I always enjoyed those major marathons race pack collection (REPC). They always held in fabulous places like Suntec City or Expo and it's very orgasnised, with lots of exhibition booths on sports stuffs, where I can go around to visit after collecting my race pack. Well, thank God I felt better with my injury and managed a 12KM run last Thursday without much problem. So, I guess I will be running my second Sundown Half-Marathon after all, without much expectations except to finish the race and get the medal. And, yes, I will have to sleep during the day before and after the race, on Sat and Sun cos I be 'doing night shift' on Saturday night/Sun wee morning...LOL. The good news is I will be on my mid-year leave after the run.

A nice screen advert to welcome the runners at Suntec City for the race pack collection |
|
Entrance to the exhibition hall and REPC. I was an early bird where I reached t here at 11+am on the first day. They opened at 11am. |
|
At the 21KM booths, not so crowded then! |
|
The short queue with lots of counters opened. I always collect my REPC on the first day to avoid the crowd, I only waited about 10 mins. |
|
Time to check out the exhibition booths |
|
More booths, I got myself two energy bars for the run |
|
Somehow, this year has lesser booths compared to last year and some prominent brands are missing, but I still enjoyed going around. |
After I am done with the REPC, I decided to go to Paparich in Suntec for lunch as I needed to rush to a meeting nearby. This is my first time in Singapore's Paparich, so I thought it's a good idea to check it out. The services was good and the ambience seems nice until more crowd pack the restaurant during lunch time. It's definitely more expensive there if we compared with the exchange rate with RM else, it's almost the same price but in S$.
|
My cuppa coffee, I think Malaysia's Paparich coffee is better though this one not too bad, |
|
And, a fried rice with fried chicken and egg for me. |
My meal cost me around S$22. And, will forward for my first night race in 2016 this Sat. I did enjoyed my last night run in 2015. Have a good week!
What? You only bought 2 energy bars?
ReplyDeleteSo little puchase!
Lol
Lol.. Enough la. I already got what I needed.
DeleteIt is good to visit such exhibitions to look see look see what they have and you have a satisfying meal after that
ReplyDeleteAll the best to your runs
Yeah , I love to check out the sports items at discounted rate.
DeleteLook forward to your post on the Sundown Half-Marathon after the run...
ReplyDeleteSure , will post after the run. :)
DeletePapparich coffee is good? Can't remember if I ever had that, gotta try next time.
ReplyDeleteSo many people, just waited for 10 minutes. That's very good. Guess that's Singapore for you, very efficient - not like here, lenggang lenggang kangkong one.
DeleteThe egg yolk not runny...and the chicken looked kinda pale. Wah! Got pappadum some more, nasi bryani ke? LOL!!!
DeleteMalaysia's paparich coffee seems better. Yeah , they opened all the counters and it's very fast! How I wish Malaysian ciq also like that .. Lol
DeleteThe set ok la , not too good and too bad.
I've never tried Paparich, maybe one day. Your meal if convert to RM can pengsan :D All the best for your run!
ReplyDeleteYalor!!! Over RM60!!! Maybe they have standard prices - RM22 here, SGD22 there...and Australia AUD22 too. Used to be like that at places like McD or KFC last time. RM6 in Malaysia, 6 pounds in the UK. Sure pengsan, if convert.
DeleteBut even if RM22 for that, I must say it is already too expensive. Never mind, people earning SGD, very the kaya. Hehehehehehe!!!!!
DeleteI think even in Malaysia , paparich is not cheap. And that's one reason I seldom patronize in JB ... Hahahah.. Though I love their kopi.
DeleteYou collected a race pack and posted so many photos. Nothing to share your goodies bag or pretty gals? Adoi.
ReplyDeleteI like going to PappaRich here too. Their coffee is good.
Yeah , forgot to take pix of the race pack but nothing la, just my singlet and bib number.
DeleteFried rice? What fried rice? I dont see any fried rice in the picture.
ReplyDeleteThis Papa is really rich hor?
Hahahha... All covered mah!
