Wow. Taking part in a marathon is something that I never ever dream of taking part. Hmm wait a minute. I sound like I run the full marathon. Nope. Dun think too highly of me. I took part in the 10km run together with Angeline, Mei Fang & Boi.
Being busy wif exams wif i dun noe wat, i had no time to train. Hence today, i went not prepared physically. Still, i managed to complete the run in under 100 mins i guess.. It was kinda of fun running and walking in the event. Wif so many strangers cheering you, you are juz so motivated to run. I was doing the run on my own. Plugged wif Mp3, donning a cap in my runnning gear, i run, walk, run and walk and finally run in the event. U noe, the moment u reach one fullerton, reaching the ending point, no matter how worn out you are, tired, u juz feel so motivated. it was like hordes of strangers just cheering you up, motivating you not to give up and complete your own race. The feeling was just magical. When you finally cross the finishing line, you just felt.... dun noe, the felling is undescribeable. happy and satisfied that you completed it. I guess, i will participate again next year but with proper training. I may not be a winner in the event but i feel that every runner a winner of your own race. Be it the shortest timig in your life or a timing of leisure walk, it all lies in your hand. Goof job to all runners who participated in the marathon. A salute to all those who complete the the full marathon. I do hope in 5 years down the road, i will be able to complete the full marathon. It aint ez but it is an accomplishment in life

Phew.... Exams finally over..

Phew...
What A relief.
Have not been blogging though for super long time.
Anyway, i finally finish my exams. Come Dec 15, I will be in my final year liao. N this time, next year, I will be busy doing touch up for my FYP. Sigh.

There are so many things that happen in my life the past few months. It was like a series of event that Thinking back i dun noe how i survive. Though so, i survive with picking up bad habits. Since i did my fasting this year, I realized, i juz can't drink anymore. My tolerance for alcohol just grew very weak. Went Bala to chill out few times during tis period lest I go mad, I can't even finish my pint. Failure or lost interest. Even wine, i now prefer to drink leisurely.

During my absence of blogging, i did few interesting stuffs. I was in Batam from Nov 16-17 on a community service project with my company ie Credit Suisse. A group of 19 went down Batam to build house for the unfortunate together with the Human Habitat.

Gosh, it was really hard labour for us. When we came down to the site, the house was still in the beginning stage. Imagine all of us who are bankers enjoying werking in air conditioned office facing the screen day in and out exchange 2 days of our life to rough it out in the village weking as labourers. We were basically building a house w/o the assistance of any machinery. All our tools and equipments are basically manual. Even wire cutting of steel columns is done via physical strength. We tolied with hard soil, carry bricks, painted the zinc roof and prepare the steel columns. Gosh, it is tiring. Physically worn out at the end of the day. Many decides to go for a message the moment we reach our hotel. Lest for few of us, we decides to head back to our room, have a cold shower and sleep till dinner. Dinner was nothing fantastic, simple dinner. No matter how tasteless the food is, all being hungry after a day of toiling under the sun, we all gorged in. Imagine on the first day of reporting for werkz in Batam, we did nothing but digging and digging the whole day. The guys and the ladies were all chipping one way or another in the digging process. We had deadlines to meet we felt but to the Indonesians, they felt we were werking too hard. Being S'poreans and expats werking in S'pore, we always stick to our deadlines and werkz under pressure which the locals dun like. As they say, when in Rome, do wat the romans do. Hence, in Batam, follow the way of life of the pp in Batam. No matter how ridiculous the process is and you have better ways of improving it, you can't change anything. Its their territory and we are there as guests to assist.

Anyway, pictures shows a thousand words of our experience there. Click on the link
