Singapore Visit
pierreo April 4th, 2010
After Laos (I will cover that trip later), I spent 10 days in Singapore. I realized as I was there that this is the first time that I am visiting Singapore – all my other stays were either on business, or because I was living there. For the first time, I was a tourist, and I acted like one…
On the Saturday, I was lucky to be able to attend the EM Dragon Boat Carnival, an annual affair that has been growing each event. There were over 80 teams entered this year.
From the start
To the finish
All teams worked really hard to do the best they could.
For me, this was an opportunity to see a lot of my friends and I spent most of the time walking around from one team to another reminiscing… The weather was not very good that day. As a matter of fact, it rained most of the time. I decided to leave after the inter-site race, which was fortunately scheduled early this year. Chemical won again, proving that last year was no fluke!
On the Sunday, things were more serious for me. The main reason for this whole trip was the Aviva ½ Ironman to be held once again on the East Coast. For Richard and I, this would be our fourth participation – Dave had done the last two with us and therefore he will be doing his third. I left the hotel very early (around 5 AM) as I was awake anyway.
