Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2007

I still don't feel so much of a blogger these days. Even this site's URL, let alone its MT page, has disappeared from my browser's history, long unopened. But something like this I don't let pass by without informing the whole world.

The event was still fun, albeit being sans the colorful costumes it usually has. I did overtake a runaway bride -- she wore a wedding dress and held a bouquet of whatever, what else should I have assumed? -- and high-five Spider-Man, but that was all there was to it.

Much, much more people participated this year and many times I had to pull off my best Jakartan Driver maneuver to squeeze through the traffic. A God-thanking time -- haven't done that in a while, have I -- for our magical city. Seriously, man, I think we need wider roads or more petite runners.

I tasked myself with bettering last year's 2h:23m:31s. If my watch didn't lie, I achieved that. But let's wait for the official results before we get too excited, shall we? Because... uh, BRB, phone...

Guess what, that was a musician friend, reminding me that we have a rehearsal today. Today. Of all days *sighs. I'm starting to think I've bitten more than I could strum. Well, at least one's down. See how the other two go.

All right, for a guy wanting to have less to do with blogs, I sure write a lot. Enjoy more photos here. I did wonder, you know, if I was the one running, how did those two get into more pictures? Kids these days *shakes head*.

Friggin' A! For the second year running -- pardon the pun -- I don't have my photo taken. So much for the all-Adidas outfit.
