The RockMaster Competition

5.30 am
Everything was dark, empty and dull in Lavender Terminal Bus. We walked down about 1km away to the nearest MRT station and danggg ! Straight away go to Dover station?? The Singapore Polytechnic.

6.30 am - 3.00 pm
Yes, the whole day we were there, at the competition waiting for his turn. I was so tireeeeed, sticky, sleepy. But not even a single a complaint from me. Anyway, I was quite surprised with the polytechnic, it was HUGE! They even had a McDonald, Burger King ! Wow, I am so in love with the food ! :)
The best part, the whole area equipped with wifi ! So, I played with his Ipad, googling maps, places to go later and facebooking plus twittering. *Can't get rid of that actually. *

3.00 pm - 6.00 pm
Finally, his turn. I never had a chance to see he climb at Camp5. So, I was a bit excited to see he climb those wall. It may look easy, but it was actually kinda hard. I didn't know that sometimes you have to depend on two finger and hang yourself. Hmm, imagine if I climb?? *Ohmy, I don't think that I'll able to move at all! *

Anyway,  back to the competition. I saw he was a bit nervous since there were a lot of talented and experienced climbers. He completed 4 of 6 route during the competition, and I am so proud of him ! It was his first competition, and I am glad I was there supporting him.

Just for you: 
"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."

Waiting for his turn 3.30pm
