on our pants

• take photos at every color interval

• walk past the red color rly fast b/c it's such a strong color and it makes us look bloody. then the color combination would be swell.
• take photos at the beach

• walk, period. 1.5 hr for five km bitchaz ~O~
• collect the end-of-run powder
• collect banana

• collect 100plus
• buy color run bag (me me me)

and i had much fun showering after that because the water is a light pretty magenta color.

this is my #potd hahahahaha sam has some good eye for older men srsly- but not in a creepy bad way
(she got this rly cool dude to take a photo of us and we were surprised he could work the iphone camera!!!

)

potd: they are japanese-looking malaysians that can't rly speak english but like all marathons, strangers become friends and we are so lucky bc they had extra powder so we spammed quite a number of shots w it.

"scuse me, could u pour powder over us while we take a photo?" ☺☺☺

besides the color run, hate to be sounding so self-absorbed and ughhhhierughir (can't find an appropriate term) but i am glad i managed to clock in a few consecutive days of running in the neighborhood.
it's always a weird timing of 2000hr, but it has been successful for a few nights already and i am determined to keep this up until great eastern womens run and beyond. i managed to jog to penny university, past the garden slug then uphill towards olps then feeling the cool floaty downhill breeze of the megasteep slope. the scariest road run i've ever done but discovering new routes to run always makes it much more enjoyable.

as for the terrible bingeing problem which has plagued me and eaten me from my inside since maybe the start of the year, i've only the lord to thank as i find my footing and try my hand at making meals w nutritional value. i am going to love this process and find out for myself that great meals are healthy meals.
need to inject some positivity within me to flush away those negative thoughts about food.
if you're reading this and having crazy mad stress in tackling sugar-laden foods, remember that sugar only gives you a temporary rush of feel-good hormones, and it makes you more tired after. and it makes you stupid. sugar is evil as a comic book villain - and yes too saturated w health book information right now.
but i managed to stay away from those pineapple tarts on the dining table which painfully tempts me everyday i walk past it, and the heavenly meiji ice-cream bars in the refrigerator for four days and counting. usually i would cave in and mindlessly polish everything in sight.
gotta maintain this for next year when i'm taunted with the ever-sinful hall food and cold weather which might lock my lazy ass in the house for maybe ever.

/oh and i've had a bit of time thinking back to jc days; how i've acted around people, what i wished i would have done better to hold it all together. looking back in a third person pov, i would think the past rebecca was too obsessed w what people thought of her and the people whom she stuck with or never got to know. labels were inevitably tagged on every student there and the past rebecca shouldn't have cared about it so much, really. it's so different right now, out here. none of the school politics really matters anymore, and all we have to do to thrive here is just to be nice to every single person you see. i know it wasn't like that in school at all. can't really change the past, though i wish i could so life could be a little bit more :-))))/

went w dad to the natas travel fair. 4 dollars paid upon entry and in the expo, crazy mega structures that separate each booth. and just a flood of lights from every corner, and deals advertised like they were cheap consumer items. i found a stupendously cheap bkk deal: 88$ for 3D free and easy!!!!!!! but ofc they wouldn't. looking out for hong kong deals instead, but i still would love to try faraway lands one day, with or without a travel buddy.
if all goes well, there will be a holiday trip to sydney in sept and i'm excited to experience australia.
and bhutan in december
hong kong in january w jasmine and unidentified person(s)
a destination w claire
and so thankful sydney the girl, debs, weiling and jan and crystalline are so game for a quick getaway!!!!
so hungry for a trip to europe or usa though ahhhhhrrrrrrghghrh
