Sensing that Lin Hai is very afk today, i decided to do him a favour by doing today's post. But even though its my post, be assured that the Lin Hai spirit lives on.....

And so i shall begin, today is tuesday aka tutorial day aka must do/copy ur hw day. The day is sian as usual but we tried to mantain our famed enthusiasm throughout. We perservered with grit and determination until 3.30pm where the fun was supposed to start. There was a hive of activity as we were all eagerly anticipating the school's..Annual..CrossCountry.. familarisation run. Some raced eagerly to the changing rms while others screamed in unison of something yellow and orange?!

Okay and so we went to the MAJESTIC MacRitchie Reservoir for the run which we did with excellence.

Oh ya i forgot the most important part. Read carefully hor.

MacRitchie Reservoir (Chinese: 麦里芝蓄水池) is Singapore's first reservoir. The reservoir was completed in 1868 by impounding water from an earth embankment, and was then known as the Impounding Reservoir or Thomson Reservoir.

Before the early 19th century, most of the Singapore main island was covered by primary forest. Soon after the British established a settlement in Singapore in 1819 and commercial activity took root, there was a demand for fresh water. However, it was decades before the settlement's first fresh water supply was established.

Over 100 ha of primary forest still flourish in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve today, particularly around MacRitchie. Rubber trees, remnants of the plantations there in the 19th century, can still be seen along the fringes around MacRitchie.

There are boardwalks skirting the edge of the scenic MacRitchie Reservoir and walking trails through the forest. They range in distances from 3 km to 11 km. Interpretative signboards along the boardwalks allow for a self-guided tour along the fringes of the MacRitchie forest.

Okay end of 1min tour guide. Back to the run, ok and so we ran our hearts out and clench our fists in truimph as we completed the ardous but fruitful journey. And den we went home and began our cyber-class gathering where evryone is spamming econs.

And so the day ended...with that i shall leave u with a QOTD:

Always put ur best foot forward,but the other leg also must move!
