NTUC Income Eco Run 2017

My first NTUC run was way back in 2014. The race experience back then was a good one afterall. 

But because it always clash or if not too near to other races, hence I gave it a miss all these years. 

Taking it as giving my legs a break!

What makes me decide to join this year's Income Eco run was the generous discount code and I only signed up at the very last hour before the registration closes haha! #cheapthrill indeed. 

What's in the goodie bag. 

Love the recycle bag though because it looks trendy and the quality is good too.

On race day, we were slightly late so we missed the flag off timing by a little. Can totally tell that the flag off was on the dot. No delay at all.

Quickly brisk walk to reach the starting line before we start the run. 

And we are done :)

:)

Definitely not one of those run where a PB was achieved but nevertheless it was an enjoyable run. 

And since it was cheap, so there's no reason not to take part. We took it as a Sunday morning workout with splendid view rather than a race.

Some of the running shots capture by the various photographers..

Almost nearing the ending point where most of the camera man were. Too bad Derp was not looking at the camera haha.

We were posing when we were far away hence it was quite a blurry shot. Would love this picture but it's not focus on us though :( I'm hoping we will get nicer shots in the upcoming races before 2017 ends!

Anyway, I'll definitely be keeping NTUC Income Eco run in my bucket list because of it's affordable rates. I'm secretly hoping it won't clash with other major races because that it will be a pity to give this race a miss :)

High Tea @ Saveur Art (Ion Orchard)

I met up with Li Hua few months ago for a advance birthday celebration for her. I guess the last time we met was on the last few days of 2016 though. 

Glad that we are still catching up with one another all these years and with her witnessing the different milestones of my life. Totally blessed! 

We decide to try something different this time round so we went for high tea. 

I've heard of Saveur Art for quite sometime and the high tea set they offer seems to be reasonably priced at. They are located at Orchard Ion which is accessible and easily located. 

There weren't much people on a weekend afternoon though. 

I did make a reservation prior to my visit  just in case there was not enough seats. Afterall, the whole place could not contain that much diners at a go. Probably a maximum of 30++ guests.

The beverage menu where by we can choose our drinks from (included in the high tea set for 2) 

This are the items that are included in the high tea set for 2

I do find they offer quite a variety of food for this high tea set which costs $32.90++

Our Coffee to go with the high tea.

Pretty and huge high tea set

Li Hua and the high tea set :)

She look so small next to it haha! 

Me with the high tea set :)

A photo of us before we dig in. Friends for more than a decade :)

Anyway. the high tea was so filling! I remember I didn't ate my lunch that day so it was my late 'lunch' instead of high tea. 

Both of us can't finish every item on the tiered stand though. Very value for money because it seems to be our lunch instead of high tea haha! I only had something light for breakfast though and this high tea 'make up' for it.

I will highly recommend those who wish to go for budget friendly high tea session to try the high tea @ Saveur Art. But just a friendly reminder, do go there on an empty stomach :)
