First Meeting

I dedicated this blog (my first) to the my fellow MountKK Kakis, Aaron, Audrey, Grace , Jeremy, Kelvin, Melissa, Prema and probably Annie.

I have never met all of them, except for Jeremy, but I haven seen him for about four years. Yesterday was our first meeting, less Audrey and Annie, and I have such feelings like blind dates and seeing my long-time-nv meet-friend. I also felt weird going on a trip with strangers. I think some of them have such feelings too.

So our only communications had always been email, sms and sometimes by phone, until yesterday.

We met up for our first training at Toa Payoh to scale the summits of some 40-storey flats. I made my journey to Toa Payoh from SP with my laptop and two sets of school notes in my backpack. It was heavy and I thought I got no choice but to climb with it, but lucky Grace let us put our things and changed our gears at her flat. Terima kasih Grace!

In all we scaled three X 40-storey staircases at two different HDB flats. Grace and Kelvin were the most enthusiastic and fastest, especially Grace, who was happy seeing those stairs. She reminded me of a hamster running the wheel non-stop and she like no kick lo~!

The rest of us were encouraging Prema most of the time. Take it easy on yourself Prema, treat it as a fun experience. With more conditioning, you would be much prepared. Each staircase took us approx. 10mins and I thought it was nothing compared to scaling MountKK for hours and hours and hours.... It reasonably easy for me, but i felt some pain at my left knee and its a recuring one.

Nonetheless I am motivated and looking forward to our next training together!
