SIA RUN 2014

-


On 2nd November 2014, I just had my first fun run after so many years! I think the latest one was when I was in the Army Half Marathon, back when I was in Army. I want to thank Tuck Leng for organising this event! And it's really a great get-together for the 4 of us and I feel that we will be participating more fun runs together!

The weather was fine and it's really great feeling to jog for a great cause - To give to Community Chest.
 We signed up for the 5km fun run. And we did it! Sprinting at the last 100m, as the loser will treat everyone breakfast. Tuck Leng and I tied at first place, followed by Lionel and Siyang came in last! Boohoo. I have never dashed so fast in my life ever!
 


There are many hydrating points and we had Pocari Drinks too.



So many getting themselves hydrated even before the run



Look! There are so many people attending!
The fun run started at 8am and we were all so enthusiastic about it! Taking pictures while we slow jog. Yeah. Jog and walk, take pictures and jog and walk and take pictures. You know the pattern already.

Fun run are great with friends!



We were so happy when we cleared the first kilometre!




The jogging path is quite scenic. Overseeing the Stadium.



Yes! The 3km mark. Easily...



We passed by the Sheares Bridge too...



Just before the finishing line, we took picture at the Pit Stop area



Look! The 4km mark. Seriously, we don't feel that we have jogged that much.

Yes! We completed the race and had the medals. Felt like champions.

I'm so glad that through this event, $5million was raised to give to Community Chest! It's really amazing that SIA organised this run. It was well-planned and luckily the weather was fine for the jog! We stayed on for the lucky draw. However didn't manage to win anything and the top prize was a pair of Business Class return tickets to anywhere!! :)

All of us felt great after the run! And it's all definitely for a good cause! And more fun runs to come right? :) Oh yes. There were winners for the 10km runs! And the top three winners are from overseas! I guess that they are experienced long distance runners. Simply hats off to them. There was also a event just for the kids - Kids Dash, for 7 to 12 year olds. Probably can get Josh to try when he's of that age!
 
I have came up with a list to bring for marathons / short runs.
1. Sunglasses
2. Extra Shirt
3. Extra Underwear
4. Water Bottle
5. Plastic Bag to contain the wet singlets / clothes
6. Camera
7. Some money
8. A pair of slippers (optional)
 
 
Looking forward to a next fun run!!

Kate's 2! A simple birthday celebration!

Kate turns 2 years old on 11th July 2013! And coincidentally, it's 2 day old for our new born too! We had to celebrate it at Mount Alvenia and it's certainly a fun celebration for Kate, and it's a simple affair too! We didn't manage to cook dinner and we ordered extra meals from the hospital. It's only $8 per set and they provide soup, vegetables and meat, fruits and juice! Really worth it. They only can provide a maximum of 3 meals! Josh ate all his rice and Kate loves the fish! Amazing. Of course, we didn't tell them that we are having birthday cake later. Or else, they will not be eating much of their dinner. Family feast! Love the pork vinegar dish! Oops! Pouring some of our home cooked soup that I prepared for lunch. Luckily we brought because we finished all the soups! Mother and son. Kate is such a loving sister. She pats her new born sister, as she was placed on the trolley which is used for the jaundice UV Machine. ...

Today, it's a fun day, well sort of. Got up and rushed straight to French Embassy for my first french lesson (beginner course). My teacher is Franck. He's a humorous teacher and overall, I find that french is an exquiste language, very special and interesting. I've learnt basic greetings for today. And time really passed very fast after learning. The classmates are of different background and age, and we are all having the same base of french (aka, having no knowledge at all) haa.. Yiwen and I actually wanna go to Orchard. However, we took the wrong side. We took 171 to Bukit Timah area instead! Then we U-turned. I went to Pointers to cut my hair. And it happened that the manager cut my hair. So lucky eh? Not many people would have the chance to actually cut by him, have to make appointment and pay $20. But because he is shorthanded, he came and help out... :@) Then, I rushed to meet Shaun to go to Camp to clear all our stuff. Lucky got him to help me drive fr...
