7 December 2008

its like 1 am in the morning and i am at jurong east MRT waiting for the stinky bus to come. and i felt so weird cos i am alone but only losers stay in tampines and take the tampines bus.

so i boarded the bus alone. sat alone. and took the bus ride alone. alighted alone. walked alone. and went to the toilet alone. :(

until food club finally arrived and felt really glad. hahah so we proceded to the registration tents to register for the.......................

STANDARD CHARTERED SINGAPORE MARATHON 2008!!!!

okay.... i was there to volunteer, not to run.. :(

after getting our shirts we had to head to esplanade park and we actually got lost. felt so stupid getting lost in singapore and kenneth was being irritating by not answering his phone. so huifen started arguing and fighting with him.

okay she didnt.. hahahah she just sounded damn irritated. good job hf! hahah

then we finally met our group members after the long walk.. and i was so so so so so hungry but luckily they provided food!!!! yay!!! after waiting for a while we finally proceded to our area (sector A3) which is near esplanade mall. so from 3 to 5 we just sat by the road and listen to ipod, read wimpy kid for less than 5 secs, play ds, talk and take photos.

food club + jabez from rp

most of the photos taken on that day were blur :(

double vision!!!

and do you realise both me and geraldine got super small eyes till you cant see them but yun jing has ultra humongous eyes that they looked kind of scary.. hahah so small eyes still better :)

jean yunjing gel!

me and huifen with our cool bagpacks. but i have no idea why mine is slanted to a side. but still it looks cool. hahahah cool kids with cool bags!

and i have no idea why my bag broke so many times :( huifen's one didnt break at all. thats me fixing my bag after it snapped.

group photo of the guys from dunman high. some were ex-dunmanians i think!

group photo :) without jabez who was the photographer cos he's a non-dunmanian.

as we were getting ready to dispatch to our various checkpoint, a police car suddenly drove past us and when it went past us it sounded it siren damn loudly. its not the kind of normal police car siren but a louder and scarier one. i have no idea why but i got a shock and i retreated all the way from the police car. and i couldnt stop retreating all the way till i hit the edge on the pavement and fell on my butt. i felt so silly. and the worst thing was i couldnt stand up after i fell. i think it was after-shock. hahaha i felt like an old lady/ pregnant woman as i fumbled to stand up.

damn stupid..

and the weather was super chilly. as i was waiting i felt super cold and when the race started and we had to stand and direct the runners, it felt worse cos it became colder. i felt so terrible as i saw the endless number of people streaming past me cos i desperately wanted to sit and rest.

but it was quite fun watching people run and its quite happy when you see people getting damn tired but youre like clean and resting by the pavements.

but the coolest was watching the blacks run the race. they are really awesome.. and when the first guy, Luke Kibet, a Kenyan ran past me. i was like: WOW. i felt totally amazed by him. he finished 42km in like 2 hours? thats super fast. and some of his sweat actually flew onto my leg and i feel kind of honoured. maybe it would diffuse into my blood and i would be the next champion for the 42km category.

anyway they were all really amazing and it was a good experience watching them run. and also see some weird people with weird antics.

then vanessa came to visit me cos she didnt run. she got super high cheering the people on and i am like wondering where she got all her energy from. while i am like half dead.

then we saw people we know and took photos for them.

we saw:

yuan wei and wai siang

jia jin

kian hong (he ran 21 km!!! i was so shocked when i saw him. good job kh!! hahah )

tricia and eunice!! hahaha

look at eunice.. -.- she looks super delighted to see us right! hahahah

then while we were waiting for the runners to finish running which seemed like forever. we got super sian and sleepy and irritated. cos the sun was really hot.. and at arnd 11 we had to direct the people at a different route as the route that was previously closed had to be re-opened. so we continued our marshalling. took turns cos we were all tired. waited and waited and waited but then people just never stopped coming in. it felt as tho the whole singpore was here to run except us. so we got v irritated at how they recruited so many road marshals and we practically do nth cos its quite obvious where you have to run... finally at around 2 we were told that the last guy was in so we could go. we were so happy cos we could go off to eat!!!!

super hungry!!!!!!! felt super xin fu when i started eating. it felt like i have not eaten for 10 days.

took a bus home. and missed my stop cos i was sleeping. actually i expected it alr cos i was half sleeping half walking in suntec. i actually bumped into this woman in wheelchair cos i was walking with my eyes closed. i could actually walk while sleeping!!! hahaha

so i went all the way to bukit panjang and took a bus home. and on the way there was this disgusting dirty old and ugly man hooking up with this maid. and the stupid maid actually gave him her number. she's so dumb i wanted to turn over and slap her for being such a cheepo woman. pls open your eyes bigger. if he's like damn good looking then its fine. but this guy is like.... no words can describe him.

then finally reached home. bathed. plonked down on to the bed and slept all the way till 12. woke up cos my mum had to transport me back to my bed.

anyway standard chartered made me feel super: angsty irritated tired angry sad happy cold warm sleepy lazy.....

but it was a good experience cos i saw the kenya guy!!!!!! HAHAHAH

okay time to go sleep but i feel hungry :(
