nus hills run

MONTAG, 27. NOVEMBER 2006

rainy. 8.86 km

it was raining heavily as leggie called me up on the phone. should we or shouldn't we run? i told her that maybe nus area wouldn't be raining that heavily. so i went ahead to clementi mrt to meet tktan. gee... the traffic towards clementi was packed. tktan and i waited for sometimes before shortlegs and mun finally arrived in clementi after a slight delay. we drove to nus guild house and shuthelup, doraemon and ??? already waiting for us.

after a short announcement about the route that we were supposed to run, doraemon led the way. boy, it was wet and hilly. running on the road wasn't my thing unless the road was officially closed due to certain running event. anyway, as we reached haw par villa, doraemon told me that this was the first slope to climb up to. whew, that was not easy. luckily for us the guard there told us that the end (whatever end) was closed. so we had to return back down on this 'slippery' road.

then came the '99 bends' cos the road curves a lot. yeah, really a lot. the worse thing was that vigilante road was just around the corner, waiting for us. damn. going up that hill was murderous and i believed that mun would 'kill' doraemon for 'forcing' him up that way. anyway, i love that stretch though - finally hilly area to run cos my place back home is totally flat!


had a 'pee' stop at one of the building and our run was occasionally paused as we were waiting for mun and at the same time doraemon explaining the about area, like where sotong works, or reuters (did i hear correctly) has the nicest building in that area.

we finally finished our run after 8.86 km (according to my gf 305) and headed to clementi road to eat roti john chicken cheese. by the way, the cheese cake was heaven.

here are the photos for you :
