This week’s SHOOT week. I’ve been shooting since Monday and today’s the first shoot-free day! I’ve been 110% efficient until today (I’m slacking today, taking a break from the 3 days of full-on work!). It’s been 4 days since my 10km Standard Chartered run and I’ve been itching to get back to it! I’ll be running alone (unfortunately) later, well, literally right after this post! It’s addictive, trust me. I told myself last Sunday’s run was going to be my last 10km I’ll ever do (due to the slight lack of confidence because I hadn’t really trained for it, unlike my Energizer race back in March) but all the adrenalin before and after the run, the endorphins and serotonin outburst… it’s just wayyyyy too addictive to stop! Some friends have asked me if I’m gonna start doing a half marathon. By golly NO! I really enjoy the 10km and it’s almost leisurely. And why would anyone want to torture their bodies and run for 2 or more hours? I don’t think my body can take it and I certainly don’t want to try! Perhaps I’ll try improving on my time for my next 10km. Perhaps do it in less than 1 hour the next time round? Speaking of which, WHEN is the next run??

The day of the shoot was the first time I met baby Max in person. I’ve seen how cute he is in photos but he’s just so much cuter in real life! It’s very much also because of his calm and docile nature. He did not cry one bit, from lunch till the end of the shoot. He stared at the lights intensely and frowned after every flash but that was about it. I’m not usually good with babies but it was so easy carrying him. He was still and seemed to enjoy the pampering and all the attention he was getting. Baby Max was unbelievably good and so so so so adorable! Chris & Pearly are such lucky parents! Your job as mommy & daddy made easy!

Congrats to Chris & Pearly on their firstborn, uber-Charming Baby Max!

Looks like daddy?

Pearly, looking radiant and beautiful as ever!

This last shot is my favorite!
