congratulations poach (you running fiend!) on completing your first half-marathon!!! i don't think i'll ever be home to see you run or run with you for the next - 6 years - but chen bao zhen! wo men yong yuan zhi chi ni! (heh, that felt juvenile and rgs and good!) (i called home last night and my dad (they came back from china on friday) said he made a clipping of the straits times article on the marathon for me after i had told him some weeks back that you were running in it!)
poach came online and bellowed minz! excitedly at me, no doubt because she wanted to tell me about the race, but i was in bed and quite asleep by that time. but it is not too late now:
