It's been more than a year since we last went out of Singapore. So we went to Hong Kong and Macau on July 30-August 3. Just a super short trip. To visit some friends and to tour around. We flew via Cathay Pacific. We arrived at the HK airport at around 12noon. We were so amazed that there's mountain near the airport (it's been a while since we last saw one). We arrived at the hotel at around 2pm, because apparently, our shuttle bus caters to other hotels also. And we were the last to alight. We met bing at the hotel and decided to eat out. She took us to the Central, which is in a different island. We rode the ferry. It's so cool that you only need 1 card which is the octopus card to go around HK. Then we went back to the hotel. Bing and I had a girl talk. While Caloy had a drink with his former boss. At around 9pm, we went out again and look for some authentic chinese resto. We found one. We ordered dim sum and sweet and sour fish. Very yummy! The next day is a complim...

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 ...

A week before the Marathon, we got our Race packs already. We are so excited! It'll be our first race. Bahala na si Lord sa kin.. hahaha... basta my goal is to finish the 10km in less than 2hrs :)

I just registered myself and of course my hubby for the SCB Marathon on December 6th, 2009! Woohoo! Goodluck to us! We have 14 weeks to prepare.
