Michaelian Run 2013

12th January 2013
Went back to my Alma Mater with my group of friends. Not some random visit but to participate the yearly Michaelian Run. Participated in the Old Boys Category together with Alson, Kino, Yik Ken and a few old Michaelians we met. Oh well, the route is always the same route I used to run back in my days when I was in Form1 till Upper6, it will never change. Haha. Felt so great to be back at school and be part of the school's event.
Well, I can consider this as an achievement because I managed to get 2nd placing for the Old Boys Category. I'm still able to catch up with the Champion all along the route until he sprinted far ahead of me when it is almost the end of the route. Lols. Everyone manage to get a medal because not many Old Boys were there for the Old Boys Category.

We took some pictures around our Alma Mater after the event and before we went to have our breakfast/desserts. 
Credits to Hudson Beh to be our camera man. HAHA!
Headed to Nam Heong to have our breakfast. Nothing will be more suitable than a good cup of Ipoh's original "Kopi Ais" and the delicious Ipoh delicacy here such as "Kai Si Hor Fun", "Lim Fung Char Kuey Teow" and so on.

 After having our breakfast at Nam Heong, we decided to go to Blackball Desserts. First time having Blackball here in Ipoh, had it once before in Penang's Queensbay Mall. Ordered the dessert with the soya flavor, forgotten what it was called but I was being told that it was the best seller. Alson ordered the same as mine, sharing it with his younger brother while Yik Ken and Kino both ordered the Bubble Milk Tea.

Another thing that caught my attention was the UFO Beeper. It will ring to notify customer to pick up their order. We can sit back and relax while waiting for our order to be ready instead of standing in the collecting counter like any other desserts shop.

Oh well, it was great to catch up with old friends and know what's they are up to all these while. Good to know that they doing well in their respective universities or work place.
