First Run - Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009
Hi all! Phew! It has been really a while since I have updated my blog. Gosh, my mum has been very buzy to help me to update the blog. Many things have happened and I wish I could write everything in this post but i guess it would be too much to ask from my mum.
Nevertheless, the objective of this blog of mine is to share with you about the happy things I did with my family and friends. Last Sunday, my family participated in our first family run -THE STANDARD CHARTERED SINGAPORE MARATHON 2009.
Don't get me wrong.we did not run the 42.1km route. Mum and Dad ran only 10km. Me? I ran 10km plus 750m kids dash. Really. Dad pushed the pram throughout the route with me. So it made sense that I covered 10750m, right? So I did actually cover longer distance than my parents! Haha, in fact, I even sleep inside the pram as the weather was so cooling and windy. Who wouldnt sleep right? At the last 100 m from the finishing line, Dad actually sprinted like a speeding car and I didnt realise it? That showed how exhausting I was sitting in the pram for 2 hrs!

the sign
both of us won medals!
haha!if you wanna know what happened to my left eye,here's the story. I went to Fort Canning last Sat for a relative's wedding and I had a little bump on my left side of my forehead. Mum thought it was just a mosquito bite. I guess my skin is sensitive and I may be allergic to this insect's bite and the swollen became even bigger! i cant even open my eye when I smile. But, nah, dont worry, mum and dad brought me to the clinic and should be okay within few days. the bite is nothing as compared to the great winning moment when I had my 750m run!Thanks papa for giving me such great encouragement. and also to all the supporters along the route. I felt famous when all of you cheered for me and took my pics!
p/s: in order to earn and win something, I have to work hard for it. indeed. running 750m is not easy but i made it to the finishing line and yup, i won my first medal. my first hard earn medal. well-done tata!
