It was the closing chapter for birthday celebrations this year for the youngest among us. We celebrated it on Lynn's actual birthday which was yesterday. Jenn, Lingzi and Fadly were on half day leave and we spent the day with her as the guys could not stay out late due to River Regatta the next day.

Prior to that, Jenn, Lingzi, Isabel, Xiao Wei and Keng Boon gave Lynn a surprise at her house on Thursday night.

We spent 2 hours in the afternoon in E-Max at Cineleisure Orchard. Guess we will be never be too old getting engrossed in video games. We were 'jamming' out the guitars on Nintendo Wii belting out Aerosmith Hits. Though it was just a game of coordination by strumming on colour combinations, we were fumbling initially. It became quite addictive after a while. Isabel rocked the house, hitting every note with near perfection and beating the rest of us hands down. "I Hate Myself for Loving You" was the most over-played song and got stuck in our head after the session.

"Hey hey, I wanna be a rock star. . ."

Jef and Hui Liang were in their own world, playing Counter Strike by themselves. Felt like we shared the room with 2 strangers. . .

Had dinner at Pasta Waraku in Hereen. We then proceed to the balcony terrace garden at Paragon, presented her with another cake, Isetan voucher and a special E-Card greetings (knowing that the effort in making a card for her will be wasted).

Not forgetting that we still had our run this week, on Tuesday and Thursday. 2 more weeks to Standard Chartered. Urghhh. . .

It will be a 8 long months wait to our next biggest event (not the Standard Chartered run)
. . . of year 2009! Yeah, we have secured seats to Bangkok next July. It's unbelievable cos we have not even plan anything yet for this year's New Year Eve celebration! Well at least there is something for us to look forward to in year 2009.

Everyone was upbeat during the run the next day. It was only less than a month ago that we came back from Bangkok, talking about the trip at Queenstown stadium and here we are at the same place discussing about the upcoming trip.

That aside, the Standard Chartered Run is less than a month away. Finally Coach HL has decided to increase training to twice weekly. Hope it is not too late. 42km is no joke, but Impossible is Nothing (TM).

It was a fun filled evening of lane polishing (and the gutters) at Kallang Bowl in Kallang Leisure Park. Finally we were able to bowl after a few failed attempts, mostly due to long waiting list. Before that, we had sumptuous sushifor dinner.

Paying tribute to the National Stadium. .

99 cents sushi...

Unfortunately Jef was unable to join us for bowling as he had other socialising commitments to fulfil.

Next time dude...

Jef's bowling ball helmet

While waiting for our turn, we helped to

complete a survey for Jef which will earn him some revenue. Jenn & Lynn didn't look really delighted doing the survey. .

The forever weary Hui Liang. . .

Though we are not skilled bowlers, it is always important to look like a pro. Check out our winning poses. . .

Fadly could have save $2 if this week running wasn't change to Fri while Huiliang would be the one paying the $2 if the running didn't change to Fri . Confused? but no matter wat, it's definately our 2nd $2 for the WRTS fund!

Wondering why it took so long for someone to update last week's run ? Lazy? Can't be bothered or don't know how to write??

Anyway we ran at Bishan Stadium last Wednesday, as Lingzi who was supposed not to be able to join us but wanted to join in at the eleventh hour after her aerobics class was cancelled. It was too late by then so we went ahead running at Bishan without her. Sorry Lingzi, this week will be back to Queenstown. Though we miss your presence, the macaroni fish soup was too hard to resist. . .

Jef on the other hand was not be able to join as he was having class til late. But then he realise his class was in the morning. In the end he still didn't join us as he had to be in the hospital. A deal is a deal though, the $2 fine still had to be paid.
