London Marathon
On Apr 22, it was the day of the London Marathon. and guess what? My place was actually part of the route!! early in the morning at around 9am, me and shuwen went downstairs, eager to catch abit of the marathon atmosphere. it's almost like a festival kind of thing.. with ballons, banners etc. And the supporters are really very supporting. Including ourselves! we were clapping and cheering. According to shuwen, who is a veteran runner, it's never like that in singapore. Maybe because due to the hot weather, the runs usually start at unearthly hours like 6am etc. So naturally, nobody will wake up so early to go to the expressway to cheer for you. Whereas here, the weather allows u to start the marathon at 9am. And by around 935 - 940am, the first lady runners have already reached my place at Surrey Quays!

The runners are all very on! There are so many pple who really took an effort to dress up for the run. Imagine Supermans, Scooby, nurses, firemen, gorillas, paddington bears etc.. it's amazing! Ha.. although it looks fun, but I don't think I will ever take part in a Marathon in my entire life. hahaha....
