Gold

---

Dear TomHa,
Congratulations!!!Wenyang struck gold in the Round Ubin canoeing marathon challenge after some rather interesting comeback. Read about it... Quite inspiring. Anyway, I also struck some gold two weeks ago. Yeah! I got gold my gold for IPPT yet again! Woohoo! Additional $200 to spend in October. Haha. This time it was rather freaky. I jumped over the mat for my standing board jump and then the PTI said no count, damn it. And then in my 2.4km, I reached the 2000m mark at 7:30, quite shocking and so I slacked off the last 400m, to the wrath of the conducting officer who gave me a dressing down for being so conceited. Anyway, I finished in 9:18.. Haha, damn it, It had been a long time since I went under 9min.

Today, I woke up at 6am and realised that I had woke up too late for AHM. Very angry with myself and went to run round my neighbourhood to burn off all the carbohydrates that I had loaded myself with yesternight. Ran about an hour before diarrhoea overtook me enough to make me stop. Recently, especially after IPPT, I decided to slack off abit in my excercising. I had not done stairs for like 3 weeks already, but I realised that running had certainly become a way of life even though I hated it. I felt uneasy not running. It is like going to clear bowels. I hate to waste time on things like this, but in the end you'll feel uneasy if you do not do it. Ok, quite a weird analogy.

Yesterday's volunteering service at Climb Adventure for the Touch community kids was really meaningful. Terence said that this kind of thing gives good karma, and well, the seniors were also the ones who like disagreed with our spending of funds on this kind of mountaineering-unrelated things. Anyway, many thanks to Faizhal for letting me be the speech guy for the event. It was a good experience.

Ok, I do not know what to write already. So bye!
