woohoo. my fourth run for this year - Adidas King Of The Road. this would be my first time running 16.8km. so far, i have never tried running for more than 10km before, and all of a sudden i am running 16.8km. hopefully, i can survive.
had to share cab with Ginnette, Dickson and hos friend in the morning. yea, by way of taxi-hopping. Dickson will take cab from Clementi and all the way down to our house area to pick us up.
we alighted at somewhere near Esplanade area, and and and yeah i saw Rui Feng patrolling down there. haha. he was busy lah, so didn't went up to him. anyway, quickly walked over to the starting point at The Padang. it was super duper early, the sky was still so dark. deposited our bags and then walked over to the starting point.
number bib on
look at the distance.
i see already also started to worry, it's so long =/
lane closure yo
getting ready.
nearing to the starting point
START
here we go, off we run
it's gonna be a long run. started off with slow jog in order to maintain the stamina. and it's true that running slowly can maintain the stamina. i still felt full of energy when i reached 10km.
i was running together with Dickson and Ginnette until 13km, it was until there that i decided to run off for the last 3.8km myself to the finishing point. i see my handphone battery showing me the deadly red bar, and i was tracking my distanc half way only. so i have to chiong off to the finishing line lol.
yes, it was when my energy was drained out, i used up everything for the last 3.8km. i need to rest badly...
at 8km, half way through....
and yay. it's 10km
if it's my normal run, i would have completed it..
BUT now... i still have 6.8km more to go ><
and and.. .COMPLETED FINALLY after 2.5 hours...
after collecting my finisher medal, immediately dropped down to the grass field and rest. i am so tired after the run. waited for sometimes before i finally found them walking to the other end of the field.
we went to collect our bags first, before setting down and take a rest.
look at all the tired people.
so colourful!~

after so many gathering, the organising baton finally passed down to me, i have to plan something for August :/ with the help of my co-organiser, Seok Chin, we finally decided to go Singapore Toy, Game and Comic Convention (STGCC) 2011.
we went down to Iluma to buy the tickets on Friday, which was like just 2 days ago. haha. pretty last minute huh! we wanted to buy the tickets online, however it was closed already. no choice, but to go down to Iluma after work loh, and the organiser who is me has to pay $50 first for all the tickets :D
anyway, we meet 1pm at Suntec City. headed over to the convention and wait for our Rui Feng Lao Da, the only latecomer. haha. power lah him, he lost his way at Suntec. hahahaha. i made so many calls to him, until he finally managed to find his way from the arcade to the convention area. it was like so far away though.
STGCC tickets
enter loh
some random things i took inside
and i saw Yusri.
he cosplayed as ANGRY BIRD haha
left the place and dropped by Toy R Us to take a look, continue to see toys :D hahaha but then, we ended up playing with the toys there. playing with angry birds, barney dinosaur and monkey soft toys, all haven't grow up lah dey. hahaha.
then.... Starbucks time next, to chill chill.
happy playing uh
we walked to the Starbucks located at the very far end of Suntec, near the Carrefour there. but it was fully packed with people, not a single seats for us. no choice, but to move our legs and walked back to the Starbucks Coffee which was located opposite Marina Square.
instead of sitting inside the air-con seats, we sat at the outside open sitting area because our dear Eugene needs a puff. *blow blow cigarette* hahah. seriously, outside is very hot LOL.
chilling at Starbucks Coffee
my first time trying White Chocolate Mocha.
i like it :D
they were obsessed in playing iphone Street Fighter game
fight ahhhhh!!~
well, after that Eugene has to leave early for some 7th month dinner with his family. while the rest walked from Suntec all the way to Clarke Quay. Kay Wah left at Clarke Quay taking his purple line back home and the leftover 4 homeless kids went for dinner :)
we walked round and round, left and right, up and down before finally deciding to dine in at Japanese Casual Restaurant: Watami. i ordered Chicken Katsu without any noodle or rice. yes, just eat meat only. haha. i'm a meat eater. i love meat :D
Watami!~
spammed photos while waiting for our foods to be served...

hah. walked around Clarke Quay area after that, looking at different clubbing place. yea, most probably our next gathering would be clubbing :)
walk walk see see look look, and then walked randomly over to Fullerton Hotel and walked back. while walking and looking up at those high rise office building, we were like.... if one day, 10 years down the road we ended up working at one of the office on top. we would be recalling ourselves walking like an idiots 10 years ago dreaming to be working on top... well, it was just a thought, just an "if only", something like this will never happen haha.
took a few group photos at Boat Quay area before we left for home.

it's Natsu Matsuri again. i had work on that Saturday morning, so i managed to escape myself from queueing up outside the school at 2pm, under the super hot sun. haha.
i rushed myself down to Simei after work, to meet the rest who were queueing up just to be the first few to go in, and rent their Yukata. i reached there at around 3pm plus, just in time to go in together with them with out advance tickets.
queueing up to rent the Yukata
we managed to be the first few queueing up for rental. but still, we waited for quite long though. went inside, and this year was different from last year, we got to choose what colour Yukata to wear, haha. i choose the pink one :P and standard, all the guys chose blue one.
well, after that we met up with Yuuwa, Ginnette's friend. he ended up becoming our photographer for the day. hahaha. anyway, his photography skills were good.
we went to the corner of the place to have some photoshoot before moving on to look around.
posing happily
all of us looked so cute
say cheese!~
it was so crowded today. those booth all with super long queue, we have to queue for quite long to get what we want to buy. as usual, we bought Japanese Curry Rice to share, then sausage, ice cream, etc.
too many people inside, so we proceeded outside to the green field. super spacious, even with a stage to see performances. it's still as crowded, but at least we can breathe outside. we found a spot for ourselves, and then started spamming pictures.
