Soon it will be 2010.
The past 360 odd days of my life have been one hell of a roller coaster ride.
And I would say that the next 4-5 months will probably be one of the worst ever periods in my life.
But I know I will get past it and move on.
Anyways term is about to start in 2 weeks time.
Competition season beckons.
Time to get into shape!!!
I'll do everything to make myself stronger.

Chiang Mai

Ok now I shall tell everyone about my experience in Chiang Mai.
Note: Pictures are not in chronological order.
Chiang Mai Blue House
View from the entrance. Many potted plants! (Pardon the glare)
A better look at the plants and greenery from the inside
The bar
The coffee table behind the bar. Probably the thing we will do every morning after we wake up and wash up will be to go have breakfast. And since its rather cold in the morning, everyone needs a nice warm cup of milo/tea/coffee/mocha to warm up to and that table has everything!
The seating area. And we took up almost the entire place haha.
Pinkboi reading his book. The 2nd floor corridor. More blue paint.
Ah! How can I forget? Breakfast!! We have 4 options for breakfast and I've tried all 4. I must say that the one above is my absolute favourite! Its called "Bacon, Eggs, Toast and Potatoes"!! YUMYUM. No better way to start the day!
2nd favourite! Breakfast Croissant.
Crazy Horse Buttress
Many many crags to go to!!!
One of the many huts voluntarily by this Red Truck Driver. Oh he also washes the toilet everyday. All the steps and railings which lead up to the crags were built by him too!! Respect.
This is what's holding me and preventing me from dropping.
Belaying and rope managing.
Team Housefly.
Say Cheese!!!
Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Avdenture (CMRCA)
Bouldering wall behind the shop. Small yet fun!!
The training area. Plenty of good fingerboards with insanely sloppy sloppers!
Nice painting depicting the crazy horse buttress
Oh and these tupperware containers where they pack out lunch are provided by them!
Night Market
9 quail eggs = 100 Baht = Cholesterol Overdose
15 baht omelette rice.
The only mango sticky rice that we could find after combing the streets for close to 2 hours.
FOOD!!!
More omelette rice.
Fuji Restaurant Tempura Bento Set. Huge portion, dirt cheap.
Pork Chop.. Looks nice, buts its ok only la... but still decent nonetheless
My personal favourite. 5 people, 10 bowls/plate. Power la...

The gateway to all the crags. Haha ok not all. Maybe just some of the many crags available.
Evolv Pontas. Probably the best shoe I've ever worn.

Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Avdenture (CMRCA)
CMRCA is the company that takes charge of all the climbing in Chiang Mai. They are the ones who bolt up the routes, provide us with the topo, publish a book on it and takes care of the crags that we climb at. Very nice people!!!

3rd
Sunday, December 6, 2009 1:15 PM
Completed my 3rd marathon in a (horrible) time of 6hrs 11mins.
Definitely didnt feel as good as the previous year's.
Well I guess the only person I can blame is myself.
Didnt train for it at all.
It was already surprising enough that I could ran till the 25km mark.
At the 11km mark, i was already very tired, but somehow I lasted another 14km before walking.
Reason: Muscle Cramps. I wasnt tired. I could still run.
I guess many people have the same problem as me.
Tried to run again after walking for 1km and I barely lasted 20 steps before walking. Again.
After a while, the initial cramps (just above the kneecap) that I was having went away.
Then came the killer blow.
I couldnt flex my knees properly, not without feeling pain.
So I kinda limped through the rest of the run.
I couldnt even find the energy to sprint through the final stretch..
Yeah it was that bad.
But still finish nonetheless haha...
Maybe 1 more next year?
Oh there are some of the pictures from the marathon. Enjoy!

Almost
Friday, December 4, 2009 5:50 PM
My 2nd last semester in NUS was concluded on the 3rd of December at 11am.
Wrong, make that 1120am.
Cuz for some reason, the invigilators forgot to take attendance.
Hence the delay, but never mind.
Went to expo at around 7pm to collect my race pack.
I now know that one should not go and collect it in the afternoon.
Nor should one go collect it the moment they open their doors.
Bad experiences on both occasions.
Evenings are the best.
Watched New Moon.
Never have I been more inspired to have a body as perfect as Jacob Black's
And I actually kinda like the movie.
Which would u be?
Vampire or Werewolf?
