Standard Chartered Marathon Registration and a debate to remember

Today there was school as usual. But the highlight of the day was the debate during english period. I was on the team participating the debate today. Of course i knewthat it would be exciting.

The topic was " national service should be made compulsory for everyone, inclusive of women." Do you agree?

I was in the proposition with Joel, liming and nicholas. How to go against the opposition? I think they had the easier task. Joel and i were able to rebuttle point for point. I became the best speaker for the debate and surprisingly our team won! Out of a posssible 60 marks I scored 55. Thank you Mrs Ng!

Wouldn't it be good if girls could do N.S.? It would make our lives much easier but i think it is just wishful thinking...






Today was the event launch of the singapore standard chartered marathon at Raffles Place. It is exactly 131 days to the event. At the event launch 500 goodie bags were given out for sign -ups. So i signed up for the 10k. Well this is the only race i can run. To run the half marathon i must be 17. To run the full marathon i must be 18...



Even my sister liked the recyclable bag. Looks better than the one many people wanted to buy in Hong Kong and created a stampede for ( the one marked i am not a plastic bag from anya hindmarch) ... And now the singapore outlet will not be selling it... Why the hooha over a bag??





In my goodie bag there was



1. recyclable bag



2. sports water bottle



3. bottle of glucosaimine tablets from Nature's Way



4. berocca sample



5. can of 100 plus



6. muscle deep heating rub (3 pieces)



7.Standard Chartered marathon Note pad and post it stickers





I am looking forward to run in this marathon. It is first class ( world class) !!!
