It is 2.30am, and I'm still awake trying to figure out how to do my AIR Topic (AIR abbreviates for Assigned Independent Reading) which is a 300-500 word essay (I've yet to find out the word limit) about immunohistochemistry. Bombastic word? Yes I know, even I don't know what it meant until I've done reading up from the sources given.

I wanted to post some photos up. Here's the first ever run / race / marathon I've ever been to. It's not even a marathon, it's probably a quarter marathon. It was a 10km run around Bukit Jalil, organised by some Bukit Jalil running club for charity.

It was last Sunday. We were supposed to meet at IMU at 5.45am, the Race Coordinator of the Infinity Milers (a running and mountain climbing club in IMU) called me at 6am, and only then I woke up =P

I got 292nd place, haha, how awesome is that? That is super low. And I clocked in 1 hour and 17 minutes. I ran all the way without stopping, quite a huge achievement for me. I was talking to Jeremy three quarters of the way. Thanks Jeremy for being my pacesetter, hope I didn't slow you down too much! The qualifying time was 1 hour 45 minutes, so I completed the run half an hour before time.

The run was torturous, especially towards the end. We went up two steep slopes, and many smaller ones, and the last 2km was killing.

In the end, I survived and completed the run without stopping to walk!

After the run, I rushed home to shower and had another marathon at church. Not a running marathon, but was in church from 10.30am-8.30pm. I went home and crashed!

But after the run, I felt so healthy. I felt the rush of endorphins, which felt pretty darn good. I do kinda enjoy running, because when I run, I release stress. And when I run, I don't have anything to do, so I started thinking of life, faith, and God.

Anyway, what I wanted to show you all was these super awesome pictures.

Some of my batchmates holding up a lala pose. Do you see what I see? Don't see it? Let's zoom it in


Yeah, it is a rainbow on the fountain. It appears to me that you can see it every morning at that position, looks really cool, eh?

I'll post up pictures and stories about orientation soon. It is so awesome, I have to write a little about it.

But till then, I'll go back to studying :(
