AIA Electric Run Hong Kong 2014

After taking pictures with my paternal grandparents at the Graduation Carnival, I had to quickly get ready for the AIA Electric Run Hong Kong 2014. It took place at the New Central Harbourfront, which is super close to my university, but since I was stupid and forgetful, I'd actually left my running gear at home and had to make a detour back through the heavy traffic to fetch my stuff. Because of this, I missed dinner with my friends and had to quickly shove a bowl of rice down my throat when I got home and consequentially ended up being super late for the event.

Which, let me tell you, actually didn't matter in the end.

Because the event itself was so stupid =.= I'm sorry for the harsh words, but I honestly felt it was overrated and it completely did not live up to the hype. Not to mention, it was pricey too. The run was advertised as a 5km track but we were all pretty sure the grounds did not even total 1km. All they offered us in the included package was a tshirt and a cheap rubber ring (which flashed, woop-de-doop, big deal) - we even had to get glow sticks ourselves. We thought the closing party in the end would make up for the dopey inflated decorations around the 1km track but that too sucked. In our opinions at least. The music was shitty and repetitive and we had to rev up the excitement ourselves.

I actually saw some Instagram posts from other people raving on about how awesome the run was, so maybe it was just me and my friends? Then again, people tend to make things sound a lot better than they actually are, especially on Instagram, so I don't know. Here are the photos from the night anyway!
