Finally, the first marathon in my life had come...My brother-in-law, sister and I took the bus to the start point at Esplanade...After meeting my sister's friend, we put our baggage at the baggage deposit place to put our baggage. Then, we went to the toilet before the race started. The queues for the toilets were very long. That's my first time to see so many people queuing up for the toilets. Haha...

The race was flaged off at around 0530h. All the participants were ready on the bridge...It's so spectacular... I was listening to my MP3 while running. After 10 km, don't why, there's a blister at my foot. I ran with care to prevent the blister become worsened. When I was at East Coast Park, I stopped and saw aeroplanes descending...I stood there for few minutes. After 21 km, I felt pain at my left knee. I injured my knee when I was doing sport before, thus I had no choice but walked throughout the rest of the marathon. The funniest thing is, I felt asleep at a pavillion at East Coast Park...LOL...I slept arounf 15 minutes until one of the runners woke me up...

When I was at Kallang Stadium, I saw a fruit station over there. Another distraction coming. I stopped there for almost 10 minutes to enjoy bananas...I really like bananas...Haha...I eat 10 bananas in this marathon...Was I a monkey in my pastlife? I wonder...

I was so exhausted but I still have to finish it (this is what we call as 'sportmanship' LOL). I stopped at a car roadshow..There's many branded cars exhibited. 10 Ferraris were exhibited outside the venue and of course, I stopped there to take a look of them...

Eventually, I spent 7 hours 29 minutes 16 seconds. Haha ^^V...

I participated in this marathon is to test my determination. If I can finish this marathon successfully, I can prove myself that I have strong determination in order to change or challenge something. Haha...Well, of course, I am changing... After this marathon, I really realised that I am a guy who is easily distracted by other things or people. That's my weakness and have to change it...haha...

I got some pictures from the organiser while I crossing the finish line...Quite cool...Haha...

i will always miss you*
