| MY FIRST FUN RUN |

Alhamdulillah!

I made it for my first fun run and completing the 5km race in 1.5hours! And since it was paid for by the company, why not! Just run laa~~~

Proud coz I managed to leave home by 6.15am and took the train all the way to Gardens By the Bay though in between I got lost and kanchiong abit ar - never a train person unless I don't have to change trains or already familiar with the route. Thanks Google Map for tricking me today hor!

The other Noraini was super super helpful and guided me from the day she registered (she registered because she wanna accompany me)! So sweet laaaa~~~ Like macam Mak layankan kerenah anak! Hahahaha. And yes, her name is also Noraini. Hehehehe.

So before the day itself, we had to collect the care pack 2 weeks earlier at Clarke Quay - nasib lah ade Noraini Nen, kalau tak memang I is sesat already. Actually we got lost then we saw one of our colleague and I was waving at him asking him if he knows me since I was in niqab and he said yes, Bella. Hahahaha. Funny! Then he became our tour guide and showed us the way to collect the care pack - thank you Loo!!!

So we got our T-Shirt and bibs, excited for the big day! Wuhoo~~~

2 days before run day, I was super kanchiong and sent my T-Shirt for sleeve extension coz I didn't wanna wear any long sleeve inner or hand socks - so leceh this one! Told Ah Boy to find any black cloth and extend my sleeve can do laa, no time to find exact material - dunno where he got the cloth also. Hahahaha. But nice, he managed to finish it in a day!

And I bought a track pant from Shopee as well as a cap tudung (I dunno what is the exact name called) from Shopee too!

Then on the day itself, took me 30 minutes to decide on my tudung because I just realized that the cap tudung had a short back end (does not cover my body) and the T-Shirt which was 4XL is a little body tight though still comfortable except it feels like I am wearing 2XL instead! Errrrggghhh~~~

Then I finally gave up and just proceed to wear the cap tudung I bought with a face mask instead and had my wide khimar as well as niqab in my bag to change after the run! My bag was literally heavy till one of the handle snapped! Hahahaha. My water bottle and medications, lotions takes most of the load and me being me - lasak nak mampos kind of person!

Happily went out wearing my new Nike shoe which I bought for work (worn once and had the Crocs on for the rest of the 2 weeks I was at office). Hahaahah.

And guess what, it was muddy like crazy that morning since it rained overnight! Selenge moments again lah hor!

Contemplating to walk to the MRT or take the bus then I saw another 10km runner still happily sitting at my void deck and I tell myself, "He 10km still can chill, so I 5km no need rush laaa." So I walked to the MRT at 6.15am!

Ouh! Ouh! Oppa woke up and ask where was I going and how come I am not wearing work outfit to which I said got company event and he said, "Ouh. You got field trip is it Mummy?"

Alamak my boys. Always asking me questions that I cannot answer. Hahahaha. But why you so cute lah Oppa! Early morning ask me this kind of questions.

Then I took the train to Orchard (because Google map ask me to and tricked me!) changed to TEL (my first TEL ride too ar~~~) and proceeded to Gardens by the Bay! To which I only realized that I could have stopped at Marina Bay and change to the same TEL for 1 station only. But its okay! I got a seat in the TEL train! Hehehehe. Important this one.

We arrived, checked-in my bag and loitered around while waiting for our time to run!

I am so so lucky to have Noraini Nen with me because all the way I was telling her, "Want cheat abit and u-turn here?" Like literally every 10 minutes because I was so tired and thirsty even after having my drink!

But she motivated me all the way and we spoke, laughed and talked about so much stuffs! We ended up finishing the 5km run in 1 hour 33 minutes - the last 10 to make it to the finishing line. Hehehehe! But hey! At least I didn't cheat and made it through okays~~~ Though we saw a few who did what I planned to do. But its okay, we made it halal!

We walked through the bazaar - wanted to get some plants but we had plans after, waited for the grand lucky draw and headed off to Suntec for Fried Chicken Master! We had curry puff and hotdog bun at the bazaar because we were super hungry first.

And yes! The other reason I can see the finishing line that day was because of Fried Chicken Master! My motivation to finish the race halal and on time! Though we clicked a little 3 minutes later.

Happily ordered our food after Noraini Nen gave me a little tour of the MRT ride! Hahahaha. We sat down, relaxed, chilled and enjoyed our TAIWAN CHICKEN plus MILK TEA after!

And as usual, we wanted to take the bus but got lost inside Suntec - then the road was closed for an event so I could not take 857 home! Then Noraini Nen was showing me the way to take the MRT to Bishan and change to NSL line but I know Bishan always always no seat! So I detoured on my own and took the TEL to Marina Bay and take the NSL there instead. Hehehehe.

Reached home and I plopped on my bed at the living room!

END OF DAY FOR ME at 2pm! Golek-golek throughout the day and disturbed the boys - they really hate it when I do that but I was bored!

Then we had dinner together, I continue to golek-golek and disturbed the boys before the end of the day!

Assalamualaikum,
