Safari Zoo Run 2010

went to the mandai zoo for the Safari Zoo Run 2010 this afternoon. it was a looong journey to amk and took bus there. the run itself wasnt too atttractive actually. much worse than expected becos i had prev thought that it was the zoo and should feel lively and fun! in the end its qt dull. the animals were mostly hiding i guess. since it was qt scary to see thousands of ppl running past lol. and the weather did not help. altho it was much better than the scorching sun in the early afternoon, it was v humid on top of the slight smell and original humdity normally present in the zoo. so overall the course of the run was qt sian, the only thing to see are ppl LOL.

there were qt a large number of participants and some are just there to have fun, some stop to take photos alr at the first like 500m LOL. some are families with children. they are just so cute! haha most children are. but i feel 6.2 km is too much for them so i guess a jog then walking was a good option for most ppl belonging to this case.

it was qt relaxed a run as we kind of stayed tgt. if i were alone i would have "chionged" and be more tired bah.
after the run there were like freebies given away and gosh, too many le bah! free goodie bag which is v nice! but its a bit too niang and handbag-like so i cant really find a way to carry it. probably benefit the ladies in my family. hahaha. den there were free packet drink free ice cream free fruit bar. and free yogurt which we just missed. haha. and there was a lucky draw which was conducted at the end so most ppl, i guess, stayed back...

i still dun really get the point of this run actually haha cos we dunno exactly where to proceeds go to. and its v ex. 38 bucks! maybe its just becos its at the zoo. some $$ will go to helping endangered species, somehow as the emcee mentioned. dunno how it will be the case though.

at the end of the day, with the sad face trend, we couldnt resist a sad shot. haha i still lose to eljx anyhow. he has the sadest face la omg. BORN TO BE SAD. SAD LIFE. lolllllllllllllllllll.

the bad thing about the run today is the inaccessibility of the zoo. gosh! the buses came at a low frequency!! they should have made arrangements for the buses to come at a slightly higher frequency knowing such a big scale event was occuring! in the end of the day, the run started at abt 4 plus, and we were still in the zoo @ 720. did not get onto 3 buses to amk and 1 fully packed bus to cck. den had dinner at lot 1 before rotting my way back to home. haha.

im just a little disappointed that it wasnt as fun as i believed so, plus a missed seeing the zebras la ARGH. when both eljx and genehow saw. shucks.
