Avontuur De Republic 09

The Avontuur De Republic 2009 race was held at Republic Polytechnic yesterday. It is a outdoor adventure race where participants will go through different types of obstacles such as trail running and abseiling in teams of 3. The race was consisted of three categories - RP close, Tertiary Open and Upper Secondary.

I was there as a race official, to help out with the event, representing RP Kayakers. Practically spent a whole day there, helping out with race registration and taking care of the sponsor booths. I had to wake up at 5.50AM as helpers had to attend a briefing just before the event kicked off. I was stationed at the registration counter as a body marker, marking competitors with their team numbers on their arms and legs. After registration was done, i was moved to the sponsor booths to take care/sell the products there.

The whole event ended at around 5pm, so yea, I spent about11 hours in school. It was definitely a good experience for me and I also got the event tee which is pretty cool.

After the whole event ended, I had to collect my race package for the Adidas Sundown Marathon 09, and I'm like dead tired at this point. I had to travel all the way to Millinia Walk where the collection point was at, which needless to say, is sooooo daaamn faaaar! After that, I finally went home to have my dinner and to rest my aching legs.

Just some info on the Adidas Sundown Marathon 09 Race. It will be held next Sat on the 30th of May at Changi Point. Like the race name suggest, the race will be held at night and there will be a few categories such as team coporate challenge and the daunting 84km Ultra Marathon.

Can't wait for the event! One more week to go!

Knock You Down
by Keri Hilson Ft Ne-Yo & Kanye West

Heh, not again Ohh, this ain't supposed to happen to me Keep rockin', and keep knockin' Whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin' You see the hate, that they're servin' on a platter So what we gon' have, dessert or disaster?

I never thought I'd be in love like this When I look at you my mind goes on a trip Then you came in, and knocked me on my face Feels like in I'm a race But I already won first place

I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did (As hard as I did, yeah) You got me thinkin' bout our life our house and kids, yeah Every mornin' I look at you and smile 'Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down Knocked me down

Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (Knocks you down) Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (Knocks you down)

I never thought I'd, hear myself say, ooh, ya'll gon' head I think I'm gonna kick it wit my girl today, kick it wit my girl today I used to be commander and chief Of my pimp ship flyin' high, flyin' high) Til I met this pretty little missile that shot me out the sky (Oh shot me out the sky)

Hey, now I'm crashing, don't know how it happened But I know it feels so damn good Said if I could back, and make it happen faster Don't you know I would baby if I could Miss Independent, ohh, to the fullest, the load never too much She helpin' me pull it She shot the bullet that ended that life I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight Girl sometimes love

Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (Knocks you down) Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (Knocks you down)

Tell me now can you make it past your Caspers So we can finally fly off into NASA You was always the cheerleader of my dreams that Seem to only date the head of football teams And I was the class clown that, always kept you laughin'

We, were never meant to be baby we just happen So please, don't mess up the trick, hey young world I'm the new slick rick They say I move too quick, but we can't let the moment pass us Let the hourglass pass right into ashes

Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses So I wrote this love letter right before my classes How could a goddess ask, someone that's only average For advice, OMG, you listen to that bitch? Whoa, it's me, baby this is tragic 'Cause we had it, we was magic

I was flyin', now I'm crashin' This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson You should leave your boyfriend now, I'mma ask him

Say you gotta put the good with the bad, happy and the sad So will u bring a better future than I had in the past Oh Cause, I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did I don't wanna fall back on my face again Whoa, whoa, I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call Whoa, whoa, and if it hits better make it worth the fall (When it comes around)

Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (Knocks you down) Sometimes love comes around (Love comes around) And it knocks you down Just get back up When it knocks you down (Knocks you down)

Won't see it coming when it happens, hey But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now You see when love knocks you down

Won't see it coming when it happens But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now You see when love knocks you down Yeah
