On top of the world

Met up with Sham, Valen and some of her friends yesterday. Actually planned to watch Casino Royale but Valen and friends weren't too keen on the show so we ended up watching Step Up instead. We couldn't get tickets at Cine at first so we walked all the way to Lido. Its such a small world. While we were walking there, we bummed into Puss, Zhenming and Anna. They were on their way to forum for dinner and so we caught up abit.

Apparently, one of Valen's friends was one of the top few in last season's project superstar but i didn't recognize her haha. Anyway, Valen doesn't want me to talk about it so i shall not! Hehe. Step up turned out to be quite a cool show. Its about this guy who spends much of his life idling and doing stupid things. He was caught one day vandalising Maryland School of Arts. He was then punished to do community service there for 200 hours. Yup, you guessed it, he ended up falling for a girl there and dancing for some school performance there. Its one of those show that makes you wish you could actually dance well haha.



After movie, they wanted to chill out while i wanted to watch soccer, so we ended up at Boat Quay. I hope i didn't bore the group though because all the while, only Sham and I was watching soccer till KKH came along much later.

Slept for barely 5 hours before i had to wake up for my vertical marathon today! I didn't get the jitters like i did when i was getting ready for my AHM because i underestimated this marathon. I was thinking, afterall, its only a short torture..15-20mins at most? It was only when i was doing the marathon that i realised how wrong i was. I was already panting like a dog at around 20 storeys. At around 50th storeys, i was literally pulling myself up using the side railings. At some point i even felt like giving up...haha it was hell...i never felt this tired before running 21km. This is really a different kind of torture...and i didn't train prior to this marathon..what a mistake. I ended up last among Puss and Weijian. I completed this 73 storeys in 15mins compared to Puss's 13mins and Weijian's 10mins. I feel so embarrassed. I was even thinking if i should blog about my timing..i chose to in the end haha.




Getting ready for our ascend

The shoes that brought us there

My cert!

Had breakfast at Hong Kong's Cafe after the marathon while waiting for our certs. After collecting our certs, we went to plan lan for a short while before going home. I need to rest now!
