Wet Day for a run

Its sunday morning again, running day... set my alarm to wake me up at 5.30am with the mission of waking afew others - Muzhong, Siswi and Weiye. Gave them their morning call, changed up, set off to pick OMP...
The sky still looks ok when i set off, till i reach OMP's carpark, it started pouring... Wah lau... bad omen, but thinking ECP still far away and no one from the east called me to inform me bout the rain, there's still hope.
Reach ECP, no rain but once i parked, signs of lightning flashes by. Dun care, press on, not raining yet... Waited for the perpertual latecomers to arrive - Leonard to be exact, forever late...
Siswi and Qiming joined us, its been a long time since they last joined us. Qiming finally bought a car, heard it was a gd deal, 60k for a Renault Megane. Sounds like a gd deal, but its french, so beware... not exactly reliable.
Leonard and Khim arrived at 7am, Weiye came at 7am too, he ran over from home, i gave him a morning call too early so he went back to slp and overslept. ... ... ... Sleepyhead.
We started running finally, me, weiye, muzhong and alex intended to run 20km, i was taking it slow today, not pushing at all, coz my body has not been performing rite these few days so dun wan to take any chances. By the time we reached 6km, it started to pour!! Wah lau... sian... I and weiye dun mind pressing on but there's 1 consideration thats stopping me... My handphone!!! SO we took cover, but too late.. wet liao, buttons not responding. @#$%^ But the magical thing bout Nokia... juz keep whacking the phone to force the water out, once the keypad dries up, its functional again!! Haha
Stupid rain coz me to stop 2 times + my stomachache, total 3 stops... after that wat momentum oso gone liao... total distance today... lousy 12km.

Since the run is unsatisfactory, hit the gym juz now too to compensate. After picking yx, went to queensway to buy a new pair of badminton shoes, all thanks to the fucking bastard that stole my shoes... Wanted to buy back the same range but the thought of the possibilty of it getting stolen again make me tulan... so bought a cheaper one this rd...
But hahaha, as per all my shoes, muz mod abit to make it look nicer...
This is before:


And after...

Nowadays shops dun sell conventional shoelaces anymore... took quite awhile before finding a shop that sells them...

Set off for badminton this morning only to find out that SOME CHEAPO BASTARD STOLE MY SHOES!!! WTF!!!

Nabei, they were not exactly new, liddat oso kana stolen... Now i gotta get a new pair... @#$%%^

Wet day

Today's a really wet day, been raining since morning, stopped and rained stopped and rained... Weather's cooling throughout the whole day... Gd for lying on the bed watching anime.

Back from Firing

Finally back from firing, I hate firings, dun ask me why, juz hate the nature of that exercise, after the incident during the last firing, i was on my toes this time, quite nervous, and had to regain back the damn confidence.
Juz before we sailed, the night before, we had prayers and offerings for the 7th month onboard, for smooth sailings and fair winds, hopefully this yr would be smooth for us...
I guess our sincerity could be felt this time rd, during the firing, our shots weren't exactly great, but during the last shot we shot down the target!! Hoho... Thats a big hoo haa. Boss says its due to luck, no pride but what the heck!! Who cares, even if someone shot the target down within the first shot means is marksman meh.... oso luck wat. Anyway thats why we prayed the night before.
Don's doing great for this yr, with simcen level's at green, shot down target. Juz hope some nitty gritty stuff wouldn't obstruct him like ippt, and the rate he's growing, the bmi...
Its pass midnight whe we sailed back, as always... after we secure from the ship, most of us were hungary. So supper at mac's, there's nuthin special bout having supper at Mac's, only this time, we brough along a vegetarian. HAHAHA - Joseph.
We were psycho-ing him, can lah, join us lah, eat fries and apple pie lah... vegetarian mah. So he came along. When i sat down with my meal, i saw him at the counter, so i asked Low,
"Oei, what's Joseph ordering?"
Low: "McChicken meal"
Me: " Huh? he can eat meh?"
Low: " Can, he order McChicken Meal....... without chicken"

Me: ROFLMAO !!!!! *(roll over the floor laughing my ass off)

Low: " The counter gal stunned, huh? what did you order?"
Low: " Joseph say McChicken Meal, without chicken. The gal still stunned... then Joseph say my friend is a vegetarian...."

Me: *Laughing till tears came out...

Can't wait for Joseph to come back with his meal, when he did, we all laughed again... not mean, juz plain funny, couldn't help it...
Then saw Joseph unveiing his McChicken Kosong and started lining up fries to replace the patty, we burst out laughing again... Glad he could take it...

This week's run..

There's this run for cancer event going on at East coast today, emails were actually circulating ard saf to support the event... Its 5km and 10km run. So i checked with our usual runners and most preferred our usual run so we went ahead with our weekly run..

When we met up, everyone came up with excuses like tired, shagged, so they wana run short, since Siswi was running the cancer run with her new boss and officers, we decided to run to their starting point to rv her... its has been a long time since we saw her, and juz nice the starting point is our 10km u-turn point. So off we go, met up with her, did some chit-chatting and ran back. We had some new additions to our group this week - Samantha and colin, although they were late so we started without them but they did turn up... which is gd.

Off to old town's for breakfast after the run, which made the run ineffective, intake more than output... ran for nuthin, haha. But germaine's got luck, we manage to find seats at old town which is rare due to our group size...

Lukoo helped me locate my AHM finishing pic, my sundown's pic couldn't be located, so here it is...

The AHM results are out!!
The organisers have once again proven themselves, its very informative... I'm really impressed. Much better than what Sundown presented despite the higher volume of runners...
Only hope the design team can inprove on the FUGLY event tee...

My timing is 2H08min, juz what i clocked...

Here are my results screenshots:

AHM/SBR

Juz came home from army half marathon in the morning, meetup with the guys at 4.30am, parked at marina sq, proceed towards starting point, they started early today, at 5.22am they flagged off liao. The roads were wide thats the reason why it looked like alot of ppl but when you run it's not as congested as you expect. It was a very gd job by the event organisers, the routes were gd, adequate waterpoints and the water points were very long so they were not congested at all, gd signage, cheerleading, performances, encouragements along the way to help distract the fatigue minds...

It totally changed my view about AHMs, after hearing so much, i joined only to experience running benjamin sheares bridge and i expect not to join again, but this year they haf really proven themselves, even leonard who ran past AHMs was all praises.. It was so much better than Sundown.

Dun know why, marathon distances always seemed longer than our normal training distances seemed to be running so much longer, i didn't need to drink for 21km distance, but see so many 100+ waterpoints, i finally gave in and drank at 14km mark... wah.. its chilled!! Siao liao addicted liao, after that i drank at every waterpoint. Juz before the ending point, pass the 20km point, I cramp again!!! wah lan eh!!! @#$$%^&* WTH!!!! It happened again!! Juz like sundown... what's the matter with me, i didn't haf this problem when i was training... It always happens during the actual run. Dun fucking understand... But this time experienced liao, dun care juz walk fast bear with the cramp till better then run again...

Timing: 2H08min

It was much slower than wat i aimed, abit disappointed... At least it was a gd experience, with eye candy all around while running... Great job to OMP, Muzhong, Roy, Leonard, Ivan, Marcus, Zongren, Mingkiat, Weiye, Lukoo, Alex, CM, DYCM, Junkai, Zhenrui, Puay Kee, Paul (who ran 10km ONLY) . I oso ran into couple of old friends at the padang, Tat Hong, Kelvin Lim Poh Teck, Viktor, Joyce and some familiar faces of regular runners in ECP... Well Done all!!

My number tag and the finisher medal...
