5423 Live Dangerously with me
(Content in bold are fictional stuff which was added to increase viewership)

Today was the AHM. Got up at 4am and drove to fetch weicai and quickly head to the starting point. We didn't expect SO MANY roads to be condored off. And we took 45 mins to find the exit that can lead us to the start point.

While performing a sharp turn at high speed of 140km/h and looking around for exits. A car suddenly appeared just 2 m infront. Lightning fast reflexes of me saved the day as i jamed the brakes causing the car to skid 2 m....
Just when we thought we could get off without a scratch and immediately speed off, a giant turtle crawled out from the kerb causing the car to flip. Since the momentum of the car is great, the car skidded on its top for around 20 meters before stopping. Weicai and i quickly crawled out through the window just before the car burst into flames!

We quickly made our way to the starting point. Unfortunately we are not in time for the actual 530am flag off time. Hence we decided to run at 545 with the non-competitive people aka army people. So by any chance we might bump into them along the way ( since we will definately overtake all of them)! And so we did.

While running, i saw my greatest fan edwin cheng from across the road! He was with a pioneer, xiao yang, (i think... is that his name? ed correct me if im wrong.. or zheng yang?). Just when i approached him, there was a sudden lightning flash and struck the branches of the tress above. Both yang and edwin were squashed. Not wanting them to slow me down. I pretended not to know them and continued running.

Everything was the usual run until i reached the east coast point peeing point. You know, the drain upon entering ecp where people start peeing opening? yah.... Orignially i was rather disgusted with that, that was just so uncultured. But then again, the organisers shld have placed more cubicles for the runners. Else it will definitely be a AHM culture. Anyway, apparantly there was a lady running in cheongsam who seemed no to like the sight, sneak up at the back of the peeing men and pushed them across the fence and into the drain.

I really enjoyed running along the beach. The sea started to glitter. And around the turning point i saw quiet a few pioneers as well! Zhuo yu and wee liat, they were running together... Wee kiong was not far behind. Singal storeman jeremy was there (but false memory denied me from recalling where exactly i saw him). While enjoying the beautiful sight of the sea. There was a loud crack of cannon and a pirate ship appeared!
"welcome to singapore!," one of the crew announced to his fellow mates.
They started a slashing people they caught sight off. Everyone was sreaming in pain and started pushing one another at the narrow lane. I ran as fast as i can for my life! Since when u see pirates running fast?

Dont feel much upon completing the race. Didnt improve since last yr, but at least i didnt deprove... ...
The bag collection was the exact time i took for my marathon.... I should have gone to chit chat with the people before collecting my bags. While i was sitting down on the floor queuing up. The sewage cover opened and 4 ninjas came out and offer me a pizza. These people stink! And i almost fainted a few times if not of my strong will power. (but that doesnt deter me from sleeping)

Sickening EDWIN was no where to be found when weicai and i collected out bags and wanted to join him for lunch. IT was then an owl flew to me an delivered a ransom letter saying that EDWIN was kidnapped!
'Oh no!,' the kind hearted I exclaimed, holding the letter in despair,' What should we do?"
"hack care! Lunch is more impt!," The mean grouchy weicai snapped, tearing the letter into streads,'Lets go get lunch buffet."
Since the address of the ransom location is no more, i gave up on him and went to the buffet lunch.

Wei jie, my ntu friend, joined us for lunch as well! (have i mentioned that it is his birthday as well same as wee keat? but since we 'celebrated' his birthday last friday so i dont think its impt to do so again ba.. later he obligated to treat us buffet)
And so we sat at the joquiam resturant at suntec.
We all started eating.
"what is this?,"weijie pointed out, putting his spoon down,' It tastes different'
"Its horrible!" I shrilled, banging on the table.
"ITs poision,"The chef came out from the kitchen and let out a sinister laugh," Bwahaha!"
"Lets get out of here before the poison take effect!"Weicai suggested to us, taking his bag.

Nonetheless, the chef started thrusting his knives at us. Quick witted weijie flipped over the table and used it as a shield to block us from the knives. We ran out of the restuarant following weijie's lead. We bearly stayed there for an hr. Having the sense of betrayal of us bringing him to such a restuarant, weijie went back home. Fortunately, an strong old woman with a scar on her left cheek found us and gave us the antidote. Its in the form of a burger king hersey pie. Yum yum...

It was then i realised during the mist of confusion, my hp screen got scratched. Weicai brought me to a hp shop to add a screen protection film for $24.... yah... for a plastic sheet of the size of a hp screen... Arg...

The last stop for today was the trip to the interchange to make my student ez link card.
(have i mentioned that it will be my 5th trip truying to make a ez link card?)
"I need a photo," the lady said.
"i thought there is one in the data base?"
"oh yes! SO u want to use this?"
I hesitated, knowing how badly taken the one in the database was. I search my wallet for any other pictures. The most decent one was the nirc one which is black and white. Then followed by the army one.... It was after a while that i realised of the one i had for my driving license.
"i took this one after i pass my test, so very happy"

The lady look at my photo and was stunt!
"you are the one from my dreams!," she looked up and stared directly at me for the first time," you are my prince charming...."
" okok! u do my ez link card first, i'll go out with u later," i replied.

She started doing my card at a lightning fast speed. And i finally got my ez link card!
