Looking for a light

This has been a hell of a wekk for me cos of one thing, IPPT!!! Oh man what a burden it has been on me since Ive come into division but finally now, after all those runs at Bedok Reservoir, Tanah Merah, Simei and of course the punishing boredom of the gym treadmill, me an phil-the-man have finally done it.

And of course more importantly,

So at the risk of blowing my own trumpet/horn/bugle, heres the lowdown on the IPPT.

Did 45 and stopped, was pretty ok lar thankfully, though the pavement was hard.

Knowing my bad history on this, I was a bit nervous. Thankfully though, the floor had so much more friction and it was easier to run. 9.0 secs. Satisfied and my spirits were up!

Now this was the big one, I had not cleared the 'B' mark very well the past few days, and had been practising like crazy the past few days. I remember even doing bout an hour plus of SBJs outside my house on a tuesday. As i made the jump yest, i realli felt god was wif me man, it was surreal to say the least. 244cm. A!

The bar was thin and rough enough to grip on. Did 12 for an A and got down.

Now this was the big one. Ran with Phil in a dry-run on wed and ran 10:40 so I was realli nervous for myself. I started off well, breaking away at the very start of the race. Towards the end I was tiring out and it was getting at my legs, soon enough I was overtaken by an IO(Investigating Officer) Tan Lee Teck, a little demoralised but carried on. At the finish it was me and phil, 2nd and 3rd. 9 minutes 30 Secs...at this point I really have to give my props to Tan Lee Teck. 39 years old! and he prob clocked bout 9:20. Incredible shit I tell u.

So dats the story of the IPPT. What a week, and well as Imenitoned earlier, hard work does eventually pay off. We went for aN HTES walk-a-jog later dat day,but walked away soon enough since it was rather boring. Haha, right now Im in a good mood, things are looking up, and thankfully I feel that Im gettin closer to God, with whom none of the above would have been possible...(man I sound like Jerry ong)

Singapore Idol Unsung Heroes


Sorry guys this was the only pic I could get from the unsung heroes show, stupid Singapore Idol website.

What a show! Twas a realli great night I think, I was particularly impressed with jocelyn yeo,(the strange looking girl in pink at the auditions) and of course Mr "careless whispers". Of cos there was my man Sadli!!!He is simply a work of art man. His rendition of solitaire would have easily gotten him into the final 12, and of cos give some representation to the Malay community. Haha, but anyways things always have a strange way of working out eventually and for Sadli I think it will.

But the moment of the night belonged to Albert Soh and Lily Yeo, whose rendition of "Music of my heart" was realli incredible. My only qualm was why they were given only 2 lines each?!!?! Then suddenly Gurmit, Sadli and the other Malay girl burst in and drowned out their voices...

Nonetheless its at moments like those when I feel that as long as you have the heart to make it you will. Of course the world is more complicated than that but well, you gotta hold on to something right?

Anyways the coming week is a short one. took monday and half of tuesday off. right now am in the midst of practising for the SPANS karaoke competition. Will prob be singing "it might be you" not cos' there aint any better song but dats one of the few songs there are on karaoke.

Oh well, Cecil will be coming today, so I'm looking forward to dat man. Dats all there is so far. Uni's uncle is in a bad way now cos of long cancer so if you read this just say a little prayer in your heart k? And rem dat life is much too short, so make it count.
