My Bucket List

  After 6 months of dedication, mental struggle and finding time to squeeze in trainings, the moment I crossed the finish line, I couldn’t be any happier that finally mission complete! Why did I run a marathon in the first place? It’s #14 of my bucket list. Plus I wanted to lose weight and cardio is the way to go!

We rode a bus from Singapore Flyer then crossing the Singapore-Malaysia border and reaching Johor Bahru where Legoland Malaysia is located. In Legoland, we were given stamp cards to complete in order to win prizes (Grand Prize was an overnight stay at the Lego Hotel). For the sake of the stamps, we braved ourselves into riding all rides even the crazy wet ones! We also did the Dr.…
