$200 + Taiwan...

Yup....
Got my silver = $200.

Went to Taiwan a few days ago....5 days 4 nights.
It was sweet. Of course it was just the 2 of us. Weather was great...16 degress to 21 degrees. Cool.....
We stayed at Ximending area. visited a couple of places.
The only setback was food. It is so damn difficult to find halal food. Thank god we have this Tour of Taiwan brochure stating where the Muslim food can be located. There's only like 5 restaurants in the whole of Taipei. Like it or not, we had to find our way to these restaurants. Only problem is, the restaurants are so far away from where we stayed.
The MRT line is pretty straight forward, similar to Singapore but we just had to walk for long distances to get from one place to another. We didn't take the bus for fear of not knowing where we might end up.
Even the coffee houses like Starbucks serves pork. So basically, we only have like one meal per day. The rest of the time, we just munch on bread etc.

It was nice. There's like shopping streets everywhere. Pretty similar to Hongkong I suppose. It's just that Taiwanese people are generally more polite than those from HK. That's the experience I got having visited HK last Dec.

Oh well, time to take a nap. Will post some pics....when I have time. haha. Plain lazy...

Sleepy,

O levels is on...

One more week for O levels.....

Camp is over.....students are officially no longer needed in school. Only for CCAs and etc.

Thank god there's a bunch of dedicated ones....who always comes for CCA.
Went for a short run today...5km. HAving a hard time catching up with the young ones. Geeezzz.....shows how unfit I am.

IPPT in less than 2 weeks....14 November 2009.
Yup yup. Hopefully can maintain a silver....$200. Hopefully of course. haha.

The fasting month and Hari Raya didn't help. Just as I was getting back into shape, fell ill...flu and cough. It's been 3 weeks and there's still phlegm in my system. Can't seem to fully get it out.

Then again, I only have myself to blame....Magnum, TimeOut, Haagen Daz....hehe. Lower back also aching all the time. I really need to strengthen my lower back area. It's just so freaking weak.

How I wish I was 15 years younger. In fact 10 or 11 years younger would be good. The fittest time of my life. Half marathon wasn't a problem at all. How to go for the Urbanathlon in January. Really really really need to train for it.

Hopefully the December holiday would be a good time to work on the fitness.

Alright alright....get some work done now. Ciaoz....

PS: Wonder how my "mackels" and "little devils" do for their Os.


Lower-back-aching,
