Boring week again. Went driving lesson very early in the morning again, then rest at home. Went for a jog just now, realise my left knee still weak. Counting down to the end of admin spec. Not sure if the worst is over or yet to come, but it's gonna end soon.
Read newspaper and mention about fake degree. What's happening to all these private university? Imagine you spend few yrs taking this degree, go out to work, and find out that it's fake? What to do? Spend another few yrs study all over again, spend large amount of money and get a real stuff? Bu then how old already?
RIP Michael Jackson. I do love some of your songs.
Month of June, a lot of people are born in this month, especially the time in AI as trainees, exactly a yr ago at this week, can still rmb how much fun we had. Hope can all meet up soon. Same goes to BMT-mate too. Hope you guys are doing well.

First time in the office blogging. Now awaiting the rest to come back office.
Last weekend try to run, realised that I can't run due to the pain at my left knee. This is due to the long dist run I had 3 weeks ago. Not sure if I need more medical attention. I wish to take part in AHM. Hopefully I can recover ASAP and train up.

Adidas Sundown Marathon!! OMG! My very first marathon till date. Have been wanting to join marathon, but lack the motivation. This year, with the accompany of MTW colleague, I finish took up this challenge.
300509 @ 2230h, meet sirong and wilson at pasir ris mrt station, and proceed to take the shuttle bus. Upon alighting, we quickly change into the running attire, and meet up the rest to proceed to the baggage area. We reach the starting point at 2345h, do warm-up and standby for the race. At 0000h, the horn sounded. Most of them started with slow pace, causing rather 'human jam' at the back. We were soon split. Upon reaching the 1KM point, I was quite happy, but still got 41 KM more.
Someone told me that running the first 20KM without is quite Okay task for most of the people, I was kind of worry as my training for this marathon is limited and inconsistant. But I maganed to clear the first 20KM.
Here are the point where I wanted to stop:
21KM, 23KM, 25KM, 30KM.
After passing 30KM, I was having the thoughts of clearing 42KM without stopping, since it's 12 KM more, but really not easy. In the end, I sense that my legs are close to cramping, therefore i stopped at 35KM, walking a while and continue. I make a second stop at 36KM, as I stop, a lady was trying to motivating me. I was rather touched at that point of time. I continue after feeling better. For the last 7 to 8 KM, I was running like quite improperly (shin start to feel tight) in order to prevent the calfs from cramping. Here comes the 40KM mark, I pass through, hoping to finish it ASAP. However, upon making a left turn, both of my legs cramp. I was feeling both of the calfs having cramps for the first time. It feel sucks to cramp at this time with just 2 more KM to go. I seated on the gound for a few minutes, waiting for the cramp to go off.
When it gets better, I quickly get up and continue. The last 2 KM seems quite long. I keep running uncomfortably. When entering the last part near the bridge, I hear those volunteers were shouting, " Finishing soon, come on!". The lady in front of me ask how long more, they reply 1KM more. Immediately, she stopped and walked. After hearing that, I really curse and swear in my heart, thinking it only left with 200m. Anyway, I carry on running till I saw the first sensor. I tried to dash as fast as I can, also making sure that I don't cramp at this important point when everyone is looking at you. In the end, I cross the finishing point.
Timing still not confirm yet. But I was really very happy at that moment, as I only aim to finish the race rather than meeting timing. I got what I want, the finisher tee shirt and the medel.
Still waiting for the website to upload the result.
