I'm a cyclist, I make no apologies for it, although sometimes in Singapore, I often feel I need to. When your average Singaporean finds out I ride a bike on the main road, they cry "whoaaah dangerous lah!" But is it really that dangerous? The last government statistics show that 17...

The Teh Tarik Run, I believe is the first of its kind in the world and I was part of it today. The run took place at East Coast Park (near the seafood center). My boyfriend and I arrived at the race venue at 6.45 am as instructed in...

Let your heart set the pace - I love this slogan. This is my third time running 2XU half marathon and also the most crowded one. Just for 21.1KM category alone, there were 6042 women and 12357 men. So that add up to a total of 18399 runners! There were...
