Tiger Run @ Jaya One

As much as I had a dream in the Year of Tiger, it can't actually come true. :(

That's because instead of running in the event last Saturday, I was running the event. I was there by noon to setup the place with a large group of part-timers to ensure everything is taken care of.


By 3pm, all the cones surrounding Jaya One were placed to indicate the right lane for bloggers to run. After sorting out all the backdrop, logistic items and yada yada, we were ready to roll!

People started coming for registration and as usual, we have people opting to be best dressed in the event in this case, Alice in the Wonderland showed up.


Koyuki came too with Cheesie!


Then, when the run was about to start, I had the chance to play with a new haler we bought just for this event. XD Speaking out loud is a nice thing to do. The whistle is very annoying too.


For this event, we've got Kevin Chong from the ntv7 Breakfast Crew fame to host for us. Flamboyant, funny and cute in his ways, he definitely pulled the crowd. ;)

Once everyone was briefed on how the run will take place, they're all set and gathered at the front of Headquarters Bistro for the start of the run.


Kevin gave the start point and off the bloggers go, running towards their dreams upon the Year of the Tiger! NGAUM!


Wonder how Alice in the Wonderland gonna run with her 4 inch thick shoes. Hmmm.. Oh there she is... walking...


I kinda arranged and made the bloggers to do various things at 5 outlets that were graciously involved in the run. The first one was of course Headquarters Bistro where they had to tweet live during the #tigerrun. Somehow, I can't manage to find any pictures yet, but if I do, I'll post it up here.

The second task was to Grab a Tiger from a freaking cold icebox where all the Tiger Beer bootles were at the bottom of it at Royal Oak. Frost bite ensured.


Next up was Frontera where runners were given spicy chicken wings to consume. The level of spiciness were - Spicy, Very Spicy and Inferno!! Muahahahaha. Look at the faces of the bloggers.


Then, the bloggers are required to stop at Chulo for a Facebook task. They're to become a fan of Tiger Beer Facebook Fanpage and post a comment on it before leaving.


Last but not least, bloggers are to complete the run with a Tiger pose at the backdrop. NGAUM


After everyone has completed the run, we brought out a very special dance -


A TIGER DANCE!! Damn nice, okay?


Totally different from lion dance, cause tiger dance is the in thing for the Year of Tiger! LOL.

After the performance, everyone was treated to a good satisfying meal along with free flow of Tiger Beer at Bar Madrid. That was definitely the most sought after moment for everyone, especially the free flow part. LOL.

While the bloggers are busy satisfying their hunger, my team and I were busy preparing the results of the run and the various consolation prizes. So after scratching our heads here and there, we finally have our winners for the run!!


These 3 bloggers will have their dreams granted soon! One of them wants to cycle all over Taiwan island for 1 month, one of them wants to run a marathon in Europe while the other wants new braces! They are all gonna get them in the Year of Tiger thanks to Tiger Beer!! Wootz!

Many thanks to all the sponsors, Tiger Beer in particular for making this event possible, Jaya One as the official venue, P1WIMAX for providing the wireless service, Bar Madrid, Headquarters Bistro, Royal Oak, Frontera and Chulo! Not to mention the Nuffies who worked really hard to ensure the event is a success, thank you!! Now here's our tiger poses!


Last but not least, let's have an ang moh picture who also happens to be the official photographer for the event to reinforce the key message for everyone who went for the Tiger Run.


Loves Tiger
