Undeserving grace

My cummulative GPA is nothing fantastic. In fact, it is nowhere near that magical figure to be eligible for the stipend. When I checked my bank account, it was in. Rather than guessing or speculating what is the minimum threshold, give thanks for this undeserving grace and His providence especially during this period.

My new 'BlackAltis'

SBR 09 and also signed up for the Swissotel Vertical Marathon

This is my 4th year taking part in the SBR and I must confess in terms of logistics and organisation it was the best so far. All the shortcomings that were so glaring last year were resolved and many were happy with the execution. Only thing is that the banana stations could have been more strategically placed. However, this is a very minor issue.

Signed up for the Swissotel Vertical marathon and this time round, I intend to scale the stairs with my digicam because I want to get some great pictures from the top! Just need to pray for favourable conditions just like it was during SBR 09.

Start of a new term

I begin my 4th and final year today. Basically, my aim is to finish this course well so that the objective of being able to further my studies in the education line is being met. Besides, the many sacrifices made will be worth it.
Just registered for the Swissotel Vertical Marathon and that means, I have 2 events in Nov. Here is a breakdown of the events for the rest of the year.
Aug: SBR 21km
Sept: Yellow Ribbon Run 10km
Oct: nil
Nov: NB Real Run 15k, Swissotel Vertical
Dec: Stanchart 42km ( the pinnacle of all races)

Last week of the hols

Just another wk to go before term begins. Once again, I have 7 modules and of which I have 6 exams. Despite the reduced 3 hr contact time, I reckon that I need to do quite a bit of reading up especially for the SK science of which I have not 1 but 2 of them. Coming from a 'totally no-biology' background, this is going to be quite a feat. Of course the 3 maths modules look quite formidable as well. However, with the long term goal in mind and the next semester with just 4 modules, I reckon it is worth the while.
