Great eastern

Today was the Great eastern run!
Super fun, I tell you. The media was there and they were taking videos and photos like mad.
We got free ice-cream & sportade, and we 'dominated' the place, since we had about 600 people participating; winning the school challenge!
Our tent was really funny, it was decorated with loads of yellow and green balloons! It was cool.
Oh, and we had to tie yellow & green ribbons on our hair too!

(Psst. I think we'll be in the newspapers, coz this photographer asked to take a big group photo carrying the sparkling glass trophy, and he asked 2 sc girls to run towards the camera, in front of us, holding the trophy.)
Cool eh?
It was supposed to look as if the trophy was flying (?!)
5 km was actually very little, compared to that day's training. I think it's nothing! Cos I almost died that day. Ha. Whereas for today's run time passed really quickly.
Whooh, I loved today. I got to skip tuition! Alright, I'll sign off here; photos from Aisha's mum, uhm, another day hahhah.

OHMYGOSH! YOU!

No wonder, so that's your motive.
Oh my goodness that's so "out-of-the-boundaries"!
So unexpected and disappointing.
Sigh.

Out.

The accessories selling in Cityhall's accessory shop are cool and pretty! Like these.I think we were in Aldo. Andrea, Alyssa, Shuli, Myself. Shuli has the nicer photos.
Hats! We were in. (Oops i forgot the name. But it has "island" in it, hahah) (Shuli has the nicer photo too.)

The soup place at Raffles City! (She has the nicer photos here again!)

This is Andrea's and my Clam Chowder in a bread bowl. It's soo good.

And the lights are cool too ;D

Ha, I'll get the other photos after Shuli sends Alyssa, who would then send me. Anyway, we met Charlotte and Jien Nee in Cityhall! Haha.
And, what's with the world's obsession with skinny jeans? I know it's a trend now, but personally, I feel that skinny jeans that come in bright green, brightlight blue, red, yellow etc, are horrible. (Plain ol' denim is alright, but in gaudy colours?)
Penninsular plaza (?! i think it's plaza) is so full of those awful gaudy skinny jeans and it was sold in shops at every corner whenever we saw more of those, we said,"Er haha again." or "Oh yuck."
But, no offence to those who love wearing skinny jeans though :/

Oh no! Dang, I just found out that the sec2s running for Great Eastern have to wear the standard red adidas shirt that the whole S'pore's wearing, and not our customized yellow SCGS one! Know why? Coz we're supposed to be featured in the dont-know-where-olympics-thingy, and the teachers chose sec2s.
I heard they're gonna video us so we have to stand in the front.
But I want to wear the yellow one. Firstly, the red one is TOO BIG for me. It really is. The armhole is huge.
Secondly, we'll stand out in yellow among the sea of red. Aiyuh.

Fall asleep at this longlonglong post.

Still haven't handed in the option form yet. Jacklyn and I can't decide whether to put triple science or PhysicsChem for first option. Oh, and we checked with Mr Lau (Mrs Cha wasn't free to entertain us) to find out the level average for science and we're higher! Yay! So we probably can get the combination we want, only we don't know if we can cope with triple. Haha but Jacklyn worked out some thoeries on how the teachers would think so maybe we kinda sorted it out.
This is a rather long post on our adventure today:
Sylvs and I got lost. We were supposed to be training for Great Eastern Run (the 5km one, not the 10km, woah.). This was our route, led by Mrs Lee (Her little son is so cute! But he's very shy ;D): Running from school, past Raffles Town Club, into the small small lanes where everywhere is practically concrete. Like through Merryn Drive and Trevose Place where there's all the huge expensive houses. We came out from Kheam Hock Road and crossed the road, continuing on to the lane just before Serene Centre.

Yeah we had to run to the Botanical Gardens and supposed to use the back gate.

You know what? We didn't stop! That's like amazing or what. Hmmm around 3.6km? Ha we aren't the naturally sport-sy kinda people, so not bad for a choir member eh?
But only then when we had to run uphill, and when the surroundings were all trees and forests and the tarzen-like terrain, THEN we started running slowly and let the other people who hadn't given up yet, run past us.

And then we started walking.
And we lost them.
And that place was creepy coz there were only one or two cars that went past every ten minutes, and everywhere was just the green.
AND then, we met a cross-junction, so we just stopped; we couldn't even see the other people!
Luckily, a police car with 4 policemen inside came by at that moment, and we "flagged" with our hands to ask for directions, and they were very helpful. Haha.

And we walked. And we jogged. And we walked. And we jogged, when finally we reached the back gate of Botanical Gardens. We were so happy we cheered. Unbelievable ;F

But guess what. We got lost in Botanical Gardens and decided to take one of the free "take me!" maps. How pathetic and loser is that?! HAHA, supposed to be training for a marathon but got lost in Botanical Gardens, carrying a map! Woah. Anyway we just walked around and around being silly like asking every single person we meet if they'd "seen a group of students wearing the same uniform as us, running by."
Oh but we had no means of transport (not counting walking/running), no means of communication (we couldn't bring handphones), no forms of money or food or water.
Well we lived. Trusted our instincts frantically! And found the front gate.
But. We got lost again when we exited by the front gate. The roads at the cross-junction were Nassim Road, Cluny Road and Dalvey Road. Dalvey leads out to the road near school but that part of Dalvey was the deepest part. No more walking far for us anymore.
So we decided to cross the road and walk towards the place that looked right. And it was, it lead to Evans Road and we walked all the way back to school from there, to find the teachers standing there, waiting for us.

Haha, they said they were about to drive out and find us! Oh my.
I think we did 10km instead of 5km! Only cheated.
But it was fun all the same. I bet we'll never get to do that again. ;D
