5.6km JPMorgan Corporate Challenge

The heavy rain in the afternoon dampen my mood to go for the corporate challenge as it will dirty my New Nike shoes. Didnt really wear it ever since i bot last year and now i have to wear and step on those muddy puddle. So Xin Tong =)

We didnt manage to catch the chartered bus there all bcos of her.... So angry, she is simply unreasonable and has serious attitude problem. From this incident, I have learnt to be less nasty to those service providers going forward. Those who have read this, please remind me from time to time ok?

Back to the run, I didnt expect many ppl to turn up given such bad weather conditions. As usual, you will see alot of different companies especially financial institutions participating in this event. We missed the start "On your mark, get set, Go!" by the time we reached there... By the way, when i was young, i tot that it sounded like "Alamak, get set, Go!" Was real puzzled at that pt of time as i dont understand why they have to say something like that before the competition starts. Haha Me and my funny english interpretation again.

The 5.6km route started off from Esplanade Drive to Ritz Carlton and all the way down to Concourse area before we make a Uturn and back to Padang. On the whole i only ran the first km then walked throughout the remaining journey and this took me an hour. Those gurkas were like Walt Disney road runner, they only took abt 17 mins to complete the race and i catched a glimpse of them near Ritz - they are making their way back to the finishing line while i am only abt 1 km away from the starting point.

Walking can be tiring as well so i decided to take out my phone and take some photos on the distance indicator and Singapore Flyer. From what i heard, it will be ready by end 2007 and the bookings are already full for the first six mths of operation.

Here's a picture to show how muddy it is at Padang and my shoes actually sink it when i stand on the same spot for too long.
After queuing extremely long for the post run goodie bag, i met up with Di for a short while before going back to the tent to enjoy the food and drinks. Had real fun there as a new colleague from another dept is trying to get us understand her Hokkien when she cannot speak well in this language. We tot she is scolding vulgarities initially when in actual fact, she is just saying that her dad stays on the eighth floor. This makes the joke of the day.
After those happy hours, we head back to office at about 8 plus to finish off some work. Salted vegetable life....
