New Balance NB1063 - Neutral-Cushioned

Las Montanas... This is for you! =)

now that I am done with my studies, and unemployed... lol. I have lots of time in the world... maybe I will start doing reviews on New Balance running shoes!

Starting off with NB1063 since LM will be getting that!

Personally, I own a pair of this! My feet is slighty high arch for my right side but normal arch for my left, so usually I go for a Neutral-Stability like NB769. But I use 1063 for short distance jogs etc, and I must say that they are very very cushiony... and just like all (or most) NB shoes, with their 360 degrees FIT technology, this pair snugs around your fit seamlessly. I am not a expert in this area, so lets see what others has to say!

Models Update...

So Far Seoul Good - Part 5 - Post race BBQ - Myeong-dong - Faceshop

So after my first lunch which I had at the food court at COEX mall, I went for my second BBQ which was sponsored by NB! Korean BBQ, the moment that I have been waiting for... gaaa.

It is a small cosy restaurant, and the tables are all arranged parallel to each other in rows, just like a canteen!

Pork... How I wish it was beef...

Kimchi soup in stone bowl

The side dishes... Kimchi, seaweed, beansprout, and the pink curcular slices are actually preserved radish.

Eat it the Korean way!
Wrapped a slice of meat in the veggie, along with a piece of kimchi!

Just outisde the restaurant, there was this van that sells korean souveniors... Korean Chopticks and spoons, drums, dolls... all of which are very ex!

After lunch... we went to Myeong-dong ( my favorite shopping district). The things there are more expensive, but they are definitely of better quality.

First we head to the New Balance outlet there to take a look...

That's the new balance outlet, a 2-storey shop

The shop was veryyyy crowded with locals... I guess that is how popular NB shoes are in Korea! This goes to show how smart Koreans are when it comes to buying a good pair of running shoes! :)

custard cream filled pastry

Everywhere I go, all the streetfood likes the same to me... boringggggggg

The smell of cuttlefish caught my attention! I went past cuttlefish stalls 1... 5... or 10 times??? I have the urge to buy, but I was so full from my lunch-es still...

In Seoul, the place that you must go are the shops selling facial products!

Brought our Singaporean's spirit to Seoul! hahaha... Everything was like 30 - 50% cheaper than Singapore faceshop... That is why I told my sister tht Koreans have very good complexion because they can afford to buy lotssss of facial products!

Why is it that everything in Singapore is so ex... the food, the shopping and transport in Singapore is more expensive! No wonder we are the top 10 most expensive city to live in. damn.

I dunno why but we always go laughing away whenever a piece of that ciruclar thing flew out from the machine... It literally flew! I will post up the video of the process later! haha.

The morning earlier at 8am I just ran my 21k, and after that I have been walking non-stop. Ended our Myeong-dong shopping trip at around 8pm. 12 hours of walking with little rest... My legs were sore and I can barely squat or climb stairs... lol...

In appreciation of my mum - Happy Mothers Day

I have never in my life told my mum how much I appreciate her. She cook the tastiest and healthiest meal for my family, so much so that I always yearn to go home for her home-cooked meals. During my exams, or when I get real busy with my work (when I WAS still a student), she will help me pack my protein-loaded sandwiches..Tuna... chicken breast etc, understanding my special dietary needs... lol. HL milk, eggs, Peanut butter and bread, which are my favourite and MUST for breakfast never run out everyday... Not just me, she never fail to pack breakfast for my sister as well, because she is very concerned with our health (not that we are unheathy)... She give so much, without expecting anything back... I really think that she is wonderful! Saying all these here, but for the 20 odds years, I have never told her all these... =X

Hopefully my gesture shows all.

In appreciation of her love and care towards the family, I brought her and dad out for lunch... :) cos I did not share in the present which sis bought for her... hehe. Wanted to bring her to MOF for her dessert fix, but she told me she is craving for LERK THAI! So... well... Lerk Thai for her...

BUT BUT... After my workout session today (a BAD session, totally unmotivated), I was hungry, so I had my protein meal at
Astons Specialties at Sembawang Shopping Centre!
