Table Tennis


After resting my hands and legs for the last 4 days, it's time to start some fun again, hehe...This time, I have signed up with the Company RC's Table Tennis team. The training is every Friday, after 7pm.

I have not been playing Tennis Tennis for many years, guess my skill is a bit rusty now. Since this Tuesday, I have been playing with a colleague of mine, well, I think I'm improving.

That gal colleague of mine had also joined the team, actually, she used to play for the inter-company games last year. Last Friday, I saw her practice, seems like her skill is not bad, especially with her forehand strokes. I have had asked her to play Table Tennis with me before, but she just simply refused, not only that, she also refused to eat lunch with me. Huh...

A Finisher!


Yesterday, I completed my ever 1st full Marathon run, all in 42.195KM. The race actually started at 11:59pm on Saturday night.

The run went round the eastern part of the country, crossing roads, estates, parks, bridges (including overhead ones), uphill and downhill. The first half of the race was easy, the tough one started after that (>20KM), because your knees will start to 'complain', next, your legs' muscles and ankles! Along the way, you will see fellow runners stopping to stretch their legs and arms, apply ointment to 'destress' their body parts.

Every single KM looked like eternity, no end. Sometimes, it was so demoralising, thinking you had run a couple of KMs, but actually, only 1km! We knew because every 1km we had completed, there's a sign board that indicated the distance we had covered.

Amazing that I could finish the run, although I didn't run all the time (yes, I did walked some distance!).

Yeah, I'm proud to declare that I'm a Marathon Finisher! Cheers...
