WRTS succesfully organised a wonderful Xmas party at Bukit Batok Home TeamNS Chalet.

To date it was the largest event with 23 attendees:

The motto of the party was hassle-free and minimal wastage. Therefore we ordered a variety of food from McDonalds, KFC, Pizza De France together with Sushi and Bee Hoon.

Traditionally, Xmas won't be complete without a Turkey. But in this case, it was such a disappoinment. Costing almost $40, the turkey was almost inedible, with a 'rosemary' pungent smell given off and a weird after-taste.

Ladies were engrossed in Uno Stacko

3B13 reunites! At least half of us. .

While waiting for the clock to strike midnight, the guys were subjected to Jenn and Eliza's Most Valuable Man (MVM) of the Night, as a form of entertainment. The men were put through a series of test to determine the winner of the deserving title.

The hunks of WRTS won in 2 category (Fadly in Test of Wisdom, Jef in Test of Wit). It was a tie between Fadly and Ivan for the Test Of Fitness.

Even so, none of us won the 'coveted' title which was awarded to Ivan. He received an overwhelming number of votes from the ladies in the Popularity Category, even though Hui Liang went topless, trying to garner votes for himself. It was a last minute desperate move as he had not won anything. As usual he believed that given his calibre, he should have swept away all the prizes.

Ivan: The MVM of the night and a proud owner of FHM Collector's Edition Issue

Gift exchange was conducted soon after the countdown. Each one of us bought a gift each, $15 worth, as agreed prior to the party.

Jenn and Eliza even bought gifts for everyone, out of their own pockets, for the sure-win lucky dip.

Happy Hour then begins, and ended till the wee morning. Highlights were:

>>Jef has found a formidable match in the art of nagging, none other than Ivan.
>>Hui Liang finally vomitted after previous few attempts to get him puke failed.

Once again, We run the show, brilliantly. Special thanks to:

--> Jef, the Chairman for 'Not a Lonely Xmas'
--> Hui Liang, for planning the menu
--> Jenn, for coordinating the guest list and funds
--> Eliza, for hosting the games
--> Lynn, for the sushi and log cake
--> EVERYONE for attending!

"Get The Party Started!!"

Touted as one of the largest dance festival in South East Asia, Siloso Beach was the place to be on 13th December.

While waiting for Jef who was having his last paper til 9pm, the rest of us chilled the night at Vivo. It was already almost midnight when we were going to soak up the atmosphere.

We spent most of the night at the Mambo Jambo/Hip Hop Arena, grooving to evergreen retro hits til 2am and then continued bopping to Hip Hop & RnB hits from 4am.

Hui Liang managed to hook up a fine young lady, or should we say its the other way round.

Kiyah Splashh team were also spotted having fun! Whoosh~!

It was around 7am that we decided to call it a day. As much as we wanted to end it on a high note, something totally unexpected happened. Stella's bag was missing from the same locker she shared with Jef and Lynn, which was still locked when they went to retrieve them. By the time we waited for the authorities to arrive to take down her statement, it was already 11am when we left Sentosa. Poor Stella. . . Our heart goes to you, may the jerk who stole your bag lose something even bigger in his life. We will just bring ourselves, along with our ID and cards in our pockets for ZoukOut 2009, if there's any.

Lastly a tribute to Jenn, who has always been trying to get a piece of Jef.

"Tough times don't last,

but tough runners do. . . "

It's finally here, the day we have been training for since September. It was the girls' first running event for 10km and the guys' first full 42.195km marathon.

Stella joined the guys for the 42.195km run, as an unregistered participant, completed the race and even managed to get a finisher T Shirt!

Looking fresh at 0500hr. .

It was indeed a painful experience. The pace was good for the first 30km. Fadly and Hui Liang lost Jef and Stella along the way, somewhere at the 15km mark at East Coast Park.

Pain started to set in after 30km mark, just as we were about to complete the East Coast Park route. We just have to overcome it and dragged our feet to the finishing line. But thanks to the endless flow of Ice Mountain water, 100 plus, bananas, oranges, GU Energy Gel and Deep Heat Rub, we persisted and made it through!

Kudos to Jenn and Lynn too, for completing their first ever 10km run when the guys were still running the race.

RACE RESULTS

Hui Liang: 5:44:49

Fadly: 5:44:49

Jef: 7:06:00

Lynn: 1:15:14

Jenn: 1:15:15

Hui Liang and Fadly came in together at the finishing line this time. Hui Liang's goal this time was to get himself photographed as many shots possible (read: cam whore), hence the same timing as he didn't make a dash to the finishing line. Also along the running route, he tried to position himself nearer to the cameras when he saw the event photographers snapping some shots. Check out marathon-photos.com to see whether he really did fulfil his goal.

That wraps up the running event for 2008. Next on the line will be Adidas Sundown. The girls will be participating in the 10.5km women run. As there are only Full and Ultra Marathon category for Men's Individual, the guys will be forming a team for the 10.5km Team Category. Well unless we wanna go through 42.195km again, or better yet the Ultra 84km!
