SHAPE Run 2006 (Part II)

Upon collecting our goodie bags (contents of which I will reveal later ... hehe), we bade our goodbyes and a couple of us (Roentgen, Shut, Junie, nemo, cfred, cosmic, teelee, charmane, tiwazz, alvo & meteor) headed to Suntec for some retail therapy. First stop was at NIKE B.I.R.D. Roentgen & Nemo found something for themselves, but none of the rest caught anything we like. Had a pretty lousy experience with the sales stuff in NIKE B.I.R.D. Totally unfriendly and unwilling to help. Asked them to check for sizes/color and they basically just so reluctant to do it. Even had difficulty with the counter gal when I tried to place an order for Roentgen for his Nike singlets at Marina. Anyway, I don't wish to be reminded of the unhappiness so will just glaze over this, and not elaborate any further.
;P

Didn't find anything we like, not even at Adidas, so we decided to head back to Marina Square NIKE B.I.R.D. Nemo and Roentgen got their stuff there and the few of us (less tiwazz, alvo, meteor & cosmic) whiled away our time just loitering in Marina Square. Having tea break at Kiliney (Angel joined us there) and we chit chat for a bit ... We seemed so much like a bunch of young kids simply enjoying our life, not having a care in the world. Its interesting to see how we, people from different walks of life, of different age (some of us many generations apart!!!), chatting away happily, sharing our tots etc. We don't seem to have a huge generation gap! I even feel young just hanging out with some of these young folks. Even get to understand how they feel, how they view certain issues and even learnt some youngster-speak (AA = Attract Attention).

We then headed to Running Lab so that Teelee could pick up his new shoes before the remaining 6 of us (Roentgen, Junie, Nemo, Charme, Teelee and myself) drove to East Coast Park Food Centre to tuck into the yummilicious wanton noodle. The gluttons in us also ordered stingray, BBQ chicken wing, rojak, tau pok & fried carrot cake. The food was good, but most importantly, the company makes the whole dinner experience must more enjoyable!

The group finally dispersed by 9 and Teelee once again was angelic enough to send the HSP folks home.

Got home and took some pics of the SHAPE run goodie bag. Wow! They really packed A LOT of goodies into one compact bag! Well done!! The guys are sooooooooo jealous that we got so many things from a $15 run. hehehehe .... The men dun get it .. :P
