ABnC Runners

Run this Sunday 13 March 2011 at SICC Sime again (6.30am)

It was still dark as I drove into SICC Sime. But a lot of golfers were there early – probably doing their quick 9 holes. The ABC runners slowly streamed in and at first light, we started towards Kheam Hock Rd. The Indian did not turned up , so it was left to Shih Ping to lead the pack. Lai Eng tried to start a rebellion by taking the lead at the downhill part and dashed to NParks HQ ( ie the toilet! ) first. Relieved, he decided to stay behind. On the return route, some of us tried the red track at the University. Some went to the J Ballas Gardens ( for guava ? ) . Other than that, nothing interesting to report.

We proceeded to Ah Seng for breakfast after showers. Did not have our usual fried carrot cake as the stall was closed. So, only the you char kuey. And there was a long queue at Ah Seng so the noodles took a while to arrive. Might be have been faster if Ldr A is around to use his charm on Ah Seng !! We had a long table so various people were talking about their pet topics at the same time. Lau Goh brought some flyers on the Mt Ophir trip so those who are interested, please contact him for a top of the world experience.

This Sunday we go back to SICC Sime again. We are running out of ideas for new routes as the requirements are so stringent – free parking, shower facilities, good breakfast !! . I was thinking of doing the run at Pasir Ris but since Lily is not working this Sunday, I decided to postpone it to another time. Some ABC runners are taking part in the Temesek Club amazing race, so the crowd may not be very big this Sunday. Probably do the run in the forest then. So, see you around 6.30 am at SICC Sime on 13 March.

CNY Brunch at Marigold Drive after run at 7am on Sunday 13 Feb 2011. Please email Mark the food you are bringing.

If you are reading this email today (9^th Feb) , then, Happy birthday – this being everybody’s birthday ( 人日).

Last week was all the festive runs – CNY first day run, and then Sunday run at ECP (plus Sat for SLR runners). Attendance is not great but ok as everyone might be busy.

Not too many places for breakfast although by last Sunday, most places are back to normal. There were some queries on the accuracy on the statistics of whether this is first time Lily turn up on consecutive Sundays etc and of course statistics lie – so just read everything at face value.

There was also a singing audition – this time it is not Wong Can’t sing but Lee Can’t Sing. Of course, I am referring to Bunk Kah Lee, namely The Indian. We welcome him back after his declared “flu” – cough, cough. No, we did not ask him to sing He Xin Nian but Silent Night. Glad to report that he is making progress.

Back to more eating. We will have our CNY gathering in the form of a brunch after Sunday run. I hope our Social chairman will organize the dishes and the drinks.

In view of this, I have decided that we can start a bit later so that we do not wait too long. Of course, the alternative is to run longer. So, for the first time ( statistics again !) , we will start our run at 7 am. ( of course, we will really run at 7.15 am, if we are lucky ??). Non-runners can join brunch later.

Ok, see you at Marigold Drive at 7 am on Sunday 13^th Feb. Will wait till Sunday instead to wish you Happy Valentine.
