Army Half Marathon
The alarm clock rang at 3.15am. I managed to pull myself out of bed and brushed my teeth. Thank to my bb who have woke up so early to make me a cup of hot milo. After which, I left home and proceed to city hall. I have jio my friends to parked our vehicles at some public car park at bugis cos the town car park are expected to be congested. I am the earliest. The rest of them reach about 20 min later.
We have a short walk to the start point at the Padang. The traffic was so terrible. It was like Saturday night where people go shopping. The start point is flooded with human. Our 21km non competitive run start at 5.30am. I kicked off pretty fine. After some undulating slope and bends (about 10km), I can feel abit of strain on my leg. I am looking forward to every water point. The water and isotonic drink is the only thing that keep me going. After about 18km, I was on fatigue. My pace started to slow down and I could feel the stress on my ankle. However, I told myself I must complete the run. I keep on pushing myself to the end point. The last 500m seem never ending.
I completed the run in about 2h 30 min. This is the furthest distance I even run. Maybe I should try a Marathon. Haha.
Preparation for our ROM
So far, bb and I have settle as much stuff as possible for our ROM. We have got our wedding gown which is tied in by Di Gro. Next, we went to hunt for our wedding bands. We got a pair at Lee Hwa Jewellery. Quite good deal. Bb got hers with diamond whereas for me, I have got something simple.
I think if anyone of you is getting married, you have to start saving. Cos there willbe lot of stuffs to consider such as bridal package, jewellery, wedding dinner and house cum renovation.
I heard from my friends that we need reserve otel for wedding dinner like one or two years ahead. So headache man. Meanwhile, I think both of us will be looking for our home in the west area. So do keep us inform if there is any new HDB flats release in jurong west, bukit batok or bukit panjang area.

he-bbI am very busy for the past one week. I joined in the reservist for some course in the Air Force. Pretty slack. Attend lessons, lectures and many canteen breaks. So it like a break from my usual work in camp. Yesterday, I went to Pulau Pawaii to observe how F-16 fly. Indeed, it's an eye-opener.
This morning, I went to east coast park to train for my Army Half Marathon. I haven been training. Cos all the while, I am on course. All the guy are training 18km. So I just have to joined in. The run is damn siong. I am looking forward to each water point ahead. I managed to complete the run in 2 hr 20 min. I think that is the longest distance I even ran.
Bb and I deicided to took up a wedding package as she have mentioned above. We have been searching high and low. And finally we have decide on one that give the best deal. At least, we have tried to squeeze the bridal company dry and make every cents worth. So, we are looking forward to out ROM. Probably in Decemeber. So excited.
