Urban running

Been at Grand Copthorne for the pass few days, have been hosting a conference over there, thats why i'm there all week... During this period, got to know alot bout the hotel as a guest... objectively, the rooms are small, view not very impressive, the buffet sucks and overpriced... Service is ok but everything else is overpriced. Dun even understand why is Grand Copthorne so expensive, nuthin special leh...

Anyway, after the conference, OMP, henrence, mingkiat, zongren and me decided to do some running... We start from Grand Copthorne -> Central mall -> Furama -> Central -> Funan -> Padang -> Esplanade -> Sg Flyer -> Pitstop -> Beachroad -> Bugis Juction -> Bras Brasah -> Carlton Hotel -> Hotel Rendevous -> Plaza Singapura -> Centrepoint -> Heeren -> Takashimaya -> Wisma -> Wheelock -> Great world city -> Grand Copthorne.

Its a new experience running along the busy streets, everchanging view, interaction between ppl, the hustle and bustle, the occasion breeze of air conditioning as you run pass the building entrances. Total distance ard 12km, but its a diff kind of running, with so many traffic lights it became more of a 12km interval running. Siong leh... not use to it but i like it!! Weaving through the crowd, challenging... Will be expecting more of this type of runs... Told leonard bout it, he dun seem very keen but khim is... haha

Btw, below is the route for sundown...
