Wooww!! Just Wow!!!! I can’t believe that I have signed up for this event and I know it’s gonna be epic for sure!! Just imagine this …. The registration was just opened yesterday (Monday) and the slots were all gone in less than 24 hours or maybe even less than 12 hours. I remember signing up and there were 3 waves/categories left to choose and I opted for the 2pm to 4pm slot. My friend Rizan was lucky enough to grab the 9th Wave which will be some time in the evening. I should have signed up by midnight *lol* and I ended up signing in the morning and I took for granted that it won’t be this frenzy as I thought it would be. Just simply amazing that it was sold out!!!
From the press release by the organiser, Celebrity Trainer, it promises to thrill both athletes and zombie fans and it is the first of its kind – Race the Dead 2013, Singapore’s Zombie Obstacle Race. This will take place on the Halloween weekend on the 26th October 2013 at Sentosa and there will be 100 zombies haunting the runners and be obstacles and challenges for them.
So here goes on how you will be declared a survivor. They will begin the race after being briefed by “military personnel” on their route of evacuation towards their last safe haven – The Fort.
Tagged with 2 red flags simulating their “lives”, runners will be dispatched in waves. The objective is to reach the finish line with at least one flag left to qualify for a place in the infection-free zone.
A “Decontamination Area” will also be situated along the half-way mark of the race to allow runners with only 1 flag left to replenish a health flag in the green zone. Of course, there will be a time extension penalty!
Upon reaching the finish line, runners will be quarantined by military personnel to determine if they are truly “infection free”. Top 3 runners will be awarded cash and prizes. The rest, with at least 1 red flag left at the end, will also be given a Survivor Tee-Shirt to certify that they have survived!
This is one of the marketing gimmick from racethedead.com.sg and I’m glad that I’m one of the selected survivors for this race
The actual route for the Zombie obstacle race 😀
And as part of a social cause, Race The Dead 2013 aims to raise sufficient funds to purchase shoes for one whole school of children (a total of 500 pairs of shoes). Soule is a footwear social enterprise that gives one pair of shoes to a less fortunate child for each pair of shoes bought. For more background information, visit: www.soule.com.sg
The event is organised by Celebrity Trainer (Singapore’s Online Lifestyle Classifieds), partnered by Sentosa, 987 FM and sponsored by Polar Electro, X-Mini and Banana Boat. You can check out www.racethedead.sg for details. For now, I can’t wait for the actual event and maybe even do some training 😀
I’m a big fan of The Walking Dead and also zombie movies
Another summer movie to catch starring Brad Pitt in a zombie movie.. Should be good. 80% so far on Rottentomatoes.

Say no to sharks!! It’s more of the context of consuming shark products and this is pretty common especially when we dine in at chinese restaurants or wedding dinners. I support this move by the Brunei Government in banning on shark products and this also includes banning of supplements or medication that has content of shark products.
The Minister of Industry and Primary Resources said that the ban will come into effect by January 2014. This will allow the vendors and retailers to clear their remaining stock before the ban is enforced. Such move can create an awareness to the public that sharks are endangered species and so much cruelty can be seen on how sharks are being treated.
I did also mention of supplements and medicines as some of them contain shark cartilage and bones too. Omega 3 supplement is just one of them medicines.
The announcement was made by the Minister at the launch of “Celebrate the Sea Festival 2013” in conjunction with World Oceans Day. Kudos to the Ministry for making this possible and also to the vendors for complying to the new laws. I’m not sure if Brunei will be the first country regionally to ban shark products. Hmmmm..

Let’s save the endangered species 😀
Introducing Renzze, Deenise Glitz, Tiffany Yong, Andy Storm and Malcolm Sunny, the Singapore bloggers who were in the Sultanate a few weeks ago
Now I’m back in business. Paperworks, blog updates, meetings and of course, my bed 😀 Anyway, let me start by first posting a story of my new found friends from Singapore who were sponsored by Royal Brunei for their 4 day visit to the Brunei. I can tell you that they seem to cover places that even some of us hardly been to or know of. Well, at least I know I have experienced the canopy walk at Ulu-Ulu Temburong a few weeks ago and that’s a good experience.
It’s good to know that Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) is taking this initiative to invite bloggers from other countries and this is one of the step of creating awareness not just RB but also Brunei as a country. It’s pretty interesting to know what they actually learn about Brunei and this could be something that we Bruneians take for granted just because we are living in this country.
There were 5 bloggers from Singapore and one representative from OMY (Singapore) and they were welcomed by Muaz from RB and Tom from Sunshine Borneo. One of the nights the local socmeds were introduced over dinner and it was a great evening too. Thank @emmagoodegg for hosting us and I love the food 😀
Do check out their blog posts and they will be writing more about their experiences in Brunei and I do hope RB will invite other regional bloggers to come to the Sultanate 😀 Thank you Deenise Glitz, Andy Storm, Tiffany Yong, Renzze and Malcolm Sunny for your blog posts and I know Tiffany had dreams about Brunei so mean to say you really miss Brunei, right? :p
Below are some of the pictures and yes, I stole some from you guys if you don’t mind 😀
