Hell Run

Yesterday i embark on a 'Hell Run'. Its not so much of the distance but rather the journey and conditions i have to endure. Decided to run as i havent run in a while and fasting month is coming which means i wont be able to run. Or maybe not.
Anywae, i planned to run to Pasir Ris and back but dunno why as i was running, i decided to turn into Old Tampines Road (OTR) to run to SRJC. It was about 10 pm. Btw, for those who doesnt know, OTR is this ulu road which is dimly litted. The beginning of the road housed a chinese temple and some cofeeshop. After that theres the back of Paya Lebar Airbase. As u move deeper inside, theres practically no sign of human being except ocassional bus, lorries and cars that zoomed past.

As i started running, it was ok at first. But soon it does get a bt creepy. My hair stands on its own. Soon it was like me on my own. I know that when i embark on this run, theres no backing out. So i just jog and jog at double quick time. Theres the occasional glance to the back to see vehicles at the back. But i was worried i might see sumthing else when i turn. There was this lorry that horned at me as i was running at the road shoulder. Think it nearly hit me. Some parts of OTR doesnt even have walkways.

Soon i maange to get out of OTR. What a relief. But the run is far from over. Infact,more creep awaits. I have to run past a long stretch of road. I decided to run on the right side as theres this foreign workers bunk. It was great to see fellow HUMAN BEINGS. lol. Most of them were outside their bunk on their hp. I guess they were calling back their home. Soon i was back to square one. With no one around. I mean totally no one. i just ran and ran though tiredness begins to sink in. Then i saw a dog. Im scared of dogs. And to make things worse, the dog howled when it saw me. And i mean HOWL not bark. You noe what theys ay when dogs howl. I quickly cross over to the other side of the road and quicken my pace. But feeling tired by now though the adrenaline rush keeps me going.

As i pass 1, 2 and more bus stops, i saw builldings. Yay, finally im going to finish. i finish my run near the mosque. Just 1 bus stop away from SRJC. Felt quite satisfying. Like finishing the Amazing Race. I wouldnt want run that route aalone at night again. Think can ask Harish next tme. Sergi dont run. He's happy enough.

Oh yah, i bought a brazilian praia from NUM. Quite ex. Hope its comfy.
