Double Celebration Run

on Wednesday, January 09, 2008

Yesterday at CBD was the most happening run I’ve ever had. It was given a theme called the “Double Celebration Run”. What celebration?

Two couples at CBD are going to venture into the “not available” category in Jan and here we are, a bunch of runners with crazy ideas come together as a tradition in Sgrunners to hold a wedding run.

Orange Tee aka WC join in the fun today after months of absence. 15min b4 run starts at 7pm, some volunteers are already here, helping the bride and groom to dress up like this…………


IMD & Yee Hua, Shut & wifey not ard

We insisted that some of the brothers should also be wearing the same hats. The best is yet to come. Not only wearing the hat, the tie, and the “Just Married” tag, both IMD & Shut (the 2 groom) have a few empty cans tied in a long string around their waste. That is tekaning and good enough to attract a lot of attention from the public. As soon as they run, pulling those cans on their back….haha…. so fun…you know what’s going to happen...


Tigger gathered everyone to brief the route that we are running, from tanjong pagar white house to Esplanade and back. I thought that was the usual route that we always run but man…..I’m wrong!!!!!!!!
There was a lot of detour between TP and Esplanade. Instead of the S’pore Symphony orchestra side, we ran along where DBS building is. It was 7+, a lot of Shenton Way workers around. People must be wondering what’s up with this bunch of runners and where are those noises coming from. We detour to Lau Pa Sat as I started to observe how the curious drivers and pedestrian and tourists reacted.


I chatted with Yankee, Chengnai and WC along the way and we are wondering if we'll make it in the news tomorrow or anyone caught us on camera and upload to Stomp..hahaha


My jaw almost dropped when the I saw the front runners (happen to be one of the planner for the day) entering Raffles Place MRT!!!!!!!! Wah…The orrganizer very evil leh…….but I like. As long as I'm not the victim. Hahaha….You could have imagine that Raffles MRT underground is so crowded at that time. Having those cans drag up and down the staircase and echos from it…hahaha…… we got lots of attention from the public. That’s not the end of it. We ‘camp’ right in the middle of the underground and have IMD & Shut to recite a love poem to their wifey LOUD LOUD!!



Running along Shenton Way, right in front of office building


So crowded in Raffles underpass, cannot run



Curious passers by at Raffles Link while IMD is reciting his love poem



Took another group pics again before we start another more tekaning session at Esplanade. It took quite a while for IMD to start off his incomplete "Yue Liang tai piao wo de xin", followed by Shut.


After Esplanade, it's back to TP again for more laughter and chit-chatting. Food is good, company is great. And with lots of laughter and bonding, we end with a crazy post again before we start to feast.
