♥|You're my Comicbook Superhero.

persevere,
never give in.

and that's the spirit that the runners of last sunday's singapore standard chartered marathon demonstrated ever so strongly. doesn't it just get to you? :D haha.

members of team YELLOW went down to help, 'cause 4 Special Olympics athletes took part in the full 42km marathon! :D 2 others participated in a 10km marathon. mannn, i salute you who runs ! :D longd is seriously no joke. the longest distance i ever did was 8km and that was like hell as it was :/ HAHA.

cedar representatives (that's us! :D), volunteers from ACS(I) and of course, SO people, all joined together to form 3 separate teams. KALLANG, LAGOON & FORTROAD<3! fortroad's divided into 2 further sub-groups. all we had to do was wait for the SO athletes to run past with their coaches, and then offer them 100plus, bananas, chocolates, salonpas air spray and powergel :D and to encourage them on! :D

BUDDY and i were in the same FORTROAD group! :D :D yay. haha. in the end all of us got so bored waiting for the SO athletes - 'cause there are only 4 anyway - we started cheering everyone that was running :D some people were so friendly! they would say thanks, high5 us and did the thumbs up sign :D one guy even konichiwa-ed BUDDY and i xD

here are the runners! :D
sorry, but all singaporeans are the slower ones :/
as can be seen in this photo which was taken some time into the race.
the blacks are the pro-est! :D

see that guy in red on the extreme left? it's one of the ACS(I) guys! haha, all the SO volunteers decided to come in RED! :D yep. cedarians came clad in a red top and fbts :D and so this explains why i'm in red in the next photo xD

BUDDY and i were bored holding bananas out; they seemed to melt! :/
so she sneaked this photo of me! bummer, i didn't even know..

after all SO athletes passed our station, we all assembled at the endpoint - padang. UGH, BUDDY and i got so pissed waiting for that shuttle bus 'cause there was a jam! what was supposed to be a 15minute wait turned into almost an hour -.- screw. and the journey was so long, poor BUDDY who only had 3 hours of sleep the night before fell asleep, on my shoulder xD HAHA.

here are what i call HEROs :D
SO athletes with their trainers - pure miraclemakers.

teams cedar and ACS(I)! :D
there's this guy wearing the white SO shirt over his own red one.
and can you see BUDDY and i? xD

finally, after all our hardwork, we were dismissed! it was time for lunch, ~~and a little shopping~~ :D HAHA. went into the esplanade. they've a different theme for the artwork each time. monthly perhaps? hm. look at what we found :D

wiremen @ esplanade! :D

then we went to marina, bk. yum, mushroom swiss! :D but we're forever so broke ): ugh. haha. after eating we went walking! :D especially the fact that balmnail always has so many things to see and show us xD there was this performance going on in marina..

robots! :D so cute.
but BUDDY took this photo and it's a wee bit too bright :/

and guess who made a special guest appearance? :D

it's candice! xD HAHA. ex-cedarian :D
actually this is a photo on a wall.. advert for the hairdresser.
BUDDY was like, "what hair is this anyway?!" xD

i know you spied something weird on the floor!

yes, it's what she ate for lunch! :D HAHA.
7 eleven's spaghetti, by any chance? :/

balmnail found this cd in the used cd shop! :D
it's called HAPPYCAMPERS that's why we're so fascinated xD
eew, it's blur. and there can only be three possible reasons for that:
one, my hand's unstable.
two, balmnail's hand is unstable.
three, BOTH our hands are xD

as we were heading toward the mrt, we saw that people were giving starbucks coffee for free :D so we all went to get a cup. but we decided to share some, 'cause if not it'll appear like as if cedarians are so greedy xD balmnail was malu-ed, as usual :D

isn't this cool? :D
and it's chilled coffee! HAHA, though i'm more of a TEAdrinker.

just before we left..

it's a harp :D
balmnail was so freakin' fascinated. HAH.

when will our reflection show, who we are inside?

oh, we had so much fun that day :D helping the SO is great! it has shown me that those mentally disabled people can be as good as us :D mannn, they are really good. you just need to give them opportunities to discover their talents. and that's what the SO is about! :D

and this is random: balmnail has serious problems with her words xD HAHAHA. she and RAHH were trying to memorise this line that goes, "a smile is a gravity-defying act that flexes your muscles and exercises your personal charm." and in the end, it got so morphed, it became "a smile is a gravity-defying act that mexes your fluscles and exercises your muscler charm." what the hell? xD xD i love balmnail for that. it's the best entertainment one can get :D

yay, BUDDY can now get people to read this! xD since she's so lazy to blog :/ HAHA.

there is nothing like your love;
