Note: When I penned the below post last night, it was without the knowledge that the organiser of the SCMS had actually asked runners who failed to meet certain unspecified time at unannounced designated points, to be diverted to run a "shorter route". Since the publication of my post and following media queries,  the organiser has made a public announcement on this here . I would therefore like to offer my sincere apologies to the individuals who were included in the post below for any embarrassment that I have caused to them. While I have decided to keep the post, I have deleted the photos and any references to the identity of the individuals. I know no apologies or words can right whatever that has been done but once again I would like to tender my apology.

Been hearing a lot about Chia Seeds. No I have not read Christopher McDougall's Born to Run  yet but have heard enough talk about Chia Seeds. A quick search on the web and was bowed over by its so called health benefits . After several futile search, finally managed to find it.  Haven't yet open it cause I have found an alternative. And it is this little pack of Basil Seeds , a native plant of Asia. Most of us older folks will remember that it is commonly used in Bandung drink, a local rose syrub and condensed milk drink. The Muslim in the region also add it liberally to their drinks during the fasting month.
