What I Like About Runs..

I've been accompanying people to runs for a while now..By that, i mean they run, i watch..Some people might find it bo-liao..but i dun mind it a bit, in fact i rather enjoy doing so..for the following reasons:

• Catching sunrise - Most runs start in the city area, which usually gives a good chance of watching the orange orb climbing up to start the day..caught a rather pretty glimpse today :)


• People-watch - To say that seeing (toned)people in sportswear, drenched in perspiration turns me on, may be a little far-fetched..but I do like to watch sports participation(occupational hazard..?) and runs are the perfect opportunity to do so..


• Breakfast - It's usually quite difficult to drag friends out for breakfast(esp on a weekend), but runs are a convenient way to 'con' them out.And i get to indulge in my teh-siew-dai without worrying that i'll get too hyper :Þ

****** After the 300++ Run today, we went to Amoy St for breakfast. There's this famous lor mee there which i wanted to eat since my brief visit to the hawker centre couple of weeks ago. I reckon, it's early morning..on a sunday..at shenton way..and lor mee is not a typical breakfast item..shouldn't be that much of a crowd right? I was totally WRONG.

At 930am on an ordinary sunday(not PH, not sch hol), there was a line of some 20 pax in front of the stall! Where did these people come from?? It's Amoy St, not exactly a heavily populated residential area...people staying in the swanky serviced apartments nearby will not come and eat lor mee right(purely my assumption)

Anyway, i joined the queue(not much of a choice, since it was the selling point that i used to convince someone). A quick glance around the surrounding tables showed that 90% of the occupied tables had at least 1 red bowl(used by the stall). And i realised nobody in the queue was just buying one bowl, everyone was buying at least 3, 4 bowls..with others da-baoing 7 packs(really!) But to their credit, the line was moving at a decent speed..And the queue never fell < 15 pax deep in my 1 hour there..in fact, i think it grew longer as it got later..

A bowl of lor mee, 1/4 of a oyster-less oystercake, 4 carrot cake fries, a teh-siew-dai, a few sips of an 'artistic' bubble tea..what more can i ask of a sunday breakfast?
