    adidas King of the Road (KOTR) is a championship run event held in five countries in Southeast East and Singapore is among the five.  The total distance is 16.8km for this morning run which will be flagged off at Gardens By The Bay.  Admittedly after the last Sundown Marathon, I was not keen to run but Winnie managed to convince me to participate as she was hoping to use this event to prepare for her year end 21km Stanchart Half Marathon.  She has not been doing any form of serious run in preparation for it and the leg injury from a recent fall put paid to her on-off training schedule.  Owing to all these factors, she decided to opt out at the last moment - what a pity!  Stanchart event is inching close and I am not sure whether she will be ready by then.  "Can't run, walk lah...don't have to give yourself too much pressure lah, Winnie".  I really hope she just go for...

I am not a perfect being, I have many flaws but when it comes to 'play act', I will fare badly.  As an imperfect being I am and who am I to comment on somebody's flaw, really?  But I can't help posting my thought on my blog as it has been bothering me for quite a while.  Tell you all already, I am not perfect lor.      I know this person for good many years but I will not name her (opp, she is a lady...well, what the heck) - for obvious reasons.  To get my story going, let me give her an initial instead.  Okay, I will call her AS (not ASS but AS, the initial).  Why I say AS is a great pretender?  This is the story...  By the way, we were friends once but not anymore for quite few years.  Admittedly, in my 50 years in life, I have not met anyone who will (without shame) announce to the world that he or she has worked his or her butt out whe...

  It was another HTTB event, titled "Hike and Historical Trip Day Trip (Sunrise at Broga Hill + Malacca) organised by Hiker Lillian and SP, the elder of the group.  The response was so hot that the initial 12 slots were taken up within minutes when it went 'LIVE' on HTTB meetup site and finally, it was increased to 26.  Either Lillian is hot or the trip to Broga Hill is hot, or maybe both are equally hot.  Dora was the one who prompted me about this trip and thanks to her, she did all the follow up for me.  She worked fast (her fingers worked even faster) and she managed to confirm one slot for me without me breaking a sweat - what a lucky fella I am (sweat)! For S$60 per person, which included coach transfer and a decent peranakan lunch in Malacca (the climb is free though), it is definitely worth everthing I must say.  This was also my first trip organised by Hiker Lillian and I was looking forw...
