Went for my Yellow Ribbon Prison Run this morning after sending my brother to his came at Loyang. I was like so near to the starting point when I was there (which I didn't know at all) and was stucked in the jam when I was heading towards Expo to meet up with the guys (Ah Siak, Ah Tom, Ryan).

The December Babies.. Sagittarius Rulz.. LOLAfter settling all the barang barang in my car boot, we headed to the Shuttle Bus area to wait for the shuttle bus that will bring us to the starting point. As there was a heavy jam, we reached the venue late and while we were still on board the bus, we saw the runners starting their race already. After reaching Changi Village, we make our way to the starting point, realising that there was no sight of the Baggage Deposit area. After much findings from the Marshels, little did we know that the Baggage Deposit area is actually near the Bus Terminal at Changi Village behind the 7-Eleven. What the xxxx, we walk all the way toward the starting and then we found out that it's all the way back at the place we alighted out bus. The marshels at the alighting point of the shuttle bus should have directed us to go to the baggage deposit point, then we will not have walk so many extra miles. Grrr~~
In the end, we started the race like 1 hour late (LOR). Nonetheless, we still proceed with our run. The run wasn't that easy as there are a lot of slopes when we are near to 2.5KM. Up slope and down slope, which is killing me. But it's a great eye-opener for myself as we (or rather me) seldom have chance to really go in to those roads and found some great places to relax in future. Haha. It's a great historical journy I should say as you can see a lot of things. What's more, you can even see the condo like prison along the way (which make us feel like their live inside isn't that bad after all).
Coming to an end of the race, we ran pass the people who are waiting for the shuttle bus back to Expo and me and Ah Siak were been cheered by the people (those who have finished their run) and it was damn embarrassing can?? Haha. But nevertheless, thank Ah Siak for accompanying me to run all the way from start to the end, protecting me. Haha. I feel like I'm a queen. Wahaha.
It started to rain when we are coming to an end and due to no much shelter, we have to be drench in the rain. But well, I love the rain and it's been ages since I last got myself wet in the rain (the last time I remember was when I was in Secondary 5). Collected our baggage, food & beverage and goodie bag and headed off to queue for the shuttle bus. Just before we went to queue for the shuttle bus, we took some picture with the Kindness Lion. It's so cute. Hee.

One of my Favourite Gift, Paper WeightReaching Expo, we headed to get our stuff and change up before headed to Velocity to get the Mizuno Run Race Kit (Ryan is going for the run next week, hardcore) there after headed to Bugis for our Steamboat Buffet. (We are all hungry)
Started having the steamboat buffet at “鲜得来”at around 12.30pm and finished the buffet at around 3pm. You can understand how hungry we were and how much energy we have put in for the run. Haha. We actually have steamboat buffet for like 2 hours.

Me & Ah SiakAs we were too full, we decided to head to Bugis Junction for some window shopping before heading home. Went to various spectacle shops to look for specs as I am planning to get one proper one, and found a real nice one at Eyeplay. Most probably I'll go buy it. But then, it's quite expensive (S$228), maybe can get it after I come back from my trip.
Just before we left the place, I found a nice and cheap ring at Six (S$6.90) that can replace my existing double link heart ring for the time being before I get my Agnes B ring. It's a simple and nice ring I thought, plus cheap. Haha.
My new ringAlright, it's time for me to chiong my series drama show before I turn in. Then will be one week of work work and work again.
