DAY 1

Today is Wednesday and will be busies day for me. At 0830am I and Endon will be running approx 5km around Yishun Central and after the run at 0940am we will be meeting with Bro Azil at the car park of Blk 603 Yishun Central St 61 where he will be fetching me to Yishun Stadium for MediaCorp interview and also will be meeting with Su Shan Tan from NorthEast CDC to collect the cheque. While waiting for Adam One Arm Runner to arrived, I had my photo shooting first. We were interview by Gene Khor, writer for MediaCorp Pte Ltd and this is for the Spring Magazine on “Special Talent Fund” After the interview I will be heading to Kaki Bukit Crescent where I will be meeting with Nelia from OUTDOOR Venture to collect the sponsorship gear and GU nutrition and also will be meeting with Mr Walter Tan to discuss on the going running mission.

At 2.30pm I will be rushing to Geylang and meet up with Seet Yin Shan, Seet Marit and Edmund Seah from LYNK Biotechnologies where I will be collecting some sponsorship items such as “JUMP START” Instant Energy Cream and “TGC” Transdermal Glucosamine Cream for joint and cartilage. This product really works on me and I have already sent my testimonial on the product to the company. Time moving fast and it is 4pm and now I am rushing to Running Lab Velocity@Novena to purchase the running bib holder and hand glove as I heard from friends Beijing must be 9 degree Celsius. I had my hair cut there too.

Finally reach home and pack all my belonging and at about 7.30pm I and my daughter, Nur’ Atiqah and Nur’ Athirah will be accompany me to Changi Airport Terminal 3 where later I will be meeting with the rest of my family there as they are sending me. Before I went to check in we decided to have dinner together. My wife bought for me all kinds of food such as bread, dates, energy biscuit and many more. She told me not to eat unnecessary food there and even bought for me sock, wet tissues and hand lotion for gems protection.

It’s 1030pm and I have checked in the baggage at SIA counter 3. All done and we are heading to the Departure Hall where my family says good bye to me. In the restricted area, while waiting to check in at 0110am. I had a cup of black coffee and update the emails there. It is 12 midnight and I am heading to the boarding gate at A1. This is my first time to board on SQ flight and also the first time to go far away from home for marathon. I got my seat at 51c and cool there are no one else sitting there. I was serving by the beautiful SIA Stewardess. The journey starts now. I will be uploading more photos soon and do check it out.
