Screwed Up Ngee Ann Scholarship Interview

It's the Teochew building anyway. At the interview panel, I was posed with a first question in Chinese which I understood, but had a hard time answering considering that I am not too proficient in the language.

1st Run with Mizuno Wave Creation 8, inital review & impressions

I had not ran in more than 2 weeks, a relatively long "cooldown" period after recovery from my fever 2 weeks ago.

Overhead burning sun ahoy, run and swim.
