一气呵成 best describes this morning's Half Marathon with junhua and vincent.
Didn't stop to rest. Our legs carried us all the way to the 21km mark.
Though my personal longest-continuous-running record was 26km during last year-end's Stanchart, today was the first major race that was done without a rest. Certainly an improvement over last year.
--------------------------------------
Yesterday went to my first 夏祭り (Summer Festival) at Japanese School (Changi Campus). The fact is, I've never heard of this annual celebration before last month. But apparently, it's a big thing among the Japanese Community and the 哈日族.
This was meant as an unofficial gathering for my Pyaess Classmates. But very surprisingly, I saw so many other familiar faces, so many that I think I'm such a noob, to NOT have heard of this event in the past.
It's quite a cool event, with almost half of the event-goers clad in Yukatas. But what interested me the most were the food stalls... And I totally missed out the 'highlight' of the event -- 踊り!
--------------------------------------
And once again, I was awed by the Olympics Closing Ceremony. It ended the Greatest Olympic Games with a bang. After following the Games for the past 16 days, I guess I'll feel somewhat lost without the coverage on TV and press.
And it's another 4-year-wait for the 2-weeks-worth of sporting inspiration.
Seriously, I admire sportsmen for almost everything--endurance, patience, stress management, wit, skills, physique, charisma, energy, vigour, attitude, etc.
I shall be like them one day. In my next life, though.
人生是黑白的.
