Attending the KPE 10 km run was a very good experience. It was the first time I get to run a 10 km distance. I got up around six to make my way down to meet up with Mou Wei and Terence for the run at Kovan train station. We went to queue up to take the shuttle bus to the tunnel, and boy, the queue was so long that it stretched from the bus interchange all the way to the hawker centre. Luckily the bus frequency was good, so we managed to get to the tunnel before the event started. After stretching, the race started and was flagged off by either the president or the minister, which I could not see properly being way behind the starting line.

One hour and eleven minutes passed, I crossed the finish line. For me, I can take this as an achievement as this is the first 10 km run I attempted. Mou Wei finished first among the three of us, followed by me, then Terence. We left the event immediately as it was very stuffy in the tunnel and the ventilation was really bad. We walked some distance out before taking a cab down to Kovan train station to eat at the nearby hawker centre. The fish porridge I ate tasted so horrible and it was Terence’s recommendation. I shall not talk about it. I went home to catch some sleep before going to church in the evening. The service was remarkable and I am blessed by the word of God.

I headed straight for bowling training right after work without having my dinner. Training was so bad that I felt like a person learning how to bowl instead of someone trying to improve on the hook. For the last few weeks, I was alright with the hook. However, for this week, I cannot execute the hook properly. I really need to relax and put my one hundred and one percent into training to get everything right.

Work, work, and more work. Lunch time, I had lunch with my bosses and we ate at the coffee shop across the road. The food there is all "cannot make it" type, so I am not going there again.

Although I have to work in the morning, I was free from work this morning. My bosses were working while I was busy surfing the internet and doing some reading. Tomorrow, I plan to read up more on Christianity. If I have more time, I will read up on aircrafts, which I declare as my new found interest.

Bilson and Chor Boon joined me at work since the company decided to hire them to do some filing. Poor them, if I am not wrong their contract only last for two days or maybe three. After that, they will have to leave the company.

Both my bosses brought me out for lunch and we ate for two hours at "The Seafood Paradise Restaurant". We had seven dishes including the dessert, namely, butter crab, fried chicken, scallops with asparagus, seafood noodles, and steamed fish. I had a great time eating with them, and I enjoyed the butter crab the most. They gave me half of the crab to eat because they could not finish it. Work was simple and I had a great day because of the yummy food.

Camp afterglow taught me to set some sort of goals for my spiritual walk with God. I plan to focus more on my quiet time with God and cut down on procrastinating. Lunch was provided and we had Japanese food catered. I love Japanese food. Unfortunately, it was not sushi and the food was a little too salty. I shall not complain since it is free. I also got to catch up with my friends I got to know through ODDinary Camp and got to know new people from my school too.

Once the afterglow programme was over, I headed straight down to school to use the gym together with Chor Boon and Mou Wei. After using the gym, Mou Wei and I went to Novena square to sign up for the Real Run organised by New Balance.
