PCCW Global Charity Run 2017

I took part in the PCCW Global Charity Run 2017 , which was held at the Gardens By the Bay (Silver Leaf), to show my support for charity! 100% of the proceeds from this run are donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Singapore . A grand total of SGD 50,000 was raised from the Run! These funds will be used to fulfil the wishes and dreams of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The 5KM Charity Run flagged off at 0715hrs, and it was pretty hard to wake up so early to get to the venue on time for the race. It's all thanks to my Baby's help, so we reached there about 20 minutes earlier before the race began.  The race route was pretty straightforward, and it made the runners traverse the areas of Gardens by the Bay, Marina Barrage and Marina Bay Sands.

[New Zealand] Exploring Auckland City

After staying in Auckland for 5 nights, it was time to bid goodbye to our apartment which was located at Victoria Street, downtown Auckland in order to proceed to other places on the North Island of New Zealand.     Check out the awesome sunrise view from my apartment! Doesn't it give a brand new day that extra edge and shine?   This is a favorite snack of mine! Corn Chips with Salsa, The skim milk in NZ was amazingly fresh, and I had multiple servings of it throughout my travels in the morning!   After our home-cooked brekkie, Baby drove us to One Tree Hill for some sightseeing, as well as photo opportunities.     I took many random photos, and we love the calming effect of the peaceful, greenery and tranquil environment.
