20 June 2010: 2 precious photos from the mobile phone of Koh Peng Hong plus Yoke Weng's usual write-up

(Click on most of the photos on this Blog and it will be enlarged)

It wasn’t a big turnout last Sunday (20 June 2010) at Dempsey. There were 12 people and at last, we see the return of Lau Goh and Lai Yoke.

Not much to write about as we went the usual way round the WKS route. There were even fewer for breakfast as many had different appointments. Only 6 went for breakfast at Mei Lin St. We are not regulars at Mei Lin St.  As such, we went to order coffee from 3 different stalls. The conclusion is that they are all awful as they probably come from the same coffee supplier !! Nevertheless, we enjoy the spaciousness as it was not crowded at one end of the food center. Good alternative to Ah Seng for variety.

This Sunday, we return to Dear Leader’s place at Garlick Av for the run. To Rifle Range Rd and back. Perhaps, have a look at the plot of railway land that we will return to Malaysia . Following the run, I am not sure if there is a  celebration for his ascension to the CEO position. But knowing ABC runners, they will still eat, the reasons for celebrating being incidental.

See you this Sunday (27 June 2010), 6.30 am at Garlick Av.

13 June Run: No photo but a write up from our ABC Scribe Yoke Weng

First , congrats to Dear Leader as he takes over as CEO of NCS. But in typical ABC style, I just have to ask – “ What takes you so long, soldier?? “ . Ha, ha… time for a treat , maybe.

Last Sunday (13 June 2010) run was relatively uneventful. As usual, we started late around 6.50 am. Some blamed it on World Cup but I know that nobody in the group  would be watching the 2.30 am games. ( The one that watched the game did not turn up …. ) .  Then, we are off to the Bedok jetty. Along the way,  we saw Ldr B around the hawker center area. So, should we mark him as “present” or not. Anyway, he did not join as for breakfast. We also saw Seng Cheong on his bike.

After the run, we have the watermelon feast. Courtesy of who else ? – Rajan of course. This time, I have to ask him whether it is a whole water melon or half or three quarters. This is to prevent the hallucinations. For info, it is three quarters. (The remaining one quarter is in Rajan’s fridge !!! ).  Unfortunately, without the photographers ( AYG and GCC), there was no attendance taken.

Then, it was off to Old Airport Rd for breakfast. The usual place although we had wanton mee from 3 different stores.

This Sunday, we will go back to Dempsey Road. The usual WKS route. 6.30 am. Hopefully, we can still open the toilets. Depending on the response, we may go to Mei Ling St for breakfast instead. See you.

Regards,

Yoke Weng

6 June 2010 Run from Pei Lin and Shih Pin's place

Attendance at last Sunday (6 June 2010) run was slightly ok with the absence of a few regulars like Ldr A, Goh family, Mark family, Eric etc. And hence, it was surprising to have Jasmine making an appearance at long last. Punctuality was poor as usual. When I arrived at 6.32 am, there was no one else in sight !!! And for a moment, I wondered if I had gone to the wrong place.

Anyway, the ladies were busy talking about shoes, and I thought it was some Jimmy Choo or Ferragamo shoes. But it turned out to be these toe shoes made  for running. ( not sure the brand – is it Vibram ?) . Then, we are off and there was a light drizzle which stopped as we jogged along. As usual, Mahean was lost at the Ranger Station area and was making preparations to run another additional 5 km or so. By the time we are all back to Northern trail, there was a huge downpour and everyone was soaked.

Regardless, we had a good breakfast. Bee Hoon ,waffles with blackberries  and Milo Pin by Shih Pin. Bee Lok did not quite execute his half boiled egg to perfection so it was in the end three quarter boiled egg. The neighbours also dropped by and it was quite a crowd. Before we left, we were entertained to a balancing display by Mahean on the Wii Fit machine. He appears to be doing Ok until he was told by the machine that he has a Wii age of 66 years old !!! At that stage, he left for home immediately.

So, that is quite a Sunday morning. This Sunday, I thought we do something on flat ground and we go back to ECP. Not sure if there are any events on. ( There seemed to be always something on !!) . And been in ECP, I hope our carpenter- namely the Cabinet organizer will turn up as well.

See you on Sunday 13 Jun, 6.30 am at ECP B1 carpark.  Do be early as car park fills up quite fast.

Regards
