Sunday-16 Nov..so the day arrive at it is mark as the dying point for me...need to wake up at 2.30am so i gotta sleep early but how am i supposed to sleep at 8pm or 9pm when dats so super early..finally able to doze off at around 11pm n at 2.30am ma stupid alarm clock rang..damn.y must it b dat fast..so took my breakfast n get prepared..so at around 3.15am left my house with my grandpa cute little scooter driven by kok leong..tot dat ride a bike there we could park nearer but da damn police block the road and da nearest we could go was pantai jerejak but oh well its still better den driving a car as it would b a lil further..so waited for ah kang to reach and we walk to queesbay to register ourself.so we received this to identify ourself as so called runner..





So the mens category for half marathon started at around 4.30am and women at 5.00am...there were the lion dance,cheerleaders shouting around the starting point..and once u heared PANG!!! start stretching ur leg n move ur hand..RUN!!!!!



Fun Run Starting Point


my beloved friend KANG KUAN HUAY dumped me just after the queensbay roundabout and da next time i c her was when she was at the opposite direction of da bridge..horrible her..baddy her..luckily ai peng was with me..so obviously i was just jogging n walking all da way..pretty semangat at da beginning..after dat jenama X battery KO..according to da runner's guide there were 11 refreshment/drinking and sponging stations scattered around the journey..so the first station was a power bar station n its somewhat kind of gel thingy which i didnt take..n my friends says dat after taking it lagi thristy and make ur tummy "hang hang"(in hokkien) n after dat no more station untill the midd span..after running 1 hours pluss pluss oni got drinks..gila..as the second station located were out of stocks as they only supplied it to da earlier runner..so all we could c its a cup n sponge all over da floor n could not use it....finally da midd span is could b seen..it took me 2 hour to walk from queens to da another end of da bridge...y must they make da bridge so super super long..it only take 30min using car i guess.*without jams*.(rarely use da bridge)..wakakak..



View on Bridge

As we were making our U-turn at da end of da bridge we were givven another so called wristband a.k.a rubberband to notify dat we did run till the end..




and it took me 2 n da half hour to walk all da way back..so total 4 hours n 30 min where i was supposed to fin da run 3 hours n 30 min..haha..jenama X cant beat da energizer batt bo huat..lag 1 hour behind..at least i made it till the end..haha..intend to sit da sweeper bus but just keep going on walking till i reach the end..THANK GOD this sign appear or i will soon collapse...
