You’re blowing bubbles till the taste is gone

14 Feb

School was a happy occasion cause we got chocolates, sweets and notes from friends

Then we had an optional GP lesson with the adorable Mrs Lee, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh she's super adorable :')

We made her take a picture with us by giving her an excuse that it was Valentine's day hehehehe







Then there was traininggggg

After that, went to have dinner with my two v'day dates Weili and Kengling.

We ate and talked for super long and before we knew it, it was already 10 plus.


Starhub rocks ;)

15 Feb

Signed up for a 10K race with my sis, aunt and aunt's friend. Before that, I was really nervous and shit, because I didn't train consistently and the max I've ever gone was 5K.

The event was extremely packed man, and honestly, it was super disorganised. There were 2 entrances leading to the Start Line so there was this massive bottleneck man. When the start gun was shot, we had to wait for the crowd to move before we reached the starting line at 3 mins gun time oh goodness man.

But luckily there was a timing chip in the bibs so a more accurate timing could be clocked.

AND THAT'S NOT ALL. It was held at the Marina area but the roads were damn narrow, most of them were ordinary pavements. Other races like Standard Chartered and Shape blocked off entire roads(as in those where cars drive on) while this only had pedestrian roads so it was really crowded. Our arms were constantly brushing against other fellow runners.

But I guess one really good plus point of the race was the scenic view of the route. We ran past the iconic Marina skyline, the Marina Barrage, Gardens By The Bay and on bridges.

Anyway nothing could beat the satisfaction of completing it :)

I kept having evil thoughts of stopping but I kept praying man, like "Dear God, please don't allow me to stop" etc. And luckily I had a great playlist that distracted me from giving in to stopping. AND TIGER BALM. Before leaving the house, I rubbed the cream all over my legs. It really helped to reduce muscle aches after the run.



After passing the Finish Line, I just rapidly gulped down a cup of the best drink ever - water before wolfing down on the banana that they handed out.




Look, that's us on some stranger's Instagram picture HAHA.





Maybe one day I'll be crazy enough to do a half marathon.
