We called ourselves, Team 4-EVERSUKI !     Mizuno Ekiden  is a long distance relay race, and for this event, there were two categories of a 21.1KM run and a 42.195KM run for a group of 4 members.

Admission to the event was free, however some activities required payment. I was excited to see the dragon boat race!  I will definitely look forward to the next edition of the DBS Marina Regatta . Apart from the scorching hot weather, it was still an enjoyable experience.   Baby and I finally managed to find time to visit Hawker Chan's spacious restaurant at Smith Street which was officially opened last November. This is after-all, one of the cheapest price to pay for a Michelin Star Dining Experience! Do note that the original hawker stall in Chinatown Food Complex is the one with the actual award of the Michelin One-Star, and the S...
