Have you heard about Vertical Marathon? It takes place at Swissotel, which means climbing up the stairs all the way to the helipad which is 73 floors!! No kidding! And do you know the oldest man participated this year is 81 years old and he took only 28 minutes!! Wow!! Heard that his best record is about 13 minutes when he was younger. And the fastest person actually took about 6 - 7 minutes to reach the top!! WOW~~ 2 steps at one time, the same pace all the way to the top!

And I saw SPIDERMAN!!! Climbing up the stairs in FULL SUIT!!! Oh my god!! Stunned!!
While i am waiting, the strait times reporter came to my staircase to take photo. lol. Overheard that the spiderman took part before and throughout the whole competition, he remain in his full suit!! Can you imagine how hot he will be in that suit?! Even his face is covered!!!! OMG!!

I volunteered to be helper and was situated at the 15 floors staircase to make sure no one injured and in case of any emergency. I am lucky to have two medic to talk to as they also situated at my level. haha. took pictures of their bags. I was given a tag and a walkie-talkie =D
