God has been very nice to me. I always make friends with good people in different communities such as school, college, trekking, running, office, internet marketing, courses, seminars, conference and so on.
The Sundown marathon is over but it promotes friendship among a few friends. I registered the run because of a trekking friend which becomes a very long distance runner, Alexis. She inspired me to take part in the event. She invited me to join her training with a group of runners to prepare for the run. During at least 20 km of the run, she constantly encouraged me to continue running.
From joining the weekend running group, I got to know Henry and Sifu Terence. Terence has been sharing a lot of useful tips for long distance training and he even lead us for weekly training despite his busy schedule. I was lucky enough to met him in Changi airport on the race day and hence able to learn a few more tips from him.
I learn a few things from the personal finance angle:
- Time is money. The earlier you book the flight, the cheaper is the fare.
- Time is money. I was not able to change my flight on the spot. I have to pay for another bran new ticket
- If you are happen need to buy an urgent flight ticket on the spot, you can ask the cashier to check in for you immediate as well so that you can beat the long Q.
- Don't assume. Make sure you read the e-ticket or boarding pass carefully as it will save you time or even money. E.g. I went to the budget airlines terminal and then only I realised that AIRASIA is not at the same place. Then I realised that it was printed on the ticket.
