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.

Actually woke up early in a different tide today, about 8.30am to be exalt. Awoken mainly by my parents who were all over the house before leaving for work in the morning and partly because they turned off the central air-conditioning which makes falling back to sleep a rather miserable sweaty feat.
