a week ago, i was given the privilege to support our ministers and foreign delegates in the annual ministerial forum on ict. my role was to ensure network functionality in the ballroom. the topics were mainly on strategic planning and deployment of ict systems - very theoritical and business oriented, truely an eye opener.
after a month of lessons and years of procrastination, i finally obtained the golf pc. true to the words of my uncle, playing on the green is different from practising in the range - where it is harder to hit the ball on the green. my shots weren't accurate and one of balls even rolled back after it ricocheted off a tree from my tee shot. *first timer's jitters* nevertheless, i will continue to work on my swings before going for further lessons as i plan to play competitively.
the Singapore flyer ran a promotion for all students to board for $10. not wanting to miss this opportunity, i took my maiden ride (special thanks to sim) on the world's tallest ferris wheel. along the way, i made 2 new friends who are indonesian studying here. we took turns to take photos for each other and exchanged cultural facts. as we ascended to the top, the national day parade rehearsal was visible. judging from the sights and sounds, it could be the best parade ever. pity that i am not allocated tickets for this year's parade.
this morning's event took me for a walk through memory lane. i was asked to represent my cc in the 4x200m relay at a grassroot event which was also held in conjunction with the ayg torch relay (yck stadium). for the record, i started off as a 200m/400m sprinter before switching to long distance and racewalk events. the carnival atmosphere was a reminiscent of my primary school sports day where i ran and fell on the muddy school field. *flashback* although i didn't fall this time, i still enjoyed myself thoroughly. it is good to be in a "sports day like event" once in a while.
