Back in Moscow

1 week back in Singapore passed faster than I expected. At least I managed to do a lot of things that I wanted to and ate a lot too. My mum fed me like there was no tomorrow.  I'm also glad we managed to meet up with the girls on the day of my flight :) Till the next time I'm back.. it's now back to sitting on the sofa by my window side..

Bolshoi Theatre

Bolshoi Theatre looks beautiful when it is lighted up at night. I was told that it is not lighted up every night. It just happens to be Victory Day (9 May) the next day thus it was lighted up.   We caught an opera that day - "The Golden Cockerel" It was my first time watching an opera and I enjoyed it :) Since the opera was in Russian, I read up on the synopsis beforehand. However there was a screen showing English subtitles during the opera as well. I'm looking forward to more performances. Maybe a ballet next...

Moscow Peace Marathon

I just participated in my first overseas race, right here in Moscow.    All ready at the start line  I definitely overestimated myself as it turned out to be a tougher race then I thought it would be. The cold was unbearable to me and I ended the race with mucus all over my sleeves hahah. I did manage to take some pics along the way though haha.. We ran past a nice theater. The most stressful thing... no one walks during the race. Not even a 70 year old granny. I think I was the last runner of the 10km race but I'm glad I completed it. I think I can do it with more practice! :)    All these races are training races that lead up to the biggest event, The Moscow Marathon, held in September. I'm looking forward to the marathon but it will just be a 10km run for me for now.  We also managed to make some new friends during the run.  Maria and her husband :) Maria has been helpful in updating me about upcoming races. Looking forward to meeting them again in the n
