I don't wanna be a Couch Potato!

Sembawang to Kranji War Memorial = 10.4KM
Kranji War Memorial to Bukit Batok Nature Park = 10.3KM
Bukit Batok Nature Park to Kent Ridge Park Carpark = 16.45KM
Kent Ridge Park Carpark to Delta Sports Hall = 7.4KM
Delta Sports Hall to Singapore Indoor Stadium = 12.0KM
Singapore Indoor Stadium to Bedok Reservior Park = 12.25KM
Bedok Reservior Park to Serangoon Secondary School = 12.15KM
Serangoon Secondary School to Seletar Camp Gate = 6.5KM
Seletar Camp Gate to Sembawang = 14.9KM

Tally the distance up and you will get 100KM! And that is the distance I will be covering together with 4 other friends this Saturday through to Sunday. It should take us an estimated 29 hours to push through and complete this conquest.. Gosh! It's going to be loads of sweat and perseverance man!

This conquest is really tough and I really do not know how it will turn out. But I am no quitter, and I will push myself to complete this 100KM route. Such an achievement is something which NOBODY can take away from me and it will stay with me forever as a milestone of my life!

Compare such an achievement from those which we get from computer gaming.. it is such a far cry. In my workplace, I see many youths get caught up in gaming and spend tonnes of hours hooked in front of the computer screen trying to conquer maps and maps on DOTA or World of Warcraft. What does those achievement amount to? .... NOTHING! In fact nowadays it is even possible for people to hack into our accounts and we lose all our high level gaming characters!

There's nothing wrong with gaming, it is a good way of destress and fun. But definitely to be done within the correct boundaries.. which many youths today can't handle. Rather than wasting time building up things that are temporal, why not invest the time wisely in things that will last forever, that NOBODY can take away from us!

I rather push my physical limits and conquer 100KM rather than be a stuck whole day to a computer screen and conquering virtual maps. Watch out for my victory photos soon! =)
