22nd August : NIE Director's Race'08 + Post-relay run dinner.

The sky was overcast half an hour before the stipulated flag-off time and most of us believed the Director's Race would be called off at the last minute. Daniel, Marc and Michael attempted rain dances too and it did pour soon after, but the skies eventually cleared before the flag-off time of the relay race at 6.40pm.

Not to be boastful or anything, but I feel the six of us did a pretty good job in completing the race within 90 minutes. At least we weren't the last few of the GESL groups to finish the relay run...of course, Daniel's impressive timing of 9+ minutes helped lots. And in the first place, we still bothered to participate in the race even with rumours circulating around that there wouldn't be any prize money involved. Plus, there were no goodie bags for GESL runners too...>_<



That's Samuel, chiong-ing the final 50m of the relay run.

Team Sapphire runners!

Team Sapphire runners with the team manager, Wilson.
Naturally famished after the 2.4km run, Michael drove us (Ivan, Samuel, Shirley, Wilson and me) to Marina Square for a Japanese feast @ Waraku. Ruth joined us for dinner too!





p.s. Thanks Michael, for kindly offering to drive most of us home after dinner! =D
