Happy Tunes for Sundown Marathon...

These are some of the tunes that will be rocking my wireless walkman when I'm running my half marathon this Saturday night:

1. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones
2. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
3. One Way or Another - Blondie
4. Hey Soul Sister - Train
5. The Distance - Cake
6. You've Got The Touch - Stan Bush (This song was featured in the cartoon version of Transformers:The Movie in 1986... Awesome track!)
7. Bust A Move - Glee Cast
8. California Girls - Katy Perry
9. 1999 - Prince
10. Nothin' On You - B.o.B. featuring Bruno Mars

Yes...I'm a sucker when it comes to the 80's and 90's music ;)

But still got the latest songs to mix it up...Hehe...

Okay, I'm off to Singapore now!!!

By the way, tomorrow's race will mark my 2nd year anniversary in running :) :) :)

Wish me luck!!! :D

Denim.

...is an obsession that I've picked up ten years ago...Mainly on jeans...

But the sad thing was that most of my jeans at that time were hand-me-downs from my older brothers...

So you can imagine how baggy the jeans looked on me... But of course, I didn't have any fashion sense at that time and just wear whatever I think that was 'cool' to my liking... :P

And I actually started buying clothes for myself when I was in my senior year in high school, and that wasn't really a success since I didn't know how to 'flaunt' or 'accentuate' my body...Hehe...

Hence, I started to understand the art of shopping and styling during my first year in Melbourne ;)

I started collecting non-other than Levi's jeans of course...

My Levi's Collection that I brought back from Melbourne

Then I fell in love with Bettina Liano's denim collection.... And pretty bought pretty much all of the jeans in different style or colour within 2 years after that...

My Bettina Liano Collection

There was also phase where I was into the 'designer' jeans... Basically it's the American branded jeans...Thanks to the celebrities and the fashion magazines...

My America Collection: Se7en Jeans for Mankind, True Religion, Rock & Republic, Citizens of Humanity, Guess 

I also started buying Australian branded jeans (besides Bettina Liano)...

My Aussie Collection: Portmans, Nobody Jeans, Satch, Sass and Bide, Bardot, Ksubi (formerly known as Tsubi)

There were also jeans from other countries that I've added to my collection:

My Other Countries Collection: Edwin (Japan), Diesel (Italy), Topshop (UK), Nudie/Denimbirds (Sweden), Iceberg (Italy)

These 2 babies were my best friends when I was buying all dem' jeans while studying in Melbourne:

and

:P

To date, I have a total of 35 jeans in my wardrobe here in KL... And I've left about 8 pairs in Melbourne... I told you that it is an obsession...A very bad one indeed..:P

Since I came back to KL, my denim maniac act has cooled down...Like A LOT!!! Guess coz the good ones are usually expensively priced over here and I actually have to pay with my own money :P

Lately, I've been abandoning my jeans due to the current hot weather in KL... But it's not going to stop me from buying another pair ;) There are a lot of brands out there that I've yet to lay my hands on... *wink*

And yes I know that I only have a pair of legs... Hah...

I do collect other denim materials such as handbags, pencil cases, skirts and dresses...But those couldn't beat my jeans collection...

So it was a natural thing to add 'Denim' as one of the 3-word title for my blog...

Think you can beat my obsession in Denim? :P

After 2-month 'break'...

I am BACK training with Sarge Dann, Corporal Chun, Lance Corporals and fellow recruits at Original Bootcamp in Bandar Utama for their complimentary one week trial...

So garang kan?

Don't worry, we won't bite! :P

I keep saying to myself: Whyyyy am I here?!!!

Thanks to Abe Yaz for this morning's pic! :)

Quote of the day

"I have often said that I wish I had invented the blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."

- Yves Saint Laurent, Fashion Designer -

Note: This is not a random post...Though I'm digressing from my usual posts on running...There's a reason to it (and I'm 'distracting' myself from being anxious over the upcoming Sundown Marathon) ... So, stay tuned! :)

Happy Friday! :)

Here's a controversial/funny ad by Pearl Izumi (a brand specialises in running, cycling, and active outdoor wear that's obviously not here in KL :P) that I'd like to share with you all:

Here's a close-up look on the copy:

Go and do other runners :P

Have a good weekend everyone! :)

A first timer...

And there's no turning back... 

I'm filled with a bundle of emotions at the moment...

Will I be able to accomplish this?

Be positive, girl... You can do this!

And you have about 6 months to train for it...

Nothing is impossible in this world when you have the will, right? 

(In this case, a superwill :P)

Oh well...I hope that I would be 'fit' and 'good' enough for it when that day comes...

42.195km at Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore, bring it on babyyyyyy! :D
