The Mizuno Mt Faber race was this morning, I did not run the event but based on feedback and word of mouth together with my own observations, the race went on very well and as satisfying as last year's race, with few improvements here and there. There were very much fewer runners this year too, presumably form the boycott...
Here is the 2nd installment of the my review of the southern ridges park connector review, this time the panorama shot from on top the bridge itself with people like on a normal visiting day. This panorama is a 180 degree shot with Telok Blangah hill on the left and Mt Faber on the right. It comprises of about...
You may know of the southern ridges park connector review I wrote recently on the sights and sounds you can get on the 9km journey from Harbor front to West Coast park. Complimentary to that will be a photo stitch I finally got done on the Hyderabad Road's Hort Park. This panorama is a 360 degree shot facing the...

There we have it, the return of the Mizuno Wave Run 2008. The first few races from 2004-2005 were great, but last year's one was really terrible. Looks like it's deja-vu again this year as the 2008 run will take place exactly at the same venue and route. Here are some off-hand details of the Mizuno Wave Run 2008

Canopy walk
Coming from Hortpark, will bring you along the path to the next line of attraction of this park connector- The tree top canopy walk. The name itself should suggest a bit or two on your following route up to the attraction, involving quite alot of climbing from the bottom of Kent Ridge hill, leading up to Kent ridge...
The Forest walk
The forest walk consist of a series of interlinking grated steel walkways joined together to form a continuous linked hilltop walkway towering over the tree canopy tops. One end starts off at the peak of Telok Blangah hill park, slowly descending down the hill as it goes before ending at Alexandra road with the Alexandra Arch Bridge....
The southern park ridges is part of the newly constructed park connectors which aims to completely link all the various parks in Singapore in a continuous round island loop, taking you from ends such as Choa Chu Kang to Changi coast road.
This southern portion of the island loop (also known as the Southern ridges) spans a total distance...
Last year's race was great! And after last year's success, VGO will be having their 2nd annual regular go at the Mount Faber run again. For those who are familiar with the brief history is line of Mt Faber races are a resurrection of the annual race many years ago. Just hope the previous experiences of badly organised wave...
Passed my IPPT with a silver at Maju Camp yesterday. Despite able to get a silver, it was my worst result to date, with 3 points (C) scored for standing board jump and 2.4km run with 21 points total. It was like Oh my Gosh, 11:14 for 2.4km? that was like more than 1 minute since I ran last...
Held this morning at the Victoria Junior College, the dialogue session saw a panel of key personnel such as Mr Jacques Rogge (President IOC), Mr Sergey Bubka (Chairman, YOG Coordination Commission) and Mr Ng Ser Miang. Security was relatively tight with police presence, as hinted by the police vans and cars parked around. The gathering saw "top" students from...
