yesterday was at 4zhi's house to bai nian and have a dinner gathering with the mumbo peeps.its that usual few.its nice that they have this every year and im glad most of us turn up for it.we lau yusheng together and ended up creating a mess in the living room.but who cares since its like CNY.when i got there,daren and benson was like asking me to play daidee with them and the bet was not money but food!!!hahaha...so just sat down and play and even if i won,i just took a plate and grab some food for myself.after dinner,the usual stuff lolz,just play blackjack.its a pity i couldn't stay for long as i have to go home and rest for VM today!so i left pretty early this time round.sianz...

went down pretty early today to see if i could be of any help since they make it sound as if no one's going down.but well,from what i see,its pretty well planned,organised and executed.congrats to the event comm and whoever's involved lolz.

met up with the rest of my team and went to change up and go for a warmup jog.so we freaking jog one big round around Singapore river.it was a 1st time experience thingy.nice jog and it was pretty cooling too.was comparing the OUB building to Republic plaza.then was telling them we should be happy that we're not climbing OUB.From our view,it seems that republic plaza is abit shorter than OUB building.took some fotos while stretching at the UOB centre.then proceed to the reg point to reg our team.abit gan chiong lolz but all was well.then went over to the start point and saw edward yeong's team.the one that trashed us flat last year.their team is like 1 team in front of us.stress level high lolz.then we posed in front of the timer to take fotos and the so called professionals were there to take more shots of us lol.felt like so superstar like that.after which,it was finally us to start the climb.

the first thing i realised when i get into the stairway is that the ventilation is so much better than suntec!!!and the stairway is wider.but the shocking thing is that it consists of 11steps/flight which means more steps to clear 1 level.so i just tried to run lolz.doing the usual pace to run up i should be able to at least reach 30th storey for hdb building.but when im like at that level,i looked up only to find myself at level 16th.im so super duper afraid that i couldn't finish and i just pushed on.all i can remember was wat zebin told me.even if you walk,you got to walk fast and reduce distance travelled as all this split seconds can add up to mins when u're talking abt a 60 storeys climb.on top of that,what kept me going was the desire to finish under 10.along the way,i managed to catch up with 2 girls that were 2 mins in front of us.but i lost one of them after she kind of recharged herself at a drinking point.but the good thing is i still caught up with another guy from the previous detail.the initial target was to catch up with the entire team.but well,this 60 storeys aint no joke man!super tough.when i got to the top i realised i've already clocked at most 10:30.felt quite disappointed lolz and i could still walk properly and wasn't breathing as hard as i did for Suntec.then i continued to timed for the rest.i came up 2nd for my group.zebin was first and lek third.eleanor came in faster than reina this time.well done ellie and reina you've done well.dun wry too much.met julia up there and we took some fotos before we took our time to stroll down.

i did a comparison of the timings to individual open timings and tot that we wouldn't be able to win anything liaoz.so i asked the rest to go off first and i'll update them if there's anything lol.we were lucky to have make it this far for 4th position.happy but not so as i did not achieve my personal target.at first i thought i shouldn't feel so bad cause its oki to have a goal and dun achieve it with much trying.however,i thought i could just dismiss off my thoughts on the spot.i was wrong.when i saw my CJ juniors coming out of the building all with the kind of shag face and temp 'disability' that gave me a wake up call.i was probably going abit too easy on myself bah!some how i think i should have done better.arghx.but well,its all over now.and from what i heard that my juniors do for their training,what i was training alone wasn't even half of what they're doing.i was wondering if i could still train at this kinda work rate.was chatting with corinna and told her the odac results.she's happy for them but we both agree we were prefer to maintain our kind of culture for both our batches than the current one.there's really a big difference between the batch of odac members after us.well,coming to that,i saw my direct junior batch which is the 6th batch yesterday.Zijian was there and he finally managed to get something from NVM.he joined lovers challenge with yimin and they emerged second,im happy for him and yupz,he was like very grateful.he was telling his batch mates how much i used to encourage him and stuff back in those days whereby training was extremely time consuming and tough for us having to juggle multiple CCAs.thx zijian for the credits but then i still think his the only one that deserve it all.for the simple reason he was able to absorb and do whatever is necessary.i can talk and encourage as much as i can but he can chose not to push and nothing will happen.therefore,im not that deserving at all.just do what you're suppose to do man.i wish u all the best in NUS.

well,this is such a long post and how can it be completed without pics...there you go:
