It was a hot day(just heard this afternoon hit 34.6). Lots
of folks turn up for the event. In fact much more than last year,
exactly how much have to wait for the official counts.
like last year, it is jam packed at the front, cant even move.
I was at the starting point 12mins before the start and
couldnt get a position anywhere and have to walk towards the back.
Fortunately saw my colleagues wait by the side of the barricade
about 20 metres from the starting point and refuse to walk back, my
feel is what the heck, i am not going to move to the back and take
a chance from here. 
Despite the raod marshall shouting at us to move
to the back as we cannot start from here. 
Exactly 6pm the run start, and OMG the folks(runner) near the
barriade start to push it aside and jump in....mai tuo leow, me
also follow the folks to squeeze in. 
It took a short while and i have hit the starting point.
the pace was slow at the beginning, at least most are jogging at
the very least, i do have some blockage here and there and it
becomes a good oppotunity to take a breather when it happens.
....quickly i overtook some of my slower colleagues
in front...my thoughts are how come there are running in front of
me? Is it there are lined up in front of me? I do remember they are
standing around me before the race.
Quickly the first water point came up...i couldnt even see where is
the water point last year, only realised that it later when i see
lots of empty bottles litter on the floor. Anyway, it is 5.6km,
there is not a need for any water. 
At 3km mark, take a look at the watch...15mins+....hmmm...is it
fast or slow 
what the heck, i feel i am running fine....at leat is
panting...should be okay. 
At this
point, can sense that everyone have step up the gear....wow...not
to lose out. i press on the acceleration and follow suit. Saw a few NTU chiobus running in front..... my kind of ladies.... 
let follows them.... Wow piah...what happens, they seem to be running
further away from me.
cannot be leh....
Ending is drawing near after the 5km mark...and i think it is time
to make my move. ...how come those around me is not making a move
yet...have they tired out ? ...no problem, step on another gear and off i
go.... i
overtake NTU chiobus as expected.
After turning into the ending stretch...i have start to
sprinting...wah..hoo...how come everyone like crawling beside me
when i sprint past them....
....One ang moh uncle noticing the challenge, decide to sprint with
me, but he is no match for me....
what is the time on the offical clock...is it 26 mins....nope...it
is 28mins on the clock on the finishing line. 
wtf, this cannot be true...after crossing the finishing line take a
look at my watch....28mins 7 sec.
this cannot be true...what happen?
i couldnt believe it. something is wrong.
Ahhhh........
