The SCB Marathon 2009

The day has come. Woke up early to eat the powerbars (provided in the race pack). Then geared up and headed to City Hall MRT station for the race.

From the Bus stop, we could already see people with blue shirts (the SCB uniform). And we saw more people on the train. It got more exciting when we reached City Hall MRT. The whole crowd was wearing the blue shirt :)

Carlo went to the starting line. The Men's 10km started at 7:30AM. So I went to the esplanade to meet up with Pam and Nerie.


At around 8:00AM, some of the full marathon experts have finished their race. Lousy (half marathon) was on his 8th km already. We were about to start. Jog jog jog, wave wave to the crowd and to the cameras... hehehe...

After the 1st km, Nerie and I started walking. Until the 9th km I think... hahaha... We started running again during the last km. It was fun, exciting, and I remember I couldn't wait for it to end coz I was so hungry!

Carlo finished the race at 1hr and 24mins, and I finished at 1hr 49mins. Not bad for first timers. We got our finishers' medals. Woohoo!!!


After resting a few minutes, we went to raffles city mall to eat. We had lunch at The Asian Kitchen. Yummy chinese food!!! After eating, we went home. Couldn't wait to shower and sleep again. Hahaha.

Random thoughts...

On being a w@wie: I've been a lurker at the w@w yahoo group for 2 months now. I think I've seen almost all the the wedsites of the active members. I always read their "about us" section. It's where the b2b's (bride-to-be) write something about them and their partners. Some put their love story there too. Based on what they've posted there, I think most b2b's are sweet, perky, bubbly, and funny girls. Also, I can sense how much they are soooo into their h2b's (husband-to-be). It's really inspiring to read all those posts on the w@wie's wedsite. Depression =( I have this weird theory that being depressed will make me lose weight... I'm soooooo depressed and sad about something right now... maybe I'm having a bad day or week or month... I don't know... =(

♫ You can't always get what you want ♫

I saw her today at a reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she would meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man No, you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want And if you try sometime you find You get what you need I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you might find You get what you need Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh... And I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" Sing it to me now... You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes well you jus...
