Today, we participated at the annual Standard Chartered Bank marathon. Of course, we ran the 10km, not the full marathon. Sylvia, my hubby, cousins - Jacelyn and Terence and I went. It was our first time participating. The guys ran first at 7.30am, while ladies ran at 8.15am. Collection of the goodie bag prior to the event was a nightmare. Sylvia and I took half day leave and went to Singapore expo and queued for an hour before we got it. Total participants who took part were 50,000!! WOW!

The guys completed the race about an hour or so. The girls took longer - almost 2 hours. I did not expect that I can run non-stop for 4 hours. At the ECP, I stopped as the sun was too glaring. I walked till suntec's first drinking stop and ran again after drinking 100 plus. I stopped again at the F1 area... then I started running again at the Surpreme Court and dashed to the finishing line. Now my knees are in pain. Tomorrow, my muscles will ache... My cousins will be taking part in the 21km next year. I shall stick to 10km. hahaa. I am so glad that it is a public holiday on monday. Poor hubby, he has to work.
With groom - Guangjin, whom I knew for 18 years....(still counting)

Raymond, Annabelle, Me, Yibiao, Kehua, Yanni, Jianfeng and his family. 
We bought our second fountain of wealth at Farm mart - Lim Chu Kang Road. Our first one is spoilt for a long time. We decided to buy today. Been to a lot of places but the shop at Farm mart did not disappoint us. We are very pleased with this simple design and on top of that, we also bought 2 plants whose leaves are in the shape of a copper coin. Now we are just waiting for it to flourish and bring us some wealth during this recession.
This is my 2008 Christmas tree decorations. It is also my first time to give out 60 presents to my colleagues! I break my own record. I have also received some presents already. But I do not want to open them till at 25 Dec midnight. I carried some back from the office but there are still some more on my table. My house was very messy with the presents and wrappers. It was also challenging to bring the presents to office over 4 days. I do hope all my receivers are happy to receive a little token from me. Till then.
