This weekend is rather hectic and tiring, but fruitful though. It all begins on Saturday morning when Guoheng woke me up from my sleep. Yes... I overslept! Suppose to meet him for gym session @ 9.30am, but ended up sleeping till 10 -.-" Still, we had a great workout,n a great vegetarian buffet lunch after tat lah!
Its quite odd to see liang ge da nan ren go out shopping in Orchard together, but tats excatly wat we did lor. GH wanted to buy some christmas presents, so I accompanied him to gave some opinions and comments. The funny thing is, it was me who ended up buying more stuffs -.-" My last blog chalked up quite a number of items in my shopping list. My customised running shoe would cost between $269 to $299 bucks! and my sunglasses would cost me a whopping $235 bucks. Verdict: I MUST BE CRAZY TO SPEND SO MUCH ON SHOES N SHADES.
Went back to Marathon Expo again to check out some of the running accessories. Its not my nature to advertise, but I would highly recomand NEAT 3B Action Cream to all those Runners out there. It sort of helps prevent Sweat Rash & Chafing (abrasion) p.s. I am not earning any commisions for this lor, its just a preference...
Yesss ... The day has come. 42.195KM Standard Chartard Marathon. An international event which attracts thousands of professional runners all around the world. Its really an eye opener today to see some of the elite runners fly pass me (in the opposite direction i mean -.-) Think they have completed the race even before I reach the halfway mark.
The weather was terribly hot today, think its one of the toughest run I have ever completed. Suffered from muscle cramps on and off along the way, but with the huge supply of ice mountain, 100 plus, 1 banana and a power gel, I somehow managed to shake it off to complete the race. The finishing was great, really looked like a superstar as I approached the finishing line lah. With all the cheers from the crowd on both sides, and the cameras flashing away in front, I was almost flying lah... haha A very proud moment to remember bah! =)My timing was approximately 5 hours and 50 minutes bah, not a fantastic time, and I would look foward to clock a better timing next year.
After almost 6 hours of gruelling endurance running, tears weld up my eyes as I clutch onto my priceless finishers medal and T-shirt. p.s the tears part is abit kua1 zhang1, the truth is I was totally exhausted and my legs were shaking like jelly then.
Yun brought me some egg rolls from Malaysia in the afternoon. Its also the first time I really got to meet her dad, mum and da mei face to face in person. Heard from Yun tat the comments from her dad on me is quite favourable leh ... haha Danny, Yao Jia You lor!!!!
First day @ work for Yun tomorrow. Enjoy urself lah darling! =p
Haizz ... its the end of the day again. Going back to work tomorrow would be tricky considering myself walking worst than an old man now. I am seriously surviving on deep heat now to ease the pain. Anyway, its a long week ahead, going to zzzz......
