Week 1 of my getting fit program begins! Actually I started one day late because of my work schedule and had to start on 30/01. It was pretty easy, just a 15 min walk following by another session of (Walk 5 min, Run 1 min) x 2. Walk 5 min. Didn’t manage to find the Nike+Ipod system (so no distance clocked) but think I’ve got to at least get new shoes, my trusty SAF shoes gave way pretty much after one round 
Felt pretty good doing this at the park opposite our house so shall aim to continue the rest of the schedule this week.
Home made mugs
Made a mug (mine on the left, the one on right is done by my sister) using the coiling technique during the 4th pottery lesson.
We have progressed onto using the handwheel. It was so much fun! It was very satisfactory to create something out of a lump of clay. Looking forward to painting and glazing my works! I sure hope they don’t crack under fire!
Mic is pretty excited about my creations as well, especially since they are not fired yet and not ready for me to take home. Pity he didn’t join me though, but he was sweet to partly sponsor me for the expensive hobby. Thanks, Hubby!
My pottery work!

Been taking pottery lessons with my sis at Brompton Road since the beginning of this year.
Pottery is something that i have been meaning to take up for some time, finally decided to try my hand at it when my sis took the trouble to do the research and since i have company in my sis.
In the picture are the dishes i made during the 3rd pottery lesson through the technique of slapping. First lesson was on pinching (the most difficult technique in my opinion) and I produced a bowl and a die. The second lesson was on hollowing and I made a box.
Walk to Run : Beginner
Just read about the Nike+ running program at Nike Running Europe after doing some light reading at BinaryBonsai and decided I should really get started on my “Getting Fit” plan for 2007. Used to run a lot back in NTU days but have since hung up the running shoes so thought I would try a less ambitions schedule instead of the 5k plan.
Goal : To get fit in 12 weeks
