Public Service Sports Carnival 2006~

Hey hey.. it's another event of the year.. and well it's the last event of this year though for competition.. And yes IRAS is going to compete against the Mighty Gukarks (sp).. this time on the track.. and so the competition brings us to the Bishan Stadium where we have our competition..

So started the day, waking up early.. walked to Novena MRT station to take a train up there.. There, I managed to grab a Today.. but as soon as I walked into the train, I realised something was missing.. My shoe bag was LEFT on the chair outside!! Argh~~ quickly ran out of the train and grab my bag.. Thank God no one took it.. or worse still regard it as a BOMB.. haha.. yeah so then I made my way down to the stadium..

Over there, I met up with my team and we had some preparations before we went for the 4 x 100 metres heats relay.. Nothing much to say but we came in 6th with a time of 50.24 sec.. which I thought gave us a fighting chance to claim 4th as it was 49.77 sec.. so practice and rest hard.. meanwhile my right thigh is aching.. so got to bare with the pain..

Well, what happened next is that IRAS won the Parlaf 8 x 50 metres -- Champions, Men's Senior 4 x 100 metres -- 3rd runners-up.. after which we walked over to Junction 8 to have our lunch.. it was free.. or a nicer way of saying.. it's subsidized.. haha~~

Then we made our way back to the stadium to play the telematch.. haha.. I thought we did quite fairly well.. but our standings are too low.. so there goes a prize $$.. haha..

But what is important is the next 2 final events.. the Men's & Women's final 4 x 100 metres.. Our dear ladies, did us proud by achieving 2nd runner-up.. whereas ours.. despite fielding 2 teams.. we ended as 5th & 7th with a timing of 50.1 and 50.4 secs respectively.. it was a pity.. Daniel made a slip due to the wet weather.. I not being able to do my best despite both my thighs are aching very badly after the sprint.. still be thankful to God because I thought it was a good achievement considering that we did not train much as a team..

And so after a long long hot and wety day.. we went to Junction 8's Ajisan to have dinner.. Dinner's on Jocelyn.. Thanks!! haha it was sure a good meal there, with Alan, Kong, Wai San, Wei Ling and Sing Yuan.. I tried the beef ramen.. and a good varitey of side dishes.. hehe.. It was then I realised that I am not the youngest after all!! haha.. so happy for that moment.. heh.. And thanks Alan for the ice-creams treat at Haggen Diaz (sp).. haha.. It was a day full of fun and excitement despite the tiry and weary legs of mine.. hehe..

So totally in short, Thank God for everything.. Although this time I did not win any.. But it was a moment of priceless memories that I left Bishan with in the year 2006.. I fell in love with Bishan~~ haha

A retreat~

Hey hey.. before everything goes busy and knock out.. time for a wonderful break in between again.. 10 Nov.. Acutally I was supposed to go to the Zoo.. I was so so looking forward for the past 3 weeks since we mentioned about it.. it's like childhood deprived.. but sad to say.. due to some unforseen circumstances.. I did not go there today.. =( sad.. but it's ok.. another time..

And now for the bright side, I went to have lunch with Jasmine at my most favourite outlet in Sinagpore.. BLANCO COURT FISH SLICE BEE HOON!!! Argh!! So wonderful.. i think that the best word that I can describe at this very moment.. haha.. I waited for so many good years, either timing bad.. or shop closes.. just miss it.. but Today.. I am on leave so it became possible.. And I must say I love it.. fortunately for us, the queue was short.. waited for say 12mins only!? normally I would wait about 20-30mins for it ok? but because I long time never eat it, I didn't realise that the price went up from $3 to $4.. still i think it's worth the while.. haha.. great.. I hope you enjoyed it too, jasmine.. (with that cozy weather outside)

After that, we hopped onto a bus that brought us to Vivo City!! To watch supposing a horror movie!? Is it just me or what, but everytime I am suppose to watch a horror movie, it began either more funny or brain thinking.. or is just there isn't anymore good horror shows around.. haha.. We also boarded an old ship (forgot name liao) and visit the book, cds and music sales on board.. Everything on board is sold in units.. 100 units = 4 dollars.. (make a guess which country's conversion is the closest?) haha.. quite fun..

So we went to around walking, shopping and time just flies happily.. I shall just mention a few places in case my memories faded.. Giant and The Foodcourt.. so sad ok.. I gave people the wrong direction.. haha so not isaac.. what the pok.. hope she does not mind.. For dinner, we found ourselves dining at Seah Street's hawker centre whereby I ate a "Upper Class" italian stall which I find serve one of the best pasta in Singapore.. all within the $4-$6 budget.. Good deal right?

After dinner, we had a slow walked down the road towards City hall in a semi-wet weather.. I really enjoy it, you know :D .. before we parted our ways and I head for SMU for a meeting..

I truly thank God for making this day possible.. it was short but it's worth the waiting.. I hope this memory keeps within me for the many days ahead.. as I think back on the wonderful days of Year 2006..

Interestingly, many things happen as I re-read my blog again.. All the Ups and Downs.. Still no matter what happens, learn to give thanks to God for good times, for bad times.. He will always be by my side no matter what happens.. Think of His favor, and taste and you will know His goodness, He has prepare for you and those who wait on Him..
