just got back from collecting my race pack for the nike+ human race. well the organisation was really horrible because:
1) the race pack collection days are today (sunday) and monday. even idiots will know that the entire crowd will collect their goodie bag today. ok even assuming that they constrains of not being able to have it on saturday...
2) merely 10 collection counters will definitely not be enough to handle the close to 10000 crowd that'll come for the collection, even if it lasts throughout the day. singapore marathon saw around 30000+ participants but they probably had 5 times the number of counters
yup so in the end they was a dragon-ing queue down at clarke quay today. i only queued up for and hour and a half thanks to tuck wen who helped me *cough* cut *cough* queue. *cough* erhem. he was there since 12:45. me and my brother reached at 4. we got our goodie bags at 5:30. wow. if we hadn't been there tuck would have fainted from hunger.
ok that aside. i managed to catch the fireworks at marina with thomas, leon and naraen on friday. watching the fireworks display with your girlfriend is one thing. watching with them is a totally different feeling.
as the fireworks went "boom! boom! boom!"
"wah, our taxes also all going 'boom! boom! boom!'"
refering to the smaller fireworks: "eh! that's my 20cents, and 50cents!"
refering to the larger ones: "ah! that one. 50 dollars."
"that one! that one! ERP"
