Garfield Run 2014

I am lucky to have fun running kakis around me who will keep me posted on interesting runs, such as The Garfield Run which was held at The Promontory @ Marina Bay. The registrations for the inaugural Garfield Run were fully sold out pretty fast, and I am glad that we managed to secure our slots.


Upon receiving a SMS message and an email from the organization, I made my way to Orchard Central to pick up my race pack. The collection of the race pack was pretty smooth and there were many parents signing up together with their kids, as this is a good start to relay messages to kids on the importance of regular exercising and staying healthy.


We decided to sign up for the 3KM Fun Run, as we love the design of the medal and the cute running tee. All runners were given a Garfield plush toy after the race/run. I know I sound like a little girl. Oh well, there is always the kid in me.  Apart from the runners’ entitlement, this event also offered bonding and quality time spent together.



The race bibs for all run categories which catered to children (2.2KM & 1.5KM), 5KM couple run and 3KM Fun Run for individuals.

Baby sent me to the running event venue and stay on to share my joy when I completed my run.




I met up my running mate at the start point, and we were both excited on our 3KM Fun Run. The race started at 6.30pm, and it set-off in waves of people! We were near the front as we crossed the start line in the second wave which was about 6.35-6.40pm. The venue was pretty near to the National Day Rehearsals where we saw helicopters and jet planes flying in the sky that brought the National Day moods to us. *Happy 49th Birthday, Singapore!*


It was pretty crowded even after we crossed the start line, and we had to walk/slow jog for the first hundred meters before we got some room space to start our run.


We came back within 30-min times and we were given our medal upon reaching the finish line.


YAY! I am so happy to receive my second running medal, and my next race is the Great Eastern Women's Run (GEWR) which will take place on the 09 November 2014.




Due to the delay of the plush toy, the organization threw in the exclusive Garfield Run notebook for us!!



I love hugging my plushie!!

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment, and I was

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening.

The common scalp problems can cause a lot of irritation, but also hair loss. I was in complete shock at the state of my nightmarish infected scalp! One must make a huge effort to take good care of your scalp. Hence here I am at Jonsson Protein for their signature VE Protein Hair Treatment.
