omg. tired.

we wore the fugly bumblebee shirts and carried barricades, put up sign boards. wearing white shoes was the first mistake; the rains just made all the soil turn into mud. we ate at the gluttons bay late at night. i only slept for only one hour, and from 4am onwards i was standing on the road holding a placard.

it was just swarming with people. luckily kahchun was beside me, otherwise i would be overwhelmed. it was an interesting few hours of speaking to people of all accents, trying different ways of describing the route to baggage deposit and the flag-off point.

i also saw many familiar faces. all the BMT people! bed buddy joosiong! i guess at next year's marathon i'll see them again.

it had been raining and raining. drizzling, then pouring. and then i recalled, as i was standing near victoria concert hall, the new year's countdown of 2006. the midnight on which boonping and i made a resolution.

anyway, i caught a glimpse of the fireworks show last night. caught the finale.
