OCBC Cycling Prize Presentation

I can't believe Nic got the photos and the blog post out before me. HAHA... First and foremost, allow me to thank JJ for insisting on signing up for this race. If not... none of this would be taking place in the first place. The Prize giving ceremony was held at El Toro restaurant, somewhere along Penang Road.

The prize giving ceremony was a simple yet throughly enjoyable affair. The mexican/ latin/ spanish food dished out was awesome and could, simply put, be the highlight of the evening. It was fun chilling out with the guys over drinks and awesome food planning our future escapades and adventures. 

I've uploaded some of the pictures below of the 4 of us receiving our prizes. It seems like the only picture we could take was that of us holding up the shirts. Nic refused to agree to us wearing the safety glasses indoors in the evening... if not I think it could have made a great shot... :)

Kudos goes to the our school NUS for supporting us in what we do and our parents for providing us the means and support to pursue what we love :) Till the next race!!








P.S. : Does anyone have pics from Singapore Biathlon and the meal after that? I don't seem to be able to grap the pics of Facebook... I wanna write about it too!!

Friday the 25th

Dad should be touching down in a couple of hours time, which is good I guess. Time is really flying by me and it seems like I ain't getting much done. I have pretty much fallen off the grid and in some peculiar way I am pretty pleased about it. Perhaps I ain't cut out that much to be that "social, partying animal" I always envisioned myself to be. Did I miss much, maybe yes but most likely not. Walking the dog, reading the papers, chilling at home and catching up with my reading are just some of the activities which have been occupying my time these days. I would have spent more time doing training activities for my triathlon however my current physical state simply doesn't permit me to do so with the fervor I had in mind. It is inevitable that I go under the knife, but I guess sooner is better than later.  Anyway... on a lighter note... Its been great catching up with M. We should aim for coffee one more time... before u're wisked off to Neverland :) Can't wait for Ironman next week... the trailer left me hungry for more...

Found these two quotations before... Short yet oh-so-true...  enjoy :)


“A contented mind is the best source for trouble.” 
- Titus Maccius Plautus (254 BC - 184 BC)

“It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.” 
- Sir James MacKintosh

I got lazy once... and once is more than enough. I am happy where I am now but I seek to be happier where I will be in the future. "Hold the course, Jason, its all about holding the course." a teacher once told me, and that is what I shall do. As steady as a rock, I will steer myself into better times to come.


PS : Does anyone know where I can grab Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) for MAC??
