Early this morning at 6:30am, he already woke up to sms Roentgen about the hints about where he placed the present. The sms he sent started asking Roentgen to participate in the "Chway Boh" CD game. Five questions were asked namely:
1) Who is the fastest runner in HSP ?
To which R replied "starbucks, tea leaves ... oh! teelee!" - hahahahaha HILARIOUS!
2) KJ is the _____ of Hougang
3) What is the event that happened on 2 Jul?
4) What is the alter ego of Nemo ?
Smart Roentgen answered each of these dutifully and correctly and he was then asked to piece the answers to find the location of his pressie. I'll let you read more about this in his own blog here.
At 8am, I received a phone call that the radio dedication for Roentgen will be read out in 10mins. I was on my way to work and hence was not able to listen to it on air. But Nemo taped it down and sent the clip to several of us. This was all thanks to Andy for using his connections to get the dedication read out on air! Roentgen was very pleasantly surprised! :)
Another success!
Later in the day we had our usual CBD Run. Wow, the turn out was record breaking! We have about 31 runners in all with many new faces brought in by puayhien. After lots of BD wishes and handshakes with the two BD boys (yes, 2! Roentgen and Ironmandreamer-my fav ultra hunk!) we finally pushed off for our Marina South run to jetty and back. I decided to go for the full 9+km although my shin was feeling a little strained and at the return leg I had the honour of running with several hunks. Initially we were running in a group with Roentgen, teelee, me, shut and charmane. Eventually shut and charmane picked up speed and aichai followed, asking teelee & Roentgen to stay behind to keep me company. So there we were, the 3 of us slowly trotting along, I have to thank Roentgen & teelee for slowing down just to accomodate my pace. Thanks guys!!!! At one point Roentgen saw that I was struggling and forced me to stop for a walk. Shortly after we returned to our jog, IMD passed us by. He had already done one loop and was doing his second when he caught up with us. IMD overtook us but i guessed being the nice guy that he was, he changed his mind few meters later and turned back to jog with us, chatting with us along the way. This was the very FIRST time that we had such a LONG conversation with IMD! Wow! What a treat! Me felt so happy being able to run with the 2 birthday boys and with the cool dude teelee tonight! Hooray!
Upon returning, cool down, it was then the actual birthday bash at Tanjong Pagar! Among us we had a total of 3 cakes, several bottles of 100+ and coke, egg tarts & pancakes. After singing IMD and Roentgen the BD song, we eagerly tucked in to the sinful food. There were lots of yakking, laughter and photo taking! It was indeed a fun nite.
We later proceeded to Maxwell market for more makan and with the record breaking turnout, we all filled up 5 tables at Maxwell! Amazing isn't it! *clap clap*With our stomachs filled, and satisfied, we all headed home for our well deserved rest. We chit chatted along the way back to the carpark before we say our good nites and rest well before heading home.
I'm sure everyone enjoyed the run as much as I had! Such an enjoyable day! and here's wishing Roentgen & IMD again the very best in the new year. Many happy returns and may all their dreams come true! Great people beget great things so I have no doubt they will have many more good tidings to come! *thumbs up*

It was truly a special day for both imd and me :) All of us probably created quite a ruckus in CBD with all the laughter and feasting :P Hopefully, we don't get banned from using that area as our start / end point!
Here's to more wonderful CBD runs :D
nevermind, if we get into any "trouble" I am sure our another super-power with the name starting with "a" and ending with "ai" will be able to help us get the necessary permit with the relevant connections hehehe :P
