have not gotten up before sunrise on sundays for a long long long time. so imagine my reluctance at having to rise at the unearthly hour of 6am (the fact that i wake at this time most weekdays doesn't count. it's SUNDAY) in order to attend the army half marathon at marina bay. was extremely tempted to hide under my comforter and pretend that it was just a really bad dream but unfortunately you don't get charged with awol in your dreams, so there i was standing on the padang at 7.30am. to add salt to the already very painful wound, it rained poured the entire day yesterday so the ground was muddy beyond belief.

that being said, the event wasn't that bad after all for i got to catch up with my training mates, who provided me with a much needed respite from the guys at work. despite being there to officially show face and look after bags, ran into bak wei and decided to join the 6km fun walk/run to find edwin and the guys, who were supposedly at the water point at suntec. while 6km wasn't a walk in the park (or around the city for that matter), it was surprisingly manageable. might (very unlikely though :P) actually run it come next year.

headed down to orchard hotel for the study in australia fair after the run ended. was supposed to go first thing yesterday but since i came back late on friday, slept at 4am and my bed was really really really comfortable, decided to have a lie in. until 1.30pm. bliss.

and to cut a very long and admittedly rather boring story short, yours truly has applied to 2 different universities, namely, university of queensland's bachelor of international hotel and tourism management and university of new south wales' (SYDNEY!) bachelor of commerce in services marketing, tourism and hospitality (quite a mouthful no?).

since i'm applying for the 2010 intake, which was of the least concern on everyone's minds, i've been told that the universities would really take their time to process my application. oh wells, i'm fine with that if they decided to subsidise my tuition fees or to award me a scholarship. like pls do so... >.< style="font-style: italic;">good, with half days on monday and friday so i theoretically only work 4 days. whoohoo!

so how was your weekend?
