Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2014 + [Imperial Treasure] Dim Sum lunch

Baby entered himself to the full marathon (42.195KM) for Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2014 , and it was his very first full marathon after taking part in various other shorter runs, such as the Army Half Marathon and other 10KM distances!  His run flagged off at Orchard Road (beside Mandarin Orchard Singapore) and ended at the Padang. The cut-off timing was 8hrs.   I went over the Padang to support him at the finishing point, and we had been texting each other throughout his marathon, so that I could have a clear update/estimate on when he would be crossing the finishing line. Amazingly, he didn't train at all yet managed to do a reasonable 6 hours and 13 minutes to complete his full marathon. He says he will never do it again, but I'm sure he will! I am so proud of my Baby for finishing his whole race within the time frame without much training before the race.

[Christmas Edition] Jess Baby's personal space

McDonald's recently came out with a series of classic character plush toys which consist of Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdie, Hambulgar and lastly Officer Big Mac. Hamburglar is a close friend of Ronald McDonald, Grimace and Birdie, even though his primary agenda is to steal the hamburgers and that explains his name, but oh well, he is still looked upon as a valued member of the McDonald-land community.    Hambulgar is the first character for this series, and Baby got it for me at SGD2.90 with any purchase at McDonald's. It is for a good cause as 10 cents from each plushie sold will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities Singapore It is definitely a classic collection that cannot be missed. Each character brings back many fond childhood memories. What a nostalgic feeling!! This Christmas, Marina Square Shopping Mall has transformed into a magical wonderland... There is a magical screen at Marina Square Christ...
