23rd July... hmmm...

Today is 23rd July and my team, R.I.S.K got 23rd position for the SMRT Challenge... interesting isn't is it? By the way, there's a meaning behind R.I.S.K = Roy, Iain, Steven, Kenneth.













SMRT Challenge is a free race which aims to promote SMRT services and most importantly, to promote courtesy and safety on trains, buses and taxi. There were 8 checkpoints where we had to clear, and there were 2 challenges at each checkpoint. The checkpoints were spreaded out quite evenly, i would say, but i think it could have been better if the stations in the east were included as well. And for the challenges, they were kind of easy. Too easy in fact. The first team took 3hours 6min to complete, we took 4hrs 10min. So, they were really fast. And they won the SGD2000. That is a lot of $$ ... Wooooo... I am jealous... Haha... Well, i am joining next yr again. But this time round i will join the student catergory. The first team for the student catergory is about 4hrs plus... so will be easier to compete... haha...







Today also happens to be the Children Cancer Foundation day or something... and from the 6.30pm news, i saw the "brave" people having their hair shaved off. There was an increase in the number of ladies who chose to let their head be shaved and i salute their bravery. Really!! It is not easy to make the decision to shave your head... FYI, those poor kids who, unfortunately, got cancer will start losing their hair after the radiation treatment. So, in order to show support for these kids, to show that it is not ugly to have no hair, these volunteers got their head shaved... So, when will be my turn ? Seriously... i don't know...
