AdMiRaBLE

Did you catch the Ren Ci Charity Show last night?

I did... I though what the Reverend did was amazing. To pull himself up (while attached to bundles of knotty ropes) 23 storey building is downright nerve wrecking and you need tons and tons of stamina and willpower. Gosh, I would have faltered the moment I reach the first storey haha...

Height phobia aside, the sheer strength to PULL your legs and arms up with 2 ropes up such a towering a building is not for the faint hearted. In fact it makes running up the stairs of a 23 storey building look easy.

I have personally tried inching my way up coarse nylon ropes before and hell it hurts k! I will not have survived. Hence I salute the Reverend for his bravery and determination in the name of helping the disadvantaged at Ren Ci Hospital.

He managed to pull himself up 15 storeys and you could see CLEARLY how damn tired and short of breath plus not to mention strained muscles and aching legs/arms but he persisted. He was also supposed to pull himself up another 8 storeys on a SINGLE ROPE but due to some knotty rope problem, the feat was abandoned.

Gosh, even hardcore athletics in this field commented it is an uphill task that requires lotsa practise, stamina and perserverance.

And the donation calls poured in like an overflowing dam. Garnering like 200 000 calls during the Reverend's stunt.

It is very touching. I don't see XX doing any stunts to garner donation for his ex-charity organisation...
