hi all!

i survived SPITFIRE..

72++ click of hell, high water and the freezing cold with anything between 30-40kg of load (estimates vary) interspersed with command tasks (ie 'tests'). man. that's all that's on my mind now - heck i was aiming for the toilet brush award, given to the last team to come in, since that wd actually mean i finished.. as it turns out my group was superpowered and despite starting 2nd last we were 2nd for more than 3/4 of the race - literally an amazing race - losing out in the end cos a) we slept too much (and therefore had a good time) and b) one of our members had terrible blisters and we had to slow down. for the record that isnt me, tho it *is* the first time im nursing blisters.

still in ROC now, 0th (extra) day of RnR. city of tou3 liu4.. pretty neat place, i guess, tho to be honest theres nothing much to do around here, things are seriously overpriced and given that this isnt e capital there isnt anything worth doing. camped out in a movie theatre n watched a doublebill of the sweetest thing - american pie for chicks - and e road to perdition, which is such a terrific show (and great for fathers' day, too). the blend of action and drama/bonding is near-perfect and i cant quite understand why anybody wd claim its boring. mm. i cant remember the last time i went to the cinema - mayhap the last film i watched was chocolat from way back? =|

bleah. running out of time, gotta head back. thats all from me for now til i find another net cafe.. bore y'all with more roc tales some other time. and to the diaspora heading home for the hols: welcome back y'all - esp to jiaying n zuan. welcome home. htat's something i hope to be doing soon!

Gemma Hayes - Ran for Miles

Well I got myself a new day
And I got myself a second chance
So I headed to the bus stop
And the sun, the sun was warm on my back

Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of

Today I ran for all that was mine

Well I got myself a song inside
And I got myself some full blown daylight
Wanna tell you just how hard it's been
Trying to talk myself out of jumping

Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of

Today I ran for all that was mine, yeah

Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of

Today I ran for all that was mine
Just to see what I was made of

Today I ran for all that was mine, yeah
