I had a lovely surprise in my inbox........all the way from Switzerland.

My marketing team colleagues whom are really sweet, lovely, crazy, fun and hyper ppl. Without them, I would be insane working in Switzerland, the land of Moo-Moo Cows!!!

Left to right: Lovely JU, Superman Gregoire, Hyper Katharina and Demure Lucie

I guess those bottles in their hands sums it all -_-"

JP Morgan Corporate Challenge 2011

so the story begin when our dearie MD decided to do this as a TEAM
T_T aiyo~~~~~~~

Baby Wei's BIB 3466
and all BIB contain some sort of chip or barcode to detect participants
also for registration purpose

so at 5pm sharp about 13,233 participants congregated at the esplanade
where the starting point is
major roads nearby were closed for this event, so our cab couldn't get thru and we had to walked

as we were walking lazily towards the kilometres long starting line we saw kiasu ppl warming up
running up and down, stretching, star-jump, hopping and meditating~~~~
flexing their body, and runnin-on-spot in such ferocious speed that smoke came outta their shoes

Mommy Jacky, Monkey, Baby Wei and Alex da Ah Beng popping out of nowhere
yes u can see we were way way way way at the back.......even on the starting line
*my BIB was 3469 and I forgot to buy 4D*

and why oh why didn't it rain?????
but thank gawd it wasn't sunny and there was some breeze coming fr the sea

after waiting for more than an hour....we only get to start....at 6.20pm
coz they have dragon dance and list of sponsors to thank for

there were only 15 of us in our team as compared to other financial institution and telcos, we were like an ANT team :P

most came decked in their corporate logos, corporate colours,
flashing their tech gears on their arms....be it for measuring heartbeat or number of steps they've took
or just an ipod playing their fav music...

as for us...we got our lovely lips to entertain us.......with nuisance and bitching session...
:P
Monkey just complained all the way thru....arghhhhhhh

everyone were running so fast
I felt like an underpowered cc car on the road with the Ferraris and Lambos zooming past me left and right.....vrrommm vrrrommm vrrrommmm

think I was a hazard on the road for being so slow...coz those participants kept beeping me..
"excuse me....excuse me..."

think less than 5 minutes we were heading to Marina Bay Sands
and again I was right at the back......huffing and puffing like grandma

Alex da Ah Beng: "Stop taking pic and start running!!!!!!"
and so I let them ran past joining all the mean machines of Ferraris and Lambos

Scooby Doo~~~~~
dunno which company was this but managed to snap these bunch of angmohs in their cute suit
I felt like pulling their tail!!!!!! kekekekkekeke
the female scooby doo has got a headband with a bow on it!!!!! I like!!!!!!
can I be part of your team? u can call me scrabby doo????

later we were underneath the Singapore Flyer
time to start Operation X
Operation X = run to Medics Marquee

can u believe it...once we reached the 1.6km mark which was the medics marquee
and also the finishing line....
*oh well they have to continue on for a few more km before u-turning back to this point*
there were already RUNNERS CROSSING the finishing line
splashing themselves with cold water and downing 100 plus
-_-" are these human or wat?
we did 1.6km and they've done 5.6km????

as we sat thru for the next hour waiting for our TEAM member to cross the line
we saw so many casualties at the medics marquee....
I think due to the number of participants, accidents can't be prevented...
ppl falling on the road/pavement hurting themselves, from the ankles to the arm to FINGERS!!!!!!
it was a bloody scene at the Medics Marquee...

an hour past.....and more participants crossed the finish line
non of our team members made it yet...
hmmmmm..........

the sun set....and my heart skipped longing to be at the Flyer
my stomach growling fr hunger coz I did 1.6km!!!!!! hahahahahha
my sensitive nose twitched with all the sweat + BO comin fr all the angmohs participants

later the team member came gushing one by one at the finish line
all RED and SWEATY and panting for breathe...and swore never ever again

MD: "No gals.....I've registered all of you for Great Eastern Run this July!!! pls come prepared coz it's a 10km run"
Monkey faints~~~~~~~

Singapore CBD fr the flyer
it was a good experience....my very first marathon :P
I had fun doin ppl-watch though....hahahaha

now back to serious stuff:
JP Morgan Corporate Challenge 2011 is the 8th one being held in Spore
it's a worldwide event runnin consecutively from London, New York to Sydney
all proceeds will go to MILK and ACM
YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!

pics stolen fr the web hehehehe
it's Mr. Jochen Kuenzel of Boston Consulting vs Mr. Ho of UBS sprinting to the finishing line

and the results:
MEN -- Christopher Yates of BP Singapore *yaaay go go BP!!!!!*
WOMEN -- Jenny Lundgren of Standard Chartered Singapore

and after this race.....we sprinted to the hawkers centre for char kuey teow, satays, carrot cake, hokkien mee, grilled chicken wings and pilled on more than we burned :P
neeehhhh!!!!!

My Birthday Pressie fr last year

yea....the pressie for meself took so long
9 mths to make
and finally it is HERE!!!!!!!
*star jump*
no I mean I am here in Switzerland to fetch her home!!!


coz the movement is one of its kind in the world.....totally aligned with such sheer transparency
u can see thru and enjoy the view
the gold bridge *by the way it's called Miss Golden Bridge - the official name* is hand-engraved with fern design
oh well u need a microscope to truly enjoy this engranving


again it took so long coz everything was hand assembled...
such a beauty and so easy to love
this watch is patented and definitely ain't easy to make
studded with 90 diamonds it's a sight to behold


but the reason why it took so long coz Monkey specifically wanted piece no.30
to commemorate my 30th birthday *gosh I am goin to be 31 soon!!!!*
and most of all I needed 9 months to save $$$$$ for this
kekekekekkekekekekekee


welcome to my watch-robe missy!!!!
I'm gonna pimp u up soon with a WHITE crocodile strap
oh well I need to save $$$ again for tat


Sayang Sayang~~~~~~~

the most enjoyable session was the 60 minutes musical by SHOUT!!!! the Mod musical

heavily preggy in yellow was Nikki, beautiful dusty blue was Tisha, Ning Baizura was all retro in orange, petite Shanel Shanty and Tria Aziz
such powerful vocals.....

they brought us down the memory lane through songs from the 60's right up to 80's
I am looking forward to their next dates of performance in KLPAC

Val was so eppy and jovial

she was tense, defiant and stressed!!!!

most of us ran away fr her...hehehehe
esp when champagnes glasses fell onto floor and bcame gazillion specs
all she worried was...."did my totem fell down??? did my display towers fell off????"

Nasser & Mommy Jacky :)))

"ce qui vous veulent Nasser?????"
Nasser: "YOU....AND ME....it's OVER huh????
"Oui. Nasser. It. Is. Over."

Nasser: "Can I come to Malaisie to look u up."

"NO. O_O"
whenever we were stressed up...we talk rubbish to make time passes by quickly
and to destress I suppose..
