Unreal! Even the cars are afraid...

Ever went for a long run only to find lots of flatulence thereafter? Or worse, a strong urge to visit the toilet...

The New Balance real run 2007 had just ended and this puts one more race this year being held in the East (and so to the dismay of my people living in the west but to the joy for those in the east). It's so given the usual centralised Realrun event venue (gateway carpark in Sentosa) being...
