OKAY, we're now in week TWO of the new semester! It's pretty interesting 'cos all the project meetings and assignments are pouring in and everyone is looking flustered. It's a good thing! All that lounging around at home during the hols have turned us into pale vampires. There's nothing like an adrenaline rush from school work to give you a healthy glow. Haha.
So last Saturday, I decided I needed even more 'glow' (stop laughing germaine) and headed for the Singapore Flyer to participate in the Nike+Human Race 10k. The race ran simultaneously in 24 different countries worldwide so it seemed like a lot of fun. Race day got off on a great start (at 7am) with everyone decked out in the 'uniform' of red nike top and smile.
Now, it was my first time running 10 kilometres and I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to pull it off. Surprisingly, many fellow runners (strangers!) egged me on and I actually completed the race! I think it also helped that I was running with four friends so it really wasn't a case of how fast I ran but how much fun I had running (and bonding) with them. And of course, there were the freebies, a Nike top and water bottle. Were you there? I'm sure I'll be signing up for next year's race! (:
You know, this is really turning out to be a crazy week of firsts. It will also be my first time 'celebrating' Halloween (this Saturday) and boy, am i excited. I've always thought it would be so fun to attend Halloween-themed parties or go trick-or-treating (a Halloween custom where kids dress up and visit their neighbours' houses asking for candy treats and threatening to play tricks on those who refuse).
I've decided that I'm gonna celebrate Halloween by going to the Singapore Night Safari! If you've got nothing planned, you might just want to grab some friends and visit for a screaming good time. :) They've been running this every weekend of October and this is the last! Here are some pics of what you can look forward to (or look out for):
A hungry Ronald Mcdonald and Edward aluminum-foil-hands!
I don't know what on earth this is supposed to be, but it scares the hell out of me so I guess it works!
The bridge of terror! I hear it's a real highlight at the safari!
Yucks, yucks, yucks!
OKAY, NOW AFTER PUTTING UP ALL THESE PICTURES, I REALLY CANT WAIT!!!! :D i'm going this friday at 7pm, so hope to catch you there! (:
Ngee Ann Poly is also celebrating Halloween this friday at Makan Place (for those of you who don't know, this is the biggest poly campus eatery in Singapore!) Look out for ghosts and other scary beings roaming the stalls at 12 noon. If you dare approach them, you just might get candy! :p
Guess who's the scary poster boy? :P
