AHM 2008

I survived a hat-trick of AHM! On all 3 occasions, I was forced to run. This 3rd AHM, which happened today, proved to be the most shagged one for me yet. In fact, I deproved a whole 50 minutes from last year! I couldn't even attain the stipulated timing of 2 hours 45 minutes...I came in 8 minutes late lol. At the 14km mark, my thighs started to get heavy, cramps started coming in, my ankle hurt and I could feel the pain of a blister on my right leg's 4th toe. The mud on the Padang got my shoes all soggy and muddy, and it caused some problems too. In fact I've thrown them away. Lots of excuse I know, I still can't believe how much slower I am this year. I'm so glad I didn't sign up for Stand Chart this year, I will probably die there. I've always thought that the AHM is one of the better organised mass runs in Singapore, and they didn't disappoint this year as well. The water points were entertaining and motivating, and there were lots of babes in the run as well. Although I didn't do well this year, I'll probably continue taking part, even after ORD.

Went out for lunch yesterday with Sis, Annabel and Terence. Sis wanted to try Globetrotters at United Square, and that's where we went. The restaurant had a playroom, specially made kids' tables and chairs, and a menu catered to their small appetite and taste. Its literally a kids' heaven.

I then met up with Puss and Wayniest for dinner at Dim Sum just down Serangoon Road. As usual, Puss overordered and all of us ended up super bloated after the meal. Here's some of the food we ordered.

Thats how much food we ordered..all for 3 people to finish.

After dinner, we went to watch the new thai horror movie 4Bia. Its a movie of 4 short stories, therefore the title. The first story is about a lonely girl who sent out a random sms and got a reply from a lonely "soul". The second one is about teenagers playing with black magic. The third one is about 4 buddies' ghostly encounter while camping in the jungle. And the last story is about an air stewardess who has been assigned to escort a corpse alone on a plane. Sounds interestingly scary isn't it? Go watch it if you like the thrill of being scared, like me lol.

Its the end of the Beijing Olympics 2008 today. How time flies. And for the first time in my life, I actually felt the excitment and the big deal about an olympics. Its kinda sad that its ending already. But not to worry. The EPL is here to replace it!
