2XU Compression Run 2016

2XU Compression Run was the first official run for Derp and I in 2016. The running singlet this year was white in color (instead of the usual black), we still went ahead to register for it even though we pretty much prefer the black though. 

I remembered clearly the race pack collection in 2015 was poorly organized as the race pack collection event site was too small to handle the huge crowd. The queue went all the way out of the shopping mall. I'm glad that the race pack collection this time round was smooth and well organized. 

Many volunteers on duty 

No queue! 

We collected our race pack within 5 mins upon reaching. *thumbs up*

Saw this display at the race. But again is there really a need for this? haha! But it look really cool afterall.

Not much goodies in the bag. The waist pouch is this year free gift. In 2015, it was a shoe bag.

On race day itself, we were actually late. Opps! Didn't expect them to flag off everyone without much waves but perhaps there wasn't that much people who join this year race as compared to the last. 

Good weather that morning :) 

Some pics before running,,

We were chased to quickly start the race as they do not allow people to run their category if they were late more than 15 mins from the flag off time. Didn't see that coming because most races usually allow runner to be late up to 30 mins from flag off time.

More pictures taken during the run..

Derp took this pic of me lol. Very random of him though to start taking pictures during races 

Us after the run! 

Yay to the first 10km of the year! No PB but glad that we shaved off 5 mins from 2015 's 2XU run! 

Oh well at least we improved and enjoy the process :)

Pics from the official photographer. This is something new as I don't remember they had it in 2015.

Love this pic by Running Shot

Compared it with the one taken by Running Shot too in 2015 haha. Glad that we still look like us after a year. No much major change I guess? 

2017 2XU Run registration has already opened for registration. They are bringing in back the black theme singlet/shirt (with rose gold strips) for this coming year run. Gonna sign up soon! Looking forward :)

Brunch @ Oh My Tian Cafe

First post in August and pardon for the lack of updates due to the Pokemongo craze haha! This post was meant to be up last weekend but due to the launch of Pokemongo, most of my time was spent on that game. 

Taking a break now after a week of intense playing to update this little space of min :) Yay to checking off another cafe from the bucket list and this time round, it's Oh My Tian Cafe @ Kovan area.

I've been wanting to visit this cafe because it's so near to home (located along the purple line) and the interior of the cafe definitely attracts me to visit this cafe at least once.

Love this design and the best part is the cafe is located below a HDB. Love neigbourhood cafe like such because it gives me a more cosy and homely feeling.

The counter for ordering your food 

There's no service charge (only 7% gst) for dining in here and that explains why you have to go up to the counter personally to order your food.

This piece of painted wall is really pretty. Totally instagram friendly imo haha!

The iconic pretty carousel in the cafe. 

Best place to take #ootd/selfie/welfie but we were too shy to do so because it's occupied. Seems to me that there's always people there though.

Time to order our food after grabbing a seat..

The menu at the counter

Our drinks.

For once I'm not having caffine related drinks for brunch as this drink is highly recommended by the cafe staff too. Can't remember how much is per drink but I remember it's quite costly. I can't remember the flavour too lol.

A #welfie with my brunch date with the carousel at the background. It's better than nothing haha! 

Cookies and Cream Waffle Ice cream with Salted Caramel Sauce 

Our waffle ice cream came first so we have to eat it first even before our mains arrive. It was meant to be our dessert. Our bad for not asking them to prepare it later but we will have thought they should know it since we did order brunch from them.

But anyway, Oh My Tian Cafe is opened by the sisters behind Hatter Street so the waffle ice cream we had is from Hatter Street. My first time trying it and it has got to be one of the best waffle ice cream I've ever eat. If you are into belgium waffle (those crispy type, not fluffy ones), this is a must try.

OMT Big Breakfast - $15

Huge portion and we both ordered this set for our mains. It's totally value for $$ and taste yummy too!

#welfie with highness before we left this place.

#OOTD taken with the cafe as the backgound :)

The cafe is located near Boon Keng MRT station, probably a 5 minutes walk from the MRT station. This cafe is worth a visit due to it's yummy food, instagram worthy decoration and also the location is good! I've went back there for the 2nd time and will definitely go back there again in the near future :)
