Rain rain go away...

I celebrated Grandma's birthday last week.. it was good this year.. her sisters and brothers turned up for the mini - buffet dinner my uncle arranged for her in her home in Sengkang.. haha.. when i arrived, i found most of the granduncles and aunties gambling.. the '4 sticks' and mahjong.. lol. my auntie also arranged a msn video conf for my grandma and my cousin who's studying in Australia... its her first time doing such a thing.. so it was quite funny to see her trying to talk thru a microphone and lookin at the screen at my cousin as she showed my grandma her room over in Australia...

At the scene of the crime...

The Oldies. Grandma and her siblings.

The Family. My parents and my uncles, aunties.

The Kids. Me and my sis and cousins.

My grandma using msn for the first time.

Before that.... I went over to Clarke Quay to collect my Nike Human Race race pack.. lol. boy it was packed man.. coupled with the crappy weather.. the queue snaked around the whole Clarke Quay fountain square and all the way to MOS and back... randomly asking a stranger.. who happened to be quite way ahead in the queue.. he mentioned that he had queued up for 3 hours already and still he's 1 hour away from collecting his race pack.. wah. major cock up by the nike ppl sia. zzz. I wonder if the actual race would be a cock up.. seeing how they manage the race pack collection.

The good thing that day was that the few of us in the team who are running happened to bum into one or two friends who are way ahead in the queue so managed to cut some time queuing up. Thanks also to Wilfred who got his PESS friend to help me get my race pack by the 'backdoor'.. else i don't think i can make it to my grandma's party on time.

The bad thing that happened throughout the weekend was that it was always raining in the afternoons... it totally messed up our training time.. which isn't good cos its only 2 more weeks to the first race of this work-year... I also heard that the thunderstorm on saturday had an elderly couple struck by lightning off Punggol Pier.. zzz. The guy didnt do so well and he passed on.. heard he mentioned to his wife minutes ago that lightning won't hit them... so well. damn. my condolenences.

and worst thing that happened for this week. I pulled my hamstring again. darn. how come sprinting once a week has become so damaging all of a sudden...
