“I Gotta Feeling…”—the First Youth Olympic Games, Singapore
The song “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas is a very memorable song for me as every time I hear it, it reminds me of a special occasion: last year’s Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. That was one of the songs playing before the marathon started and it was then that it stuck. Last…

Mt. Maculot Revisited (Part 2)
The challenges were going back up the trails and retrace our route from the summit to find the right way. Luckily my teammates followed my suggestion of packing light so despite the crumbling ground, with teamwork they were able to pull through with relative difficulty. I however didn’t with my weight training. Mt. Maculot was…
