7am at around 7km mark, downpour! Rain was forecasted, but not Downpour haha.
Together with my colleagues, we were participating in 10km NILA Run. This run is part of SEA Games community activities.
5.00am – Many runners from all over Singapore make their way to National Stadium. Considering MRT is not operating yet, and the huge (and confusing) road closures, most made it on time.
The SEA Games torch continues to burn day and night, even under the rain.
6.10am flag off, a sea of red.
7.15am – Finishers all drenched, but no one is complaining, no one gave up. We huddle in the tents, finish our 100plus and wait for the rain to subside.
Only the super fast guys (10km under 40min) would remain dry, my kakis are all soaked haha 🙂
But you guys rock!
My second 10km run in 2015, happy with my achievement (1hr 10 min), but timing can improve further. Discover a scenic and green route behind Marina Bay Golf Course (at 3 to 5km markers).
Even when we walk back to our transport, the sky is still gloomy. Pity the 42km marathoners, they will be in a worse state than us.
To encourage more families to enjoy sports, the 28th SEA Games Carnival will provide fun activities and creative sports try-out for everyone from 31 May – 16 June.
We popped by the Singapore SportsHub last Sat and Sun, as one day is not enough 🙂
To get into the SEA Games mood, our boys got Nila hairstyles too!
From 31 May to 16 June, the SEA Games Carnival will be welcoming all junior sportsmen and sportswomen.
We are confident families will enjoy Sea Games Carnival as much as us. Here is our kids’ list of their favourite activities :
– NineBot
– Laser Tag
– Zorb Bowling
Ninebot was Fun, after we got our balance. Kids seem to master Ninebot faster than adults. Expect long queue as Ninebot is addictive.
Video : Check out our Boxing (more sparks than Pacman Mayweather match) and Ninebot video (feels like Mall Cop)
Laser Tag is not only for boys, just ask Boon Xin. Although she could not aim straight, our girl had fun running the course and sometimes shooting her own “team mates” 🙂
Kids are serious about eliminating their enemies!
Human guinea pig, or is it Human washing machine? Either way, Zorb Bowling is super Fun!
Just roll inside the Zorb and push the pins down. Losing your balance and somersaulting within is part of the Fun. Laughter (from participants and parents) guaranteed!
Another event which amused parents Dads would be boxing. Boon Yee eagerly waiting to enter the ring.
Boxing gif shows the comical side of boxing, Brothers settle their disputes with enlarged gloves.
Nila mascots are everywhere. Kids had fun posing with their favourite sports.
During rest times, kids can indulge in some cosmetic and tattoo fun, or simply draw their own SEA Games Torch.
Bouncing castle, Giant Slide (10m tall!), and Flying Dunk (the hoop is only 5m tall!),
there is something for everyone.
Keep walking on (corn-starched) water, or you will sink. Kids needed no excuse to get their toes wet.
Perhaps, some might prefer sprinting?
From 9 to 12 June, send your boys and girls to do the 80-metre dash at the National Stadium Promenade where the fastest runner of the day wins a prize! 🙂

More Sea Games Carnival activities spotted, we could not finish every game on one day. Popular games will need to queue up to 30 minutes.
Doodle and tribute to LKY.
Stage performance, kids can dance, family participation or enjoy live band performances.
Carnival costumes and performances to wow the kids.
Do look out for fringe activities and roving performers throughout the day.
If your kids love sports, the SEA Games Carnival at the Singapore SportsHub will be ideal to entertain the kids this June Holidays.
