plate and plated

i was grilled by the president of saa at my club's dinner 2 weeks ago. he asked about my track plans which i presented with my sea games target. in response, i was blasted for having such a low aim and i should be aiming for sea games gold instead. wow, how can i get gold when i can't even go? byebye laos.....

mexico will be hosting the iaaf racewalking world cup next year. i expressed my interest to do the 50km there but the answer is always bureaucratic.

i had my second ippt attempt yesterday. the first time i did the test, i was 5cm short (due to the standing broad jump station) of gold. So i decided to retake it and was happy with the outcome - gold and a faster 2.4km time (9.29min as compared to 9:57min in my first attempt, those times aren't my personal best (7:11min) but i am pleased with the efforts).

yesterday's evening, yuji hosted dinner to celebrate his birthday. the spread was a scumptious fusion of international cuisines and a wide selection of booze. prior to the event, his culinary skills were often complimented and i can say they are no fluke.

i need a review on the ugly truth. if you plan to watch it, please give me a review. :)

happy holidays!!!
