Hail Hail Hail!

Yay I've seen hail for the first time in my life! Yes I noe it sounds pathetic that I am so excited but heh its a novelty for us Equatorial people eh? Well Saturday was the day of the Hyde Park Relays organised by Imperial College. We, and London in all its dreary and somewhat dismal glory was host to teams from all over Europe! Eh anyway before I get to the race bit lemme tell u smth abt London's unusual weather. Right when I left the house it was rainy. Waiting for the race to begin, it was all sunny not a cloud! But when the race started (hehe Lawrence's leg) it began to rain pretty cold and heavily. However during my leg the rain let up hehe. Meanwhile it was windy and freezin all the while! During our next leg, Lawrence (for all his luck is worth) encountered the hail during the his run again whilst I experienced clear skies once more! Heh mebbe my luck is staring to gimme a break!
Well my runs were not fantastic cos seriously I was too cold. The first run, I didn't get heat into my legs till more than half way through the course (a rather scenic one ard the park actually). The second one although I was nice and warmed up, my legs were already a little tired and splinted from the first. Running here is really a trade-off between the lower exhaustion rate (than humid Singapore) vs. the perenially cold and stunted muscles.
But I ended the day in high fashion, at Uncle Kenny's place ... away from the cold, away from my HW (e.g. my bloody essay which I am trying to write now) but with family! There's always something warm about being with family even when u dun talk but just being in their presence. But we did talk and as usual Uncle Kenny's cooking was sedap! Curry chicken, some wierd stingray thingy and more! Heh went to bed at 1030, the first early night in awhile and woke up the next morning afresh! Well I wasn't sleepy in the EEC sermon so thats a sign!
Good message today abt forgiveness and love. Basically to receive God's love we must love our fellow men just as much. I mean I dun really hold grudges but once in awhile u do feel the slight irritation at people and I guess even that is not good cos not letting it off completely and quickly lets it simmer long and drawn out till it festers. Eh I was trying to be poetic just long-winded. Well God is good, life is good what more can one hope for (other than less HW hehe). Looking forward to tmr!
