Good golly, I just let my mum talk me into signing up for the Stanchart run at the end of the year! I was half-hearted about it initially and braced myself from getting my ears nagged off for even thinking of running again so soon (actually about three months plus) after the birth. So you can imagine my surprise when she didn't miss a beat and said, 'Ok come join me - I'm at the registration booth already'. Bwahaha! I've decided there's no point in killing myself over it so the plan is to just go slow and ease myself back into running again when I'm all better. Hopefully, the 10km route will be a manageable one to train for. Good, I now have a post-baby flab-busting goal to work towards. Whee, can't wait to dust off my Adizeros again! Funny, last year I completed the half not realising I was carrying the then-few-weeks-old bub with me (!) and this year, Foops said he and bub will be waiting at the finishing line. Aww, the imagery makes me want to cry. We're gonna come full circle, how 'bout that? So, anyone up for babysitting duties while I train? :)  Game for repeated torture - yeah, bring it on!*Pic from last year's run - see entry here. Tags: family, jellybean, race

This post is clearly late and should have been up last week. But hey, cut me some slack, I was in three countries within one week... This photo was taken this week (Monday) rather than last week. I did plan for some other photos from last week but decided to post this one instead since it meant more to me. This was my breakfast at Singapore Changi airport on Monday morning, as I was heading back to Hong Kong. My flight actually departed from Terminal 3 but I really wanted to have some kaya toast for breakfast and made the trip over to the Yakun outlet at Terminal 2.  In Singapore and Malaysia, there is a traditional breakfast of soft-boiled eggs with kaya toast, a sort of fusion breakfast as a result of British colonial past. It resembles boiled eggs and soldiers in some ways, in that the toast is dipped in the soft boiled eggs and eaten. But instead of being placed in an egg cup, the soft-boiled egg is cracked open into a small dish. Dark or light soy sauce and white pepper is added to taste and then eaten with butter and kaya (egg and coconut jam) sandwiched between ultra thin and crispy toast. This is also where the name of my food blog came from - Soy and Pepper. This is not the most healthy breakfast, to be honest. The kaya has coconut and sugar and we are not talking about a thin spread of butter with the toast, more like thin slabs of butter! But oh god, they taste so good. The soft boiled eggs are always cooked to perfection at places like Yakun and Toast Box. They almost look like poached eggs in the photo above but they are cooked until only just set and yolks very runny. Andy thinks that my soft boiled eggs are always undercooked, while I think he likes his overcooked. Tags: food, singapore, weekly photo

We're slowly teaching Chris time. We bought him a clock with magnets on the back of it a while ago and it's stuck to our refrigerator. He calls it his "Hickory Dickory Clock."
When we first got it, Chris was obsessed with the clock constantly reading ten o'clock. We had no idea why this was, and whenever we tried to move the hands of the clock to something else, he would come along and move it back to the ten o'clock position.
Recently, he's become more interested in the clock. He'll go up to it while I'm making lunch or something, move the hands around, then ask what time it is. Sometimes I ask him to show me what two o'clock, nine o'clock, or six o'clock looks like, and he'll point the hands to the correct numbers.
He also loves the digital clock that sits on our nightstand, and every night before bed, he'll point to the clock and tell us what time it is. He can only count up to thirty-nine, so anything above that makes no sense: for example, "Mommy! It's eight-five-one o'clock!"
Last night, he pointed out to the husband that it was 9:11 on the digital clock, after which he quickly ran out of the room and into the kitchen. The husband followed and found him at his hickory dickory clock moving the little hand to the nine and the big hand to the eleven.
"Nine eleven o'clock!" he exclaimed proudly.
Well, that's something, even if it's wrong.
