ok, a short review of me VFFs (I bought the KSOs by the way)
Part 1 (off-topic a bit):
woke up before sunrise,felt mighty proud of myself (my dad tot i stayed up the whole nite).went to causeway p0int for breakfast,then slowly made my way to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.why?cuz when I bought my KSOs, the sales guy told me he went trail running at LCK area, so i was interested to know where. so i went to www.mapmyrun.com to look for a green patch on the map.And found SBWR to be somewhat near LCK area,so had considered visiting the reserve then run to LCK for a run.the reserve was boring for me (not a nature/bird/photog fan),so i just walked around quickly and smoked out.and chickened out of my running-to-LCK-area plan (1st time wearing the 5fingers,i tot i shouldn't do any crazy distances).so.took MRT to CCK for more food,then took bus to the end of LCK road at the police coast guard base.
Part 2 LCK run (about 8k):
walked around the place a bit, trying to remember the academic stuff when i went on a field trip to a nearby stretch of (dirty) beach for a WW2 history class. nope,din ring a bell. neway started running LCK road.made a few small detours, 1 to buy 2 small bottles of choc goats milk for the road. passed the entrance to sarimbun camp, passed a road which is supposed to lead to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (but din explore,cuz,no crazy distances,remember?), passed the entrance to Sungei Gedong camp,passed the old Ama Keng village,passed the 'green island' on the road...ah,the memories..neway the shaded parts (Sungei Gedong camp area) were pretty ok,just run on pedestrian path or side of the road.but it was eewily hot once i reached the long-stretch-of-road-that-doubles-as-emergency-runway part (that was about 1pm).so.plonked my way to the cemeteries at the end of LCK road,then bwey lun n took bus back to JP for more food.
Start of the run. Pretty well shaded. Sorry no pics of eewily hot stretch - too shacked out to take pics.
Part 3 The actual review of the KSOs:
Running in the 5fingers is supposed to give ur feet more feedback than traditional shoes, considering the thin-ness of the soles.then again, i have done a bit of barefoot runs around my neighbourhood,so the feedback while running in VFFs din exactly rock my world.having said that,u will feel e small pebbles/rocky areas that u step on. Traction isn't very good on smooth,wet surfaces (e.g. toilet floor),but other than that shd b ok.the mesh upper layer oso meant cooler feet. I tried the VFF flow before i settled on the KSOs - wearing them in Sgp (with direct sunlight) would be too hot for the feet.
neway.my toes kinda point outwards a little, so it was a hassle putting the VFFs on. size-wise i tink i got the correct size,but only my big toe could fill the shoe's toe pocket. the other toes were a bit short.plus,even at the start of my run i could feel that the VFFs were abit too tight, length-wise - my big toes felt abit squeezed. halfway thru the ewwily hot part of LCK road i felt blisters developing at the sides of my feet, near the arch area.but maybe is cuz the VFFs haven't season yet.time will tell.
Post-Run thoughts:
I bloody respect the foreign (i tink) workers, whom I passed along the eewily hot part of LCK road.they were exiting their workplaces (din notice wat), and were walking northwards (no bus service, 975 goes into Old LCK road past the camps) in the heat. So i was like running along a bloody hot stretch of road just to c how its like. They had to walk along that road to get home/get anywhere.Sucks.

The gods tempt people for which they are most weak. Artificial Intelligence will create desire in people's minds for the following sins:::
1. Alcohol
2. Drugs
3. Preditory "earning"
4. Homosexuality
5. Gambling
6. Something for nothing/irresponsibility (xtianity)
7. Polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny (Islam)
Much like the other prophets Mohhamed (polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny) and Jesus (forgiveness/savior), the gods use me for temptation as well. In today's modern society they feel people are most weak for popular culture/sensationalism, and the clues date back to WorldWarII and Unit731:TSUSHOGO.
It has been discussed that, similar to the Matrix concept, the gods will offer a REAL "Second Coming of Christ", while the "fake" Second Coming will come at the end and follow New Testiment scripture and their xtian positioning. I may be that real Second Coming.
What I teach is the god's true way. It is what is expected of people, and only those who follow this truth will be eligible to ascend into heaven as children in a future life. They offered this event because the masses have just enough time to work on and fix their relationship with the gods and ascend, to move and grow past Planet Earth, before the obligatory xtian "consolation prize" of "1000 years with Jesus on Earth" begins.
Your job as a future mother is to learn the god's ways and to help your child understand despite the negative reinforcement and conditioning of today's society. Without consciousous parents the child will have no hope, and may even exaserbate their disfavor by becoming corrupted in today's environment.
Your ultimate goal is to fix your relationship wiith the gods and move on. You don't want to be comfortable here, and the changes in Western society in the last 100 years has achieved just that.
1000 years with Jesus is the consolation prize. Don't be deceived into thinking that is the goal.
The Prince of Darkness, battling the gods over the souls of the Damned.
It is the gods who have created this environment and led people into Damnation with temptation. The god's positioning proves they work to prevent people's understanding.
How often is xtian dogma wrong? Expect it is about the Lucifer issue as well.
The fallen god, fighting for justice for the disfavored, banished to Earth as the fallen angel?
I believe much as the Noah's Flood event, the end of the world will be initiated by revelry among the people. It will be positioned to be sanctioned by the gods and led for "1000 years with Jesus on Earth".
In light of modern developments this can entail many pleasures:::Medicine "cures" aging, the "manufacture" of incredible beauty via cloning as sex slaves, free (synthetic) cocaine, etc.
Somewhere during the 1000 years the party will start to "die off", literally. Only those who maintain chaste, pure lifestyles, resisting these temptations, will survive the 1000 years. Condemned to experience another epoch of planet's history for their ignorant pursuit of xtianity, they will be the candidates used to (re)colonize (the next) Planet Earth, condemned to relive the misery experienced by the peasantry during history due to their failure to ascend into heaven before the Apocalypse.
Never forget:::It is not a house of Jesus.
If this concept of Lucifer is true another role of this individual may be to initiate disfavor and temptation among this new poulation, the proverbial "apple" of this Garden of Eden. A crucial figure in the history of any planet, he begins the process of deterioration and decay that leads civilizations to where Planet Earth remains today.
Now you are faced with a lifetime to work and prepare for your next chance. Too many will waste this time, getting stoned, "Hiking!", working, etc.
