Booked and Ready for SCMS 2011

For someone like me who's been getting a few years of hardships obtaining a Passport due to incorrectly spelt family name on birth certificate (read the story here), this moment of finally having these legal documents after three decades is really an amazingly great day!

Having not able to run the Singapore 2XU Run last April 10, 2011 was such a big dismay for me. But now that I'm already armed with complete legal documents, I will be able to make an out-of-Country races anytime I want.

So on December 4, 2011, I will be running my second (or third full Marathon following my 1st 50K Ultramarathon run) full Marathon after more than a year from my debut Marathon. I thought this year will end without me participating another full 42.195km race distance.

A week after the passport have arrived, I was able to book for my Air transport, and just yesterday, my accommodation for Singapore was also seamlessly booked ONLINE via ROOMORAMA.

I'll be staying at a cozy apartment yet less expensive vacation room which is just 10 minutes away from the starting line at Orchard road via MRT or Taxi. From the property description, the apartment is "unusually spacious and hidden in the Central of Singapore where you will still hear the bird chirping in the morning." It is situated on the Braddell Hill, near the Mount Ritchie Reservoir, and also has full club facilities like swimming pools gym, tennis court, game rooms, indoor canteen and outdoor cafe, etc. Thus, after the race, the swimming pool will be my resting ground for a few hours before packing up.

So how was I able to find this place where I would stay at? Find out from my next post: Booking Your Accommodation at Roomorama
