did some shopping and bought some essential items for the trip and training. or rather, i had to go hunting for these stuff. i finally settled on a pair of hiking boots from Hi-Tec. sheesh.. i know it's the lowest end of the lot in comparison to Columbia, Cat and Timberland, but since i ain't certain if i'll be climbing another mountain, i'd rather just spend the minimal to ensure my safety in completing the journey. i just hope these boots don't give way on my climb or cause me any discomfort *bites fingernails* but i'd sure as hell don't mind getting a good pair if any more ppl are interested in mountain climbing! pls jio me then!

also managed to hunt down my intended running shoes @ Queensway which i managed to save $55 from the main Asics store. uber happy when the boss quoted me the price cos i was already expecting to pay 200+ for it. yay!

The prey => Asics Gel Evolution 3: Running shoe built for the excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced stability. havent fully utilised it since the weather is always so threatening when i reach home from work. my1st ever pair of Asics after all these years which i'm more than happy to spend on, cos previous shoes were sponsored by my parents and they don't exactly spoil us in getting whatever we want. so it was mostly more affordable ones. yippe yay for this buy!
