RUN 350: A brand new experience.

By -
Woke up at 4am in the morning today for the annual RUN350 10km event, with Mingwei.
This being my very first running event, I was reluctant to sign up for it (at first), and was rather nervous when the day of the run was approaching.

What if I get an asthma attack?
If I die, will anyone take care of my Pokemon? (HAHAHA jk)

But I kept telling myself, if I don't seek to improve myself, I'll be letting my medical condition burden me forever.
So I took this challenge. 10km may not seem like much, but it's actually quite a big step I'll be taking :)

Took the shuttle bus from Yishun to the Esplanade and CBD area.
The morning breeze at that area was indeed refreshing :)

We went to queue up at the starting line a little earlier, but I guess it's worth it, only to see the few thousands of people gathering behind us..
It started to drizzle a bit, but it died down soon after that so I'm pretty thankful.
20 minutes of waiting passed really quickly and soon... FLAG OFF!!
(not my picture)

So.. How do I go about describing my run?

Jogged at a pretty steady rate for 5km..
Walked for 2km... (that was where I lost sight of Mingwei)
Jogged for another 800m...
Walked all the way to the last 500m...
Dashed to the finish line.

And poof. 1 hour 16 minutes.
I can't say it was really good, but it wasn't too bad as well....
But most importantly, I finished the run. :D

1 STEP CLOSER TO BEATING ASTHMA
Went to poop after the run. Forgot to lock the door and... shit happened.
Good thing that wasn't a girl who opened it LOL

Okay lah, I was TOO TIRED to lock the door. :x
Took an MRT straight home, took a bath and went to sleep.

This marks the end of my very first competitive run..
A refreshing experience indeed. :)

 Typical marketing strategy these days. Okay anyway, I encountered the signboard on my way to checking out the game shop last Friday with Speed, Sheep Marcus and Theng. Speed suggested a brand new hobby to relieve my "always so short" temper, and it's Warhammer (google it up if you wish). It's some mini scaled war (board) game that consisted of really cool playing pieces which includes futuristic soldiers, gigantic insects, undead and really cool stuff. The kick of this is to paint your own playing pieces using a really fine brush... And let's just say the average playing piece is only slightly larger than your thumb. Training for patience indeed. But the cost of just to start the hobby kind of turned me off. LOL Like around $50 just to get a starting army. It's really cool to get into a hobby like that with your friends, so I'm thinking of getting it for real when I have extra cash towards the end of the year. Speaking of $50. FINALLY FIN...

The Cab - Angel With A Shotgun (lyrics)

By -
One of the really good songs I've recently heard.. So I'll upload the lyrics for ya. -If you even bother to sing along- (I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun...) Get out your guns, battle's begun, Are you a saint, or a sinner? If love's a fight, then I shall die, With my heart on a trigger. They say before you start a war, You better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, If love is what you need, a soldier I will be. I'm an angel with a shotgun, Fighting til' the wars won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have? ... and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight. Sometimes to win, you've got to sin, Don't mean I'm not a believer. ... and major Tom, will sing along. Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer. They say before you start a war, You better...

2015 at a glance..

Hey peeps. 2015 has indeed been a hell of a year. I graduated from poly, worked at a nice place, went overseas, got enlisted, blah blah blah Since I have some time now I can talk about them one by one.. I HARDLY HAVE TIME 3 years in Ngee Ann was indeed fun. Now that I think about it, if I went to SP, I'll never get to meet this bunch of fuckers who mean so much to me during my time in poly. We lepak together, sing k together, eat together and etc etc. By the way, "etc" means "end of thinking capacity" HAHAHAHA They're all grown up now and busy with their own lives (3 signed on to the air force, jeez), and we hardly have time for one another which is kinda sad.. But I'll never forget that poly has happened, and I will forever be thankful for that. Bitches be shoppin', est. 2012. Never forget! After graduation, I had some time to burn so I went to work at Marken, Shei's intern company (google that!). It's a compan...
