the omg-a-deuter-bag moment

when i got to Majlis Sukan Negara this morn for the press conference, the first thing i saw was the neatly lined up Deuter haversacks on the table with bold printed name tags on them. My heart stopped for a second. i knew the benefits were good, but a 30L Deuter Haversack?? whoa!!

i say this coz i was actually shopping for one not too long ago, for my upcoming climb. but they were all way out of my league. i can't believe i got one for free!!!

you know, i'm starting to think that maybe, i'm pretty lucky afterall. i've always had this idea that the lucky one in the family was my brother. scholarships make a beeline to him, teachers all praise his diligence, he gets amazing results, and he gets to go to Australia. i used to believe i was the slightly more wayward one, the one with a long list of mischief tales to tell, the one whom teacher knew for not exactly the right reasons... i think the number of fights ive picked with my parents is beyond countable. but i digress.

anyway, life has been goood to me lately. i get plastered up on a 6 metre wall in front of a very busy road, i get a part in the main cast of a musical when we all know i cant sing, and now, i've got this. The Powerbar Team Elite. Half the time i was there this morning, i was conscious about what people would think of me as every single one of them were literally elite athletes in their own sport. i was the only one who's not-quite-there. i still don't quite belief that i got in, but i'm in...it's real.

anyway, i'm more of a karma believer, so i'll just comfort myself that i must've done something right...:)

well, here are some shots i took of this morn. enjoy.
